The season’s closing installment tackles the query of who will lead the 118 as its new captain, although the hour ends with out an official announcement a method, regardless of teasing a couple of potential candidates.
Stark, who performs Evan Buckley, spoke with Precept Journal and revealed why he thinks that Buck wouldn’t wish to be the chief of the 118. Within the quote under, the actor talks about respecting Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) as potential successors. His quote is under:
“It’s a job that Buck most likely sees himself in the future hoping to do, however I don’t assume he would really feel snug wanting that place now. I feel he appears at Hen and Chimney and he’s like, ‘These are the those who I look as much as.’ They’re each bit lower from the identical fabric as Bobby was, and I feel he’d don’t have anything however admiration and respect for Chimney within the function.”
What This Means For 9-1-1 Season 8
Howard Han’s In The Highlight
The season 8 finale, which is directed by John J. Grey and written by Kristen Reidel & Molly Savard, incorporates a rousing speech by Howard “Chimney” Han. This appears to rally everybody, even convincing Eddie (Ryan Guzman) to surrender his plans of transferring to Texas within the span of some minutes. Hen, for her half, is so moved that she by chance slips up and refers to Howard as a captain as he is strolling away.
Heading into 9-1-1 season 9, it would not be too stunning to see Howard in a management function. It is one which he is crammed earlier than, to an extent. But it surely additionally says loads about which characters aren’t within the function. Hen says it might be tough to stability her new tasks. Buck, for his half, says he isn’t prepared. However that would change.

Though nothing is official, there are optimistic feedback from executives at ABC that season 9 will not be the final. With the brand new 9-1-1: Nashville on the best way, the long-running procedural has a little bit of time to determine itself out.

He could wish to be the principle chief now, and he might not be prepared for it. However in a couple of years, if Howard is able to take a step again, and if Henrietta nonetheless would not need it, or needs to take a distinct path, 9-1-1 might be teasing Captain Buckley in the long term.
