Danielle Campbell is joining the case of The Rookie in the sixth season. She’ll play Blair, a psychiatrist for the LAPD.
It’s not clear what type of capacity we’ll see her in. What we do know is that she’s a recurring guest star, but we’ve seen recurring guest stars appear in multiple episodes to the point where they’re promoted to series regular. Will that be the case here? It could depend on the type of role Campbell gets as Blair, and whether she’ll be friend or foe as a psychiatrist.
Of course, you’ll want to know where you’ve seen her before. Here’s a look at the TV shows you likely recognize her from.
The Originals, Tell Me a Story, and more
While Campbell had a few guest spots on the likes of Drop Dead Diva and Prison Break, it’s The Originals where you’ll know her the most. She played young witch Davina Claire. Davina was Marcel’s secret weapon in the first season, using her to prevent witches from doing magic in the French Quarter after learning that the witches were sacrificing her and others to the ancestors to preserve their magic.
Davina would star in 68 episodes, and constantly proved that you shouldn’t underestimate her despite her young age.
She was also in both seasons of Tell Me a Story, starring as two different characters. Remember, this series was an anthology series that took fairy tales and twisted them. In the first season, she played Kayla Powell, and in the second season, she played Olivia Moon.
She also appeared in six episodes of Runaways as Eiffel. That was a short-lived series, so you may not have caught it. It’s worth the watch, though.
It’s not clear if Campbell will be in The Rookie Season 6 premiere. It’s possible that she’s coming in to help Thorsen, who clearly survives everything that happened in the Season 5 finale and may need some help dealing with the trauma of it moving forward.
The Rookie Season 6 premieres on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 9/8c on ABC. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
