They were feeling blue.
“Blue Bloods” stars Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg got emotional while they were filming the ending of their long-running procedural.
“On the last day, I was filming all my squad room scenes and it’s kinda like where I hold court as Danny Reagan, and Tom Selleck came in just to watch,” Wahlberg said on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.”
Wahlberg added, “When he shows up to watch you work and to be there to say goodbye to everyone.”
He added, “and like, I’m filming the scenes. I’m already emotional. I look across the room and I see him. He’s really tall, and he’s standing above everyone in the back corner just watching with tears in his eyes. It just was like the waterworks turned on. I could literally cry just thinking about it.”

“Blue Bloods” has run for 14 seasons, premiering in 2010. The series finale is set to air on an unannounced date in December.
Wahlberg continued to say that he “felt tremendous gratitude, not saditude, but everyone cried. Everyone was crying, of course. The last day was heartbreaking.”
In November of 2023, CBS announced that “Blue Bloods” would end after 14 seasons.

The stars have all slammed the decision, including Selleck, 79.
In May, he told “CBS Mornings” that losing his paycheck may cost him his 63-acre ranch.
“You know, hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” he said, referring to the ranch.
“Seriously, that’s an issue? If you stopped working?” host Tracy Smith asked.
“That’s always an issue,” Selleck said. “If I stopped working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”

That same month, he also told “Town & Country” that he still holds out “hope that CBS will come to their senses,” referring to the cancellation of “Blue Bloods.
“I’m kind of frustrated,” Selleck told TV Insider earlier this month.
He pointed out that the cop show has been a constant at CBS for over a decade.
“During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for ‘Blue Bloods’ but about it still being wildly successful,” he said.
The “Magnum, P.I.” star added that while he doesn’t believe in “holding grudges” and isn’t “going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’” he’s against the choice to pull the plug on the show.

“If you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe,” said Selleck.
“My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go.”
He continued, “So how do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out. I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said, ‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’ Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.
“Blue Bloods” currently airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m.
