Blue Bloods Is Bringing A Major Former Star Back To Donnie Wahlberg's Danny In Season 13 Finale

Danny Reagan in Blue Bloods

The Season 13 finale of Blue Bloods is coming up, and fans surely have plenty of questions as it approaches. One of the biggest arguably pertains to Danny Reagan and Maria Baez’s potential romance. However, amid that speculation, it's been reported that the series is welcoming back a major character that fans have probably missed. Jennifer Esposito, who portrayed Detective Jackie Curatola during the cop procedural’s first three seasons, is coming back and reuniting with her former on-screen partner! 

Danny and Jackie, who is now Chief of Police, will be brought back together by a case, according to TVLine. The two, along with Baez, will team up to track down a murderer, whose work is similar to that of serial killer Dr. Leonard Walker. This is a very big surprise, as Jennifer Esposito exited the series back in 2012, meaning it's been over a decade since she last portrayed Jackie. Nothing else has been revealed about the actress’ return, though CBS did share a sweet behind-the-scenes photo that shows Esposito on the set with Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez.
