It’s been a protracted look forward to The Rookie Season 7, however the ABC procedural will lastly be returning with new episodes amid the 2025 TV schedule in January. Issues might be trying a bit totally different, although. On high of Tru Valentino exiting as Aaron Thorsen, there may also be some newbies becoming a member of the solid, together with some new rookies. Mid-Wilshire may also be getting a brand new detective, who will function an “impediment” for Shawn Ashmore’s legal professional Wesley Evers, and I’ve a idea in regards to the “enjoyable” method that’ll occur.
Who Is The Rookie’s Latest Character?
Based on TVLine, Ivan Hernandez has been solid as Detective Graham and can seem on a number of episodes. Hernandez’s credit embrace Devious Maids and Claws in addition to Broadway exhibits Pricey Evan Hansen and Chicago. Most lately, the veteran actor appeared on the Intercourse and the Metropolis sequel collection, And Simply Like That…, which might be streamed with a Max subscription. So, for sure, he is been across the block a bit acting-wise.
Not an excessive amount of has been revealed in regards to the By no means Have I Ever star’s detective character. Nonetheless, showrunner Alexi Hawley informed the outlet throughout a current Q&A that Graham turns into “a private impediment for Wesley – however in a enjoyable method.” Wesley has definitely been by means of lots, particularly with Elijah and Monica, and one would suppose that he would lastly catch a break. However, I am already fascinated with what this might imply for
What May Occur With Wesley And Detective Graham?
Since Detective Graham might be working at Mid-Wilshire, there’s a fairly good probability he might be working alongside Alyssa Diaz’s Detective Angela Lopez, who’s married to Wesley. Maybe Graham and Angela develop a brother/sister-type relationship that makes Wesley slightly jealous. Ought to that be the case, it may manifest in some really humorous methods, as Wesley makes an attempt to cope with any slight insecurities.
That form of subplot could possibly be very entertaining although, in fact, it is attainable that the writers will take a distinct method. As a substitute of a “jealous lover” arc, this might have one thing to do with Wesley’s job, and Graham is making it troublesome for him for quite a few causes. Nonetheless, if that seems to be the case, I am undecided how skilled issues could possibly be spun as being “enjoyable.”
In regard to the previous idea, followers of The Rookie certainly know that Angela and Wesley have a comparatively sturdy relationship and share two children. So it’s very probably that the writers wouldn’t need to do something to hurt “Wopez,” particularly for the reason that couple is so cherished by followers. However, the inventive staff has shocked followers earlier than, so they may do the identical right here. No matter what occurs, although, Alexi Hawley’s assertion that this might be “enjoyable” makes me optimistic that Graham’s presence will not trigger dire ramifications for Wesley in any method.
The Rookie is returning to previous habits for Season 7, which makes me fairly excited.. Fortunately, followers gained’t have to attend an excessive amount of longer to see what Detective Graham is all about. The brand new season will premiere on Tuesday, January 7 on ABC. Additionally, earlier than you see how Graham shakes up Wesley’s world, use a Hulu subscription to make amends for previous episodes and witness the Season 6 finale’s cliffhangers.
