So thinking about Ryan’s interview and the way he low key implied Marisol isn’t going to be around for too long and how he’s also said Chris has more than 1 girl he’s interested in. There’s so much potential for the he is dating storyline to parallel the Eddie and Buck/ Marisol dynamic.

The idea that maybe one of the girls Chris is interested in is an existing good friend while the other is a new person who maybe doesn’t really fit in with Chris’s friendship group etc. And if Chris then goes for the girl he already knows well it could be a low key hint at the direction of things on the buddie front.

Because by the sounds of both Ryan and Oliver’s interviews they’re really going to double down on the Buckley-Diaz and especially the Buck/Eddie dynamic and that implies that there will be some aspect on playing with the idea that Marisol doesn’t fit into Eddie’s life - playing on the idea that the space and places she might fit are already filled and by Buck.

So everything I’ve read so far seems to point towards the next step towards buddie canon
