Quote: Edmundo Diaz and Evan Buckley (+ My thoughts on Eddie's life)

Eddie: Clive and Toni were definitely a thing. And I mean like, big time, long-lost-love kind of thing. My abuela would eat this up. She loves a good telenovela.

Buck: Oh, 'cause, uh, 'cause you don't? Come on, I know you watch 'em with Christopher.

Eddie: That's how we practice our Spanish.

Buck: Uh-huh.

~ Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley, 9-1-1 season 5 episode 9: Past is Prologue

So, Eddie claims he only watches telenovelas so him and his son Christopher can pratice their Spanish. Sure Eddie, you love watching those dramas just as much as your grandmother. What I found interesting is that in 9-1-1's seventh season his life indavertently turned into a telenovela.

Let's see, from moving too fast in his new relationship with his girlfriend Marisol by asking her to move in. To him being spooked after finding out she used to be a Nun which ended up leading to him later asking her to move out. To Eddie going wild with Buck during their friend Howard "Chimney" Han's bachelor party. To him meeting Kim who is a lookalike of his dead wife Shannon which made him want to spend more time with her despite him still being in a relationship with Marisol. The whole Kim situation would eventually lead to Marisol and Chris seeing him with Kim. And to make matters worse, Kim (who is a former actress) had decided to dress up or cosplay as Shannon in a strange and weird way to give Eddie closure over Shannon. However, this all lead to the dramatic conclusion of his relationship with Marisol ending and his son Christopher leaving with his grandparents to go back to El Paso, TX.

So, Eddie's life is currently a mess. Hopefully in the upcoming eighth season, after he gets his life back in order, perhaps next time, maybe he should stick to only watching telenovelas instead of turning his life into one.
