Season Eight of Blue Bloods is missing a familiar face, and we fans had to play catch-up to understand why! Midway in the course of the display's newest season premiere back in September 2017, we discovered that Linda Reagan (played by means of Amy Carlson), the spouse of lead character Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg), died in a helicopter crash months previous.
That’s proper — Linda’s demise was by no means shown on the CBS procedural. We simplest found out in regards to the ER nurse’s tragic destiny through Danny’s therapy session with Dr. Dawson, because the latter tried to assuage Danny’s emotions of guilt.
“Linda’s death wasn’t your fault,” the therapist told Donnie's personality. “She was once doing her activity. She died doing what she loved. She died in a helicopter crash, airlifting her affected person.”
At Blue Bloods’ PaleyLive NY match in October, the solid showed actress Amy chose not to renew her contract. (Amy have been on the show for the reason that collection premiere and earned a chain regular status in Season 2.) In a statement, the 49-year-old big name waxed nostalgic about her revel in.
“My center is stuffed with gratitude to every of you on your beneficiant beef up of me and my persona for the last seven years,” she said. “I liked taking part in Linda: wife to Danny, mother to Jack and Sean, nurse, and dealing mother. I’m pleased with my contribution to development this collection… Mostly, I'm grateful to the lovers who've supported me and the show.”
Meanwhile, Donnie has not anything but appreciation for his TV wife. “In my 35-year acting/making a song career, I’ve worked with some great abilities,” he tweeted earlier in the 8th season. “Amy Carlson and [my former Blue Bloods co-star] Jennifer Esposito are two of the best… I know many Blue Bloods fans will omit Linda Reagan. None more than me. Amy Carlson is a gift, a light, and a real good friend on and off-screen.” Hey, they’ll always be family, right?
