Oliver Stark’s 9-1 Character, Evan “Buck” Buckley, is preparing for the transfer to the best friend Eddie Diaz in Texas, and it is not Manage it well.
“He has dealt with the abandonment problems of his entire life, and this is a huge piece of the puzzle and the makeup of who he is, he has felt abandoned many times,” said Stark, 33, exclusively. Use weekly Faced with the mid -season premiere. “And I think something about 118 and Eddie, in particular, because of his bond out of 118, is someone that Buck did not expect to do it.”
Stark said that Buck’s deep -rooted abandonment issues go back to the episode “Buck Begins” of season 4, when he learned that he had an older brother who died of leukemia just after birth, and was conceived in the hope of giving his sick brother his bone marrow.

In “Sobstories”, which premiered on Thursday, March 6, abandonment problems go back up to their ugly head when, despite their best attempts, Buck cannot avoid spiral over Eddie (Ryan Guzman) imminent transfer to the state of the star of lonely to be closer to the child Christopher (Gavin MCHUGH)).
From sabotear possible Subletters to a knee pet adoption, Buck is clearly struggling to lose his greatest confidant. Stark said that abandonment reaches “tougher” for Buck because when it comes to Eddie, he never expected to say goodbye.
“I think this is the basis of why he hits it so strong, because it is something that depended so much and he put so much stability and faith in this stability,” he said, adding that Buck listened to Eddie that he told possible tenants that there is nothing and that no one will keep him in an additional punch for the gut.
“Listen, nobody wants to hear what he heard to say to Eddie, right? Eddie did not mean this in this way, but Buck has clearly interpreted that nothing I care about here, “Stark explained. This is bad, and acts from a place of wounded trauma and regurgity. “
Stark added that Eddie is “Obviously a huge part“From Buck’s life -” does not refuse this, “he said, noting that Buck begins the episode” intent to help “his friend rent his apartment before things get up quickly.
“It really wants to be this good friend for him and be part of the process and take the weight of Eddie’s shoulders as much as possible,” Stark insisted. “And I think, in doing it, it is almost convinced that he wants (he moves) and (yes) is better for Eddie, then it is better for me.”
Buck, stated Stark, “he has almost blind” about the painful that Eddie left. “You will not let these emotions feel because he wants to be a supportive friend and wants to be there and help. So he did not allow himself to deepen these emotions and (think) how difficult it will be for him. Since it would be an obstruction in the way he does,” Stark explained, adding with a smile, “while ending up being.”
True, Buck ends up doing things well until the end of the episode, going further and signed up, under the name Faldie Fakeman, to rent Eddie’s house while he left. Before that moment of clarity, however, Buck and Eddie disagree so that viewers do not see often. This tension was something that liked Stark, even for a rhythm.
“It’s always fun to deepen. We all have a high level of confidence and security between us as a distribution. So in those times when we become a little more antagonistic with each other, it’s fun, “he confessed. “I like, I love these things, to push these buttons and see how far you can push the envelope. The conflict is a drama and makes a great television. I’m always here for it.”
The drama is served in the sinks of “Sobstories”, and we do not even talk about all this about Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt). When Eddie arrives at his limit on Buck saboting his mobile plans, he accuses Buck of “always”. For Stark, however, the situation is more complex.
“ I think this is what we do to some extent, do we all have reactions on stage, ” Stark argued. “ We feel how we feel and react.Buck can only react to any particular situation from where he is inside it. And he is true to the scene where he says: “ It’s not even a question that I do not ask you not to go to find your child. Of course your child wins. It’s not delusional, it’s not stupid and I didn’t want that. But it’s also wounded. “
Humans, Stark explained, can feel and wish multiple things at the same time. “At the same time, you can wish someone to go to do what is best for them and you will miss them, you know? This does not mean that (vol) Christopher be alone forever. It is only that he is a complex being, as we are all, and being more than one thing at once. “
In the end, Buck’s hopes for Eddie and Christopher’s happiness to win -and Buck ends the episode feeling well with his decision to rent Eddie’s apartment. But according to Stark, these positive feelings will not last much.
“I think it’s not as soft of a transition as you expect it to be, ” said Stark Us of the new excavations of Buck. “You know, he moves to a space reminded of his missing friend. So, yes … he will not be as soft of a transition as he expected, or wait, that he was.”
Will Buck become a new dog? After all, the first to save the fire finally returned home to its legitimate owners. (Whoa, everyone really comes out of Buck!) Stark said that he would “love” a little stick for his character, but as the owner of a dog, he is not sure he would make much sense.
“The problem is that firefighters are working very long hours. Who will take care of that dog? This dog will take walks? Will you let go?
Then, if there is no dog, what is below? This is under wrapping, but whatever, the viewers are apparently walking. When asked how he would describe the rest of Buck Season 8 trip in three words, Stark said Us: “Uncomfortable, opportunity and devastating”. Well, that sounds alarming!
