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.

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.
