The countdown to the thrilling return of '9-1-1' may still stretch for months, yet an unexpected crisis has surfaced—one that's etched on Eddie's visage. Social media has erupted with behind-the-scenes glimpses, showcasing Ryan Guzman's character sporting a full-fledged pornstache in Season 8, as shared by the cast members over the weekend.
Kenneth Choi's Instagram has become the epicenter of this mustache mania, featuring a hilarious clip where Peter Krause gingerly caresses Guzman's facial foliage, accompanied by the cheeky caption, "Careful… he bites." If you think fans aren't reveling in Eddie's new avatar, you haven't met this fervent fandom. One fan dubbed him "Eddie Mercury," while another predicted the 118's reactions to the mustache would be comedic gold.
So, what's the story behind this dramatic transformation? The truth remains shrouded until '9-1-1' roars back on September 26th (8/7c), but it's not far-fetched to surmise that it's intricately tied to Eddie's life upheavals. Recall his emotional entanglement with a Shannon doppelganger, inadvertently wounding his son Christopher, who fled to Texas in a fit of anger.
"I'm certain the first episode of Season 8 won't see Eddie and Christopher reunited," Guzman hinted to TVLine in May. "I hope Eddie gets some solo time, allowing him to rebuild, perhaps redefine himself, and discover fresh hues in life." Little did we anticipate 'fresh hues' to manifest quite so literally. Yet, here stands Eddie, mustache and all.
Now, let's delve into it: Are you digging Eddie's 'stache, or does he need to shave off the drama pronto? Cast your vote below and share your Season 8 aspirations for '9-1-1' in the comments.
