Who Is Celina on 'the Rookie'? What We Know so Far (Distractify)

'The Rookie' Season 5 kicks off with a new character, Celina, played by actress Lisseth Chavez. Who is Celina, and what is her purpose? Here's what we know.

While it's typical for new characters on television shows to begin in guest roles, fans think it's odd that if Nolan's path for the entire season is to be a training officer, his mentee would only be around in a few episodes. They do live in the same universe, and so, we really want you to feel like you can balance between the shows," Noah added. Others are concerned because of actress Lisseth Chavez's previous history in a recurring role on the show Chicago P.D., where her character disappeared after one season with no further explanation. "We were designing the show with crossovers between the new show and 'The Rookie' proper. Previously, during Season 4 of the show, Nolan made it clear he wanted to become a training officer. Actress Lisseth Chavez (DC's Legends of Tomorrow) has joined the cast as [Celina Juarez](https://the-rookie.fandom.com/wiki/Season_5), a new character.

The Rookie season 5 premiere: Is Mekia Cox pregnant in real life? (Hidden Remote)

By the time season 4 came to a close, Cox's character was still expecting her second child — her first with boyfriend James Murray (Arjay Smith) — and that ...

So while Cox was indeed pregnant while filming The Rookie season 4, she has since given birth to her daughter meaning it is only her character who is pregnant at the time. However, Harper’s pregnancy was the result of Cox’s real-life pregnancy last season on The Rookie! In the season 5 premiere, Harper is still very much pregnant and supposed to be taking it easy as she awaits the arrival of her bundle of joy to arrive. Happy to be on a show where pregnancy is acknowledged and celebrated,” Instead, the baby bump Harper sports at the top of season 5 is a prosthetic. As I recover I remember what you felt like on the inside while we waited (…and waited) for your arrival.

Why The Rookie Season 5 Premiere Crushed NCIS Season 20's ... (CBR)

The Rookie Season 5 and NCIS Season 20 both have cliffhangers to resolve - and the ABC procedural dominates the CBS one by leaving fans wanting more.

The Season 5 premiere "Double Down" picked up those plotlines and added its own for an outstanding debut -- in sharp contrast to the way NCIS Season 20 resolved its cliffhanger. All of the suspense around her loyalty was a ruse. There were two major plots in the episode, one of which was carried over from Season 4. The episode dropped some major Chenford hints, gave Officer Nolan a surrogate trainee and made Harper and Angela permanent partners.

Meet The Rookie season 5 cast: who's who guide (What's On TV)

Nathan Fillion as John Nolan · Eric Winter as Tim Bradford · Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez · Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen · Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey · Mekia Cox as ...

She came to The Rookie as Nyla Harper, a hard-nosed and extremely capable law enforcement officer. She survived being abducted by a dangerous criminal, and worked her way to overcoming the emotional trauma of the experience. With a golden ticket earned from her years working undercover against cartels, she had her pick of assignments but chose patrol in order to become a more present mother. In season five, viewers expect more of this fire and tenacity as she partners with Detective Nyla Harper, helping her balance the job and new motherhood. Melissa O’Neil is the first Canadian to have won American Idol and she appeared in the TV drama Dark Matter. This was on display in his advocacy for the former 40-year-old rookie, in how he grieved the death of Officer West, the lengths he went to rescue both Officer Chen and Detective Lopez when they were abducted and his soft touch in helping Officer Harper acknowledge her limitations during pregnancy. In season five, viewers hope to see more of this Sergeant Grey as his department seeks to protect and serve Los Angeles. The rich stories fueling the onscreen members of the LAPD have caused fans to fall in love with the series and develop a great amount of adoration for the actors playing the officers. In The Rookie, Melissa portrays Lucy Chen, the bubbly and eager-to-learn young officer. Eric Winter is no stranger to acting, having held roles in TV dramas The Mentalist and Witches of East End. She portrays Detective Angela Lopez, bringing a lot of fire to the role. As with most shows, it owes a large part of its success to the characters.
