A controversial character makes his return at Mid-Wilshire as Season 7 nears its finale
Everyone’s favorite pathological liar is back at Mid-Wilshire in this week’s episode of “The Rookie.” Seth (Patrick Keleher) was ousted from the team earlier in Season 7 after Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) caught her rookie in a series of lies, including his cancer diagnosis. When Seth refused to take a blood test, the BOOT got the boot for refusing to follow orders. But now, the schemer has finagled his way back into the station and we’ve got an exclusive clip previewing Seth’s unwelcome return.
Why would he want to go back somewhere he’s so clearly not wanted and what makes that determination run so deep? “It’s just something that, from a very young age, he felt like he needed to. He needed it,” Keleher told TheWrap.
“He’s very insecure. I think the external helping people really is an internal reflection on him needing to help himself,” the actor said. “By him lying, he’s causing so much harm to himself, so by helping other people, I think that he thinks is a direct result to help him figure things out.”
