The latest episode of 9-1-1, “You Don’t Know Me,” has left fans reeling with major reveals and shocking twists. Buck’s newfound identity has sent shockwaves throughout the 118 crew, and Eddie’s relationship with Marisol has hit a snag. In a recent interview, Ryan Guzman, who plays Eddie, dished on his character’s romantic arc, potential romances, and what’s ahead for his on-screen partner Buck.
Guzman reflected on Eddie’s journey this season, describing it as “great” and “new.” He attributed Eddie’s past romantic mishaps to his idealization of Shannon, leaving him unprepared to open up to others. However, with Buck’s coming-out, Eddie is forced to reevaluate his choices and confront his own feelings.
The actor also discussed Eddie’s bond with Buck, describing it as “strengthened” after the revelation. He praised the connection between the two characters, stating that it allows for deeper human exploration. Guzman hinted that the relationship will continue to evolve, but for now, Eddie needs to prioritize his own growth before considering romance.
When asked about the possibility of a Buck/Eddie romance, Guzman remained noncommittal, stating that the characters need to settle their own lives first. He emphasized the importance of staying true to the characters and exploring their humanity, rather than pandering to fan desires.

Guzman also shared his desire to share a scene with Tracie Thomas, who plays Karen, and praised Angela Bassett’s portrayal of Athena. He teased that the upcoming episode will feature lighthearted moments and chaotic situations, and hinted at a potential future episode where Christopher reacts to Eddie’s relationship with Marisol.
As the season progresses, fans can expect to see more depth and complexity in Eddie’s character. With his relationships in flux and his faith being reevaluated, Guzman’s portrayal of Eddie has become a highlight of the show. Will Eddie find love with Marisol or explore other romantic possibilities? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the truth has come out, and relationships will get complicated.
