00:00I think they stand in the doorway of possibility.
00:05And that's not me diverting it.
00:07I think there's a really special scene
00:10that Danny and Grandpa Reagan share.
00:12And I think it definitely foreshadows
00:16where Danny's life can go after the show.
00:18And the first time he mentions it is with bias.
00:22And it's really up to the audience
00:25to sort of imagine where they're gonna go.
00:26But I think, look, I think whatever happened
00:31with them had to happen after Blue Bloods
00:35because it's true.
00:39You know, if Danny and Bias, look,
00:41they didn't get along for a long time as partners
00:44and she really helped get him to evolve
00:47and change and become a better guy
00:50and in turn a better detective
00:52and he was already a good one.
00:53But I think if they started dating on the show
00:56with five years left or something,
00:58it just would have been about the dating.
01:00And we would have then had to make them
01:02start not getting along again to keep it interesting.
01:06And, you know, and that's the easier story lines
01:11to write is conflict, right?
01:12So it just would have been a lot of conflict.
01:15And I think I really enjoyed the arc
01:17that we shared together with Danny and Bias
01:21as them evolving as friends and partners
01:24and building a real love and respect for each other
01:28that didn't really have to turn into a relationship.
01:31I love the character of Danny Reagan.
01:33It's been one of the great highlights of my career
01:37is to have gotten to play that character.
01:40You know, to play him without the rest of the Reagans
01:43or in some spinoff, it would need to be done carefully
01:48and with a lot of consideration
01:49for the last 14 years of the show.
01:52But I love the character,
01:54and I certainly thought there were a lot more stories
01:57that we could tell with him.
01:58So I'm not saying there will be a spinoff.
02:02I'm just saying I haven't closed the door on the character
02:05or on somehow, even if there is something for Danny,
02:08somehow incorporating some of the Reagans into that too
02:12and some of the other characters from Blue Bloods.
02:13It's a legacy show, and I think people still want it
02:18and they want more.
02:19And of course I'm open to that.
