Amy Carlson Breaks Silence On Blue Bloods Exit | News Flash | Entertainment Weekly

thought I'd missed an episode when she was taken out!? Very poorly dealt with, that's for sure! could've done it so much better than that if it had to be!!
Amy Carlson had such a pivotal role in humanising Donnie Wahlberg's intensity in the role of Danny. She offered an objective view into the almost obsessive fixation on being a cop in the Reagan family. She deserved a better 'send-off'. Yet if you look at most of Danny's and Jamie's partners, they all just 'disappeared'. I think the writers of "Blue Bloods' are brilliant. They just need to learn how to deal with the subject of grief, surely a big aspect of a cop's life. As for Amy, I remember her from 'Third Watch' and also loved her work on 'Blue Bloods'. I hope she moves to the big screen as she is an amazing talent.
Blue Bloods has actual former NYPD advisers. BTW, Amy chose to walk away from the "Third Watch" show also.
They didn't even ask her to come back so why wouldn't she leave? If they were interested in her staying they would have done everything they could have to keep her. She's a awesome actress that wasn't being utilized in the last 2 seasons. I am so disappointed that they didn't give her a better storyline and that they didn't give us, the fans, a chance to say good-bye to her character. They could have sent such a beloved character away much better than they did.
They did not ask her to come back to have a final episode. Not that they did not want her back at all.
She was the best female character they had. That grand daughter is so smart sassy and the only sister is not very likeable
She quit and then they didn't ask her back to finish her character, they just killed her off.
@@josiahmitchell8594 She gave notice that she would be leaving and would not renew her contract.
@@sergeantmasson3669 ok so like I said she quit and they didn't ask her to come back for any reason.
Disappointed that she left and that they did not end her story the right way.
themama471 I agree. I liked her on the show and thought it was shitty to end her time with an empty explanation to the fans.
Sad to see her leave the show she will be missed and wish her luck in her endeavor.
Leonard Gilbreath a good
We certainly miss her presence. It’s weird without her!
Yeah in UK We Fought it was Bad the Way it Ended .Silly TV Networks
Cheap shot to shock loyal fan base, like "see ya, hardly knew ya ..."
And yeah, they under utilized her character, relegated to fill a space at the family dinner table, tidbits of dialogue, and meaningful looks at hubby, kids--can't be a happy situation for an actor in a hit ensemble tv show.
For the most part, this was very surprising by the writers. Very surprising! They turned a good CONSISTENT show to pretty much a disappointment. I was very disappointed the way her character was handled. Nobody was grieving but Danny, his boys Jack and Sean were like ok, and moved on. Nobody else in the family grieved, not Frank, Pops, Erin, Nikki, or Jamie. That REALLY just flat out SHOCKED ME! I flat out hate the new mayor too.
Derek Mathews not crazy ab new show. Boring
Wait so it didn’t even show her death on the episode?
That is correct.
Was the lady just tired of playing 2nd fiddle to other lead female?
I cry when she left Blue Blood,
In the History of TV when something like this happens there is usually a lot more that went on behind the scenes. The people that run a show hardly ever really say a lot about the situation because it solves nothing and just makes fans mad. The only thing we usually hear is what the Actor says....and that turns in to a "he said she said" among cast and crew if they say anything at all. In the past situations like this have mostly boiled down to ..wanting more money more screen time or the Actor did not like the direction their character was going on the show. In the end ...its over and so we move on.😥
I honestly miss her a lot and wish her exit would have not been so drastic. Their lost sadly. I found it hard to continue watching it. Jeez killing off this mom was so mean
Bring Linda back
They do need to bring her back. I think her story line should have to do with being in witness protection.
It just came out of the blue, and their was no warning. This is the first time I'm disappointed in the Show BlueBloods. I hate when tv shows leave out good script ideas and put it off screen.
She decided to leave, so the story goes, well, WHY does she care HOW they handled it. Keep on moving down the road everyone !!!!
I agree with her. It was sort of lame to end her role at the dinner table so to speak. Amy is one great looking woman. Some of the writing is not so great, the deputy commissioner for instance, I can't believe such a square could really exist!
Did anyone else besides me notice that in the last couple of episodes of season 7, Linda was drinking water at sunday dinner instead of wine like rest? Or that she had gotten gaunt looking?
I don't get what you are implying @-@
Eddite. Nic I think he or she was saying maybe she (Amy) was pregnant during filming. Idk. The only reason I can think of as to why she was drinking water and not wine like everybody else.
Yeah they did Linda ( aka Amy Carlson ) dirty; they did Detective Curatola (aka Jennifer Esposito) dirty too! I’ll miss Linda on the shoe & I still miss detective Curatola, the way each situation ended was shady!
Cathy Lemke I agree with you. It's all about the family and the nepotism that is displayed! I liked her character. I actually thought that she and Danny would divorce.
Yeah months ago I purposely go and watch all these previous season look for reason why Detective Curatola had just exit the show. I heard her character only after sometimes I had watch Blue Bloods, because the first episode I discover this show is on season 5, and yet after I finished watching all the previous season I still couldn't get an answer why her character just disappeared after season 3? ? ? NO ANY EXPLANATION...?
I think she was in another major police/fireman tv series and her character was also killed off, to the surprise and shock of the audience.
She was on Third Watch as a paramedic and she was killed off that show too but we had a chance to at least say goodbye. Blue Bloods really did us wrong 😥
They can do a flash back with her dying… like have Danny at her grave, and he has a flash back with getting the news and seeing her at the hospital dying.
Just a thought that they could do
i didnt like the way blue bloods mishandled her departure.No scenes of the family at her grave site or funeral.
It hasn't been that good after her leaving
The show has been great with and without her
I don't like the story behind Linda's sudden death, on the show !! It should of been more personal, over few episodes, before she finally died from leukemia or some form of cancer, where the audience can grieve with her and her family. I will Miss Amy Carlson on the show very very much !!
Kool Look thank god it was sudden ..it’s to sad when people are sick.
Not sure what anyone was thinking when it came to ending Linda's life. To me she was as important as any in the show. Definitely the voice of reasoning and kept Danny grounded. Love this show much! Just broken-hearted over this un-wanted change.
Kool Look
🤗
Sorry she's gone :(
How did she die I missed that episode i was wondering where she at the dinner table.
My guess the reason Amy Carlson left was the same reason many of the fans find it hard to watch after season 7. They must have hired new writers because they went all out SJW liberal and destroyed the show! Get enough of that crap from the media it was nice to watch a show that didnt focus on it!
For a show that had an emphasis on Family... obviously not...
Well honestly, how do you beat how she was killed off Third Watch? Spoiler Alert: car exploded and she was cut in half.
I loved Amy as Linda and am not happy she is out. Failure to communicate, network. The show also stalled for me around season 5. I did not care for Great Grandpa. I was tired of Erin trying to convince someone to testify when they know and we know they will be killed for doing so. There’s no “I love you so much” or hugs with family. Did not like Tom having to argue with everyone in every episode. Linda was the difference in episodes.
We are busy on Friday nights and can not see the new Blue Bloods shows as they come on but we watch the reruns on ion every Wednesday and we enjoy spending the whole evening with the Reagans then. But, the reruns are not in order, and I kept saying to my husband: "WHERE IS LINDA, they never show Linda any more" Then one night a show came on with Danny saying, "I just can't do it without my wife - etc." Then we also noticed Linda wasn't at the dinner table any more, I was hoping maybe she had gone to stay with her parents for a while or something like that, so I asked Google where is Linda in Blue Bloods, and they wasn't even really sure, but when I asked again later, it replied possibly in a helicopter wreck she got killed. Well, I was SOOO disappointed she was killed and that they had her die in such a awful way, I was really disappointed the show didn't make it in better taste, but even now, I can't get over how she has just been dropped, they hardly ever even mention her, and her 2 sons, are as normal as ever, you would never know their mom was just killed in a awful accident and they seem to be just fine. So, Blue Bloods is a good show, but they have really screwed up on this part, it was very poor taste and disrespectful to Linda, and to us viewers. Then also, on the other hand, I wish Linda had not quit, but she was signed for 7 years, I wish she would have signed again, but they probably have a hard time signing for 7 years, you never know how your life will go for 7 years, they should have them sign for every year and then when they don't want to go another year, let them play out a part in how or why they go, that way it won't be so sudden and disappointing to us viewers. Linda was one of my favorites in the show, I always wished they showed more of her, it was very sad to see her go, especially in a horrifying way, it left me and I bet many others very upset and sad. AND, since she had to die, there is NO WAY she can come back if wanted. So, Blue Bloods, please be more considerate on how your cast has to leave the program and don't leave us hanging like they did with Linda :(
I watched Blue Bloods from the beginning..so mad at how they handled her death..I don't watch it any more. No concern for audience feelings and gave no time to be involved in grieving process...at ALL.. NOT EVEN ONE SHOW.
She had small part in the show but big recognition. It was very dumb decision to leave the show.
Myself and several fans of the first five seasons are finding it harder to tune in when it's just not as good as it wax
Plenty of sitcoms need extra characters👍
They kill off your character so there's no way you can come back
Actually the way they killed her off would be an interesting way to bring her back since it didn't actuall show her dying and Danny identifying her body, I think that actress was thinking that she should get a little more screen time which she hoped would equal more money time that they may not have been able to pay her for. But they've given her a window to come back in multiple ways
Next year will be. Last year
She looks like Paul newmans wife Joanne
Am I the only one who thinks that her sudden departure were forced!?
I don't follow Blue Bloods but the way they killed her off was a dick move. It would have been better to see her die on screen.
Pathetic way to end her role.
I see a lot of fans are disappointed by the way a death of a major character was handled but I think the way it was handled was actually brilliant. The suddenness, finality, and the way the information was revealed really forced the audience to deal with it much like we have to deal with a real death of someone close when it occurs, especially if it is unexpected. This is a bold move for a weekly drama and shows that the producers, writers, and cast have enough confidence in their audience to process this and maybe actually come to a better understanding of how death affects so many people. It was Amy Carlson's decision to leave but it is ingratitude to complain how the show handles the situation that they were given by her departure.
Who know s maybe she will come back we did not see her die maybe she his some hospital lost of memory or something
She left over money she wanted more from the back deal with a percentage of eveything
Linda was so annoying.
She does not come across as a very likable person. Just sayin….

One of the main reason that I loved Blood Blues was the respect and love that they showed each other "as a family". Tremendous roll model for families in our cultural today when there really isn't any good examples anywhere else. Spiritual, church going, trying to do what is right in whatever situation they found themselves in, plus, always eating together every Sunday and just visiting. I felt very cheated and very betrayed by how they handled Linda's demise. That was not the way their family has been built up by the writers and sold to us. I felt they were very hypocritical. I can actually say that it put a very bad taste in my mouth, and really no longer give it the time I used too. I have moved on to enjoy Hawaii Five O and possible MacGyver over BB's. Sorry, but what else would they do to us if they don't even care to take the time to it what it would take for their loyal fans to get through the grieving process. They showed me that they really didn't care.
She was too whiny. Glad she’s gone.
I'm so glad that she's gone. She's at best a "B" actress and will get some roles but I predict she'll be out ofthe business in3 years or will start doing nude roles to keeep working
Ok please
