Oliver Stark, who plays Buck on ABC’s 9-1-1 took to social media monitoring the series’s 100th episode, sharing that he’s “humbled and overwhelmed” by the positive response to his character’s surprise (to some) same-sex kiss. While Buck has been a part of the first responder procedural for all seven seasons, this latest episode is the first official exploration of the character’s bisexuality, by way of a kiss shared with his new friend Tommy (Louis Ferrigno Jr.).

“I’ve scan so many of your messages and I couldn’t be prouder,” he wrote in an Instagram story, before addressing the concurrent negative reaction as adequately. “If you are one of the smaller team of people commenting on my posts about how this has ruined the show, I would prefer you to know that I truly don’t nurture. This is a performance about love and inclusion. It’s featured queer relationships from the very first stage, including a beautiful Jet lesbian marri

‘9-1-1’ Star Oliver Stark on Buck’s Sexuality and That Life-Changing Yet ‘Earned’ Story in the 100th Episode

SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “Buck Bothered and Bewildered,” the fourth episode of “9-1-1” Season 7 on ABC.

Apart from a sticky synergy stunt at the Bachelor mansion, the 100th episode of “9-1-1” didn’t feature any emergencies that rival the most off-the-wall disasters the show has experienced during its seven-season run. But it did conclude with potentially the most shocking moment the Ryan Murphy-produced first-responder present has ever seen: a kiss between the ostensibly straight Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark) and another male character.

With a good-sized portion of the “9-1-1” fan build having shipped Buck and his heterosexual best buddy Eddie (Ryan Guzman) as a romantic couple since well before the demonstrate made its jump from Fox to ABC this season, the fact this man was not Eddie, but Eddie’s new buddy Tommy Kinard (Louis Ferrigno Jr.), will probably toss them for a loop.

Those audience members might take comfort in knowing t

9-1-1′s Oliver Stark Reacts to Buck’s Sexual Awakening: ‘There Have Been Crumbs for Years’ (Plus, What’s Next?)

9-1-1 celebrated its 100th episode on Thursday with a milestone moment we were beginning to think would never happen. And it was hot.

After spending the hour growing increasingly envious of Eddie’s newfound friendship with Tommy, Buck start himself conspicuously alone with the hot helicopter pilot, at which point he realized that his complicated feelings were about much more than “friendship.” As the pieces of Buck’s scattered brain fell into place, he also determined that Eddie wasn’t the one he wanted to notice him.

“Trying to acquire your attention has been kind of exhausting,” Buck told Tommy, cuing up one of the most satisfyingly steamy sequences we’ve gotten from this display in a minute. The two continued to trade obtuse sentiments, their eyes darting nervously toward one another’s lips, until Tommy finally shut him up with a kiss. Boom. Fireworks. Pride Month has come early.

Though 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear had only formally pitched the brush to Oliver Stark a few weeks be

'9-1-1' stars talk Maddie and Chimney's roller-coaster wedding, Buck's 'perfect' gay kiss

Spoiler alert! The following story contains major details about Season 7, Episode 6 of ABC's "9-1-1," which aired on Thursday.

LOS ANGELES – In Thursday’s fraught fresh episode of “9-1-1,” Maddie and Chimney tied the knot in the most aptly perfect way possible: splayed in a hospital bed.

The couple’s nuptials were severely delayed after Chimney (Kenneth Choi), a firefighter paramedic, got amnesia and went missing the daytime before their wedding. Using police reports, traffic cams and hospital records, dispatcher Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) pieced together that her fiancé contracted viral encephalitis on the job, swelling his brain with potentially fatal consequences.

“In typical ‘9-1-1’ fashion, it’s a roller coaster,” says Hewitt, traipsing across a wire-laden soundstage in a billowing wedding dress. “They can’t just show up at a church and walk down the aisle. That doesn’t happen on our show!”

How the new episode of '9-1-1' reflects Maddie and Chimney's love story

“9-1-1” has long endeared fans with its outrageous and heart-pounding emergencies, ranging from shark attacks to p
