‘The Rookie’ Teases Another Chenford Hookup in Season 7

Are Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) working their way back together on The Rookie? It certainly seems like it’s possible after their Valentine’s Day hookup and promo for the April 1 episode! As lieutenant, Grey does have to consider quite a bit about his officers, including how their personal lives might interfere with their professional ones. Swooon checked in with Richard T. Jones about how his character feels about that.

“I think Grey has mixed feelings,” he says with a laugh. “He loves both of them. He loves Lucy, he loves Tim. He knows that it is a bad idea for two officers to be together, but he also wants them to be happy. So I think he’s caught in that particular thing. As a friend, he embraces the fact that they want to be together, but as their boss, he understands the difficulties in doing that successfully and how it can impede with choices made on the field. It can impede with their attitudes pertaining to things altogether, just because work relationships are very hard at some point. So I think he is not pushing it, but he understands that if it happens, they got to be aware of what’s going on, which is a big thing for the April 1 episode, too.”
