Oliver Stark sends fans wild in latest 9-1-1 episode as ABC announces Season 10

Oliver Stark left fans hot under the collar after getting sweaty with co-star Ryan Guzman in the latest episode of 9-1-1, just as the firefighter drama announced a 10th season.

Season 9, Episode 12, titled “Dads and Cads”, aired last night, featuring Stark’s character Evan “Buck” Buckley and Guzman’s Edmundo “Eddie” Diaz, seen side by side dripping wet.

The two firemen are portrayed as very close best friends and partners at Station 118, but after Buck came out as bisexual in Season 7, fans have long shipped the pair.

“Those damn writers have the hottest couple on TV in their hands” – one fan shipped Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman in 9-1-1

One user commented: “Those damn writers have the hottest couple on TV in their hands and keep forcing this bullshit ‘just friends’ between Buddie. Disgusting.”

Another user wrote: “God’s work,” whilst another gushed over Stark’s physique: “Need Oliver bad.”

Stark’s and Guzman’s characters go to compete at the Firefighter Games in Nashville, a competition where firefighters from different stations face off in various challenges.
