Oliver Stark Reacts to Fan Reaction to Same-Sex Kiss Scene in '9-1-1'

In the latest episode of 9-1-1, we witnessed a landmark moment - a same-sex kiss between Oliver Stark's Buck and Tommy, played by Lou Ferrigno Jr. The scene is not only a highlight of the series. This scene was not only a major turning point in the series, but also a response to longtime fan expectations. It was a moment that not only thrilled and touched fans, but also generated a lot of discussion and reflection.

Oliver Stark responded to the fan reaction in his Instagram story, saying he was humbled and overwhelmed by the positive feedback Barker's storyline has received. He said, "I'm incredibly proud of your support." Stark's words were filled with an emphasis on love and acceptance, reminding viewers that 9-1-1 has always been a show about love and accepting differences.

This plot development was a long-awaited moment for many fans. Ever since Eddie Diaz, played by Ryan Guzman, joined the fire department in season two, fans have been anticipating a deeper exploration of Buck's sexuality. As time went on and the show hinted more and more at Buck's sexuality, fans became more and more excited about the character's development.

This kissing scene between Buck and Tommy is not only a response to fans' long-standing expectations, but also a re-emphasis on the consistent theme of 9-1-1 - love knows no boundaries and inclusion is power. Stark's support of the episode and his gratitude to the fans shows how much the actor recognizes and respects the character and the message of the episode.

As 9-1-1 continues to unfold its new story, this landmark moment will be seen as a major step forward in the show's exploration of diverse sexual orientations and the promotion of inclusivity. As Stark said, for those viewers who chose to leave the show because of the addition of the cooler characters, their departure needs no announcement. 9-1-1 will continue to be a story of love, courage and inclusion that offers strength and inspiration for all.

The new episodes will premiere on ABC on Thursday nights at 8:00 PM EST, so let's look forward to more exciting and heartfelt stories that 9-1-1 will bring to us.
