I guess we are all wondering what happened and how are the writers going to address this. Waiting to see what really happened than try to speculate. My immediate thoughts were "is this Castle all over again?" Just thoughts though

I post as someone who hasn't watched the series but I also saw that information on TVLine. As always I loved reading the comments which were all in the negative with the actress not returning as fans seemed to not only enjoy Afton's performance but also her character which was seen as a strong woman. And then the second half of the comments and the Castle fans seem to come out and once again the rumored reason as to why Stana was not invited back reared its head. And it was wondered if the same now applied to The Rookie. Also rumored that a male character would now be the replacement. So how many women will there be in the 2nd season? I know Ali Larter is joining and speculation as to whether she might be Nolan's new love interest.
Terry - I'm not sure if your thoughts about Castle was the rumors and this possibly now being applied to The Rookie..?
B :-)

Considering who is the star of the show, it would be very bad for them if the issues that were rumored to have happened on Castle were cast on this show. I wish the best for Ms. Williams. I'm sure we will see her in something else.

What an interesting issue of my TVWeek I bought today . . . . . . .
I was wondering when it might happen, and it finally did: the rookie is starting here next week. But. The interesting thing is the size of the 'fanfare' announcement of this new show to us here in Australia; It takes up about 1/4 of a page. Not half, not a full page, but a 1/4. Ive got larger sized features for Castle eps when the show was on. Each feature then was half a page, if not a full page.
Anyway here's what it says; Season Premiere Monday 8.30pm Channel 7 (Castle station).;
'Nathan Fillion plays John Nolan, a construction company owner whose wife has divorced him. After getting caught up in a bank robbery, he decides to move from small town Pensylvania to LA to become a cop. At 45, he's the oldest rookie on the force, but John isnt going to be put off easily'.

Did you say 1/4 page profiling TR? Interesting as TVWeek (Jenny Cooney) has always been a pretty big supporter of NF stories. Interesting.

Or 10 1/2 cm (6'' x 3 1/2'') x 7cm to be precise/exact. If you buy TVWeek, its on page 17 lower right side. I didnt realise that Jenny Cooney is a big supporter of fillion (stories). Thanks for the info. I did think she is a fan of Stana. That dosnt mean that she isnt a fan of his too. I just didnt realise that she was.

Well this is not good news on a number of levels. Afton Williamson has broken her silence on her departure from TR. It sure wasnt 'amicable' as announced by the Studio/TPTB. Very much the opposite it would appear. If these allegations have merit, then there is going to be fallout at the top of TR and at the EP level. Here is the post made by Afton on her IG account: http://instagr.am/p/B0vCRlxld74

well well well. Could this be the end for the rookie? Very brave and courageous of Afton to break her silence on sexual harrassement and abuse. Good on her!. Women need to admit when harassement, expecially sexual, happens, and abuse and assault. The people involved need to be made accountable and fired and hopefully jailed. Thank you for posting this info Latte.

Think anyone who is involved, either rightly or not, will be consulting with their lawyers to develop an appropriate statement. At this point only Hawley has been clearly accused, whilst others are under the umbrella of titles such as EP's. The Head of the hairdressing area is easily identified though and the accusations are clear towards that person. One aspect that is more than disturbing is that the inappropriate behaviours began in the pilot and were reported to the show runner. If these allegations are true, and at this point there should be a presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, then the consequences need to be beyond a slap on the wrist. Is anyone else tired of reading these stories in HW and that consequences appear light at best? Let the truth be revealed whatever it is.

Thank you for posting this info Latte. welcome. I'm not sure that the actual show will be cancelled at this late stage as I believe filming for S2 has commenced? However, I do expect that Hawley will be removed and then it will be interesting if any of the EP's were culpable for enabling the reported behaviour to continue unchecked. Let's see how transparent the studio and the network are about all this. Very sceptical about their so called 'independent investigation'. What does that mean and who is doing the investigating? I'd want the Union involved in the investigation as well. If the house needs to be cleaned then clean it from top to bottom. Or if the allegations cannot be substantiated then that too needs to be revealed. I can't see how an actor would risk their career in making these allegations unless they were true, but everyone is entitled to their presumption of innocence.

Is anyone else tired of reading these stories in HW and that consequences appear light at best? Let the truth be revealed whatever it is. Totally agree that anyone involved should be consulting their lawyers re appropriate statement. For the inappropriate behaviour to have started in the pilot, being over a year ago, and then to have escalated to assault, it is definately more than disturbing that the behaviours were reported at the time, but were ignored. Both actions being disgraceful. Yet again people in charge are putting their ego's and hopeful success of a new show ahead of doing the right thing. Also totally agree that if the allegations are true, then the perpetrators and enablers should be fired and (possibly) hopefully jailed. For hawley to not to have investigated he is in fact enabling the behaviour. Perpetrators need to receive punishment for their crimes, and if jail is the answer, then so be it., they also need to be fired, and their conduct made known to the entertainment at large. No actor wants to keep going to work to be harassed from whatever department. Actors need to feel/be safe in their work environment. They keep very long hours, and being confronted with harassment and assault, is not on. Its a criminal offence. I also totally agree, that truth needs to be revealed.

I can't see how an actor would risk their career in making these allegations unless they were true, but everyone is entitled to their presumption of innocence. Hawley needs to be removed. But then so should other showrunners who knowingly dont report to studio heads, etc, police, any harassment and or sexual assault. It will indeed be interesting if any of the EP's were culpable for enabling the behaviour. I also think abc heads should also be fired if they did know, but were also shy of reporting to police, or not keen to do anything about it. No studio needs to have ineffective show runners, or indeed, heads of the studio, or Executive Producers who dont make a stand, or eliminate the person/s involved and make the workplace environment safe/r for actors. I also agree that no actor would risk their career by making false accusations. It would be career suicide if they did. The actors who make allegations need to be commended for being courageous in announcing harassing and assaulting conduct. The harassing and assaulting behaviour needs to be stamped out. Actors and others in the entertainment industry need to be brought to justice re this criminal behaviour., and the sooner, the better.

by clicking on link http://instagram.com/p/B0J9axeDcBS , there are three comments ; the third one is asking who is the person on the left. Who indeed . . . none other than the showrunner. Im only reposting because of the current situation.

Hawley and Fillion were tied at the hip during the last season of Castle. The season 9 proposal was their thing as well as The Rookie. You'd think that the way Castle was ended by ABC that they would be more aware of the sexual harassment issues, but I guess not.
Right now silence from Stana is probably the best approach.

Don’t see how Hawley can survive this, unless her entire story is made up from start to finish, which seems extremely unlikely.
Given how marginal the renewal of the show was anyway, I’ll bet ABC is more than a little ticked that they didn’t know anything about this (if the stories are correct). Of course, one could say they deserve it for ever considering working again with a loser like Hawley.
SK would be completely insane to say one word about this beyond boilerplate “I support the rights of all people to have a safe and professional work environment.”

I totally agree with your 2nd paragraph. Re your 3rd paragraph; my wording for Stana would be she would be most unwise to say anything but include the statement you state. I think the term 'completely insane' is (way) over the top.
