Chenford Wedding Would Be "Natural Progression": Eric Winter
While there's a whole lot that fans of The Rookie love about the series, the growing and evolving relationship between Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) and Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil), aka "Chenford," might be near the top of that list. But now that Lucy and Tim are living together, could "Chenford" be hearing wedding bells in the future? "Oh, wow," Winter replied when asked the question during his interview with Deadline Hollywood, in support of his Palm Republic Rum.
"Tim and Lucy are definitely still building in a positive way," he continued. "They've overcome a ton and I think what we're going to see throughout the season is how they continue to navigate this work-life balance. I would say they're getting to a really good place in their relationship, there's some positive movement in a direction that I think they're seeing each other, obviously they moved in with each other. So what I can say is that they're in a really positive place."
A positive place that could lead to a trip down the aisle? "I feel like that would be a natural progression for them," Winter said. "I think Tim has learned from his mistakes. He's in it for the long haul, and wants to build a future, and sees that future. Will he get the courage to do it is one thing, and to dive back in with somebody at work to that level and take it to the next step, I think, is something he'll wrestle with. But I think he's excited to consider that for sure."
John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), once the oldest rookie in the LAPD, now uses his life experience, determination and sense of humor to keep up with rookies 20+ years his junior. John and the team must navigate the intense, unpredictable nature of their jobs and personal challenges, while uplifting the next generation of first responders.
The series stars Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey, Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford, Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune, Shawn Ashmore as Wesley Evers, Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez, and Deric Augustine as Miles Penn.
Alexi Hawley is the creator and executive producer. Mark Gordon, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman, Bill Norcross, Brynn Malone, Moira Kirland, Bill Roe, and Jon Steinberg are executive producers on the series.
