Is ABC/Marvel Synergy Just Too Much at Times? Kathy Stabler Dissed Again? The Voice's Worst Bungle? More TV Qs!

10 | Seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 costar Nathan Fillion wearing this shirt in The Rookie‘s season finale, we have to ask: Has Disney corporate synergy reached a new level of sledgehammer-ness? (At least The Conners‘ Ben and Mark aren’t actually in the movie!) And when Bradford and Chen were approached by the mob of marauders, why didn’t they make like John Reese and try taking out a few kneecaps versus fruitlessly fire into their riot shields?

Could Nathan Fillion’s Superman: Legacy Movie Role Further Delay The Rookie Season 6?
BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH    JULY 11, 2023
https://tvline.com/casting-news/nathan-fillion-superman-legacy-cast-the-rookie-season-6-delay-1235011642/ 

Quote

Already, The Rookie had been pushed to a “midseason” premiere as opposed to its usual fall bow, in acknowledgment of the Writers Strike that began on May 2 and is showing no signs of ending soon.
*  *  *
Superman: Legacy is due to begin filming in January 2024. The Rookie, meanwhile, best case scenario — in a world where the WGA and AMPTP resume talks soon and somehow reach a deal by the end of July — might start up production on Season 6 in, say, early October. But again, that is a highly optimistic timetable, seeing as there have been zero negotiations on the WGA/AMPTP front since that strike began.

And that’s not factoring in any delays that might be result from a possible SAG-AFTRA strike, which could last beyond any WGA/AMPTP resolution.
*  *  *
There are a lot of variables at play at this early date, but TVLine reached out to ABC for comment nonetheless. UPDATE: The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley, meanwhile, has responded to our tweet with a simple, “Nope!”

Tonight, Aug. 27, 2023, 8pm EDT, on ABC:
"‘The Rookie’ and ‘The Rookie: Feds’ cast to compete on ‘Celebrity Family Feud’" (woodtv.com/abc4/on-tv/abc/the-rookie-and-the-rookie-feds-cast-to-compete-on-celebrity-family-feud).
No, Nathan Fillion will not participate, but 5 cast members from each show will.

The second half hour of the show will have a competition between the associates of actors Lauren Lapkus vs. June Diane Raphael.

Both competitions are on behalf of charities.

The Rookie Celebrates 100 Episodes — Watch One ‘Grateful’ Star’s Very Fun BTS Video
BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH   DECEMBER 7, 2023
https://tvline.com/news/the-rookie-100-episodes-cast-video-season-6-episode-2-1235095977/

ABC‘s The Rookie this week started production on its 100th episode, and original cast member Melissa O’Neil, bless her, was on hand with a Tiny Mic to chronicle the behind-the-scenes revelry.

The Rookie Season 6 will premiere Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024 at 9/8c, where it will now lead out of the sophomore drama Will Trent. The second episode of the new season, currently filming, marks the light procedural’s 100th overall, and to commemorate the milestone, ABC, lead producer eOne and ABC Signature gathered with the cast, crew and creative team for an on-set cake-cutting ceremony, held Wednesday.

I just need more about The Rookie! Any additional scoop ahead of Season 6?

Quote

There is a “SIX WEEKS LATER” time jump that comes at a pretty unexpected moment. Also, though groom-to-be Nolan pooh-poohs the idea of “The Curse of the Last Shift,” toward the end of the finale he has good reason to be a believer! 

 

Anything on Chenford from The Rookie?

Quote

In the Season 6 premiere airing Tuesday, Feb. 20, Lucy’s a bit on edge about taking the detective exam, so she asks to ride with one Tim Bradford, so that her onetime T.O. can give her a shift-long grilling like in their olden days. One encounter with a literal clown, though, might get her rethinking her logic.

THE ROOKIE at TCA: Live-Blog
February 10, 2024 by Marisa Roffman 
https://www.givememyremote.com/remote/2024/02/10/the-rookie-at-tca-live-blog/ 

Quote

With THE ROOKIE about to celebrate episode 100, the cast and showrunner are participating in a panel for the Television Critics Association.
*  *  *
3:23 PM: Cox says it was like art imitating life when her character gave birth at home—she did the same. (Less dramatic than Nyla’s experience, hopefully.) Hawley says it’s one of his favorite moments of the show.

3:25 PM: “More and more like John, if John’s knees are really starting to hurt him,” Fillion jokes. In all seriousness, the stunt coordinator has helped avoid Nolan end up on his knees in scenes; he also says he doesn’t run much anymore.

“I think the people like the show because of the characters, because of the relationships…the fact that we are a procedural…it’s just the form,” Fillion says.

3:28 PM: How do they balance the many characters? Hawley notes some episodes lean more towards other characters, but he hopes the actors don’t feel underserved. Cox praises them for making it feel well-rounded.
*  *  *
3:33 PM: “This show is lightning in a bottle…I feel very taken care of,” Dewan says of working while pregnant. Hawley jokes that every time they’ve thought about making a character pregnant, their real-life portrayer winds up pregnant.
*  *  *
3:39 PM: Winter says he loves this current season is putting Grey out in the field. He notes it’s hard to keep a show interesting this deep in, “but they continue to elevate every season.” He has learned a bunch about Tim this season.

Lopez and Tim end up in a ride or die situation season, Hawley teases. “Any time we put different actors in a car together, it’s a different dynamic.”
*  *  *
“He is a very rare leading man who is willing to fall down, who is willing to fail…who is willing to be human,” Hawley says. “There’s such humanity to Nathan whether he’s the captain of a starship or a mystery writer or the oldest rookie.”
*  *  *
3:49 PM: “I created this show in the shadow of Philando Castile’s death,” Hawley says. He wanted to create an aspirational show of seeing officers do things the right way. But after George Floyd’s death, he notes they had a responsibility to do more and be better—because they’re a patrol show, they had the ability to do more. They continue to tell stories about police reform: “We have now established there are consequences to police officers that do things the wrong way.”

The Rookie Boss Has a Message for #Chenford Fans After That [OMITTED WORD] in Season 6 Premiere
BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH   FEBRUARY 20, 2024 
https://tvline.com/interviews/the-rookie-lucy-tim-fight-breakup-season-6-premiere-1235170296/ 

Quote

That argument surely was a tough pill to swallow for fans of the workplace romance. So, what does The Rookie showrunner Alex Hawley have to say to calm the #Chenford faithful?

“What do I want to say to them? I want to say to them that it’s going to be a dynamic year,” Hawley told TVLine.

Alluding to next week’s 100th episode, Hawley noted, “There’s some stuff that they’re going to absolutely love,” including a titillating lie detector scene and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it visual that will launch 1,000 GIFs. “But we’re a drama and we want to play fair with them as always,” he continued, “as I feel like we have for the whole run, with regards to the obstacles that can be there.”
*  *  *
When will we meet the mastermind behind the criminal mastermind?

“The backstory of that is something we’ll be getting into towards the end of the season,” Hawley previewed. “Ultimately, that story is there to set up is Monica to a certain extent. Bridget Regan has got a big role this season, and this sets her up as the powerhouse wheeler-dealer that she is.”

The Rookie Star Talks ‘Adorable’ #Chenford Scene in Episode 100 — Plus, Scoop on Aaron’s ‘Misstep’
BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH   FEBRUARY 27, 2024
https://tvline.com/interviews/the-rookie-lucy-tim-lie-detector-scene-chenford-episode-100-1235170174/ 

Quote

Asked about the lie detector scene during The Rookie‘s recent TCA winter press tour panel, showrunner Alexi Hawley said, “We’re always looking to walk a fun line with ‘Chenford’ and their relationship, which obviously came into its own last season, and that seemed like a really fun way to get to the next stage, but also to throw a complication in there at the same time. I thought it was super fun to shoot.”
*  *  *
“He is still trying to come back from being shot at the end of the season,” showrunner Hawley told TVLine. “This is part of his journey and it’s a misstep, obviously.”

“The thing that we’re leading into is that the department shrink works for the LAPD, so he’s trying to navigate that line of ‘getting back on duty’ when sometimes that isn’t the same as [treating] mental health. Ultimately, we will navigate that with him.”

14 | Watching The Rookie’s 100th episode, did you spot the “100” that briefly illuminated in the opening logo? ? As much as we love Bridget Regan, with alllll the lowlifes in L.A., is it a stretch that Monica seems to represent most of them? Lastly, as several readers noted, why was Henry getting home for the wedding such a big deal if they never gave them a father/son scene?!

Castle Star Looks Back On Reuniting With Nathan Fillion On The Rookie
BY NICK BYTHROW     FEB 22, 2024
https://screenrant.com/the-rookie-nathan-fillion-tamala-jones-castle-reunion/ 

Quote

Speaking with Screen Rant on the red carpet for Ordinary Angels, [Tamala] Jones revealed what it was like to guest star in The Rookie after Castle and reunite with Fillion. She explained how different being on set was compared to their previous venture together, but praised her short time on the series. Check out what Jones had to say below:

That was so great. But I was a little shocked because when Nathan was Castle, he was full of pranks. I didn't get pranked at all on The Rookie; I was waiting on it, but it didn't happen. So I think he's matured since Castle, but it was so much fun reuniting with him and the producer, writer, Lexi [Alexi Hawley], she's amazing. So when they asked me to come back, I was like, "Heck yeah, I'm there."
*  *  *
Jones appeared as Yvonne Thorsen, Aaron's mother, in season 4, episode 11, "End Game," and season 4, episode 16, "Real Crime." She was part of the young rookie's storyline involving the murder of Patrick Hayes, for which her son was a suspect prior to his exoneration. Given that Aaron was critically injured in The Rookie season 5, it's possible Jones could make another appearance following her on-screen son's injury.

‘The Rookie’: Aaron Questions His Own Feelings for Celina in Sneak Peek (VIDEO)
Meredith Jacobs   March 5, 2024
https://www.tvinsider.com/1125154/the-rookie-thorsen-celina-kiss-therapist-romance-season-6/ 

Quote

Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss, and sometimes it means more… but maybe not in the way you think. The Rookie in the March 5 episode has to address that moment between Aaron Thorsen (Tru Valentino) and Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) at John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey Nune’s (Jenna Dewan) wedding, and TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek is all about that.

In the clip, Aaron tries to explain what happened to his therapist, Blair (Danielle Campbell). “Everything was all romantic— music, soft light—and I kind of kissed Celina,” he says. “Celina, who you work with? Celina, who saved your life when you were shot? That Celina?” she checks.

“Did I mention the light?” he stresses. “Because I really believe the mood lighting was 20 percent responsible.” When it comes to her reaction, he describes it as “not good. The look she gave me was somewhere between horrified and really horrified.”

However, when Blair tries to confirm that Celina doesn’t share his feelings, Thorsen reveals, “I’m not sure I share my feelings. We’ve been so close and she was the only person I could talk to.” Watch the full clip above for more from Thorsen and Blair on his feelings and what he needs to do to fix his relationship with Celina.
