Oliver Stark has something to say. And it’s about the backlash to his character’s bisexuality on 9-1-1.
“I truly don’t care,” he declared on Instagram. This was his response to the minority voicing their displeasure.
In a recent episode, Stark’s character, Buck, discovers deeper feelings for his friend Tommy. It’s more than friendship.
Critics called the episode’s steamy scenes and the kiss that capped it off “satisfyingly steamy.” It was a moment of sexual awakening for Buck.
Ads and promotions clutter the page, but they can’t distract from the story’s heart.
“This is a show about love and inclusion,” Stark emphasized. He highlighted the series’ history of queer relationships.
He finds it odd that Buck’s bisexuality could be a deal-breaker for some. “You’ve missed the entire point,” he suggests.
Feedback on Buck’s journey has been overwhelmingly positive. Stark feels both humbled and overwhelmed by the support.
Buck and Tommy’s story is far from over. Their first date is coming up in the next episode.
Fans are eager for a sneak peek of what’s to come. Stark’s message is clear: love, inclusion, and acceptance are at the core of 9-1-1.
