The Rookie’s newest episode, “The Return,” noticed the comeback of Seth Ridley, who washed out six episodes in the past for his behavior of mendacity.
Mendacity about earlier tragedies, nearly getting his coworkers killed, and pretending to have most cancers ought to warrant the character being washed out for good however someway, Seth gained the lawsuit in opposition to town and is reinstated within the FTO program at Mid-Wilshire.
However why does he come again? What does Seth acquire from it?
“I think he has to,” Patrick Keleher tells SpoilerTV. “He has to. There’s a reason he became a cop. And the writers have their own ideas to what’s going on, but when I [was] in the process of creating this character, it had to do a lot with how damaging he is to himself by lying, how much he actually hurts himself and how he thinks he needs to replace that–by helping people, by being a cop. And he says it in the very first episode, where they’re sitting there after the crazy shootout, and he’s like, ‘You know, I just wanna help people.’ That’s all he wants to do.”
By the top of the episode, Seth makes the proper selections–he saves Nolan’s life on the danger of his personal and loses his limb, then he comes clear to Tamara about all his lies. For as soon as, he tells the reality.
“I kind of created my own backstory, my own idea, early in the season when we were shooting,” explains Keleher when requested about Seth’s origins. “Alexi came up to me (the creator of the show) and he said: We think that Seth has grown up in a very low class household and he wants to fit in with the upper class and he goes to school with the upper class, or he’s neighbors [with the upper class] or something. And from a very young age, the way to get up there was lying and that was just his natural instincts. It got him what he needed for a very long time, until it didn’t.”
