Though they “bumped heads” initially, Tim Minear, the show’s co-creator and showrunner, made it clear to Start that the tension between the two won’t be for very long. And true enough, the two characters soon move past that negative dynamic and become really good friends.
The relationship between Buck and Eddie or “Buddie” to their avid fans— has been a favorite among viewers. According to Stark, the reason why they are so popular among fans is because of their fun and lively vibes, as well as their deep understanding of one another.
