While Wahlberg is the only original cast member carrying over from Blue Bloods, fans will be delighted to see several recognizable names from Danny’s past pop up throughout this spinoff’s kickoff, marking a nostalgic return.
Sean Reagan (Played by Mika Amonsen)
The first character we’re introduced to in Boston Blue is none other than Sean Reagan—Danny’s son. A fan favorite from Blue Bloods, Sean brings a refreshing take as he’s now portrayed by actor Mika Amonsen, taking over the role from Andrew Terraciano.
In the opening sequence, Sean is seen chatting with his buddy, Jonah Silver, played by Marcus Scribner, amidst a friendly gathering. Their humorous banter, which reference Bruce Springsteen, quickly turns serious as they rush into a burning building to assist trapped residents.
Courageously helping victims, Sean faces a dramatic injury as flames propel him through a glass door, sending him into the hospital where he remains unconscious for a significant part of the show, only waking towards the end.
Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez)
In a tense moment, Danny learns of Sean’s accident while in a seemingly relaxed moment at home with his partner, Maria Baez. Their relationship was always strictly professional during their time on Blue Bloods, but a crucial scene hints that they might have explored a romance after the series ended—Danny’s line addresses a playful boundary they’d likely set respecting their professional past.
Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan)
One of the surprise appearances comes from Danny’s sister, Erin Reagan, who has worked hard as an Assistant District Attorney back in New York. She turns up in Sean’s hospital room offering vital support to her brother as his son’s situation escalates.
Proving familial bonds run deep, there’s a heartwarming exchange between Danny and Erin that solidifies her role in his support system during tough times. Erin’s commitment to ensure her brother’s well-being draws parallels to their dynamic seen in Blue Bloods, especially as they go through similar family moments over dinner as seen in the earlier series.
As the story unfolds, their discussions provide insight as they work not only to handle the immediate crisis but further digs into the emotional baggage that both carry surrounding family struggles and their relentless pursuit of justice.
Overall, the Boston Blue premiere certainly manages to deliver nostalgia while setting the stage for new storylines that audiences will undoubtedly be anticipating. Don’t miss how this Sharon struggles to comprehend everything happening around them in their respective lives.
