ABC is creating synergy between their primetime shows, with "9-1-1" and "The Bachelor" coming together for a crossover episode.

Oliver Stark, who plays Buck, had recently teased that two shows on the network were about to cross paths.



“It’s not a direct crossover, but there’s a feel of it,” Stark told People in a recent interview.

“There’s a really fun emergency, and it’s not necessarily the biggest in terms of spectacle, but in the fifth episode of the season, there’s one that kind of touches base with another ABC show. I’m really excited for that just because I think it will be a good watch.”



The outlet then received a photo of the 118 ambulance parked outside the mansion seen on "The Bachelor", "The Bachelorette", and "The Golden Bachelor".

It’s unclear what storyline will connect the scripted series and the dating competition.

“She’s a huge Bachelor fan, just like Maddie is on the show,” Minear tells The Wrap. “She called me after hanging out with some of the Bachelor people and she’s like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if the 118 had to respond to an emergency at the Bachelor mansion?’ I was like, ‘No brainer.’” Love Hewitt was in attendance of The Golden Bachelor's live finale in December.
