So the rumor is that “Blue Bloods” may need to make some changes if it wants to see a Season 14 – it hasn’t been canceled, as far as anyone knows, but it will likely have to dig deep and reduce its budget if it wants to keep its blood, which is blue, pumping.
On the r/BlueBloods site, fans of the Reagan family of law enforcement officials are having a heated debate about money.
The claim: “The show has to make cuts to get season 14,” according to original user u/xforce4life. The answer, at least in part, proposed by u/SimonMendelssohn: “Gramps could pass away.”
Speculative? Certainly. Does it make a difference in how decisions for the forthcoming 14th season of the hit CBS drama are made? No, it does not.
Is it a career blood sport to hang around on forums and speculate about which octogenarian actors should lose their salary, perks, and sense of professional purpose? Maybe. Perhaps a better way to think of it is as fantasy football for SAG-AFTRA members. The point is, if they had their way, some viewers would like to trim some of the Reagan family tree’s elder branches.
Blue Bloods fans are abandoning Pop.
Who is on the list of Reddit users who want to see Henry “Pop” Reagan (Len Cariou) pass away? It doesn’t stop with the people mentioned above. There’s also u/CAShark-7, who remarked audaciously, “I do believe it is time for Grandpa to pass away.” I’m sorry to see him leave, but his cancer would have affected him by now in the actual world.”
The character of former New York City police commissioner Henry Reagan has been an integral part of the Reagan family dynamic since the first episode of “Blue Bloods.” His departure would leave enormous shoes to fill, since he presented an old-world, several generations distant viewpoint on modern law enforcement and a dependably conservative point of view.
Still, time is a cruel mistress, and actors rarely get less expensive after working on the same program for more than a decade. Maybe it’s time to take Pop to his grandfather’s farm upstate, where there’s lots of room to run and no one ever points out John Wayne’s flaws.
