During its seven-season run, The Rookie has enjoyed plenty of star-studded guest appearances. The ABC procedural, which hasalready been renewed for an eighth season, previously welcomed the likes of Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle) and Joel McHale (Community) to the fold, but there’s one familiar face in particular that fans are hoping will make a comeback. In Season 2, viewers were introduced to John Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) half-sibling, Pete Nolan. Played by comedian Pete Davidson, the younger Nolan was quite a handful for John after he appeared on the scene following their father’s passing. The pair remained close, with the character even swinging by again for another guest spot in the fourth season, but since then, Pete hasn’t come back around — despite telling John that he’d continue to surprise him with visits.
