When The Rookie Season 6 ended, three villains had been free: Bailey’s (Jenna Dewan) abusive ex Jason (Steve Kazee), soiled lawyer Monica (Bridget Regan), and prisoner Oscar (Matthew Glave). Since then, Jason has been killed. However the different two are very a lot on the market and we’ve but to listen to a peep about them.
Nicely, that’s going to alter, as Nathan Fillion advised TV Insider throughout our Booked: The Rookie Aftershow for Season 7 Episode 10. “We’re going to revisit some villains that we’ve met previously. Bridget, who performs Monica so very effectively. God, I simply love hating that character. She’ll be again inflicting extra bother,” he shared.
“And naturally Matthew Glave who’s going to come back in and play Oscar; he’s been round since Season 2. He’ll allure you. He’ll entertain you. He appears so humorous and innocent, however don’t flip your again lest he stab you actually. He will probably be again,” he promised.
This all tracks with what government producer Alexi Hawley advised us forward of the Season 7 premiere: “Our fugitives are nonetheless at giant once we come again, and we gained’t discover decision immediately (though there will probably be some false alarms alongside the way in which).”
Jason kidnapped Bailey earlier than he was killed in Season 7 Episode 6. For Bailey, “I’d say there’s aid within the sense that the bodily menace of Jason is gone, and that’s somebody who has haunted her and been a torture and a torment in her life for years. So the bodily security feels totally different,” Dewan advised us. “Nonetheless, the psychological security just isn’t there in a single day. So I feel that there’s difficult emotions to that. I feel the way it went down is difficult for her to deal with, whether or not she is in the appropriate or within the mistaken, or nonetheless you wish to have a look at it, it’s difficult how something like that goes down. And I feel she feels difficult, however on the similar time, a number of aid as a result of he was a horrible affect in her life, a horrible particular person and had a number of management over her. So there may be some freedom and aid combined with ethical complexity.”
