Donnie Wahlberg’s Unexpected Keepsake
When Blue Bloods wrapped, Donnie Wahlberg 
who brought Detective Danny Reagan to life walked away with more than just memories. He took home the iconic Reagan family dining table, which appeared in countless episodes.

Hawk also hinted that there are still untold stories about her character and the Blue Bloods universe, leaving fans hopeful that the Reagan family might return in some form.
The Realities of the Iconic Family Dinner
One of the most memorable aspects of Blue Bloods is the Reagan family dinner scenes but eating on camera is far more complicated than it appears. Tom Selleck (Frank Reagan) admitted to a clever trick: he would butter his rolls to avoid overeating during long takes. Bridget Moynahan (Erin Reagan) mashed her food to make it look like she was eating while avoiding the awkwardness of chewing on camera. Donnie Wahlberg, always conscious of staying in shape especially while preparing for his New Kids on the Block tours often stuck to just vegetables during these scenes.
These little tricks allowed the actors to maintain the illusion of a cozy family meal while staying camera-ready, making the dinner table moments look effortless to viewers.
Saying Goodbye
The final days of filming were deeply emotional for the cast. Donnie Wahlberg and Tom Selleck both expressed sadness at leaving behind a show that had become such a big part of their lives. Over the years, the cast had grown incredibly close, and wrapping up this significant chapter was not easy. Fans could feel the weight of these goodbyes, knowing that the bond among the actors mirrored the closeness of the Reagan family we’ve come to love on screen.
