“I firmly believe that verbally and mentally she absolutely means what she says. But I don’t even think she buys it,” O’Neil told Us Weekly on Tuesday.
While Lucy and Tim clearly have unfinished business, O’Neil thinks Lucy would need “a very real conversation and accountability” from Tim before she’d consider getting back together for real.
“She’s not just gonna slide into something if nothing has changed, especially because he’s the one that said that he can’t do this,” she explained to Us Weekly.
Winter, meanwhile, shared some insight into Tim’s perspective during an interview with TVInsider last month.
“They never broke up because they stopped loving each other. They broke up because Tim didn’t feel he was good enough for her,” he explained before teasing their hotel room hookup.
“Tim and Lucy find themselves in a very tricky situation … a moment,“ he said. ”You put two people in a compromising, weird position, and feelings come out.”
“The Rookie” airs on ABC on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST and is available to stream on Hulu the next day.
