9-1-1 Season 8 ended with Buck between homes, so we’re happy to confirm that Oliver Stark’s character will have a roof over his head this fall. “He’s got a cool little house, he’s really moving up in the world,” Stark tells TVLine, adding that his new place will have “a lot more character than his last apartment, which was more minimalist and toned down.” And while the 118 will soldier on in the wake of Bobby’s death, Stark warns that grief “can resurface and start dragging people down at any moment.”

The three-part premiere moves the show “in a direction that we haven’t necessarily gone before,” he says, the events of which “push a lot of other aspects of the characters’ lives onto the back burner.” Does that mean Buck won’t have time for love? “I don’t know if he’s in a good place for it,” Stark admits. “I don’t know that it’s necessary in his life right now, but if something happens to come along, that’s great.”

Fortunately, with Eddie back in L.A., we can at least look forward to classic Buck-Eddie-Christopher bonding moments. “Those are two very important relationships, so to speak, and I know for sure that there will be some of that coming up as we move forward,” Stark says. One thing not coming up, however, is a crossover between 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville. Despite his recent trip to Music City, Stark confirms that no crossover has been shot…yet.

BONUS SPOILER!: Though Buck will forego a costume this Halloween, the rest of the 118 will not disappoint. “There is maybe my favorite costume that we’ve ever had on the show,” Stark teases.
