During a recent set visit, Guzman was directly asked about Eddie’s love life, a topic frequently debated among devoted viewers. His response was immediate and enthusiastic: “I want to see that too.” He carefully avoided revealing specifics, but confirmed something is indeed in development.
Guzman playfully described the unfolding storyline as being “sprinkled in,” suggesting a gradual and carefully crafted arc for his character. This subtle tease has ignited fervent speculation about who might capture Eddie’s heart.
For many, the hope centers around a long-awaited connection with Evan “Buck” Buckley, played by Oliver Stark. The pairing, affectionately dubbed “Buddie” by fans, has been a central desire within the show’s community for eight seasons.
Stark himself has acknowledged the undeniable chemistry between the characters, even describing their interactions as “super gay.” He’s consistently expressed openness to exploring a romantic relationship if it serves the story authentically.
Stark recently shared that Buck is on a journey of self-discovery, navigating various relationships and exploring what he truly desires. He’s embracing a fluid approach to love and connection, allowing possibilities to unfold naturally.
A recent storyline showcased Buck’s involvement in a complex throuple situation, further fueling speculation about his evolving romantic life. Stark emphasized that these experiences aren’t necessarily sought out, but rather opportunities for growth and understanding.
While remaining guarded about definitive answers, Stark hinted at Buck’s continued exploration of his identity and desires. He believes Buck’s journey is about constant evolution, leaving the door open for a multitude of possibilities.
Beyond the romantic possibilities, fans have also passionately advocated for Buck to explicitly identify as bisexual, a moment of representation that would resonate deeply within the community. This desire stems from Buck’s recent realization and acceptance of his bisexuality.
However, not everyone is convinced a romantic pairing between Eddie and Buck is the right path for the show. One of the series’ creators has suggested that focusing on a traditional romantic outcome for the pair might not be the most compelling direction.
Despite differing opinions, the anticipation surrounding Eddie’s love life – and the potential for “Buddie” to finally become a reality – remains incredibly high. The unfolding story promises to be a captivating and emotionally charged chapter in the lives of these beloved characters.
