Lack of Casting

I’ve started to notice a trend with The Rookie, and I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed this, also.

Bailey Nune - she does it all. She’s a paramedic, firefighter, part of the National Guard, etc. Does anyone else think this is just a little lazy? Like I understand that Bailey is supposed to be this big go - getter girl, but it just seems the writers/casting crew are just labeling her as all of these things so that they don’t have to cast anyone else.

Thorsen was a good example of this too, but it was a little different for him. Instead of making him a complete go-getter like Bailey, they made him rich & famous so that it was easy to have access to stuff like a private jet or something to fly somewhere. I can’t think of an exact example right now, but there have been a times when the cast is at a loss, then Thorsen shows up & he’s like “oh I have a guy for that.”

Also, I know Thorsen is no longer at Mid-Wilshire, but when he was this was a common theme.

I also feel like ( & I’m saying this with love, because I do find them adorable together) they forced Lopez & Wesley to marry to have an easy DA person readily available that kind of tied in and fit with the stories. This one doesn’t bother me as much as the other two though, because I genuinely like them together.

Let me know your thoughts

EDIT: THIS IS NO HATE TOWARDS BAILEY!!! I literally love her. I just find it interesting!
