Blue Bloods’ Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg’s relationship in their own words

Donnie will continue starring as Danny Reagan in spin-off Boston Blue

When Blue Bloods was cancelled after 14 seasons last year, the cast, which includes Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, made no secret of their disappointment.

Many of them have shared that they certainly tried to revive the beloved show, however their efforts were to no avail.

Instead, Donnie will go on to continue starring as Danny Reagan in the spin-off Boston Blue, however the show has not yet confirmed that any of his former co-stars will be involved.

Tom himself confirmed to Parade last year: “I’m open to suggestions, because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody’s really asked,” and noted: “I don’t see him retiring and going off somewhere.”

Still, it’s no secret that he and Donnie were like true family members off the screen for the 14 years that they worked together. Recalling his last day filming Blue Bloods during an appearance on The Talk alongside Donnie, he shared: “It was weird for me because I finished four days before the shooting was done but to me it was the last scene in the show and to all the actors in many ways it was the last scene.”

Donnie, fighting back tears, further recalled: “We’re working, we’re trying to get the job done and we know the end is near … We’re trying to stay professional and stay focused on the scene and ignore the fact that we’re all going to feel emotional. And when they said ‘cut’ on the final take of the final dinner scene, it was silence.” He said there were about 300 members of the crew in the room and “nobody would make a sound.””I think because we … didn’t want it to end and we were hoping that somehow someone is going to walk into the room and say, ‘Let’s do another 14 years,'” he went on, adding: “We all knew that as soon as somebody spoke we’re all going to lose it, and Tom read this very spectacular poem and it took me about two seconds before the waterworks turned on.”
