Bridget Moynahan Reflects on Saying Farewell to Erin Reagan
Let me tell you, saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it’s to something you’ve been a part of for over a decade. Bridget Moynahan, the talented actress who played Erin Reagan on the long-running hit show Blue Bloods, recently opened up about the bittersweet feelings she has about the series coming to an end. “I think we’re all a little disappointed,” she said in an interview with People on Thursday, September 12. “We’ve had such a great time. Everyone on set wants to keep going. It feels like losing a piece of ourselves.”
The Heartfelt Goodbyes
When a show like Blue Bloods wraps up after 14 seasons, it’s not just about the characters—it’s about the bonds formed between the cast and crew. Bridget shared how emotional it was to witness Donnie Wahlberg filming his final scene as Danny Reagan. “Tom Selleck was there too, holding onto my hands, just like a father figure,” she explained. It’s moments like these that remind us how real these connections are, even when they happen in the world of television.
She went on to express her gratitude for the incredible journey. “I’m truly thankful for everything we’ve experienced together,” Bridget said. “The cast became more than co-workers; we became family. And that’s something I’ll always treasure.”

What Fans Have Meant to the Cast
For 14 seasons, fans have tuned in every week to see the Reagan family gather around the dinner table, tackle tough cases, and navigate life’s ups and downs. Bridget knows how much this show has meant to its audience. “This was our daily lives for 14 years,” she reflected. “We’ve celebrated births, mourned losses, and shared every major milestone together. It’s been a remarkable journey, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our fans.”
Donnie Wahlberg Speaks Out
Donnie Wahlberg, who played Danny Reagan, also addressed the show’s conclusion during a concert. “We filmed what we believe to be the last season of Blue Bloods, and it’ll start airing in October,” he revealed. “But who knows? There might be something else on the horizon. Things are in motion, so maybe something amazing will happen.”
Donnie’s words gave fans hope that this isn’t necessarily the end. While no official spin-off has been announced yet, insiders say there’s been talk of creating made-for-TV movies or even bringing the series back in some capacity.
Why Blue Bloods Was Cancelled
The decision to cancel Blue Bloods came as a shock to many. According to an insider, CBS made the choice as a cost-cutting measure. “CBS ended the show because they needed to save money,” the source told Closer. “But Donnie’s right—there’s been discussion about keeping the franchise alive through movies or restarting the series.”
Tom Selleck, who portrayed the iconic Frank Reagan, wasn’t shy about his feelings regarding the cancellation. “We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast television. We’re winning the night,” he told CBS News in May. “All the cast wants to come back. We’re not falling off a cliff; we’re still delivering great shows. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”
Season 14: A Final Farewell
Season 14 of Blue Bloods was split into two parts. The first half aired earlier this year in February, and the second half is set to premiere on October 18. Tom made it clear that he was upset about CBS ending the show. In a statement released last November, he thanked the network and the fans for their unwavering support.

“For the past 13 years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City,” Tom wrote. “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors, and crew has been a dream come true. Thank you to CBS Studios and CBS Network for their steadfast support, and heartfelt gratitude to the fans who joined us for dinner every Friday night.”
Even though the show is ending, the legacy of Blue Bloods will live on in the hearts of its fans and the memories of its cast. As Bridget Moynahan said, “We’ve all experienced life together, and that’s something no one can take away from us.”
