I just had SUDDEN VISION of how they could introduce Eddie having feelings for Buck!!

pls picture we are at the Madney wedding. they are stood at the altar, Maddie’s wedding party is Buck as best man then maybe people from dispatch like May and Josh, Chim’s wedding party is Hen as maid of honour and Eddie and Bobby as groomsmen. Maddie and Chim are exchanging vows. the camera pans over Buck, May and Josh, they’re all smiling at Madney, Buck is probably crying lol. the camera then pans over Hen and Bobby who are also smiling at Madney, but when it gets to Eddie, he is staring, smiling, but a little bit past the happy couple. cut to Buck still smiling at Maddie, unaware. cut back to Eddie still staring at Buck, but then he glances away to the crowd where we see Natalia. cut back to Eddie, where he glances over at Buck one more time and then drops his gaze, maybe looking a little defeated, shaking himself out of slightly, etc.

they don’t have to do anything over the top, they don’t have to get Eddie to say out loud etc. but it would be very clear to even casual viewers that Eddie feels something towards Buck but is holding back because Buck is still with Natalia

ALTERNATIVELY!! this whole vibe and camera direction/editing but it’s after the ceremony, when they’re all dancing. the cuts are between Eddie sat alone at a table staring wistfully out at the dancefloor… and Buck dancing happily with Natalia…

I LOVE the idea of madney's wedding including something, and while I personally don't think Natalia will last enough to be in the wedding unless the wedding ends up being the 100th epísode, I like where you're going, like, legit OBSESSED with the idea of Eddie looking all upset while watching Buck at the wedding, even more considering Eddie's reaction to the ring and his whole loneliness thing at the end of the season there. But the thing is, unless they make Eddie say it, they can take it back. There is no explanation for the way Eddie was acting during the poker games that's not "I'm in love with this man", anyone can see this, someone who only watched mixed feelings would believe Buck and Eddie are a thing or are on the way to being a thing, but then they introduced Natalia and Eddie is dating other people and the casual viewer switches back to "oh, it was just a fluke" and Eddie has been doing the whole just watching Buck for a WHILE, I can argue shit all the way back to stuck but season 6 makes things really painfully obvious, so just the looks are not cutting it anymore, someone needs to say the words. It doesn't even have to be Eddie, or it doesn't even have to be like "I like him", "I love him", "I'm in love with him," "it's just a crush" or whatever, someone coming up to him while he's watching Buck and going "you're staring" and him going like "I can't stop" while looking all defeated. At this point, the looks can't just be looks anymore, they need words because it's getting ridiculous. But I'm absolutely crazy about situations unfolding like this, Eddie watching Buck during the whole wedding while Buck is with Natalia, and then at the end there, he talks to someone about it. But we deserve words oskaoskaoskasa
