In episode 10 of season 5 of “911”, broadcast this evening on M6, Eddie announces to his colleagues his resignation from barracks 118 for the good of his son. But does this unexpected twist mean Ryan Guzman is really leaving the show?
After Michael left last week due to the backstage dismissal of comedian Rockmond Dunbar, have 9-1-1 fans just witnessed the farewell of a star character from the series?
Faced with Christopher’s anguish, worried about seeing his father perish one day in the line of duty, Eddie (Ryan Guzman) has indeed made an unexpected announcement to Buck (Oliver Stark) and his fellow firefighters in episode 10 of season 5, broadcast this evening on M6: he leaves barracks 118 and is about to make a career change for the good of his son.
But does this mean that Ryan Guzman will, in turn, leave 9-1-1, in which he has been playing since season 2?
The answer is no. Eddie will continue to appear in the series, but his role will be different since he will join the ranks of the 911 emergency call center as a communications officer, responsible in particular for alerts on social networks intended for residents of Los Angeles.
A new position that Eddie will have a hard time getting used to, despite his desire to offer Christopher a more serene life, as French viewers of 9-1-1 will be able to discover next week on M6.
