In a February interview with TVLine, series creator James Duff explained what is at stake if Winnie gets the job. If she takes over Russell Taylor's (Robert Gossett) former position, the Deputy Chief of Operations will not think twice about dissolving Sharon's unit. Although Sharon has no ambition to be promoted, she would have to if it means stopping Winnie from achieving her plan.
"Sharon doesn't really want the job, but she really doesn't want Winnie Davis to have it. Winnie Davis poses a threat to the way the LAPD is presently organized, and she is especially displeased with Major Crimes. ...There's always this tension inside governmental agencies, between getting the job done and spending money," Duff said in the TVLine interview.
