I was kinda thinking about the future of Tommy. We can be sure that the character will come back for S8. Tommy was supposed to be there for only 4 episodes and that he already has been there for more.

As for now, Tommy has been seen in 7x03, 7x04, 7x05, 7x6 and 7x9 and he also was in the Finale.

For one, Lou and Oliver did an interview together and we can assume it's not the only one. You don't ask your actor to do a 5 minute interview in which they barely talk about the show (also I think that the host made the interview awkward and both Lou and Oliver were picking a bad vibe.) Also, this interview was done late this season. Tommy came back in 7x03 and kissed Buck in 7x04. Yes, both Lou and Oliver did interviews but none of them were together and it wasn't on set. As for now, the Access Hollywood interview was the second interview that Oliver did on set, the first one being the Zach show. The rest were by zoom or other facecams ways. As for Lou, it's the only interview that was recorded. Everytime he did an interview, it was for an article and we never had the audio.

Also, Lou does cameo, and if you have a problem with the price I don't think it's his fault I think he put them at the lowest he can but the site up the prices because of the demands. Simple economy lesson, the more there will be demands the less the offer will meet the demands and so in order to change that the price changes. More on the cameo part, Lou has changed the way he does cameo. When he used to talk about Tommy, he would talk freely about him, his cameo would be pretty straightforward and he even made a backstory for Tommy, which I love because as someone who likes to do some deep dives on a character's psyche, the backstory explains a ton. But recently, his demeanor changed. He did a cameo in which he was more vague and kept looking to the sides as if there was something or someone reminding him to "behave".

Another thing, Lou was added in a video the cast did for Instagram. A video that had everyone, minus Peter and Angela, might be exempt from social media because Angela is less active than the rest and Peter is non-existent (Thank you Kenny for giving us proof that Peter is still alive with your Tiktok or Instagram posts). Also, Tim had posted a BTS that was just a frame of Tommy and that could mean something.

But I also want to talk about something, the contract. When Tommy came back, Lou said that he was only there for 4 episodes. And that might be right, at the time. Upon seeing the reaction about Tommy and maybe seeing how well the producers seem to like Lou, his contract for S7 has been extended for two more episodes, including the finale. It doesn't make sense for someone like Lou who keeps talking about how good he feels on the 9-1-1 set to not ask to extend his contract.

But then what would happen in S8? I don't think Lou would or should get promoted to the main cast, regular at least. It doesn't come from some kind of hate for Tommy or Lou, I really like them both, but more in a storytelling point.

The show is a workplace drama meaning that the job is not only important but also kind of its own character. 9-1-1 also focuses on three jobs instead of one as other shows, like The Rookie, Station 19, Grey's Anatomy for instance, tend to do. On 9-1-1 we mostly focus on the 118, LAFD but also on the 911 operator and the LAPD. The show is mostly focused on the 118. Having Tommy as main would shake things up, it would add another station to focus on or have drastically more calls that will need air support but we would also need to introduce other characters from Harbor and I think the show would be too stacked. The only way to properly focus on Harbor would be to maybe have a spin-off focus on them with either Tommy as main character or as regular. Having Tommy a main on his show would cut down on his timescreen on 9-1-1 and thus impact the Buck/Tommy relationship; we saw that happen with Carina/Maya on Station 19/Grey's for instance.

Also if you're one of these people that think that the cast hates Lou. Oliver has only said nice things about him in interviews, Tracie has told that Lou was lovely when she went on live on the 9-1-1 Instagram page and Kenneth has been good friends with Lou since he was in S2. And if you think that Oliver hates Lou because he doesn't follow him on Instagram that would mean that Oliver also hates Tracie and Anirudh because he doesn't follow either of them. On Instagram, Oliver follows only the main cast of 9-1-1 and he seems to use his Instagram as more of a professional account. His posts are mostly show related, contrary to his stories in which he shares mostly his dogs.

Now as the main cast the easier way for them to add a character in the main cast would have them to either work at the 118, the LAPD, or the Dispatch center. It would be less likely to have someone work for the LAPD, the focus is more on Athena and she said multiple times that she hates working with someone. The Dispatch center could work better and we could up certain characters, like Linda or Josh, as main. That would work better. They are already existing characters that the public loves. We need more of them. The last case would have someone from the 118. They could either introduce someone new or push Ravi to main. Which would seem less likely. Anirudh seems to be the busiest actor in the show. I think he also got cast in another show and is also doing other shows outside of 9-1-1. He also seems to keep time to travel outside of work. You go King. Ravi as main would be possible, but it would also shake a lot from Anirudh's busy schedule.

Now, another character that fans have been begging for as main character is Karen. That would be trickier. If we follow my logic, you are free to disagree but be nice! Karen is neither from LAPD, Dispatch or the 118. She's Hen's wife and a rocket scientist. But that doesn't mean we wouldn't see more of her. 9-1-1 always showed us the characters' life outside of work. But since Hen is the only one from the main cast who has no one from her family as main, we saw less from her which is criminal. Maddie is with Chimney and both are main. Same for Bobby and Athena. Eddie and Chris are also part of the main cast, and Gavin seemed to have been pushed a little bit more upfront since he was part of the group promo for the season. As for Buck, for a while he had Taylor who had kinda her own thing and Tommy who also has his own thing.

Buck and Hen are in the same case, they both have their love interests that are not part of the main cast. Buck only Abby back in S1 but it mostly feels like Buck was the love interest since he was nowhere as important as he is now, same for Chimney.

But one thing that we saw in S7 is that Karen can be more important. She was there for when Hen came home after being demoted. Also the Mara storyline felt like it was more of a Karen and Hen than a Hen and Karen storyline and I would love to see more of Karen in S8. Honestly, I feel like she was in more episodes this season than she was in any others.

So now that I shared my thoughts you can share yours. Be nice or you will be blocked. There is too much unnecessary hate in the fandom for any characters and actors. I'm not going to tolerate people's shits.

Ryan basically said that it's probably that Eddie will feel "isolated" by the end of the season and I can feel a big fight between him and Buck.

We know they love each other and cares a lot about what they think about each other too. We know what happened with Lucy and Taylor. We know about Eddie not meeting Buck on his 1.0 days. We know about the fucking lawsuit and how that affected both.

Oliver said that at some point Buck meets Kim and says something like "She it's nothing like Shannon" and maybe it's because he figures out wtf is Eddie doing.

Buck will try to make senses into him because he cares, telling him about lying to Kim, Marisol, to Christopher!! and lying to him and because Eddie is still inside this wrecked bubble of delusions, it's probably that he snaps and starts to telling hurting things at Buck about his past (foreshadowing the "talk" with Christopher at the 7x01) and forcing a "break" on their friendship, leading Eddie to feel like he lost everything: The trust of his best friend, the trust of his son and finally Shannon.

I just hope that s8 will bring us new discovers for Eddie (cofcofeddiegaycofcof) and finally some happiness for Buddie.

please, take all the fire and ashes from bathena's life and give it to BUCK'S LOFT

Okay, I wanted to share just a little of what I think could happen on s8 (around just buddie) because the thought came to me so randomly that I can't stop thinking about it.

Paralleling to s4, Eddie gets injured in the big call at the start of the season (maybe on 8x03), leaving this space free for Buck to watch on Eddie and 'moving in' with him because he knows that Eddie will need him yes or yes. This maybe will cause 'trouble' on Buck's relationship with Tommy, causing the inevitable breakup + other pileup problems surrounding the differences between them, the 118 and Gerrard (bc i know he will be there to cause trouble somehow).

So, after Buck moves in with Eddie, he will try to convince him about returning to therapy, and because Christopher isn't there, Eddie will try to do his best to heal for him and his son (and for Buck too).

Healing will be the first step inside his internal journey to try and discover 'what is wrong with him'. This will lead to an Eddie Begins Again, where we can see his childhood, how's growing up inside a Mexican-Catholic house, how he ended up with Shannon and the guilty behind her pregnancy and the pressure of a wedding, maybe we can see hints of him feeling 'different' around boys and how this affected him and his decisions with the relationship around Shannon before marriage. And as we know, the Begin's episodes are in between present calls, maybe this time is a call where Buck is in danger and Eddie is trying to save him, to not lose him because he's feeling a lot and he's now capable of process all of these feelings thanks to therapy. Probably the episode will end with both okay but Eddie feeling empty with the thought of his life without Buck.

This can lead to the Christmas episode before mid-season break. Nobody is cheerful enough to do celebrations (paralleling to s3), Christopher is still in Texas and Buck is just there with Eddie. They talk about therapy (I can only imagine this talk on Eddie's kitchen), how Eddie was scared at the thought of losing Buck, they will probably touch the shooting and the will (s4) and how Buck felt the same back then and that's why he moved in with him now (at the start of the season) after his accident. Buck probably will start to notice the pattern and have his 'oh' moment right there, leading Eddie to take the risk and ask Buck "can I?" before kissing him.

This time, Eddie doesn't panic, maybe he's worried about making Buck uncomfortable but they just continue kissing. Maybe Buck runs away but he lets Eddie know that he isn't doing anything wrong, he just needs a minute to process what happened and that's when the mid-season ends, with Buck 'leaving' Eddie but with Eddie feeling full of emotions and with Buck's heart on his hands because he knows Buck enough to understand him.

s8b will just be Buddie navigating through their feelings and this new relationship between them. They will need to understand why this doesn't feel completely different from when they were just 'best friends' and understanding that now they can kiss freely, feeling this sense of power just with the thought of both being a real couple now and how their dynamics inside the 118 are just the same as always. Everything cam feel weird because they wouldn't know what to do now but nothing too bad, just funny moments of them being touchy and more happy and the whole 118 will be on this kind of limbo of suspiciousness (Tim could give us a 2 episodes of secret relationship with funny calls, lighthearted moments, jealousy) before they can't keep their feelings as a secret and start spilling the tea to all.

Eddie will continue the therapy and Buck will continue living with Eddie until Christopher cames back and starts asking questions, and I just hope for him not to freak out or give Buddie a hard moment (paralleling to s4/s7 with the whole Ana thing and people leaving like Shannon, etc.) because I'll lose my shit if that happens.

But yeah, this is my vision of what I imagined for next season. I'm so excited for what's next and jumping with excitement at the thought of Eddie being a gay character CANON. Tim cannot leave him without that arc, that's the only thing that needs to happen yes or yes, I cannot watch any other woman near Eddie because that man is GAY.

This are just my thoughts but please, be respectful and don't throw pebbles at me pls :((
