In the American procedural 9-1-1 series, for example, Buck and Eddie are friends. Their friendship is close indeed. Deep as that connection may be, and the closeness of their lives ought to lead people to think of alternate fan theories like ` Buddie '' says it all. At least those were the words of fan Anjelica Henderson in her article \"Behind A Gaysian Poster: How I Became A 9-1-1 Fan. According to one fan, the term ` Buddie '' was born in the 9-1-1 television series. One might also say it was redefined in the series. The correct nature of their friendship, however, is still up in the air. To date, the creators of 9-1-1 have not come forward with the end to those theories. At least as far as we know, throughout 2018's episodes it remains unclear whether there is indeed a 'Buddie' romance. But for gay men, the portrayal of their friendship flies in the face of what has previously been done (that is to say, Brokeback style). It is a refreshing respite.
