Officer John Nolan and the LAPD have faced countless challenges in The Rookie Season 7, but according to Nathan Fillion, their troubles are far from over.
Monica Stevens: The Sharp-Witted and Ruthless Attorney
Describing Monica as “the terrible red-headed lawyer,” Fillion praised Regan, 43, for her sharp and relentless portrayal of the character. First introduced in season 5, Monica quickly established herself as a formidable force, representing high-profile criminals and often clashing with the LAPD. Her cutthroat legal tactics and personal vendetta against her ex-fiancé, Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore), have made her a dangerous presence in the show.
Monica’s manipulative nature has been central to several legal battles, and her return will likely intensify tensions among the officers. According to ABC’s official website, her role this season will be even more unpredictable, as she aligns herself with unexpected allies.
Oscar Hutchinson: The Deceptively Charming Criminal
Oscar Hutchinson, played by Matthew Glave, has been a recurring threat since season 1. Initially introduced as a fugitive who escaped from a prison transport bus, Oscar has repeatedly outmaneuvered the LAPD while manipulating situations to his advantage.
“Oscar seems affable and charming and hilarious,” Fillion said. “But don’t turn your back on him—he will literally stab it.”
Despite occasionally assisting law enforcement—like during a prison riot in season 2—Oscar’s motives have always been self-serving. As noted in a report by TVLine, Oscar’s return will likely involve yet another high-stakes game of deception, forcing the LAPD to stay one step ahead.
More Trouble Ahead for the LAPD
With both Monica and Oscar back in the picture, The Rookie is set for a thrilling and intense second half of the season. As Hulu continues to stream past episodes, fans are already speculating on how these two villains will shake things up.
Will the LAPD finally outsmart them, or will Monica and Oscar find new ways to cause chaos? Stay tuned to The Rookie to find out.
