Eddie’s 9-1-1 Season 8 Storyline Will Continue In Texas, Confirms Showrunner
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Rachel Foertsch, Minear was asked about whether Christopher was aware that Eddie is planning to leave Los Angeles for Texas. Minear, who co-created the procedural with Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck, added that audiences will see Eddie and Christopher in Texas, which means that Eddie will go through with the move after all. Read the quote below:
Tim Minear: If Eddie’s going to take the time to put a down payment down on a house near his parents’ house, yeah. Christopher knows Eddie’s coming. Christopher’s still living with Eddie’s parents.
Will we see the Christopher and Eddie storyline in Texas onscreen?
Tim Minear: Yes, you will.
What Eddie’s Move To Texas Means For 9-1-1
Buck’s Not Taking It Well
The bulk of 9-1-1‘s midseason premiere, “Sob Stories,” has Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) dealing with the fallout from a dangerous call, and the episode ends with Maddie getting abducted. Before then, though, the support that Buck showed Eddie in 9-1-1 season 8, episode 8 starts to falter big time. He tries to sabotage Eddie’s attempts at moving by preventing him from subletting his apartment.
Buck does come around though, eventually, and the two friends reconcile. Still, it’s obviously a little uneasy. It’s impressive for the series, which has often teased someone leaving the 118, to actually go through with it. Eddie will actually make it all the way to Texas to be with Christopher, though whether he stays there for long isn’t as clear. There’s reason to think that he won’t, but 9-1-1 wants to keep the intrigue alive. If Eddie does come back, the brief time he’s spent in Texas will only make his return all the more satisfying.
