Fans are going gaga about the return of Fire Chief Lucas Ripley (Brett Tucker) in 'Station 19'. Of course. Even we are really excited to see the onscreen camaraderie of Ripley and Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe). Many think that their friendship makes the show complete, again, even if it is not for real and only through hallucinations. What's more, even Vic and Ripley are 'back'.

"Preach! Their friendship was something that drew me in and also kept me wanting to watch #station19 ...without Ripley and Sullivan’s friendship, the show would not have been complete. We not only lost #Vicley but seeing the bond that these two share grow," one wrote and another posted, "Vic and Ripley together again in this scene is bringing me joy, even if it is a drug-induced haze."

Adding an emotional twist in his tweet, one fan wrote, "The fact that Sullivan hallucinates Ripley when he’s high and he’s the voice of reason just goes to show Ripley should never have been taken from him, Vic or us!!!!!!" Another said, "I'm not glad that Sullivan is tripping but I'm happy to see Ripley and Vic."

So, it's both happy and sad for people. A lot of viewers tweeted how they miss Ripley's character. "Happy to see Ripley. Hated that they killed off his character," one wrote and another said, "Never should have been killed off in the first place. So many bad showrunner decisions."

Moreover, many still wish to see Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss) back with Ripley. "I did not see that one coming. I wish Vic saw him too. We miss Ripley," one tweet read and another said, "I can't get over this Ripley surprise. I miss him so much. I miss his face. His talks. Him and Sully...and most of all him and Vic."

Another fan posted, "I'm so emotional because I didn't expect that. I gave up on ever seeing Vic and Ripley again."

The last episode of 'Station 19' brought Ripley back to the show. Sullivan had an overdose and saw hallucinations of a conversation with his best friend — who has been dead for a long time now.

Even as we won't have Ripley back on the show, it is interesting to see where Sullivan will go.

The next episode of 'Station 19' will air on ABC at 8 pm ET.
