Let’s talk about goodbyes that hit you right in the heart. Mira Sorvino, who played Fire Commissioner Veronica Radley in the final season of Blue Bloods, took a moment to reflect on her time working with the legendary Tom Selleck. And let me tell you, her words are as heartfelt as they come.
“I had the extraordinary pleasure of working with the great Tom Selleck on what I believe is the final season of Blue Bloods. It was an absolute honor to step into the role of Fire Commissioner in such a beloved show,” Mira captioned an Instagram post on November 24. “I also had a blast collaborating with Dylan Walsh. This experience with such a talented cast and crew will stay with me forever!”
Now, let’s break this down. Mira Sorvino, who turned 57 this year, made her appearance in the season 14 episode titled “Bad to Worse” on November 1. That’s right, folks, just one episode where she shone brightly alongside the iconic Tom Selleck, but it was enough to leave a lasting impression.

Fans React to the End of an Era
Fans didn’t waste any time flooding the comments section to express their admiration for Mira, Tom, and the entire Blue Bloods cast. It’s clear that this show has been a cherished part of their lives for over a decade. “Great Series, with great Stars in the Cast!!! I’ll truly miss tuning in for those Friday night episodes,” one fan wrote, summing up the collective sentiment perfectly.
Another viewer chimed in, “You were fantastic! It’s so sad to see it come to an end.” And if that wasn’t enough to tug at your heartstrings, another commenter added, “Wonderful. Two legends together, and they just kept getting better every day.”
While some fans held out hope for a miraculous reprieve, it seems the writing is on the wall. CBS has officially announced that the series finale of Blue Bloods will air on Friday, December 13 at 10 p.m. This marks the end of a 14-year journey with the Reagan family.
A Special Farewell Episode
But before the curtain officially falls, CBS is treating fans to a special one-hour behind-the-scenes episode titled Blue Bloods: Celebrating a Family Legacy, airing on Friday, November 29. This episode promises to be a trip down memory lane, featuring exclusive interviews with the stars and recurring guest stars as they share favorite moments and behind-the-scenes stories from the past 14 years.
According to a CBS press release, this special episode is “a love letter to the loyal fans who joined the Reagan family every Friday night for dinner and helped maintain Blue Bloods as one of the top series on television.”
Reflecting on the Journey
It’s tough to say goodbye after 14 years of bringing the Reagan family into our living rooms. Showrunner Kevin Wade opened up about the decision to end the series in a May interview with TV Insider. “It’s like a band that’s been touring together for 14 years. Sometimes you just want to shake things up, you know? Let the drummer take the lead or the guitarist step up. Go at it,” he shared.

Kevin emphasized that, despite the end, the Reagans would remain true to their core values. “We’ve always aimed to peel back another layer of the characters. Since we’re a closed-end procedural and don’t have serialized storytelling, the only real changes we can make are in the characters and their deepest fears. I’m trying to craft the best stories to put two or more Reagans in opposition and resolve it by the end. And hopefully, in that resolution, they reveal something new about themselves,” he explained.
