I never understand how adding Lorraine Bracco to anything is a recipe for success.
Don't know how credible this is, but someone who claims to be a crew member on the show posted on facebook that is exactly what happened. Her contract was up, she wanted a raise, CBS made a counteroffer and she refused. Supposedly it came down to the last minute. It's interesting that the show and network were able to keep a lid on it, but couldn't do the same with Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park's exits on Hawaii Five-0. I liked Linda, but it seemed like she was barely in season 7. Maybe the actress didn't want to make a full time commitment to what had become a very part time role unless the network upped the money.I have to say without any concrete proof to the contrary, it has to be a contract dispute or fatigue with the role/series.
How about writing out Danny's two sons. Have they ever even had a story line?Lily wrote:Read that Linda's fast demise was due to a review re budget cuts. Amy Carlson posted a letter, thanking everyone for the time she had spent on Blue Bloods but gave no reason why she had left.
Agree with everyone who wondered when it was said Linda had died in a helicopter crash, if an episode had been missed. Strange way of doing things! Think a big mistake has been made by killing off Linda. If budgets had to be trimmed, one character they could easily have written out is Erin's daughter as she could have gone away to another college or university.
I've never seen her in any show before, but I think I agree with you.ConchRepublican wrote:I never understand how adding Lorraine Bracco to anything is a recipe for success.
She was Tony Soprano's Dr. in The Sopranos and prior to that I remember her opposite the great Sean Connery in Medicine Man.

She was okay in Goodfellas but so far I don't see any chemistry between her and Frank. I always loved when Bebe Neuwirth was on the show, there were sparks flying off of the tv screen when her and Tom had scenes together............ConchRepublican wrote:She was Tony Soprano's Dr. in The Sopranos and prior to that I remember her opposite the great Sean Connery in Medicine Man.

I agree about Bebe Neuwirth, that woman has chops.
I was trying to see if that ring on his right finger might have been a team ring. Mimi and Tom have such a history working together that I hope she has a recurring role..........MagnumsLeftShoulder wrote:So Mimi Rogers (aka Margo Perina) paints Frank Reagan's portrait as Magnum! LOL!
