For this reason, casting spoilers will now go into the created spoiler thread, as will articles pertaining to specific show details. General news will go in the existing media thread.

The former said that the latest year of The Rookie will feel like “a real transitional” one, with “a lot of movement” — noting that the show will continue to tell “some harder stories,” with familiar villains returning. Fillion noted that the upcoming season of the “mothership” series will see his rookie cop “elevated to another level of his job and starting at rock bottom again” — becoming the rookie once more, even as he rises in the ranks. He also shared that Nolan will be serving as a training officer to a “brand new” female rookie who makes “all the same mistakes” his character has. “[It’s] kind of brilliant, the way we take a look at life and say, what keeps you a rookie?” he said. “What in your life are you still a rookie at?” Hawley said that there will be a “fun storyline” ahead pertaining to the pregnancy of Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), who will continue to enjoy a Cagney & Lacey type dynamic with Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), as she returns to full-time work as a detective. Also enjoying an exciting upcoming storyline coming up, per Hawley, is attorney Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore), who winds up “crossing over from the defense side” into the arena of policing “in a more solid way.” A final plot tease from The Rookie on Hawley’s part had to do with the burgeoning romance between Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Tim Bradford (Eric Winter). “Obviously, we left quite the cliffhanger last season with the kiss which we’ve been building up to,” said The Rookie‘s creator. “There will definitely be some repercussions and fallout from that.” * * * Hawley said that multiple crossover events have been planned for the upcoming seasons of The Rookie and The Rookie: Feds, with Winter expressing the hope that ABC will ultimately be “lousy” with these kinds of episodes. “[The shows] do live in the same universe so we want you to feel like you can bounce between [them],” Hawley added. “They stand on their own but they’re super fun to watch together.” John Nolan will become a training officer in season 5 of The Rookie By Maureen Lee Lenker July 21, 202https://ew.com/events/comic-con/the-rookie-john-nolan-training-officer-comic-con-2022/ Quote Hawley danced his way around the No. 1 question on fans' minds: what's next for Chenford, a.k.a. Lucy (Melissa O'Neill) and Tim (Eric Winter) after that season 4 finale kiss? "Obviously, we left quite the cliffhanger at the end of last season with the kiss, which we've been building up to for four seasons," Hawley said. "There will definitely be repercussions and some fallout from that, but I do think it's fair to make you wait to see exactly where that goes. There's definitely going to be some carryover from the end of last season that's going to be very dynamic." Fillion elaborated on the actors' undeniable chemistry, saying, "You have one character who is so very tuned in in Lucy. And then in Tim, you have this guy who's so very walled off and closed off and so tuned out. I tease Eric about this all the time. All he has to do is a little tiny smile and everybody goes, 'Oh my god, swooooon.'" Terence Paul Winter revealed that the writers' room has been shipping this couple since season 1, originally using the clunkier ship name of "Tucy." Later, while teasing the first episode of the season, Hawley coyly noted the premiere could feature "maybe another kiss." Though that could be a misdirect, since the show is littered with couples, including Nolan and Bailey (Jenna Dewan), who Fillion promised will remain on very stable ground.

We see him start to talk to people and share what it’s been like for him. And at the same time, I think he’s trying to be the best coworker he can still be and find a way to, like I said, earn [Lucy’s] trust back.

And the writers listened.” Winter credits The Rookie creator, Alexi [Hawley], for listening to what the viewers wanted and crafting a “beautiful story” for Tim and Lucy in response. “It plays out and the ebbs and flows in the long burn,” he added. “So it’s hard to live up to their expectations because it is their baby in a way too. But we’re getting there and I think they’re going to love it. I think they’re going to love where we’re headed.” Edited October 15, 2024 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75866-whats-happening-the-spoilercastingplot-info-thread/#findComment-8481298

To promote the upcoming return, ABC has put together some of the show’s best blooper reels, and TV Insider can exclusively unveil the latest one. (The first one was on Nathan Fillion’s Instagram, and the next will be on Eric Winter’s.) Watch the cast getting musical behind the scenes in the full video above. * * * Season 6 left off with three well-known enemies, Monica (Bridget Regan), Oscar (Matthew Glave), and Jason (Steve Kazee), on the run—and therefore threats to our characters. A few weeks will have passed between seasons in-show for The Rookie when Season 7 premieres. That’s “time for Nolan’s [Nathan Fillion] injury to heal enough for him to come back to work — although whether he’s fully ready is part of the storytelling in Episode 1,” teases Hawley. “Our fugitives are still at large when we come back, and we won’t find resolution right away (although there will be some false alarms along the way).” The executive producer likens the premiere to “a bit of a purposeful re-pilot. We’re introducing two new rookies [played by Deric Augustine and Patrick Keleher] — which means our front row in roll call will now be full for the first time since Season 3. We definitely came into this season determined to keep moving forward, telling new stories, shaking things up where we could, while keeping the show as fun to watch as ever.” Also a mix of the old and new? What’s to come for exes Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil). “By the end of last season, Tim and Lucy had worked through a lot of the emotional damage Tim caused by blowing up their relationship. It was important to us to come into Season 7 with a sense of positivity, of them having gotten to a place where the old dynamics could start to kick back in — while they try and navigate whether there’s a way back to what they had,” previews Hawley.

tv echo Thursday at 02:11 PM Share Thursday at 02:11 PM (edited) The Rookie Boss Gives Updates on Chenford, the New Rookies, and Upcoming 'Fun' Episodes The ABC procedural is going back its roots Max Gao Jan. 15, 2025 https://www.tvguide.com/news/the-rookie-season-7/ Quote ... Heading into the seventh season of his hit ABC police procedural, creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley felt it was time to return to the roots of the show by recruiting two new rookies, returning to some hallmarks of earlier seasons (plain clothes day, rookie roundups, post-work food truck hangs), and re-establishing the rookie-training officer relationship that has remained the lifeblood of the franchise. "It was the first time since I think Season 2 or the beginning of Season 3 where we had three rookies in the front row of the roll call, and then the three training officers — with Lucy [Melissa O'Neil] joining Tim [Eric Winter] and Nolan [Nathan Fillion] — felt very much like a throwback to the origins of the show," Hawley told TV Guide ahead of the new season. * * * In the wake of their breakup last season, Chen and Bradford had to navigate some pretty awkward conversations, but losing the romantic side of their relationship seemed to allow you and the writers to return more fully to the playful, competitive banter at work this season. How would you describe the state of their relationship now, and how will that dynamic continue to evolve going forward? Alexi Hawley: Coming into this season, it was important to embrace the positivity of them again. We blew them up last season, but we also did a lot of work by the end of the season of trying to put them back together — even if it's not romantic, even if it's more just on a sort of personal level. He did a lot of the work to try and figure out why he did what he did and did understand that she's going to drive whatever this relationship is going to become. Because he's the one who ruined it, he doesn't get to put it back together; he has to be respectful of her in that conversation. But it did feel like coming into this season that we really wanted to lean into what the next chapter was going to be, and the fun of making her a training officer next to him, even temporarily, and the competition of who can train the better rookie — that's the best of Chenford, really. Look, the chemistry between them is undeniable, so that's always going to exist. And "Is there a romantic future down the road?" is something that we're definitely leaning into. What is it going to be? What work still has to be done? And what feelings really still exist? Obviously, he's still a sergeant and she is not, so he is her superior officer and therefore that's an obstacle as well. In the second episode, Lucy claims she's over the breakup, and even reiterates to some of her female colleagues that she and Tim always had friendly professional competition long before they were an item. At this stage, is she really over their breakup, or does part of her still think that Tim made a mistake in letting her go? Hawley: I think she's putting on a brave face. I think there are things that she might not even admit to herself, but I also think that she is putting herself first in a way that's important. At least what she's trying to do is go, "OK, well, a main reason I didn't make detective is because the five-player trade I tried to put together to get Tim into metro ultimately pissed off the people who had control over my future, and therefore I scored lower on the detectives exam because I got dinged for something I did that put Tim first," which she did because she loved him and all that kind of stuff. She doesn't regret that necessarily, but I do think that coming into this, given that he blew up their relationship, that she is feeling very much like, "My path is important to me. Getting ahead, putting together a career that I want, is a priority." * * * Tim has always been a bit of a hard-ass when it comes to being a training officer, but he definitely seems to be channeling a lot of that pent-up energy into becoming really strict with Miles this season. He even tells him, "Get your eyes off Officer Chen, Texas. You're not fit to breathe the same air." Why do you think that's the case? Is there some other personal reason for his attitude beyond just wanting to do a good job and whip this arrogant rookie into shape? Hawley: … How do I answer this? [Laughs.] I think there's always stuff under the surface. I do think on a less layered level, he does see in Miles someone who needs that [tough love], right? What was interesting is if you go back to the episode where he had that rookie Katie [Barnes, played by Katy O'Brian] that was former military, and there was a moment where Lucy was upset because she was like, "Why are you being so nice to her?" And Tim said, "She won't wear perfume because she's afraid of giving away her position. She hasn't left the war." Lucy needed somebody to kick her ass a bit to show her how competent she was, whereas this other rookie needed somebody to tell her that it was safe, that it was OK. So I do think that Tim reflects the rookies that he's training, and so when Miles shows up as this cowboy who thinks he knows everything, Tim needs to show him he doesn't know anything very quickly. I do think Miles does have growing up to do, as you'll see over the course of the season. There's stuff from his past — obviously, you saw Episode 2, so his backstory about how he was going to be in the NFL, he was going to be an All-Star, and then he threw it away by being an idiot, literally jumping off the roof at a house party and destroying his knee, and he didn't even do it on the field. So there's a big chip on Miles' shoulder, and it's not like Tim doesn't have a chip on his shoulder too, but I think Tim just wants to steer him in the right direction, and that's tough love. Wesley (Shawn Ashmore) learns from his mandated review of Blair London's therapy sessions that one of the other officers, Det. Graham (Ivan Hernandez), admitted to having sexy dreams about Angela (Alyssa Diaz). How will that revelation contribute to Wesley and Angela's marital conflict this season? Hawley: I love that relationship. I think it's really special. What Shawn and Alyssa bring to it is really nuanced, fun, and real. So, yeah, it felt like a fun opportunity to keep the corruption scandal alive, but to do it in a way that was unexpected. He thinks he's going to listen to a cop confess to something criminal — only to find out that the guy's got the hots for his wife and he can't tell anybody because legally this is all protected. There's that great moment at the end of [Episode 1] where he asks Lopez if she's happy in bed that night, but he still can't leave it alone. It still works at him like sand inside an oyster. I think ultimately, it takes a few other unexpected turns in a fun way. * * * In the second episode, Nyla (Mekia Cox) and James (Arjay Smith) reach a point in their marriage where they can no longer deny that their respective vocations come into regular conflict with each other. What does the future hold for them? Hawley: A primal part of our storytelling this season with them is this sense that they do deeply love each other and they are happy in their lives outside of this, but they can't keep having the same conversation over and over. So, what does that look like? And I think it will drive the story in really interesting ways. I'm not going to say the word "fun," but there's drama. Is there stuff that Harper can do inside the department that pushes that forward? Because it's not like she disagrees with him that there are issues, that there's injustice in the justice system, and that there are issues with policing. She does agree with him. The problem is that she also is a police officer who loves her job and is good at her job and does think that there's incredible value in policing, and so therefore, where do you go from there when you just keep having the same conversation over and over again? * * * Bailey is off on a deployment right now — Jenna was on maternity leave to start the season — but what can you preview about how she and Nolan will intersect with Bailey's ex Jason and Oscar (Matthew Glave) again later in the season? Hawley: It was important to us to have Jason out there as a sort of existential threat, and the fear and the paranoia that creates is very inherently dramatic. So I think that the impact that has both on Bailey and Nolan personally and also on their relationship is part of our storytelling this year. And then the fallout from what ends up happening is also powerful for us. It's easy in Season 7 of a show to just fall in love with your characters and just want everybody to be happy. You love them. "Oh, they're going to do fun things and all that," but it is really important not to round the edges off of this. And where can we find conflict? Don't forget: Bailey was still married to Jason when she and Nolan started dating, and she didn't tell him because there was a lot of deep-seated trauma from it, and that trauma's not gone, and some of it, she doesn't even realize that she's still carrying this season. So that was really interesting to dive into that — Jason ultimately reveals stuff to herself that she didn't even know. * * * Are there any specific episodes or storylines this season that you're most excited for fans to watch play out this season? Hawley: There's a lot. It feels obnoxious to say this, but it's a really strong season. [Laughs.] We have a lot of great episodes. We do a Valentine's episode, we do an April Fool's episode, which are super fun. We have some dark serial killer-type episodes, which are also really, again, I won't say fun because you called me on that word, but dynamic. And then we have a few really emotional episodes, which are very powerful. Will you be doing another undercover storyline this season? Hawley: No, not in the way that we've done before.

With Bailey’s psychotic ex-husband Jason Wyler out in the open, Nolan is growing more and more cautious. Since Jenna Dewan was on maternity leave when filming started for Season 7, Bailey is only just now appearing in Episode 3, and it’s going to be quite a homecoming. Hawley revealed that Nathan Fillion’s cop has been “very afraid of Jason and the impact he’ll have. He was hoping to catch him before she got back.” He continued, “But there’s a very fun storyline in 3 about him trying to basically bullet armor his house, the most insane security system that he’s installing, and all that kind of stuff. But ultimately realizing that you can really live in such fear that it’s destructive rather than constructive. So I think that that’s really useful. And then driving forward from there, there’s a lot of stressors from having Jason out there, her ex-husband.” * * * “We are gonna dig into some stuff that Jenna’s character, Bailey, actually has not fully processed from being in an abusive relationship with this guy, partly because he was not physically abusive, that she sort of characterized it differently in her head and never really sort of processed some things,” Hawley explained. “And so she is reactive to some stuff. There is some tension in the relationship because of some choices she makes. We wanted to really sort of honor the real effects that being in a toxic relationship can really have. And so we get the sort of plot, plotty, ‘Where is he coming first?’ The paranoia, ‘Is he around the corner?’ Plus, the sort of real-life repercussions.” Edited 13 hours ago by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75866-whats-happening-the-spoilercastingplot-info-thread/#findComment-8560083
