Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) decided to become a full-time Bostonian in Episode 2 of Boston Blue on Friday, so what does that mean for his relationship with Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez)?

“Maria and I will figure it out,” Danny told his son, Sean (Mika Amonsen), in that October 24 episode, “Teammates.”

As it turns out, that figuring-out process will happen on screen. Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, the co-creators of the Blue Bloods spinoff, told TVLine that Ramirez — and, thus, Baez — will be a recurring presence in the spinoff’s first season.

“Tune into Episode 3,” Margolis said. “Baez will return — multiple times in the first season — and it’s a story we’re going to tell. The struggle of moving to a new place and what you leave behind is front and center, and that includes the relationship with Baez, which continues for multiple episodes this season.”

Margolis and Sonnier stopped short of confirming Baez would guest-star in Episode 3 — “History,” airing on Friday, October 31 — but Margolis told fans to “stick around till the end.”

So what about other Blue Bloods alums? Could we see other Reagans? Are we right that Frank (Tom Selleck) will turn up in Boston one of these days?

“We’re open to having as many Reagans as we can find come to this table — and vice versa,” Margolis told TVLine on the topic of future Blue Bloods imports. “We’re blessed that the Blue Bloods universe has so many rich characters to draw from, so there are a lot of opportunities. That’s about all I’m allowed to say.”

For her part, Ramirez previously told Us Weekly she thought it was “really, really sweet and generous and such a treat for all of the Blue Bloods fans” that the October 17 Boston Blue premiere showed Danny and Baez were happily together.

“The show could have just kind of walked away and said, ‘Oh, you know, Baez and Danny broke up. Big deal. Let’s move on,’” she said.

That said, Ramirez gave a warning about Baez being in New York City while Danny is in Boston: “You should always worry about long distance,” she said. “You never know what’s gonna happen. Always worry.”

    Despite my determination not to watch Boston Blue, my 10 pm Friday Reagan habit could not be denied. So I tuned in. The story was engaging, but my initial disappointment in the writing was confirmed. I finally realize the CBS dramas all come from the same script factory. Watch NCIS or any of the other dramas. The dialogue in each has the same rhythm, and the same simple declarative sentences, You either enjoy the comfort of the familiar or you grit your teeth and watch with annoyance. Or you don’t watch. I guess I still have enough loyalty to the Reagans to continue ( plus my daughter lives in Boston) and the teaser about Baez appearing next week will definitely bring me back. I wonder how many viewers, like me, are watching this show as a replacement for the well-loved Blue Bloods.

    I’ll take anything they give for Baez and Danny!! I’m really getting to like this show. Didn’t think that would happen. Just have to put Blue Bloods on the back burner for awhile
