9-1-1 // Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Worried husbands and their (maybe too) nonchalant partners

Eddie could have had an arc of him navigating his divorce, struggling financially to do so, and potentially losing custody of Chris. I feel like his journey could have been a lot more linear this way. They really didn’t let him grieve her for more than an episode which is insane work and an example of how so many of his storylines are under explored in canon.

Keeping Shannon in the show, even if she wasn’t in the main cast would have also added another complex female character to the cast that is very much male dominated. Of Eddie’s love interests, she was the most developed and I would have like to see more of her on her own accord and not through Eddie’s perspective.

Much like Jess in new girl telling nick, Buck goes “Eddie, you’re gay. You’re gay. Be gay.”

And Eddie is just like ??? “Does she not know you’re bi?”

And Buck just looks at him because that is not the point– the point is he likes this girl and wants her to like Eddie, too. But she thinks he’s gay, so…

“Okay, fine! Fine. I’m gay,” Eddie relents, munching on some baked good that Buck has made him.

Better, if Buck is making dinner and the girl is taking to Eddie. Unlike in new girl, she doesn’t question whether or not Eddie is gay. Instead, she notices things around the home that scream “Buck and Eddie are a couple” and so she outright asks Eddie about it.

“So, like, you’re into him, right?” She asks, and Eddie just fucking blinks.
