Warning: Spoilers for the latest episode of 9-1-1 and potential spoilers born from theories.

Where my 9-1-1 viewers at? Because we need go talk after that episode and the 9-1-1 lonestar crossover episode. (DISCUSSION BELOW)

1) Is Maddie secretly Bucks mum? Bare with me here the actors are 12 years apart and its not uncommon for actors to play roles both older and younger than they are...so if Buck’s 2 years younger than the actor playing him and Maddie's the same age as the actress the Maddie would have been about 14 when he was born...same goes with buck being the same age as Oliver stark and Maddie being two years older than the actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. Personally I'd love it as Maddie's played mama to buck since season 2 and it would explain all the good people bad parent talk if they weren't actually his parents 💖

2) is Buck adopted, will we meet his biological parents? Got to say I'd prefer Maddie being mama but id be down to meet his biological daddy 👀

3) is Buddie ever going to happen? The crossover with 9-1-1 Lonestar particularly that scene near the end gave me newfound hope but I just cant decide if Buck and Eddie are slow burn endgame or just queerbaiting but my faith in the tv god Ryan Murphy says he wouldn't tease me like that 😂

4) Will Buck's therapy lead to him coming out as bi or pansexual? Or is he just feeling like somethings missing due to some kind of intuition about being adopted?

Please share thoughts and opinions in the comments, I would love to hear your theories about all this 👀 my brain will be working overtime until the show gives us answers so may as well get lost within theories until then 😂

Since you’re about to start Lonestar soon, here’s my essay on the whole screen-time balancing issue:

So, for the original 9-1-1, the show was created specifically for Angela Bassett. They wanted to do an entire show around her, and they came up with this whole first responders thing as a result. Obviously, if they were going to focus on all aspects of first responding, then they would need some other headlining actors to lead those other areas or nobody would care about any parts of the show besides Athena’s. They got Peter Krauss and Connie Britton. Both big names. This makes it where when cop stuff is being shown, we have a big name, when firefighter/EMS stuff is being show, we have a big name, and when dispatcher stuff is being shown, we have a big name. It evenly divides the interest in all three directions. Then, Connie Britton leaves, and amazingly and very wisely, rather than replacing her with a lesser-known actress or just stopping the dispatcher scenes altogether, they snag JLH for the role. And I know there are many people out there who only started watching the show due to being a fan of her. She’s a headliner, and that’s what headliners do: pull in more audience. Anyway, this works perfectly to maintain that balance of the three areas. Now, I honestly don’t think the writers were expecting Buck to be as much of a fan-favorite as he is because now when we’re looking at the firehouse, the focus is usually more on him rather than Bobby, especially now that Bathena is a thing and a lot of their scenes are together outside of work. Regardless, the point is that they set things up really well to have that initial balance of characters in the beginning, and they did a good job of maintaining that by bringing in JLH. This foundation starts to wobble a bit with the more characters they add to the cast, the harder it gets to give everyone proper focus, and this is the main reason I’m so opposed to them giving Taylor a bunch of screen time. Anyway, it was a spectacular formula. You’d think they would try to repeat it with the spin-off, right?

Well, they tried…. I guess? Rob Lowe was obviously the centerpiece to frame the show around just like Angela Bassett had been, but he’s definitely not suited to play the role of a cop, and he has a very small handful of similarities with Bobby I guess so let’s make him the fire Captain. Okay there’s our first headliner. We need two more if we’re gonna show police and dispatch, right?

Eh, let’s just get one more, not two. They get Liv Tyler. So she’s gonna be a police officer? No. A dispatcher (which I personally would have loved)? Nope. See, the thing is, in Texas, EMS is a separate crew from firefighters. Unlike in LA where all firefighters are required to be EMTs at the bare minimum and most are also trained paramedics because they make better pay. In Texas the two are separate entities that just happen to share a fire station. So, let’s make Liv Tyler the paramedic captain. And then we’ll cast two little-known actors to play the only named cop and the only named dispatcher.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Carlos and Grace. Their actors are incredible, and when they actually get screen-time, they’re the stars of the show. But the problem is that they’re not headliners. Why would the writers give them much screen-time when it’s Rob Lowe and Liv Tyler’s big names that are pulling in the viewers. So, the focus of the show is almost entirely on the firehouse. To make matters worse, even the other firefighters have a hard time finding any attention in the midst of a Rob Lowe show.

In seasons one (I promise this won’t be spoiler-y), Carlos the sole police officer is best friends with Liv Tyler’s character and so this is the main way they bring him into the story when he’s not responding to police calls or interacting with TK as a love interest. Grace is of course married to the firefighter Judd, so that’s how she is more involved in the plot. Unfortunately, Liv leaves after season 1. Gina Torres comes in as the new paramedic captain, but this presents a huge problem for Carlos in season 2. Now, his only connection to the main story is TK. Gina’s character is best friends with Grace, so that gives Grace some better screen-time, but Carlos is virtually diminished to a love interest rather than an interesting first-responder character in his own right. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see. I honestly wish they would have brought in another big name to be Carlos’ partner on the job, and then added a secondary dispatcher character with a compelling personality similar to how they added Josh in season 2 of the original show. Anyway, I truly love all the characters on Lonestar (except Rob Lowe and his ex-wife that shows up in season 2), but the writers make it hard to care much about them with the minuscule crumbs they give us outside of anything that is Rob’s giant ego.

I know this is super long, and I’m sorry, but I’ve been ruminating on all these thoughts since season 1 of Lonestar first aired. Anyway, still excited to hear your takes on everything once you get the chance to watch it.

hi, anon!!!! first of all, sorry for the late reply, it took me a while to gather my thoughts and put them down properly, but more importantly thank you so much for remembering to send me this!!! it was a really interesting read, especially for someone like me who 1) has no idea how things in the USA work, and 2) still doesn't know much about how the show came to be

i've never really thought about it, but as far as marketing strategies go, it does actually make a lot of sense to have one big name for each area of first responding to attract the general public and make them interest in all the different storylines, so the moment they decided to bring in only 2 big names for lone star, and not 3, this could definitely have been a factor in the decision of making lone star more rob lowe centric, at least at first (if you have a well known actor in your show, it does kinda feel natural to make him the center of the story)

however, i feel like this choice can be understandable only for the first season, when the viewers don't know the other actors yet, and you can use the big name to make people interested in the show and slowly introduce all the characters so the viewers get invested in them too, slowly giving them more space and screen time

this is why i think the og series did a great job by bringing in JLH, not only because she is JLH, but because they gave maddie a lot of connections (she is buck's sister, she is chimney's love interest) and thanks to her we got to actually see more of the dispatchers and learn to care about other characters (josh, sue, etc.), to the point that now, even if for some reason you took maddie out of the show, the characters she have connections with would still work perfectly fine and have their own story to tell without her

so it's kinda upsetting to me to learn that with liv tyler's character gone, carlos has been pretty much reduced only to love interest, because it means that they didn't really take the time to give him a story of his own, and it sucks, especially when in the original ALL THE CHARACTERS get their moment to shine

okay, sorry, this is getting super long and idk if im making sense, the point is that i do agree with you on the big names, though i also feel like for some reason in lone star there's a reticence to give focus to other characters and after 2 seasons it can't be just 'they don't attract viewers', but of course i can't really give a proper opinion on this until i watch lone star myself, so.. sorry again for the long and messy reply ;;;;;;;;

[ssa-baby-outlaw]

9-1-1 LONESTAR S3 EP4

Spoilers below baybiieesss

• I don't have to wait over a week to watch this episode! I just keep seeing that one video of carlos with his hands over tks eyes but apart from that I've avoided spoilers, let's go!

• Oh Billy do shut up "I will rip your weasel tongue out" I'm in love with how much she hates him

• Nancy knooowwsss

• NO! I much preferred the wild owen look

• Okay idk if they will say it in this episode or not so I'm gonna get my prediction in there now: I guess that tarlos broke up because carlos proposed to tk and he said no

• I honestly didnt like Owen's reaction to tk in the hospital, first of all he made it about himself, and second of all we've seen before that he is the type of person who wants to stick around and be there for tk even if he is unconscious and now they've suddenly decided that he's the type of person who doesnt want to sit around but needs something to do

• "I didnt wanna let you down" stop carlos😭😭😭

• Mama Reyes is bae

• Oh no did carlos buy the house on his own

• "A sweet power move"

• We finally have owen showing some emotion

• Y'all know one of my biggest pet peeves in shows is shitty fake CPR, well another one is unrealistic birth scenes because they happen so often and they're all so different and GRACES BABY IS SPARKLY FUCKING CLEAN

• TK TELLING CARLOS TO BREATH!? I'm a mess I'm a fucking mess I'm literally watching through my fingers rn

• 😭😭😭

• Charlie 😥

• Holy shit nancy looks so hot in this slow mo walk scene

• Who the fuck is cole Robertson? Am I missing something?

• OMG YES THE BLANKET GUY

9-1-1 LONESTAR S3 EP6

Here we goooo (rewatching 9-1-1 as I post this to remind me of the good old days when this show was great).

Lonestar season 3 spoilers below!!!

• Pre-episode announcements, I'm a little late with this weeks episode because I have started watching the witcher and forgot other shows existed, also the description for this episode is not leaving me overly enthused

• Oh I love that they've brought back a couple that were on the show before

• 😂alien conspiracist owen is my fav

• He's gonna be a vegetarian isnt he. Oh he's vegan!😂😂 take the vegan kid hunting

• I kinda tuned out of judd and Owen's convo

• Awkward...👀

• 1-4-3🤧

• "9-1-1 what's your emergency" "hey babe its me"

• Now I'm kinda interested with the radiation

• Radiation necklace 😍

• No one puts Gracie on hold

• "When I make a tiktok out of these calls"😂

• Very glad there was finally talk about Charles

• There havent been any big rescues or calls in a while and it's starting to loose some of the feel of the show and turning more into an attempted comedy and I think they just need to clarify what kind of show it is. I would be fine if they wanted to make it more funny and less drama but just commit either way.

[ssa-baby-outlaw]

9-1-1: LONESTAR S2 EP12

I know no one cares, I do this for me, so dont complain, just don't read it

• My life has been pretty crazy the past couple weeks so I havent seen lonestar in ages and I gotta get to the end of season 2 before I see season 3 premiere spoilers

• Owen's on the ground again. Give that man a break

• Hmmm...are we sure it's not billy who's starting the fires?

• "Do you have any limes?"

• Oh owen is such a terrible liar I love it

• The criminal minds moment when they're describing the unsub and its them

• Oh I've missed judds cute face, but where is grace I miss her more

• GRACE! she coming out here speaking sense into all these silly boys

• I cant tell whether billy is trying to set owen up or whether he genuinely believes its him

• That awkward moment when your future father-in-law arrests your dad

• Nononooooo why are tk and carlos fighting please stop they're my babies

• Oh fuck you billy

• Sweater Paws TK™️

• I'm liking this raymond guy for calling out Carlos's dad

• "You broke my heart" 🥺judd needs a breaks, everyone in this show needs a break - apart from Carlos's dad

• Excuuuse me, am I supposed to believe that owen wouldn't have told anyone, especially tk or judd, that he was going to be arrested. Owen knows that it would be extremely stressful for tk and that could jeopardise his sobriety; and he should have told judd that he no longer suspected billy

• "I knew you had darkness in you too"

• Holy shit. That man just set himself on fire. For real just fully burnt up. Poof.

• Just got goosebumps when the firehouse exploded

• Tommy's husband is just the best

• This is the part when tarlos's house gets set on fire isnt it, its building up

• I have no words. That scene was immaculate.

• No! I know what's about to happen and I dont like it. Why do they have to kill off the nicest people
