The Tight Bond of the 'Blue Bloods' Cast: Unveiling Their Heartwarming Moments
The cast of the hit show 'Blue Bloods' has formed a tight-knit bond both on and off camera With actors like Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan, their closeness shines through in their sweetest moments
The cast of Blue Bloods has formed a close bond since the show debuted in 2010, extending beyond their roles as a television family.
The CBS series revolves around the Reagan family led by Tom Selleck's character, Commissioner Frank Reagan. Frank's father, Henry Reagan (played by Len Cariou), sits across from him during their regular Sunday dinners. Joining them at the table are Frank's children: daughter Erin Reagan (portrayed by Bridget Moynahan), and sons Danny (played by Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (portrayed by Will Estes).
The sense of home is not limited to the cast while filming; it continues even when the cameras stop.
In December 2021, Vanessa Ray, who portrays Jamie's wife, Eddie Janko, expressed her appreciation through an Instagram post titled "Partner Appreciation Day!" She commended Wahlberg for providing her with "new music and uplifting words to live by," and extended gratitude to Marisa Ramirez, who portrays Maria Baez, for sharing her heartfelt emotions and being an exceptional listener and support.
The final season of Blue Bloods premieres in February 2024.
