Hey there, fans of Blue Bloods! As we gear up for the series finale, everyone's on edge, wondering which characters will make it to the end. Let’s face it, this show has been a family favorite for over a decade, and now we're getting ready to say goodbye. But are we saying goodbye to some of our favorite characters too? Spoiler alert: the signs are pointing to a major shake-up.
Let’s talk about Len Cariou, the talented actor who plays Henry Reagan. Some eagle-eyed viewers have noticed some pretty ominous hints in his character’s recent storylines. Could this mean we’re about to lose Henry? Fans are buzzing with speculation, and it’s not hard to see why.
Family Feuds and Foreshadowing
In the latest episodes, Henry Reagan has been dropping some lines that feel like they could be setting the stage for something big. Take season 14, episode 11, for instance. During a family dinner, Henry had a tense conversation with Jack Boyle, Erin Reagan’s ex-husband. Henry wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy toward Jack, to say the least.

When Jack asked, “I’m wondering what the statute of limitations is in this family?” referring to the mistakes he made in his youth, Frank Reagan, played by the legendary Tom Selleck, replied, “In regards to what?” Jack then explained, “How long will I be held responsible for mistakes I made in my early 20s? Or is the backlash in perpetuity?” Henry’s response? A chilling, “Til I die.”
Now, that’s some serious foreshadowing if I’ve ever heard it. The tension in that scene was thick, and it left many fans wondering if Henry’s days on the show are numbered.
A Sentimental Farewell?
Fast forward to episode 12 of the final season, where things take an emotional turn. Henry decides to hold a mock wake at the family dinner, asking everyone to share nice things they’d say about him if he were no longer around. This heartwarming yet bittersweet moment had fans on the edge of their seats.
Frank Reagan, Henry’s son, spoke up during the scene, saying, “What can I say about the man who taught me everything? Taught me how to drive a stick. Taught me how to pour a beer in the side of a glass just so. Taught me how to reheat a pizza, by sliding a slice into a pan shimmering in a little olive oil.”
But Henry wasn’t satisfied. He asked if that was all Frank had to say, to which Frank replied, “Pretty much. No, not hardly. That was just the tip of an iceberg that runs deep and wide.” It’s moments like these that remind us just how much Henry Reagan means to the Reagan family—and to us as viewers.
What's Coming in the Final Episodes?
As of season 14, episode 14, Henry is still alive and kicking. But the cast is dropping hints about what’s in store for the final episodes. It seems like producers are gearing up for a dramatic conclusion that could leave fans in tears—or at least with a lump in their throats.

Blue Bloods star Abigail Hawk shared that she and Tom Selleck filmed their final scenes in a cemetery. “Which is not giving anything away, but certainly dangling a little teaser,” she teased during a recent interview with Screen Time.
Donnie Wahlberg also chimed in, hinting that the finale might just break our hearts. “There’ll be a lot of tears,” he admitted during a Sirius XM radio appearance. “I think the same kind of tears we had, but there is a very sad scene that happens in the middle of the final episode which will be very emotional. But I think the audience is going to be really happy. I think it feels like a finale but a hopeful forward-thinking finale.”
Len Cariou's Farewell Thoughts
Len Cariou, who plays Henry Reagan, expressed his sadness over the show's cancellation after ten successful years on CBS. At 85 years old, he’s had quite the journey playing this iconic character.
“Yeah, it’s too bad. Doesn’t make any sense,” he said in a November 1 interview with TV Insider. “We’re still, I think, the best-watched show on Friday nights, even though we’re canceled.” It’s clear that Len, like so many of us, will miss the Reagan family and the stories they’ve shared with us over the years.
