‘Blue Bloods’ Season 12 Finale: Who’s the Latest Dinner Guest? (PHOTOS)

The list of non-Reagans who have joined the family at Sunday dinner is a small one, but with the Blue Bloods Season 12 finale, it’s growing by one.

In “Silver Linings,” airing May 6, as the photos reveal, Anthony Abetemarco (Steven Schirripa), who works as an investigator at the D.A.’s office, often with Erin (Bridget Moynahan), has scored that coveted invite. What will lead to that? We’ll have to wait and see, but it isn’t too surprising to see that Joe Hill (Will Hochman), the late Joe Reagan’s son and Frank’s (Tom Selleck) grandson, is also present for the dinner, given that the logline reveals he’s working with his uncles, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie (Will Estes).

In the Season 12 finale, Jamie and Joe’s search for an undocumented, trafficked teenage girl converges with Danny and Baez’s (Marisa Ramirez) investigation into the murder of a woman in witness protection. Also, Frank and Erin butt heads when he calls out the district attorney’s office for instituting a new rule that classifies armed robbery as a misdemeanor, a mandate that has immediate ramifications for Eddie (Vanessa Ray) and her partner.

Sunday dinner is usually limited to members of the Reagan family — blood relatives and those who have married in. For example, Eddie’s first dinner was when she and Jamie announced their engagement. Erin’s ex-husband Jack (Peter Hermann) attended one (which he didn’t have to since he didn’t lose the bet). As for attendees not related to a Reagan by blood or marriage, Anthony joins Baez and Frank’s former partner Lenny (Treat Williams).

    I'm a big Tom Selleck fan, especially in Blue Bloods and the Jesse Stone movies. (Will there ever be another? Books are still coming out!) The whole cast is great in Blue Bloods and the announcement of a new season was very welcome news. The concept of family is always a great basis for a TV series.

    Who thinks Danny and Baez should become a couple

    1. G

      GreenPalmtree

      They seem to have sibling relationship to me

    2. O

      OliveProcessor

      I totally agree!

      1. G

        GreenPalmtree

        Still miss Jackie.

        Letting her go - BIG MISTAKE

    3. P

      PurpleGlasses

      No!! They should bring back his partner before Baez, they would be a great couple

      1. R

        RedElephant

        I agree 100%! I hate him & Baez as a couple! There’s no chemistry at all but there def was with his 1st partner. I’m gonna be pissed if they try to put Erin & Anthony together. 🤬🤢🥴🤮🤯

    4. C

      CyanCoathanger

      I love their chemistry together. I don’t like that psychic character. Danny and Baez are a good couple together. She stands up to him!

  10. G

    GoldMustache

    We just adore the cast and are locked into the adventures each week. Joe Hill adds so much to the family. Anthony, well he belongs at the table. I recently lost my Mother at the age of 96 and I know she liked the show. So many thanks.

  11. G

    GoldPizza

    What about Nickie and Danny's older son joining once in awhile? Tey do get vacations sometime. I love the show, I record it so I don't miss an episode.

  12. G

    GreenPalmtree

    I love it. Now when will Frank, Danny, Erin or even Granpa get a love interest? It's about time for this wonderful family to experience some new love life in their lives.

    1. B

      BlueSnow

      I think Erin will never get over Jack. Put them back together. I think Nicki would be in heaven.

    We Love this show! Been watching since the beginning. The only thing we've wondered is, why do they shoot Frank's Office SO dark! The lighting is Not realistic for an Office! LOL

  23. O

    OrangeWeights

    I love the show all of them

    Can't wait till Friday's.

    Love all the The Reagan's

  24. O

    Love this show

    I think that we saw more physical evidence of sex with Jamie’s first fiancé and out of town girlfriend than with Eddie. For a young married couple who have been so crazy about each other for so long, they should surely look more hot for each other. I’m not talking 

    X-Rated, just some reality for young, in love, and hot for each other. Marital problems (or indifference) doesn’t fit.

    I read that they would be having problems, but BAD decision. We (the fans) have waited & watched and anticipated them finally being together for so long that we have totally embraced this relationship. To go from HOT to lukewarm overnight is not believable and a huge disappointment for fans.

    Another thing - we saw Eddie save Jamie’s life - it dawns on them what it could mean to do life without each other, they embrace in middle of the street & show up “engaged” the next morning at Sunday dinner. Danny even emphasized “Oh, you got engaged Last Night!”

    Then a few episodes later, they are at miniature golf course & Jamie mentions that’s where he asked her to marry him.

    Writers need to keep in mind how totally involved we (the fans) are in this show & every detail about the characters & their relationships.

  26. O

    OliveBullhorn

    Best show ever!!!! I would love for them to bring Jackie back though, she was so believable as a lady detective. Miss her so much.

  27. O

    OliveFan

    How about a love interest for Frank?

  28. O

    OlivePaw

    We are certainly looking forward to this dinner at the Reagan’s. This is our favorite show and has been since it’s debut. We feel as though we know these folks personally. The writing and cast are both superb. We are delighted the show has been renewed!

  29. G

    GoldPuzzle

    Thank you for another awesome season. I love to watch a family stay strong even and work through problems but still love and respect each other.

  30. J

    Jena

    Who cares about their "love interests"?? Erin and Anthony??? Get real!!! Danny can maybe start seeing someone, but NOT the psychic lady. Forget her, she's not a good character.

  31. R

    RedPalmtree

    One of the best shows on television

  32. G

    GreenPalmtree

    Best show on tv! Watch reruns on top of reruns!! Great acting and great characters!

    1. G

      GreenPalmtree

      Would like to see Jamie & Eddie with less conflict. They’re a young newlywed couple. Let’s see more romance.

      We didn’t wait all these years for them to be together so we could see daily conflict. How about they support each other in conflicts with others.

  33. B

    BlueBoomerang

    I have been a fan of Blue Bloods since season one! Best show on television.

  34. C

    Died in a medical helicopter crash.

  35. G

    GoldCorn

    I love to see the dinner seens and all the different guests they have over. Even though is television I wish more families could have dinner with hard conversations and still love each other in the.

    I’m going to miss Eddie I believe her and Jamie make a beautiful couple. I like the she handle herself on the show.

  36. C

    CyanScissors

    My favorites episodes are the ones with Joe Hill.

    But I do enjoy the whole program and no matter where

    I go when I come home I always make time to watch it.

    Thank you for the show.

    Carmen ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    OrangeLamp

    I read that Jamie’s wife is leaving the show next year ?!

    1. R

      RedToast

      Just rumors. There's plenty of available stories for her character, nothing has been announced and nothing new is on her radar work-wise.

  47. A

    Allison Williams

    This is my go-to comfort show. I have been working my way through from Season 1 on Hulu. My only concern is how much whiskey is consumed both to be sociable and for therapy. No one in the Reagan clan can just chat without a drink in their hand.

  48. C

    CyanBucket

    Never missed a show since it began but I would like to offer a small criticism. They have the worst table manners ever at Sunday dinner. Elbows on the table, pushing food around the plate, talking with their mouth full. There was Irish on both sides of my Army family but Mom would be horrified at how they get through a meal. Pick it up guys - the Moms are watching!

  49. R

    RedToast

    It would be good to see Danny and Baez get together. She would make him a good wife!

  50. O

    OliveTooth

    I’ve been expecting that that Erin And Anthony become a couple

  51. G

    GoldPuzzle

    I would love to see Erin and Anthony have a relationship.

  52. P

    PurplePizza

    I wish Abigail and Frank would fall in love, and Erin and Anthony.

    1. B

      BlueSnow

      Abigail has a husband.

    2. J

      Jena

      Oh, ICK!! Both of those pairings sound horrible.

    3. G

      GreenPalmtree

      Abigail is married. Her husband got shot but recovered.

  53. C

    Total corniness
