Imo, so far, Buck's character is the most developed. The show invested a lot in showing us this character growth, so we feel that we now know him so much better, just like he knows himself that much better. That is why it took him as long as it did to let go of Abby.... It was important to show that this change is permanent. I do like him and I am curious to see where they take his character next and how he will react to Maddie's ex and story, when it is fully revealed.

For me it's just the nature of these shows... Although I understand this show hasn't shown any indication of actually killing off a main character, if they have a 5 season plot plan (which is what I read) and giving the nature of them having VERY dangerous jobs, it'll be incredibly strange of no one of importance to lose their lives in the 5 seasons, even though it is not a realistic show... also, they will be bringing in new characters each season, so at some point, not everyone can stay. I've been thinking that they could kill Abby, which would be a good way to give closure to the character & bring in some drama (but if they were ever to do that, I don't think it'll be till later)

Those that truly hate JLH have stopped watching the show (they have lost some viewers, as most shows do in its second season, tho rating is really good still) I don't think she has all that many haters, just like she is not overly loved. She is okay on this show, but not a great actress... The 2nd part of this season will give her a lot to play with, so we'll see how she delivers. This show really is cheesy and on the nose... but it's fun (tho this season has been much darker and less campier than 1st season)

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember Ryan said he wanted this show to be a kind of escape from the shit show this country (world) has become and give some relief to the audience, so I guess killing off any loved main character would not make sense, unless they have changed their minds OR any of the actors choose to leave (which I don't see happening. It's a great gig for all actors involved and watched WW). I also wouldn't mind them killing JLH but agree, she will NEVER go out willingly. Since I am one of those who LOVE Abby (her story reminds me of my aunt, who took care of my grandma when she was dying of alzheimer's and lost an amazing relationship with a man she was with for 5 years, not bc he was bad or she was bad, but bc for 3 years her life was consumed by her mother's disease, sadness, guilt ... It was hard to watch, but there was no way she was sending her mom to a home.... I guess that was just so familiar, I recognized Abby) so I for one would love for Connie to come back for a short arc and yes, I also thought they could kill her and have closure to her character ... It'll also bring some drama with it :)

I am waiting for a death of a supporting or even main character by the end of this season or mid 3rd season ... It should and probably will happen, seeing as who the showrunners are... Who else would you think it could be, besides Eddie's wife?

I absolutely LOVED Abby (and Connie) and her relationship with Buck, but I really think once Connie was cast (I heard there was another actress who left?) and they knew she was only doing 1 full season, they wrote Abby so she was there to give Buck his arc, and by her leaving him heartbroken and having him finally move on and be changed by her, the arc is completed. To bring her back now would make no sense, plot wise. She is clearly not interested in continuing a romantic relationship with him or even working as a first responder in LA anymore, so she is out of that world. I could see her coming back for some closure later (no sooner than end of 3rd season), but it can't be directly connected to Buck.... I wouldn't mind that at all. I do feel that people judge Abby wrong and not really understanding that the character was supposed to be awkward and needy, bc of the circumstances she was in, but also connected with Buck in away that was special ... but it was never going to be end game for either one of them. That was clear from the start. I am not a fan of JLH or the Ex Abuser story line, but i'll wait and see how they play it out. Overall 911 is a good show.... a little too on the nose sometimes and the acting could be better (let's be honest... tho Aisha is pretty amazing!!!) ... and I do love the music too Also, I have a feeling they will kill off one of the main characters by end of 3rd season... anyone else with me on this or just me?
