The cast of the popular TV series "Blue Bloods" has recently revealed the real reasons behind their decisions to leave the show. The show, which follows the lives of a multi-generational family of New York City police officers, has seen several cast members depart over its 11-season run.

Amy Carlson, who portrayed Linda Reagan, the wife of Tom Selleck's character Frank Reagan, said her decision to leave was not planned in advance. Despite being a main character on the show, Carlson made a sudden exit in the season 8 premiere when her character was tragically killed off. The reason behind her departure was apparently about contract negotiations gone wrong, which left her feeling undervalued and unappreciated.

Jennifer Esposito, who portrayed Jackie Curatola, a detective and partner to Donnie Wahlberg's character Danny Reagan, also left the show abruptly. She cited health issues as the main reason for her departure, but rumors circulated that she had been fired due to her struggle with Celiac Disease. Esposito claims she was mistreated during her time on the show and that her departure was not of her own choosing.

The youngest member of the Reagan family, Sami Gayle, who played Nicky Reagan-Boyle, decided to leave "Blue Bloods" to pursue her studies. She wanted to attend college and felt that balancing her studies with the demands of the show would be too challenging.

Gayle expressed her gratitude for the experience and the opportunity the show provided her.

Actress Amy Carlson later revealed that she was not the only one feeling undervalued and unhappy on set. Several crew members had similar experiences, citing long working hours with little time for personal lives. The cast and crew also faced difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which added to the stress and likely contributed to the decisions to leave.

Despite the departures, "Blue Bloods" has managed to continue its success and maintain a loyal fan base. The show has introduced new characters to fill the void left by the departing actors, and the Reagan family remains at the center of the crime drama.

Although viewers were sad to see some of their favorite characters go, the show continues to thrive with its remaining cast members and compelling storylines.

Overall, the reasons behind the departures from "Blue Bloods" varied, including contract disputes, health issues, pursuing further education, and discontentment on set. However, the show has managed to overcome these challenges and continues to captivate audiences with its engaging storyline and talented cast.
