Donnie Wahlberg Grateful for Blue Bloods as Show Approaches Season 14 Finale

Donnie Wahlberg Reflects on Blue Bloods Ending After Season 14: Feeling Grateful

As the countdown to the conclusion of Blue Bloods continues, Donnie Wahlberg, who has won the hearts of fans for over a decade portraying Danny Reagan, shares his thoughts on the show coming to a close after 14 seasons. In a recent interview, he expressed that he feels “not sad” about the end, but rather “incredibly grateful” for the journey he’s experienced on the show.

Wahlberg, now 55, took a nostalgic look back at his early days, recalling shopping trips with his mother when he was a child. He fondly mentioned how he once admired the TV Guide at the grocery store checkout, longing to buy it but unable to afford it. Now, he finds himself featured on the cover of a special edition of TV Guide Magazine alongside Tom Selleck and his co-stars.

Reflecting on the show’s finale, he acknowledged how certain events in life can shift perspectives beyond work and career. Wahlberg hinted at exciting developments for his character in the final episodes, addressing longstanding questions from fans.

He also touched on a potential romance storyline between his character, Danny Reagan, and Maria Baez, noting that while the idea has been discussed among fans, it was not always a focus for the writers. Given the emotional weight of Danny’s past loss, he believes viewers have been understandably cautious about a new relationship. Yet as the series draws to a close, he sees an evolving bond between the characters, promising that the final episode will evoke both smiles and tears.

Despite speculation about a possible spinoff series, CBS has yet to confirm any plans. Wahlberg remains open to the future, expressing his love for the show and the characters. He mentioned the various spinoff concepts that have circulated, emphasizing that as long as any continuation captures the same essence and spirit of Blue Bloods, he would be excited to be involved.

As Blue Bloods moves toward its finale, Wahlberg’s reflections serve as a testament to a memorable chapter in television history, celebrating the impact of the beloved series while looking forward to what lies ahead.
