Wondering where Jenna Dewan’s Bailey is in The Rookie Season 7? Fans were left questioning her absence from the premiere, especially after the intense Season 6 finale. While Bailey’s fate hangs in the balance, her connection to Nolan and the looming threat of her ex-husband promise plenty of drama ahead.
So, let’s unravel Bailey’s Season 7 absence and what it means for her future on The Rookie.
Why was Jenna Dewan’s Bailey missing in The Rookie Season 7 Episode 1?
In The Rookie Season 7 premiere, Bailey was notably absent. Her whereabouts were explained during a conversation between John Nolan and his rookie, Celina Juarez, where Nolan revealed that Bailey is on deployment with the National Guard, a mission that keeps her away from ongoing dangers.
He reassured that her temporary assignment is keeping her safe from her dangerous ex-husband, Jason Wyler, who recently escaped from prison. Though her absence raised questions among fans, it’s confirmed she will return at the end of Episode 3. She remains a key part of the series, especially as Nolan’s wife and partner in upcoming storylines (via The Direct).
Could Bailey be exiting The Rookie in Season 7?
No, Bailey is not leaving The Rookie in Season 7.
Showrunner Alexi Hawley confirmed that she will return in Episode 3 and remain part of the show’s ongoing narrative (via Screen Rant). Jenna Dewan remains a series regular, and Bailey’s storyline will be explored further as the season progresses.
Dewan’s absence is due to her real-life pregnancy, prompting her character to be off-screen early in Season 7. Despite this, Bailey’s ongoing story with Jason Wyler will remain a crucial plotline, alongside her and Nolan’s adoption plans.
Bailey’s brief absence caused concern among fans. However, her return in Episode 3 promises more action and growth for her and Nolan. Viewers can expect intense moments involving Jason Wyler and new developments in their relationship.
