‘Blue Bloods’: Bridget Moynahan Teases Erin’s Campaign & ‘Spark’ With Jack in Season 13
Fall Preview
In roles from police commissioner to street cop, the Reagan clan has always brushed up against politics on Blue Bloods. But in the drama’s 13th season, Trial Bureau chief Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) is going for full immersion: She makes a run for Manhattan district attorney against her boss, DA Kimberly Crawford (Roslyn Ruff)!
The actress previews Erin’s future.
Tell us about the premiere.
Bridget Moynahan: A frustrated Jamie [Will Estes] comes to see Erin because a man he arrested is back on the streets, which leads to him being in the line of fire. Erin feels guilty that her office keeps putting dangerous people back out there, but this time it hits home.
Which brings up the question, how does being the police commissioner’s daughter affect the race?
Erin has to come out of the gate with opinions — that may or may not be in line with the police department — so that the voters can see she’s not under the commissioner’s thumb.

What does her dad, PC Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck), think about her decision to run?
Frank puts out a statement without communicating with Erin, and she’s very much taken by surprise and has to figure out his true motive.
What are you looking forward to in this new chapter for Erin?
The different characters they’ll bring in to work on her campaign. There are good scenes with Crawford, who’s not shy about getting down and dirty in a fight.
And Erin’s ex-husband, Jack Boyle (Peter Hermann), is back.
He offers to introduce her to somebody with political and financial support. That opens the door to conversations that bring them closer, but now that’s she’s running for office, I think she’s waiting. Your private life is exposed no matter what it is.
They can’t hide their chemistry.
It’s a rare moment on Blue Bloods when you have a flirtation, so I’m happy we provide that bit of spark!

I think since they killed Linda off & made Danny a widower, the only 1 married, or has been in any relationship is Jaime. & it’s been that way for a few yrs now. They need to spice things up a bit in the relationship area. I had hoped they were going to get Danny & the character, (I 4get her name, but she was a psychic & on the show a few times). She even asked Danny on a date, & at 1st he rejected her. But later we saw them at a bar as on a date, & I thought that’s great! Hopefully we’ll have another couple in the making. But then that was it, & she hasn’t been back since! I was soo upset! They need a little something exciting in a couple of the family members life 2 spice that part of the show up again. So I would love as well to see Erin & Jack find their way back 2 each other! Supposedly he wasn’t really husband material back in their marriage, & he screwed up by having an affair. But over the yrs they have ran across each other from time to time, & seem to really hit it off. I think he’s grown up, & learned from his mistakes, & truly still cares for Erin, as she does for him. So I think it would be awesome if the writers would consider that. It would also be nice if Frank or Grandpa met some1 to share their lives with as well! The show has been on for many yrs now, & Danny & Jaime have been the only 1’s we’ve seen in a real relationship! It’s time for the others to have a chance, & I think it could really be good for the ratings!
