Why Amy Carlson Had To Leave Blue Bloods

Season 8 of "Blue Bloods" began airing on CBS in September 2017 with a bombshell of a revelation. Amy Carlson, who played Linda Reagan on the popular police drama would not be returning. Carlson's contract ended at the wrapping of Season 7, according to Deadline, and Carlson herself was actually the one who decided not to renew that contract. However, everyone involved in the show seemed to feel that Linda's last episode left a lot to be desired in the terms of killing off a character. 

In an interview with Deadline, the actor opened up about her own disappointment at how the death of her character was handled. "I feel badly that she dies the way she dies. I did not know they would do that, I was surprised. I wouldn't have done that," she said, adding that she would be open to coming back for a flashback if producers wanted to do that. "I think it's been hard on the fans. I never wanted it to end that way, so I feel sad for the fans because everyone wants closure, and I hear that a lot from the fans."
