Gail is rocking a new look on this season's Rookie Blue and the show's Executive Producer is spilling secrets behind her drastic haircut.

Writers Still 'Exploring' With Gail & Holly's Relationship

Tassie Cameron spoke with TV Line recently and revealed that Charlotte Sullivan (who portrays Gail) was behind it all.

"The actress came to us in the summer and said, 'My hair has been over processed and blond for so long that it's in disastrous shape. I need to cut it.' And so we said, 'Of course,' and then we didn't know how we were going to deal with it."

Cameron added that writers had to think fast when it came to explaining Gail's haircut because in TV time, only a few hours had passed since the season four finale.

"So we thought, why don't we see if there's something interesting and fun we can do with this on screen. So we wrote it in after she'd cut her hair."

It ended up being one of the most memorable scenes considering Gail's new love interest, Holly helped her with the big chop. While it brought their relationship closer, Cameron revealed they will still face even more hurdles throughout the season.

"I think that you'll see that [the challenges] are very in character for her," Cameron said. "It's not about whether she's with a man or a woman. It's about whether Gail Peck can ever really handle being intimate and close with somebody without letting her defenses go up and get the better of her. And that's pretty authentic to who she is, and she'll grapple with that with Holly as well."

Rookie Blue airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC. Keep up with Enstars for spoilers and cast updates.
