Fandom: The Rookie Fans, Congratulations on Lucy and Tim's Romance

It must be nice being a fan of The Rookie TV series right now because two characters that fans have been wanting to get together for a long time, Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford are finally getting that chance to do just that. It must be nice when the showrunners and writers actually listen to fans and acknowledge the chemistry between two characters they initially had no plans in putting together.

(The Rookie season 5 episode 9: Take Back)

It really makes me wish the showrunner and writers for 9-1-1 were supportive and not dismissive of the amazing chemistry fans see between Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley and took a chance by putting them together. This is a very beloved ship with two characters that fans love who care about each other very much and I've said this before that if either Buck or Eddie had been a woman, they would have gotten together either in the third or fourth season. Instead the showrunner and writers keep trying to introduce and force lackluster love interests for Eddie and Buck instead of letting them be together.

(9-1-1 season 3 episode 3: The Searchers)

I used to watch The Rookie when it first aired (back when Lucy was dating John Nolan) but I had gotten so behind on episodes I never went back. It's a good show, maybe I'll go back to it. I'm really happy for the fans because I've seen so many comments and posts about Tim and Lucy and how fans hoped they would get together. And I think it's cool to see fans celebrate something they had only hoped and wished would happen. As a 9-1-1 fan, it would really be nice to have that same opportunity to celebrate Buck and Eddie getting together. Maybe the 9-1-1 showrunner will see the positive reviews and fan excitement and celebration for Lucy and Tim and would consider taking that same chance for Buck and Eddie but I'm not holding my breath.
