The Love Triangle That Almost Changed 9-1-1 Forever (And Why It Should Stay Dead)

A love triangle between Buck, Abby, and Bobby might have taken the characters on 9-1-1 in a completely different direction, but it's easy to forget how much the cast has changed over the course of eight seasons. With the exception of Buck, the majority of relationship problems in 9-1-1 season 8 have resulted from external events that significantly affected pre-existing and generally stable unions. For example, Bobby's passing in 9-1-1 affected not only Athena but also almost every other person on the 118.
Buck remembers how strongly he opposed that choice of story. As early as the first season, one specific relationship would have been upended very differently, according to Buck's actor Oliver Stark. Although love triangles are nothing new for Ryan Murphy's television series, there was a plot point in the first season of 9-1-1 where Bobby would have pursued Abby while she was already with Buck.
