Curious if Eddie is really leaving 9-1-1 in Season 8? Eddie Diaz makes a life-changing decision to move to Texas to be closer to his son, Christopher. Meanwhile, Buck struggles with the idea of losing his best friend, leading to emotional confrontations and unexpected moments.
Let’s dive into Eddie’s departure, Buck’s reaction, and whether this move marks the end of Eddie’s time with the 118.
Why Ryan Guzman’s Eddie is likely leaving 9-1-1 for now
It appears that Ryan Guzman’s character, Eddie Diaz, is leaving 9-1-1, at least for now.
In Season 8 Episode 9, titled “Sob Stories”, Eddie takes clear steps toward moving to Texas to be closer to his son, Christopher. He secures a house and begins searching for renters for his Los Angeles apartment. Eventually, he reveals his decision to his colleagues after Buck unintentionally forces him to confront it.
The episode places significant focus on Buck’s reaction to Eddie’s departure, highlighting the emotional weight of his choice. When Buck overhears Eddie telling a potential tenant that he has no real ties to Los Angeles, it deeply affects him.
Buck tests their bond by sabotaging Eddie’s rental efforts, leading to a heartfelt conversation where Eddie reaffirms that Christopher is his priority. As the episode ends, Eddie’s team supports his decision and solidifies his exit from the 118.
Could Eddie return on 9-1-1 in the future?
There is no definitive answer regarding Eddie’s return to 9-1-1, but the possibility remains open.
Ryan Guzman remains uncertain about Eddie’s future on the show, admitting he doesn’t know how long Eddie will stay in Texas or what comes next. His conversation with 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear suggests possible future plans, but the show has not confirmed anything yet.
Eddie’s deep bond with Buck and the rest of the 118 leaves room for a return. Guzman emphasized that, despite Eddie’s choice, his connection to his firehouse family remains strong. The show has a history of bringing back key characters, so his exit may not be permanent. For now, he is focused on being with Christopher.
