There doesn't seem to be much danger of ABC's Rookie Blue being cancelled any time soon. The show is produced in Canada and the fifth season has 22 episodes (instead of the usual 13). However, they're being split into two parts -- half will air this summer while the rest will run at a later date. This kind of move often spells the end for a series. Will there be a sixth season? Stay tuned.

Andy's got a lot on her plate on this week's Rookie Blue.
Andy (Missy Peregrym) might be conflicted between Sam (Ben Bass) and Nick (Peter Mooney), but on Thursday's episode she'll make a bold move towards one of the two. But she's also got more important things to worry about, such as whether or not her rookie Duncan (Matt Murray) has what it takes to succeed on the job. When she and Duncan find themselves alone— and in a life-and-death moment -- with a 12-year-old witness to a gang leader's death, Andy may regret giving her rookie so many chances.

A bunch of Dallas Cowboys players had to be restrained at a Tna Wrestling event Sunday night when one of the wrestlers spit beer at 'em ... and all hell broke loose ... in a scripted, wrestling sorta way. It all went down at Tna Wrestling Slammiversary Xii -- where bad guy "The Cowboy" James Storm went over to a bunch of Cowboys players in the stands (including starting defensive end George Selvie) and fired a mouthful of beer at the guys.

Now, picking up where we left off ...
Season 4 of "Rookie Blue" wrapped up Thursday (Sept. 12) with "You Can See the Stars," the two-part season finale's conclusion handled by two of the series' executive producers and behind-the-scenes reliables, writer (and showrunner) Tassie Cameron and director David Wellington.
With their typical expertise bountifully evident, it's a very safe bet that any fan who was there to the final scene now feels Season 5 can't come soon enough.
The show really did pick up at the end of the previous chapter, with alleged pedophile Kevin Ford (Michael Cram) again knocking out his handcuffed captive: Officer Oliver Shaw (Matt Gordon), who was in the trunk of his police car, parked in a remote area.
Sam (Ben Bass) interrogated his girlfriend -- and Ford's stalker -- Marlo (Rachael Ancheril) about the last time she saw Ford, while Nick (Peter Mooney) tried to radio Oliver. Unbeknownst to him,...

Before he could talk about any of the details, "Rookie Blue" co-star Gregory Smith said the episode he directed this season was "big."
He wasn't kidding.
"Under Fire," Thursday's (Sept. 5) intense chapter of the ABC police drama, was the first half of the show's Season 4 finale -- and though it seems a cliche to say it put most of the regular characters in the line of fire, it truly did. And no one knew that more in the opening moments than Andy and Chloe (Missy Peregrym, Priscilla Faia).
The hour began on a light note with the gang playing trivia at The Black Penny, and Chloe won. Things started veering toward the serious as Gail (Charlotte Sullivan) found Holly (Aliyah O'Brien) waiting there to meet someone else, while at home, Andy told Nick (Peter Mooney) of her ongoing guilt over having doctored Marlo's (Rachael Ancheril) police memo book at Sam's (Ben Bass) urging.

Heading into the home stretch of its fourth season, "Rookie Blue" is letting some of its cops play very close to the edge.
Marlo (Rachael Ancheril) is a prime example, especially as of Thursday's (Aug. 29) episode of the ABC police drama, "Deception." The hour opened by showing her parked across the street from the home of Kevin Ford (guest star Michael Cram), the alleged pedophile who was a suspect when Chris' (Travis Milne) supposed son disappeared in the episode "What I Lost" two weeks ago.
Marlo clearly hadn't given up pursuing him, and he caught her peering into his house -- and claiming "harassment," he said he intended to call her bosses. "Your career's over!," he shouted after her.
Elsewhere, Andy (Missy Peregrym) roused a sleeping Nick (Peter Mooney) after a night spent together. "Whatever this is," he told her of their new relationship, "I don't totally hate it." She concurred,...

Rachael Ancheril surely has stirred the pot since joining "Rookie Blue" this year.
And with three weeks left in the ABC police drama's fourth season, she's not done yet. Thursday's (Aug. 29) new episode sees her character, Officer Marlo Cruz, cross a very big line: She continues her self-assigned surveillance of the alleged pedophile (guest star Michael Cram) suspected, but eventually cleared, in the recent disappearance of Officer Chris Diaz's (Travis Milne) supposed son.
When the man is found assaulted in his home, circumstances implicate Marlo, whose bipolar condition also leads others to ponder whether she was involved in the attack. It's rich material for a series co-star, particularly a relatively new one, and Toronto native Ancheril appreciates the opportunity.
"The bipolar aspect was really a very big thing for me in prepping for the character," she tells Zap2it. "I've always thought that with Marlo, her job is the No.

Sometimes, handling one thing yields something bigger.
Such was Oliver's (Matt Gordon) fortune in mediating a neighborhood domestic dispute in the opening moments of Thursday's (Aug. 22) ABC "Rookie Blue" episode, "You Are Here." After apparently resolving the discord -- which the husband admitted could have been because he "forgot our anniversary" (whoops!) -- Oliver noticed an odd, "super-skunky" smell.
He and partner du jour Gail (Charlotte Sullivan) then uncovered a "grow-op," or as Sam (Ben Bass) put it, a house "swimming in illegal marijuana plants." And a smart-alecky young suspect named Chuck (Doug Smith) was taken into custody and turned over to Chloe (Priscilla Faia), alias -- at least for this story -- "the booking fairy."
Meanwhile, Andy (Missy Peregrym) told Nick (Peter Mooney) her concerns about feeling "sneaky" about their secretive new romance. When he offered to tell his ex Gail about it, Andy insisted on being the one...

If a character is going to return to a show, he may as well do it in a big way.
So it was for Chris (Travis Milne) in "What I Lost," Thursday's (Aug. 15) episode of ABC's "Rookie Blue." His visit to Toronto with his family initially revealed an even-more-fun side of Andy and Nick (Missy Peregrym, Peter Mooney), who played with Chris' young son Christian at a park playground, but things turned very serious very fast.
As the former undercover partners started to have a conversation about whether to embark on a personal relationship, they were distracted by a woman's cry for help after her companion collapsed. Nick and Andy ran to the rescue -- and when Andy returned, Christian was gone.
Oliver (Matt Gordon) began to lead the investigation, but Andy didn't deal well with suddenly being cast in the role of victim. And upon his arrival at the scene,...

Rarely do things run smoothly for the "Rookie Blue" cops -- even their own nuptials.
Noelle (Melanie Nicholls-King) and Frank's (Lyriq Bent) wedding wasn't exactly like clockwork in Thursday's (Aug. 8) episode of the ABC drama, "For Better, For Worse." Even with the ceremony taking place that evening, much remained in flux, prompting Andy (Missy Peregrym) to try to take the organizational lead.
Meanwhile, claiming she was getting "lying hives," Chloe (Priscilla Faia) begged Dov (Gregory Smith) to tell Frank -- her godfather and their boss -- about their off-duty relationship. It wouldn't be an easy day for Chloe in another way; she was partnered with angry-as-usual Gail (Charlotte Sullivan), whom Chloe had informed about the crush that Gail's now-ex-boyfriend Nick (Peter Mooney) had on Andy.
Andy and Nick also were partners for the day, with Andy starting it by crooning along to Extreme's "More Than Words" -- the tune she...

It certainly looked like a scene out of a horror movie, "Psycho" very specifically ... but it was just the start of Thursday's (Aug. 1) "Rookie Blue."
Aptly subtitled "Friday the 13th," the date within the latest episode of the ABC police drama, the hour opened with Chloe (Priscilla Faia) scared out of her wits by Dov (Gregory Smith) as she exited a police shower, though he simply wanted to make amends for suspecting her of being bipolar.

Aptly subtitled "Friday the 13th," the date within the latest episode of the ABC police drama, the hour opened with Chloe (Priscilla Faia) scared out of her wits by Dov (Gregory Smith) as she exited a police shower, though he simply wanted to make amends for suspecting her of being bipolar. "I can't keep up with you," she wailed about his ever-shifting feelings toward her.

"We knew this was coming. Diaz is gone, and he isn't coming back."
Such was Sgt. Frank Best's (Lyriq Bent) greeting as he informed the other rookies of Chris' (Travis Milne) departure at the start of "Skeletons," Thursday''s (July 25) episode of ABC's "Rookie Blue." As they registered their surprise -- particularly Dov (Gregory Smith), who had done his best to change Chris' mind -- Best added, "People come, people go, so you might as well get used to it."
Indeed: ABC's press information already confirms Diaz will be a big part of the Aug. 15 episode. Meanwhile, another familiar face returned to 15 Division as Detective Luke Callaghan's (Eric Johnson) reappeared to help direct a kidnapping investigation, one with huge reverberations for the cops.

Just when you don't want to know someone any better, you end up quarantined together.
Such is the luck of Officer Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), who found herself forcibly isolated with her ex-love Sam Swarek's (Ben Bass) current girlfriend -- Officer Marlo Cruz (Rachael Ancheril) -- in Thursday's (July 18) ABC "Rookie Blue" episode "Poison Pill."
Uncomfortably partnered for the day and following a lead on a drug dealer, the women suddenly found themselves covered in heroin tainted with anthrax ... and stuck in the art gallery where they had collared the dealer, after he up-ended a table that sent the powder flying all over the two cops. 'Just another day at the office," as Swarek wryly summed it up.
In the course of being treated with antibiotics, McNally and alleged "ice queen" Cruz had plenty of time to hash things out. The initially confrontational tone changed, though, once Cruz confessed she...

Zap2it: With "Rookie Blue" now in Season 4, how do you find the fan base that the show has accumulated?
Ben Bass: It's awesome. The fans are really, really committed and dedicated, and they roll with the punches in terms of things like wanting Sam and Andy to be together.
That's not the case at the moment, and it's kind of excruciating for them, but the fans are really fun to interact with. They're smart and funny, and it's been a real pleasure. And it's augmented the experience of doing the show for me. It's great when people are really invested.

ABC gave its Toronto-set cop drama an early renewal today, shrugging off the show’s season-low numbers from last week. Instead, the network pointed out that Rookie Blue is the summer’s No. 1 show in total viewers for its 10Pm Thursday slot, resulting in its most-watched season since 2010. Produced in the Great White North by Icf Films and Entertainment One, the series stars Missy Peregrym and Gregory Smith as cops who still feel like rookies despite their four years on the job. Charlotte Sullivan, Enuka Okuma, Travis Milne, Peter Mooney, Ben Bass, Priscilla Faia and Rachael Ancheril co-star. Production on Season 5 will begin in January for a summer 2014 premiere.

The fans of 15 Division have spoken, and have been heard, again.
The ABC summer police drama "Rookie Blue" typically has earned the next year's renewal early in its current season, and history has repeated itself once more: Via Twitter, executive producer and co-creator Tassie Cameron announced Wednesday (July 17) that Season 5 is "on" for 2014.
Though production company Shaw Media, ABC and Global -- the series' Canadian home network -- had yet to confirm the news at this writing, Cameron cited the "Renew the Blue" tweet campaign as a definite factor in the latest order for the show. "High fives all around," Cameron wrote, followed shortly by star Missy Peregym's tweet of appreciation for viewers' "loyalty and support."

How easy is it for youngsters to be misunderstood? The latest "Rookie Blue" yields plenty of evidence.
The aptly titled "The Kids Are Not Alright," Thursday's (July 11) episode of the ABC police drama, offered two stories of teens and trouble. In one plot, Andy and Gail (Missy Peregrym, Charlotte Sullivan) found a boy crammed into the trunk of a car during a seemingly typical traffic check. Let's get real, though: If a "Rookie Blue'' hour opens with such a check, what are the chances it will stay "typical"?
The other main plot involved Sam's (Ben Bass) search for the person who fatally shot another teen, a hunt that came to involve rival gangs. A former gang member who started out as a suspect was revealed to be the victim's cousin ... and the real target of the shooting. Even worse, text messages showed he was being set up by his relative,...

And Ben Bass knows it. In the fourth season of ABC's "Rookie Blue," his character is involved with 15 Division newcomer Marlo Cruz (Rachael Ancheril) ... but it's clear that he still feels a strong pull toward his ex-love, Officer Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), who discovered his new relationship upon returning from a six-month undercover operation.
In Thursday's (July 11) new episode of the Canadian-made drama, Andy and Sam -- collectively termed "McSwarek" by many fans of the show -- literally run into each other as she participates in a traffic stop he organizes to find the culprit who fatally shot a teenager.

"Rookie Blue" fans know by now that no one is necessarily gone forever.
Well, unless irreversible tragedy happens in the line of duty (you are missed, Detective Jerry Barber). That did not happen to Detective Luke Callaghan -- thus, Eric Johnson returns to the Canadian-made ABC police drama Thursday, July 25, as the ex-fiance of Officer Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym).
Last seen in the Season 3 finale, when he sent a willing Andy on the undercover mission that would team her with Officer Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) for several months, Luke resurfaces in an episode called "Skeletons" when a kidnapping case appears to have echoes of one from the past. He rejoins the cops of 15 Division to help find a girl whose abductor may be a copycat.
Certainly, the "Rookie Blue" faithful can anticipate silent, meaningful looks between Luke and Andy once they're back under the same roof. Season 2 began with her...

Priscilla Faia knew her "Rookie Blue" entrance would be splashy. It was written that way: At the end of the most recent episode of the ABC police drama, her somewhat kooky, quite chatty -- and certainly uninhibited -- character, Chloe Price, introduced herself to lovelorn Officer Dov Epstein (Gregory Smith) at the gang's usual hangout, The Black Penny, ending in a very up-close-and-personal moment for them in the site's restroom.

Peregrym had just finished her stint as Candice Wilmer on NBC's "Heroes" when she was enlisted to play Andi. Nikki Reed ("Twilight") originally had been cast in the part, but Peregrym made it her own, frequently displaying the sort of tomboyish spunk that her current Andy also has become known for.

"You're Andy McNally. You don't give up."
You said it, Oliver Shaw (Matt Gordon) ... and his fellow cop McNally (Missy Peregrym) proved it several times over Thursday (May 30) as ABC's "Rookie Blue" aired episode 2 of Season 4, "Homecoming." And the story, respectively written and directed by series veterans Russ Cochrane and David Wellington, reaffirmed that the show continually succeeds by being as much (if not more) about the regular characters as the given week's crime.
On her first day back on the job after the undercover mission that took her and Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) away from 15 Division for several months, Andy wasted no time getting back into literal action. Spared by Oliver's quick intervention from having to ride with Marlo Cruz (Rachael Ancheril) -- the new flame of Andy's ex, Sam Swarek (Ben Bass) -- Andy sensed trouble upon seeing someone flee from a bank.
Of course, she was correct: robbery in progress.

The rookie cops of Division 15 may have more experience now, but they still can land in a heapin' helpin' of trouble.
Thursday's (May 23) Season 4 opener of ABC's "Rookie Blue," titled "Surprises," demonstrated that amply. For starters, there was the expected front-and-center story of Officers Andy McNally and Nick Collins (Missy Peregym, Peter Mooney).
Right off the bat, they were seen immersed six months later in the undercover operation they left everything and everyone behind for -- including their respective, fellow badge-wearing loves Sam Swarek and Gail Peck (Ben Bass, Charlotte Sullivan) -- at the end of Season 3.
That case would be closed in the first hour of Season 4, but not before a new bond between Andy and Nick made itself known ("It hasn't all been bad," he said as their job was winding down, met by her warm smile). And not before each of them took some blows, quite literally.

The actress starts her fourth round as police officer Andy McNally when the Canadian-made drama resumes its ABC run Thursday, May 23. The season premiere follows through on last year's finale, with Andy and peer Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) immersed in a dangerous undercover operation. The episode means some rough stuff for Peregrym physically, but she maintains she's gotten better at not taking the related emotions home with her.
"People ask if it's second nature to play Andy now, or if I have to think about it a lot," Peregrym tells Zap2it, "and it's kind of a difficult answer. Sometimes, I don't know where Andy begins and I end. I'm learning from her through stuff I've never experienced before; other times, I can project my experiences onto the character and into the story.

In Thursday night’s Season 3 finale of Rookie Blue, Andy finally got from Sam what she’s wanted for so long: to hear him say “I love you.” But still aching from their abrupt break-up and feeling like she’s neglected her career, the rookie decided to leave for a secret task-force assignment — with fellow cop Nick joining her on the undercover mission — instead of meeting up with her ex.

Zap2it: Now nearing the end of your third season -- and heading toward your fourth -- as Officer Sam Swarek on "Rookie Blue," how do you keep the character fresh for yourself?
Ben Bass: I want to find variations of choices, so I think in terms of what we've done. I try to look back and then try to find some differences. The way I navigate scenes is through what I perceive to be the emotional truth of the character, what he wants from moment to moment.
If I say, "I'm going to take you home," and (Missy Peregrym, as Sam's colleague and girlfriend Andy) says, "No, you're not," her impulse is to physicalize that by walking farther into the room. That gives me the message, "She means business," but Sam's also looking out for her interests. And she can push him off only so far.

And some big mistakes definitely will happen.

Below, the actor talks about the episode that will shatter Dov's existence, which storylines he enjoys and whether or not he'll be directing any time soon.

This week's Rookie Blue has Dov in the middle of a very sensitive story line. How did you feel about playing it?
As an actor, you are always hoping for more and more challenging material. So this is an episode that is very close to my heart and important for the character over the course of this show. There's also a lot of responsibility that comes with that too so you get a little bit nervous.

This Thursday's episode, "A Good Shoot," deals with some difficult subject matter. Have you ever found a storyline on the show particularly challenging to play?
I did find the season two finale challenging. What was nice about it was that we sort of ventured out of the usual territory of trying to wrap up a story in one episode. They spread out the undercover story over three episode which I enjoyed. The more challenging it is often the more enjoyable it is.
I got to speak with Bass about how Sam has changed, what fans might be frustrated with when it comes to this new couple and even his thoughts on Canadian hockey.

The Toronto-area building could be any industrial business, given its outward appearance.
On the inside, though, the first floor houses an ultramodern police station ... even if it's only for dramatic purposes.
The site is the production base of "Rookie Blue," the Canadian-made series that launches its third ABC season Thursday, May 24. Though the new round opens with a big-name guest star -- Montreal native William Shatner as a drunken driver with an inherent dislike of the police -- the focus of the show remains on the young cops who certainly know more when they began the job but still have a lot to learn.
Surely that's true for Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), who ended the second season suspended from the force. The reason: her decision to pursue a long-percolating romance with Sam Swarek (Ben Bass), her former training officer, which ended up endangering his life during an undercover assignment and...

Chicago – ABC’s “Rookie Blue” may be the biggest TV hit with the least amount of press. Perhaps because it’s a Canadian import or because it’s a summer series but the show never makes magazine covers or even highlight articles in entertainment magazines. But it’s developed into a pretty solid cop show, as evidenced by the tight, well-made third-season premiere with a great guest appearance from William Shatner.
TV Rating: 3.5/5.0
The man also known as Captain Kirk guest stars in a purely dramatic role (and totally nails it) as a drunk driver who crashes into a van, causing a pile-up with a cop car. Things get very weird from there. The van has propane in the back and goes up in flames. Both Shatner’s driver and one of the cops, Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), just back from suspension, see a girl in the back of the van.

Missy Peregrym, who plays the idealist Officer Andy McNally on the hit show "Rookie Blue," is joking around with her co-star Matt Gordon (Oliver Shaw) on a rare day off. The cast of everybody's favorite summer cop drama is so tight-knit, they actually want to hang out together when they're not shooting.
This season, the affable cast welcomes a new rookie into its fold: Peter Mooney ("Camelot"), who plays Nick Collins, a newly-minted cop with an army background. Nick isn't the only new cast member shaking up the group -- this season also marks the introduction of Andy's estranged mother (Barbara Williams) as well as a guest spot by William Shatner.
With Season 3 set to premiere this week, we grilled Peregrym about everything there is to know about the Sam (Ben Bass) & Andy saga, Andy's suspension and how the new rookie fits into everything. She was pretty tight-lipped, but we...

William Shatner may be best known for playing Captain Kirk, T.J. Hooker, Denny Crane and the dad that was notorious for saying a whole bunch of shat $#*!, but the actor is out to prove he's more than just his legendary characters (well, three legends and a one-season grump).
The Emmy winner guest-stars on the season 3 premiere of "Rookie Blue" as Henry McLeod, and as ABC's press release describes him, he's "a belligerent drunk driver with a haunting secret." Punching Dov (Gregory Smith) in the face, while reeking of whisky? Definitely. But there's so much more to his character. More on that in a bit.
I've loved "Rookie Blue" since it debuted two years ago. I have a real fondness for the stars, who I've spoken to on numerous occasions (whether it's on location or in a fancy hotel suite), but there's something about the series that makes me proud. Sure,...
