How are the gay firefighters? What's the couch theory?

Gay firefighters are great, 911anon!

Couch theory hmmmm how best to summarize.

There’s a lot more layers to this but on a base level:

Earlier this season, Buck is cooking for Eddie and Christopher (Lasagna and it’s his third try) when Christopher makes fun of him for not having a couch. Buck reveals that he associates his couches with his relationships and that he’s worried about picking a new one (couch/relationship).

In the last episode, we see that his mother (who he’s largely estranged from) has bought him a new couch. Try as he might, Buck can’t fall asleep on it both due to interruptions and apparent discomfort. When feed up with people visiting, he heads to Eddie’s where falls asleep on Eddie’s couch before Eddie even returns from the kitchen with drinks.

Buck’s actor (Oliver) has revealed that the couch Buck’s mom bought won’t last.

More in-depth analysis here, here, and here

Basically, couch theory is a canonical idea about Buck relating couches to his relationships with people.

Hen and Buck moments (requested by anon)

[911-incorrect-quotes-dispatch]

Buck: Hey babe, I think we need to be a little quieter at night.

Eddie: Why? We have the house to ourselves.

Buck: The neighbors came and knocked on the door and said "Hey Buck, could you guys possibly keep the noise down?"

Eddie: Did they tell you why?

Buck: They didn't have to. I never told them my name before.

Eddie: Oh... Well, I can't be held responsible for what I do while you pulverize my prostate. They better get some earplugs, I guess.

alright kasia. 911 anon here. i have watched every episode. hmmm. lol i don't think i've ever seen less chemistry than buck and tommy. also eddie/marisol/kim storyline??? ok. a choice. i don't really have well executed thoughts yet but now i'm invested for 8b lol anyway going to go enjoy that firehouse pda fic and then go down a rabbithole bc i can't be normal about new interests!!

i'm crying YOU DID IT!!!!! YOU MADE ITTTTT ♥️ also 😬😬😬😬😬 HAHA. WELL. think of it that way...... at least you caught up AFTER we've already had beautiful 8A in the world 🫡 i was struggling with catching up on s7 so much prior to s8 premiere 😭 and we must not forget about years long buddie warriors..... i can't even imagine.....

ANYWAY i've been loving s8, and am v excited about 8B, too 🙂‍↕️ let's get that canon buddie on the road!!!!!!

But are the gay bitches together or do they have a kid? I'm so lost with this show

I’m obsessed with the phrasing of the question, nonnie. Lol

Spoilers below for 911 & 911: Lone Star

This is Eddie Diaz. He joins 911 in S2. He’s a single parent, estranged from his wife and the mother of his child.

This is his son Christopher Diaz, Eddie’s son.

This is Buck. Buck and Eddie are partners in the field and quickly become best friends (after a short enemies to friends stint).

Buck and Eddie are not together in the show, but Buck is canonically the person Christopher goes to when he scared or angry and can’t go to his father. We frequently see Buck cooking for the Diaz boys, babysitting Chris, or helping in some other fashion (like assisting Eddie with creating a skateboard that was safe for Christopher to ride - Chris has Cerebral Palsy). Eddie eventually changes his will so that if anything happens to him, Buck will be Christopher’s legal guardian. Additionally, we frequently see how much Eddie and Buck care about each other. When Eddie has a PTSD episode, Buck is the one that he talks to. When Buck has issues with his family, he goes to Eddie. Etc.

There are hints going on that could be foreshadowing or could be queerbaiting. (People on separate occasions have assumed Christopher was Buck’s, that Buck and Eddie were a couple, and that Buck is gay.) This definitely could be queerbaiting, however, the show has a happily married lesbian couple with an adorable child

(Hen, Karen, & Denny)

And the spin-off has a very cute gay couple

(TK & Carlos)

So they writers definitely aren’t against lgbtq+ couples so it’s not an impossibility that they may eventually be canon.

TLDR: Buck and Eddie are not canonically in a romantic relationship. Chris is Eddie’s son and Buck plays a kind of additional paternal/familial role in Christopher’s life.

And kind of opened up his world, and he had this moment of, “Oh! That’s the thing that I was looking for.”
