"Characters Have to Continue to Grow": 'The Rookie' Star Discusses Evolution of Wesley and Lopez’s Relationship

The seventh season of the police procedural drama, The Rookie, has brought with it many memorable episodes and exciting storylines so far. Its latest episode is a testament to that, as the episode drew the procedural's largest audience of the season so far. Among the other characters that featured in the episode, titled, "Speed," Assistant District Attorney Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore) and his wife, Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), worked together to resolve a particularly difficult case. Theirs has been a relationship which began in the show's first season, and has morphed as the seasons roll by. It is an evolution that Ashmore has discussed recently. Wesley and Angela met in Season 1 while the former still worked as a defense attorney. Unsurprisingly, the pair were at odds given that they were often on opposing sides early on, despite the undeniable attraction.
