Eric Winter has been part of The Rookie since day one. However, he was missing from two recent events with cast members Deric Augustine, Alyssa Diaz, Nathan Fillion, Shawn Ashmore, Melissa O’Neil, Lisseth Chavez, and Mekia Cox and Richard T. Jones (who was not at DWTS): last weekend’s New York Comic Con and yesterday’s Dancing with the Stars. Therefore, fans like me are wondering if he is still part of the show.
I checked his Instagram, and he has not posted a photo from the set in four weeks. Then, on October 12th, he shared a post with behind-the-scenes photos from the season premiere and wrote, “How it started ——> how it ended. You don’t want to miss our Rookie season premiere Jan 6th!! Big shout out to our incredible make up dept for making this happen…”
In those photos, it looks like he has been kidnapped and tortured. So you have to wonder if that will be the last we see of Tim.
With most of the aging shows cutting cast members, it could make sense if they killed off one of the cops. But I can think of a lot of other characters they could cut first, like Jenna Dewan.
Do you think I am reading too much into the absence? Would you miss him if he was gone? I mean, how could they give Chenford a happy ending and then take it away like that? I don’t think the fans would be happy to see the cast go to his funeral instead of their wedding…
To see Winter’s post, then
