Different anon to “Buck must be the worst friend” anon
It doesn’t seem like Hen & Chim ever talked about the others (before Bobby) much, just Gerrard which makes sense to me
They were still working with Tommy, Sal, & the others after Gerrard was kicked out of the 118
After Bobby but before Buck they didn’t seem like friends but they were on friendly terms, enough to get drinks with him then/ask for favors later
I’m by no means downplaying Tommy’s / the other’s behavior but Hen & Chim during Bobby Begins engage with them normally
They worked with them for years after Gerrard’s departure and were fine doing so, even if they never forgot/forgave (we haven’t canonly seen if they have or hadn’t but would be totally justified for not forgiving any of them)
Why would they bring them up to Buck or Eddie or Ravi or any other new firefighter or even Bobby? At least by name? They were Gerrard’s lackeys and then they weren’t and then they were people they had to work with after it all
After a certain point, at least from my personal experience, you stop caring enough about certain people to name them.
Gerrard never got better while they worked for him, it makes sense that he’d still cause rage and pain and sorrow leading them to talk about their time under him
But Tommy, Sal, and any others would probably be referred as the other firefighters, the others, Gerrard’s favs, Gerrard’s lackeys the others under Gerrard, etc, probably anything but their names, you know?
Honestly, after they stopped being Gerrard’s boys, and especially after they stopped working with them directly I think Hen and Chim would generally stop caring about them enough to bring them up as individuals
Sorry for going on- I’m not great at condensing my thoughts but I genuinely don’t think they would have talked about any of the others to Buck or anyone else in such a way that Buck or anyone else would know what they were like
Don’t apologize!! I agree with a lot of this. Also, I think if they HAD talked about it, the show would’ve made that clear. 🤷♀️
