The Blue Bloods series finale is just weeks away, but the latest update on the show has fans fearing for the fates of their favorite characters.
“There’s some nice revelations in that last episode of season 14 that wrap up at that family dinner,” Bridget Moynahan, who portrays Erin Reagan-Boyle in the Tom Selleck-led series, recently told Entertainment Weekly.
“For us to go out on such a special family dinner on our last episode, I think will resonate with the fans,” she added.
While that all sounds promising and a nod to the Reagan family’s tradition, she also hinted that something big is coming.
Fans will really get a kick out of some of ’em,” the Sex and the City alum told the outlet. “And then there might be a surprise that isn’t so hopeful.”
There’s no telling if a big character will get killed off during the final episode. However, cast member Abigail Hawk teased that a cemetery scene is coming to close the hit show out with a bang.
“My last day, Tom’s last day, gosh, quite a few of our last days on set, was at a cemetery,” she told Screen Time on October 12. “Which is not giving anything away, but certainly dangling a little teaser.”
The cast finished filming Blue Bloods in June and have all been very vocal about how hard it was to say goodbye to their characters.
“It was hard,” Abigail, 42, said. “And I felt like I was almost watching myself because it was so surreal and I was so in it that I couldn’t see it, if that makes sense?”
She explained that Tom, 79, was visibly emotional when wrapping his final scenes.
“And then to see Tom being wrapped out,” Abigail said. “This wonderful legend of a man who had lightning strike twice. He’s had such an incredible, illustrious career and would have never thought that, after the success of Magnum P.I., to have this happen again and create such a venerable character.”
“You could see the weight of that on him,” she reflected. “We’ve been in touch and we’re keeping the line open. I care so deeply for him. It’s hard, you know? He’s aware of his age but he’s also just still got so much to say.”
Bridget also voiced how difficult it was to walk away from the show, which has been a staple in the CBS lineup since 2010.
“I think we’re all a little disappointed,” she told People on September 12. “We’ve had such a good time. We all want to be there. It’s a real loss.”
“This was our daily lives for 14 years. And we’ve all experienced together major life moments together, whether it’s births, deaths, marriages, divorces, illnesses, we’ve had it all together,” Bridget, 53, said.
She even admitted that she wished for her job back.
“It’s bittersweet. I want my job back!” the model turned actress said during an appearance on Sherri in October. “It was a good run. Fourteen years with a group of people, we were a family on and off the screen.”
And despite the show ending, she still spends time with her costars off screen.
“Vanessa [Ray], Donnie [Wahlberg] and I, we get together,” Bridget shared. “We’re still celebrating people’s birthdays and having fun out there. So, [I] miss them on a daily basis.”
