BLUE BLOODS star Abigail Hawk is hopeful that her beloved show will get picked up for another, even though CBS canceled it last year.
“Of course, we are sad, but you never know,” Hawk, who plays Abigail Baker on the show, told Screen Time.
“I mean, yes the set is gone,” she added, “but with the professionals we have in our industry it would take two seconds to rebuild a set like that if it came to that. So there’s still a little teeny bit of a silver needle somewhere in the hope haystack and I’ll hang on to it.”
BLUE BLOODS Season 14 finished filming this past summer, and since then, the sets have been completely taken down.
“I think the resolve is there. We know that it’s done, but, like Tom Selleck’s memoir, his memoir’s titled ‘You Never Know.’ And I think that hope can move mountains,” Hawk said.
The actress also reflected on her last days on set.
“My last day, Tom’s last day, gosh, quite a few of our last days on set, was at a cemetery,” Hawk said.
“It was hard,” she added. “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? It was almost like being so close to the fire that I can’t actually experience how hot it is.”
“We had our wonderful first AD, Tom Tobin, wrap each of us out and say, ‘That’s a series wrap on Abigail Hawk, detective Abigail Baker,’” she remembered. “And the applause and tears were received but also, like, I just wasn’t able to process it in the moment. Just the loveliest thing to be hugged by our executive producers Kevin Wade and Siobhan Byrne O’Connor, who have been with us since the beginning.”
Other BLUE BLOODS stars aren’t ready for the show to be over, either.
“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast,” Tom Selleck said. “We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”
Bridget Moynahan also misses working with her co-stars. She said, “It’s bittersweet. I want my job back! It was a good run. Fourteen years with a group of people, we were a family on and off the screen.”
