The Rookie Season 4 Episode 1 Full Cast

The Rookie: Season 4, Episode 1 - Who Showed Up (and Who We Missed!)

Okay, let's dive into The Rookie Season 4 premiere! It was a rollercoaster, right? But let's be real, who even remembers the plot when we're busy spotting familiar faces?

We all knew Nathan Fillion (aka John Nolan) would be back. Come on, he is The Rookie! Without him, it's just...a cop show. A pretty decent one, sure, but not The Rookie.

And thankfully, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez was there too. Pregnancy and all, she's still a total badass. Did anyone else gasp at her near-miss delivery? I needed smelling salts.

Must Read

The Usual Suspects

Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey? Present and accounted for! He's basically the dad of the whole LAPD crew. Though sometimes, I wish he'd crack a smile. Just once!

Of course, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford graced our screens. Tough love is his love language, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Anyone else secretly hoping for a Chenford confession soon?

And let's not forget Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen. She's the sunshine in this often-dark world. Plus, her undercover work is seriously impressive. She's come a long way from Season 1!

Hello Again!

Harper (Mekia Cox) was back, thank goodness. She's the grounded voice of reason. We always need a bit of that in the chaotic world of The Rookie.

Nolan's girlfriend, Bailey (Jenna Dewan) was definitely present. Is it just me, or is her character... a little too perfect? Unpopular opinion: I miss Grace!

Where Were They?

Okay, here's where things get a little...murky. I missed some of the supporting cast. Was it just me? Anyone else?

Did anyone spot Smitty (Brent Huff) lurking around? That guy is a legend, even if he mostly just stands around awkwardly. His presence is always appreciated. I think.

And what about Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore)? Considering Angela's situation, I expected him to be glued to her side! Maybe he was just off camera, being a supportive husband.

The Guest Stars

A whole host of guest stars popped up. Mostly playing criminals, let's be honest. It wouldn't be The Rookie without some bad guys!

The episode revolved around La Fiera (Camila Guiribello), adding to the drama. She's a formidable foe, for sure. I kind of hate her, which means she's doing a good job!
