‘9-1-1’ star Ryan Guzman opened up to Us exclusively about his character Eddie Diaz’s biggest season 7 moments
What started out as a peaceful season 7 for 9-1-1’s Eddie Diaz quickly turned into a spiral of shame, heartbreak and goodbyes. Now, series star Ryan Guzman is exclusively breaking down his character’s biggest moments, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.
“That was definitely a tough scene. a little late, and you're never sure how much you can give,” he told Us Weekly. “I remember going to my director and being like, ‘I don't know if we got it, man. Maybe we should do it again. Should we try it again?’ He was like, ‘Don't worry, just go home and sleep, sleep easy.’”
Guzman pointed out that Eddie enlisting Buck to help has “worked so many times in the past” when it comes to getting through to Chris. “I believe there's an offer of comfort to Eddie knowing that even though Shannon isn't there, he has somebody else in his life that he can kind of pass the reins to and say, ‘Hey, I need another perspective. Please help my son out,’” he said. “And Buck always shows up.
Guzman pointed to the “idle hand” cold-open scene — where Eddie gets punched in his lower region by a man’s out-of-control hand — as some of the moments he enjoyed most. “Those comedic scenes are something I really love,” he added. “And I hope that we have a little bit more of those next season.”Fans were let down when the show’s 100th episode teased a karaoke moment between Eddie and Buck during Chimney’s bachelor party that was ultimately cut for time.
“You know, everybody's kinda left the party. Eddie's like, ‘I’m down bro, let's do this,’” he recalled of Eddie choosing to stay behind with Buck and party despite the rest of the 118 heading home. “He's just going with the flow. And I remember just grabbing everything that looked like alcohol to show that Eddie is just letting loose. He's gonna go crazy, and I want him to have the worst hangover tomorrow.
“If Eddie were to see an image or even a semblance of somebody that looked like Shannon, he would just be dumbfounded and , ‘How can I make this second turn into a minute and this minute turn into an hour?’” he explained. “And that's where I played the whole time.
Although Guzman admitted he was afraid he wouldn’t do the scene “justice,” he was grateful to have such an “incredible” scene partner in Kelley. “So I was handed the book actually, on the scene where I'm coming into the hospital and I'm asking Hen and Chim what's happened with Bobby. I was handed that book within the middle of that scene and I was like, ‘Oh, that's incredible, yes, for sure. We should definitely do that.’ And I started playing with it at that point in time. But they had another idea and I think it was coming from Tim, that I should be reading the book to him. And I go, oh, ‘That's incredible.
