As the excitement builds for the return of 9-1-1 with the second half of its eighth season, fans are buzzing with anticipation. But while we wait, let’s indulge in a bit of fun speculation: Who among the beloved members of the 118 and their friends would be the life of the party at a gay bar? Here’s our ranking of these characters, from least to most fun, with a glimpse into what a night out with each might involve.
Although Christopher is just a child and wouldn’t be allowed into a bar, we couldn’t bear to leave him out entirely. He’d likely be the pride of his high school’s Gay Straight Alliance, but alas, the bouncer wouldn’t let him past the door. Christopher, keep practicing that dance for when you’re older!
Athena knows how to throw a great party at home, but at a bar, her determined police persona might keep everyone on their toes. Although she’s a loyal friend, breaking the rules in front of her might land you in a bit of hot water. Proceed with caution!
Josh is a competent dispatcher and floor manager, but a cocktail or two might unleash a side of him nobody wants to see. Known for his work-driven life, he’d probably spend the night venting about his frustrations, which could become tiresome. Josh, it’s time to let loose and enjoy!
With Eddie, expect the unexpected. On one hand, his dance skills and suave looks could make him the star of the night. On the other, he might become a liability, panicking or vanishing without a word. Be prepared for a rollercoaster of a night if Eddie’s around!
Hen has lived through many a wild night, but these days her priorities are elsewhere. Juggling lifesaving and family duties leaves her eager for rest. You’ll find her at the bar for a couple of drinks before she quietly disappears, opting for reality TV and a cozy night in.
Buck is always up for a good time. He’d dive headfirst into the party, keeping the energy high and the drinks flowing. But don’t expect to spend the whole night with him, as he might dash off or be sidetracked by adventures with Eddie. Buck’s about the thrill, not the long haul.
Maddie could go either way on a night out. Her charisma and flair for karaoke could make her the belle of the ball, but too many drinks might see her turning emotional, leaving you to manage the aftermath. Maddie’s unpredictability keeps things interesting!
In her prime, May would bring vibrancy and enthusiasm to a night out. She’s the kind of person who makes friends easily, but might leave you trailing behind as she mingles with cooler crowds. Catch up on the highlights later, but don’t be surprised if she moves on quickly.
Bobby, ever the supportive ally, would be the caring dad friend of the group. Even without a drink in hand, he’d ensure everyone has a good time, offering sage advice when needed and keeping the party safe. He’s the rock of the group, ensuring everyone gets home safely.
Chimney brings a wealth of experience and a treasure trove of stories to the table. Having attended many queer events, his allyship is sincere and appreciated. He’d keep things lively and entertaining, making sure the night stays full of fun and free from monotony.
Ravi’s charm and humor would light up the night. With his stunning looks and outgoing nature, he’d leave with a few numbers and maybe even a new friend or two. Just be wary of his sales pitch on his rental properties!
Sue, though not frequently seen, exudes an aura of fun and sophistication. With a Tom Collins in hand, she’d charm everyone around with her tales from the dispatch center, embodying the role of a nurturing figure everyone gravitated towards.
Karen, the ultimate entertainer, tops our list. Her energetic and charismatic presence would electrify any room. Whether mixing drinks or singing captivating duets, she’d be unforgettable. Her night would be a whirlwind of joy, capped by her dedication to her firefighter spouse.
The new season of 9-1-1 returns soon, offering more drama and excitement. Meanwhile, let us know who you’d party with and keep it kind in the comments!
