The Rookie's Lisseth Chavez & Melissa O'Neil Go Deep on Chenford for Season 7

The Rookie is officially back, and with it comes new episodes, new characters, and a return to the Mid-Wilshire Division. Somehow, despite a chaotic Season 6 that led to the escape of several criminals, one of the most controversial things to happen in the previous season remains the breakup of Chenford — also known as, Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) and Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil). With the new season of The Rookie taking off, it seems that although Bradford and Chen aren't dating, their rapport is still alive and well. Meanwhile, Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) spends the season making it through her rookie training, and as of Season 7, she is the most senior rookie of the bunch and ready to graduate and move on. Not only has she flourished under John Nolan's (Nathan FIllion) mentorship, but she is now also Lucy's new roommate since Tamara (Dylan Conrique) moved out.

We spoke with Melissa O'Neil and Lisseth Chavez about The Rookie and what they were the most proud of looking back at the growth of their characters after so many seasons — especially with O'Neil having been on the show since the very beginning. Looking forward, Chavez discussed Celina's aspirations to be a detective, while O'Neil wants to diversify Chen's skillset. The two actors also detailed what they want to see in future episodes for their characters.
