BLUE BLOODS is about to enter its final season, and cast members have opened up about how they felt during their final day on set.
“I think we’re all a little disappointed,” Bridget Moynahan, who plays Erin Reagan, told PEOPLE. “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,” she added. “And we’ve all experienced together major life moments together, whether it’s births, deaths, marriages, divorces, illnesses, we’ve had it all together.”
Per TV Insider, “Moynahan has played Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan, the daughter of Selleck’s Frank Reagan, since the first season of BLUE BLOODS premiered back in 2010. She stars alongside Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, and Len Cariou.”
One of the last moments the actress can recall from the new York City set was watching 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, because he was already wrapped and he came down for Donnie and mine’s last scene,” she said.
“We were behind a monitor — I’m getting choked up as I say this — and I had my arm around Tom, and he was holding onto my hands the way my dad did,” she continued. “We were just so thankful, and he was so gracious. From day one that’s the way it went: ‘Nice to meet you. We are family.’”
“That love and appreciation and respect without ever having to say,” she added. “And the appreciation for everything that we had just built while we’re watching our brother, son, teammate and such a voice and face of the show finish his last scene, it was really quite emotional.”
The final season of BLUE BLOODS will air on CBS on Friday, Oct. 18.

The cast of BLUE BLOODS gathered for one final day of filming; a momentous and sorrowful occasion.
“Last day of BLUE BLOODS. Not sure I have the words to describe how I feel about today, or the last 14 years on this special BLUE BLOODS journey, but I do know how incredibly thankful I am for every moment of it,” Donnie Wahlberg wrote on Instagram. “To the cast, the crew, the guests cast, every background actor, writer, producer and every member of every single dept – thank you.
“To the people of New York, in every neighborhood and borough, thank you for always showing your love,” he continued. “The to NYPD, thank you for your support and sacrifice, I hope we did you proud. Lastly, to my fans, and the fans of this show. We don’t make it 14 days (never mind 14 years) without you! Your love and support for this show has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Thank you.”
