Rookie Blue - Season 3

William Shatner will guest star in the opening episode.  He will be playing Henry McLeod, a belligerent drunk driver with a haunting secret - and with a serious grudge against the police.

15 Division will welcome a new rookie, ex-soldier Nick Collins (Peter Mooney - Camelot, Murdoch Mysteries), to round out the rest of the team including Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), Dov Epstein (Gregory Smith), Chris Diaz (Travis Milne), Traci Nash (Enuka Okuma) and Gail Peck (Charlotte Sullivan). Plus, one of the rookies will get a major promotion and Andy McNally's mom will make an appearance.

Executive producer Tassie Cameron told TVLine: "We’re using Luke carefully in Season 3. We didn’t want it to be a graveyard of Andy’s ex-boyfriends or boyfriends or whatever, so we’re trying to use him in a new way. And it’s tricky." So I guess they won't get back together, which is good. I'd like to see Andy with Sam.

"We’re going to do some stuff with Gail romantically in Season 3, but not pursue the Dov storyline. It will bubble away under the surface. But they’re really, really close friends, and they’re really interesting together as friends. Right now, we want to step away from that a little bit and put them both in different scenarios and see what happens. We want to see how that plays out with them going back to their strange chemistry as “frenemies.”"

"I think we will learn more about Sam, for sure, and definitely learn more about Andy.… We didn’t see her dad this season. With any luck, if we can get the actor booked, we’ll see him in Season 3. We’ll also meet her mom."

"We're gonna see him become a bit of a bad ass," Milne told TV Fanatic. "You might make some comparisons to Swarek, not that Swarek is mean, but he's more edgy and more aware of evils in the city than Chris has been."  "Some things will happen to Chris that aren't so good. Instead of accepting them, he decides to thrown down the gauntlet."

Enuka Okuma told TV Fanatic: "Her ambitions start to show a little more. We see that she has an instinct for solving problems and an inclination toward moving up the chain at work, let's just say that." Maybe she's the one who'll get the promotion.
