Alexi Hawley on whether Lucy and Tim could get back together in The Rookie Season 8

In a recent conversation with Screen Rant, the showrunner of “The Rookie,” Alexi Hawley, discussed the Season 7 finale and offered insights into the dynamic between characters Tim and Lucy regarding their relationship.

When asked about the potential romance between Lucy and Tim in The Rookie Season 8, given the hints at a rekindled relationship in the Season 7 finale, showrunner Alexi Hawley shared that the storyline is moving in a positive direction for fans of the couple nicknamed “Chenford”. This season has focused on exploring the consequences of Tim’s actions, the pain he caused to himself and others, including Lucy, and attempting to understand why he did what he did. The narrative also delves into Lucy’s struggle to forgive him.

Additionally, Hawley clarified why they ended their reconciliation on a suspenseful note in the finale and stated, “In essence, the final episode leaves you with a sense of where it’s headed. I believe viewers will feel quite optimistic about it. Of course, Tim has laid the groundwork. Lucy and Tim have yet to discuss it further. One point that our series has consistently shown is that they may not always excel at open communication, but we’ve reached a turning point.
