THE ROOKIE celebrates its 100th episode on Tuesday, February 26 as Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey (Jenna Dewan) tie the knot. And, off-screen, it’s milestone fewer shows are reaching—due to shorter season orders, truncated runs, and an ever-changing industry.
“Honestly, I’ve been working in this industry for 25 years, and I’ve never been on a show that’s been 100 episodes,” Shawn Ashmore, who plays Wesley, tells Give Me My Remote. “So it’s amazing.”
“To be on a show that is successful enough to last that long is an amazing gift, but then also to be on a show that you want to continue to do and make more episodes?” he continues. “I know that you hear that a lot: Oh, this show is great and everyone has a fun time. But it’s a pleasure to go to work every day. And the fact that the show is successful, as well, is pretty special. So, for me, it’s a dream come true.”
“I’ve been in the industry for maybe three years, and I’ve never worked on a show that has 100 episodes, either,” Tru Valentino, who plays Aaron, deadpans.
