As folks keeping up with The Rookie <\/em>are well aware, Tim and Lucy have reached the point where they officially live together. And while they continue to figure out how to strike the correct balance of work and their personal lives, Eric loves seeing them navigate it all together.<\/p>\n\u201cTim has been there to make Lucy the best version of herself in the department, and she’s been there to make Tim the best version of himself outside of the department,\u201d he added about Chenford\u2019s dynamic. \u201cThey\u2019ve been on this journey of growth, and they really are helping each other with their flaws and failures.\u201d<\/p>\n\nAnd as for why he thinks Chenford is endgame, Eric\u2019s answer was simple.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think fans have really been able to relate to Tim and Lucy\u2019s story,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThey are seemingly opposites\u2014does this mean they really belong with each other? I think they do, and they help each other. And nobody expected it to be as impactful as it is, and will continue to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll definitely consider that when we tune into the next episode of The Rookie<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
