Bridget Moynahan’s Surprising ‘Blue Bloods’ Decision: The Real Story Behind Her Almost Passing on Erin Reagan
Despite its massive success, “Blue Bloods” star Bridget Moynahan initially rejected her role as Erin Reagan. It took her co-star Donnie Wahlberg’s personal plea—and a unique promise—to change her mind. Wahlberg was so confident in the show’s potential that he humorously offered Moynahan his paychecks to ensure they could shoot in New York. His persistence paid off, and Moynahan has since become synonymous with her character, even co-authoring a “Blue Bloods” cookbook. Reflecting on the close-knit cast, Moynahan shares how they became an instant family from day one, solidifying the perfect ensemble we can’t imagine any other way.
