Blue Bloods Fans Still Heartbroken Over This Character Leaving The Show

Fans are still mourning the loss of Linda Reagan, a beloved character on "Blue Bloods."

The long-running CBS procedural drama "Blue Bloods" has seen its share of characters come and go, led by Tom Selleck as the steadfast patriarch, Frank Reagan. Along with Frank's children, Danny, Erin, and Jamie, the show has consistently delivered compelling storylines and thought-provoking family dinner scenes, but one departure still stings for many fans: the death of Linda Reagan, played by Amy Carlson.

Linda's off-screen death in a helicopter crash between Seasons 7 and 8 left fans upset and wanting a proper send-off.

Linda, the wife of Detective Danny Reagan and a nurse at St. Victor's Hospital, was a beloved character for seven seasons. Her tragic off-screen death in a helicopter crash between Seasons 7 and 8 left fans reeling and the character without a proper send-off.

Amy Carlson, who played Linda, has been touched by the outpouring of fan support and expressed her own sadness over the character's abrupt departure.

On the show's subreddit, fans continue to express their sadness over Linda's absence. Some miss her unique perspective as the only family member not in law enforcement, while others lament the way her death was handled. One fan commented, "She wasn't exactly my favorite character, but I hate how her character was killed off-screen."

Linda's unique perspective and relationship with Danny are still missed by many viewers

Amy Carlson, who left the show after her Season 7 contract expired, has been touched by the outpouring of fan support. In an interview with Deadline, she acknowledged the impact of Linda's death and expressed her own sadness that fans were unable to see a proper on-screen farewell for the character.

Linda's death was a significant loss for "Blue Bloods." Her character brought a unique perspective to the Reagan family dynamic, and her relationship with Danny was a fan favorite. While the show continues to be successful, her character may be gone, but she clearly hasn't been forgotten.
