An On Patrol: Live fan favorite is finally back in the studio this weekend and fans are beyond ready for this. Whenever someone goes away for an extended period, it is a hard adjustment. Yet, when they do come back, it is cause for celebration. So, who will be back behind the desk? Keep reading for more details.
On Patrol: Live Fan Favorite Back In Studio
Whenever a department, Corporal, Deputy, or Sheriff is not around for a while, On Patrol: Live fans demand answers. They love who they love and that is understandable. So, they will ask questions until they know what is going on and that was the case with Corporal Carli Drayton. She took a leave when she found out she was pregnant which was an extremely exciting time. Corporal Drayton welcomed her little girl right before the New Year and, of course, viewers wanted to know when she would be back.
She did keep everyone posted and said she was not back in action and would not be for some time. This made complete sense as she wanted to savor being a mother. Additionally, Corporal Drayton had been followed during her pregnancy and lacked privacy. So, to jump back in was not the most desirable. However, she is now back and has documented her trip to New York. She shared photos of her and her daughter on the plane which were absolutely precious.
It looks like both mother and little lady are ready and raring to go for their grand return and so are the fans. An announcement was made on Twitter/X that Corporal Drayton was coming back starting Friday, August 9th:
#OPNation, @CPLDRAYTON_BCSO of the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office is in the house this weekend with @DanAbrams and Tom Rizzo! It all starts Friday night at 8E|5P with #OnPatrolFirstShift! Send Qs for Carli to [email protected] or post using #AskCarli #OPLive & #REELZ. pic.twitter.com/6g9d7YwFjo

Immediately, a Reddit thread was started to celebrate this big and incredible news:
- Yay! Hopefully they’ll announce Berkeley coming back while she’s there this weekend too.
- I am happy. She is great in my opinion!!
- Will be great to have her in studio!
- Yayayayayyayayayy
Big Changes
As excited as On Patrol: Live fans were to learn Corporal Carli Drayton would be back, they also were ready to acknowledge some big changes. The new season has shown that Captain Tom Rizzo is likely Sean ‘Sticks’ Larkin’s replacement. Therefore, they think it is time that the signs and ads reflect the changes. Sticks has made a few guest appearances but has not been a true presence for a long time so it is time to make some updates. Regardless, this should be a great weekend, and maybe Corporal Drayton’s baby will make a guest appearance.
