Blue Bloods Cast Members REVEAL Why They Haven’t Left The Show Yet!
today on the channel we are going to talk about Blue Bloods: Bridget Moynahan Answers Why the Cast Hasn’t Quit the Show Yet. The cast of Blue Bloods is still dedicated to making new episodes. The Reagans are back after a finale that could have closed the whole show. Bridget Moynahan, who plays Erin Reagan, explained what has kept them going and more. At this point, it’s up in the air if Blue Bloods will renew at the end of every season. That’s because it has already had a long run.
Showrunner Kevin Wade told Deadline that season 11’s finale was written to be the end of the show. “We were told pretty early on, I think before Thanksgiving that our season finale would be the last two episodes and would air back to back which I immediately took as they’re planning to wrap up the series … So I started to think about how do we do something that could serve as a season finale but also if need be as a series finale,” he said. Blue Bloods is still going strong. Luckily for fans, Moynahan said there are no signs of them stopping. “It all has to do with the writing and new, more complicated story lines,” she told Glamour. “We also have a team of actors who really appreciate the job and each other. We know how lucky we are to be on this show—and such a long-running show at that.” She continued, “It doesn’t come around that often, so when you’re working with people who express gratitude, it just fuels the show.
Everybody wants to show up and do their best work.” The actor revealed where everyone got their work ethic to keep going. “I think it comes from family,” Moynahan said. “It’s easy to think, Oh, I’ve done this, so let me go do that, where the grass is greener, but I think all of us understand what a good thing we have here. I know Donnie [Wahlberg] and Tom [Selleck] feel the same way. We are grateful.” Watch the whole video to know more why the Cast Hasn’t Quit the Show Yet and more.
Ever since it premiered in 2010, Blue Bloods has remained a stable of CBS’ late-night Friday programming. The police procedural drama centers on the Reagans, an Irish Catholic family based in New York City with several family members working on the police force, and it has found a consistent viewership for 10 years now. But as it continues with its currently-airing tenth season, which cast members are still involved with the long-standing cop drama, and who has either left or been let go from the popular television series? Believe it or not, most of the cast members are still there.
Yes, surprisingly enough, a majority of the main Blue Bloods castmates have stayed with the CBS drama series for the long haul. Even though the TV program has now been on the broadcast station for a full decade and counting, several of its prominent actors, including Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, and Tom Selleck, have remained at the center. While there are rumors of castmates potentially leaving — including Sami Gayle, who plays Nicky Reagan-Boyle (and a cast member since the beginning), and Tony Terraciano, who plays Jack Regan (a reoccurring part of the cast since the get-go who has only been a guest throughout this newest season) — neither actor have announced their departures, so by no means is it confirmed at this time.
Therefore, unlike other, similar hit broadcast TV shows like Chicago Fire, Hawaii Five-0, Chicago P.D., Law and Order: SVU, CSI, and CSI: Miami where cast members have rotated in-and-out of the program, Blue Bloods has kept its core cast members. Therefore, this list won’t be quite as long and extensive in terms of naming all the various cast members who have exited and dolling out the reasons why — whether it was their choice or a decision from the writers. We’ll be focusing on the few main cast mates who did leave, as well as a few other prominent reoccurring actors who haven’t been on Blue Bloods since their respective departure. With that out of the way, without further ado, here are the reasons why the Blue Bloods cast members left the series.
Nick Turturro (Sergeant Anthony Renzulli)
An experienced police sergeant with a lot of knowledge about the 12th Precinct, Nicholas Turturro’s Sergeant Anthony Renzulli has made close to 40 appearances on the popular CBS series, but he hasn’t been on Blue Bloods since 2016. His character hasn’t been killed off the show, so the possibility of Renzulli coming back for another episode in the later seasons isn’t out of the question, but he hasn’t made an appearance since Season 6.
There’s always a chance that a few of these actors and characters will bid adieu to the show sometime in the future, as a couple of them have been speculated to leave in short notice. But, for the most part, these cast members are involved for the long haul, and that is not expected to change anytime in the near future — so far as we know, at least. That said, there have been at least a couple controversial exits — as we’ve noted.
