As Blue Bloods gears up for its final season, set to kick off on October 18, Bridget Moynahan is opening up about the bittersweet end of the beloved series. After 14 seasons, the cast and crew are grappling with the reality of saying goodbye to a show that has been a significant part of their lives.
Mixed Emotions About the Cancellation
In a recent interview with People, Moynahan expressed her disappointment about the show’s conclusion. “I think we’re all a little disappointed,” she shared. “We’ve had such a good time. We all want to be there. It’s a real loss.”
Since the premiere in 2010, Moynahan has portrayed Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan, the daughter of Tom Selleck’s character, Frank Reagan. Together with co-stars Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, and Len Cariou, the cast has formed a tight-knit family over the years.
A Journey of Shared Experiences
Reflecting on her time with the cast, Moynahan noted the depth of their shared experiences: “This was our daily lives for 14 years. And we’ve all experienced major life moments together, whether it’s births, deaths, marriages, divorces, illnesses — we’ve had it all together.”
A Memorable Final Day on Set
Moynahan recounted her emotional final day on set, where she and Tom Selleck watched Wahlberg film his last scene. “I think one of the most beautiful things on that last day for me, I’ll never forget it, is Tom… came down for Donnie and mine’s last scene,” she recalled.
As they watched, Moynahan described a poignant moment: “I had my arm around Tom, and he was holding onto my hands the way my dad did. We were just so thankful, and he was so gracious.”
A Legacy of Family
Moynahan emphasized the familial bonds that have formed among the cast, noting that from day one, Selleck set the tone: “Nice to meet you. We are family.” This sense of unity has been a hallmark of Blue Bloods, making its departure feel even more profound.
