Heartbreaking Update! Bridget Moynahan shocks fans with devastating news!
Bridget Moynahan Says ‘Blue Bloods’ Viewers Will Be ‘Somewhat Satisfied’ By Series Finale
Bridget Moynahan hinted at how Blue Bloods will be wrapped up in its finale episode, and it might not be what viewers want to hear.
The show’s star sat down with TVLine Spotlight for a candid conversation about the program’s end on November 7. Bridget, 53, was asked what viewers are going to feel when they watch the final episode of season 14, which will air on December 13.
“I think that fans will feel somewhat satisfied but then I think you’re going to want more, with some of the things that are revealed that are told, wrapped up … they’re not even wrapped up that’s what I mean,” she said with a laugh. “There are these nuggets where people are going to be like, ‘Yes!!!’ And then the show’s over. It’s going to be bittersweet in some ways.”
When asked if she thought the cast would be interested in getting together years from now for a reunion movie, she said, “Yeah why not? We can’t have that many years.”
While some shocking things might happen in the show’s series finale, showrunner Kevin Wade said that the episode will not have any cliffhangers.
“There won’t be any cliffhangers because there’s no cliff, but it ends,” he told TV Insider in an interview published on May 17. “Anything we would do that was an open question would by definition never be answered, so we’re trying to bring character stories to a close in that one. Obviously, we have some stories, some plot, but no, it’s designed as the last one.”
He also hinted that Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck, likely would not retire at the series’ end.
“I’m pretty sure that Frank would stay in his job until the series ended,” he said. “We didn’t really pursue that avenue because the show is built on him being the police commissioner of New York City. So, to take a detour during the last mile, if this is the last mile, I don’t know what he would be doing down at the hardware store or having coffee with old buddies during the day. I always have to look at stuff that generates stories. Police Commissioner of New York generates stories. He’s the CEO of 35,000 cops.”
Regardless of what ends up happening for the Reagan family, Bridget made it clear that playing Erin Reagan was the role of a lifetime. She was baffled by the show’s cancellation.
“I don’t quite understand it. But it is what it is,” the Sex and the City alum said. “I mean, we have incredible ratings … and there’s a loyal fan base that would make the time on a Friday night to sit down and watch it, or make time over the weekend.”
“There’s a younger generation coming in and appreciating the great stories, but also the good values,” she said about the show, adding that it will leave a “void” in the TV lineup once it is off the air. “You’re hard pressed to find those values in stories on television right now.”
