Blue Bloods goes through mayors like beat cops go through shoes. Which means this year the CBS police procedural is getting a new one. This season, Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) is going up against Dylan Walsh.
According to Deadline his recurring storyline will be, “A pragmatic businessman who rose up through honest ingenuity and keen instincts, he took on the office as a means to ‘give back’ to the City where he was raised in the disappearing middle-class and from which he launched his enormously successful career. In his first story, he approaches Erin (Bridget Moynihan) with an offer to back her in a run for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, confident in his appraisal of her as someone he can work with to deliver the promises (socially liberal, fiscally conservative) he ran his campaign on. But the lines between ‘work with’ and ‘work for’ are clearly blurred in his conception, and Erin must weigh her ambitions against this charismatic and persuasive one-man sales force.”
How will it all work out? If Lorraine Bracco couldn’t get the job full time, then I doubt Walsh will be able to. Which is why we tune to Blue Bloods every week, to see how the police commissioner shows all of these mayors he is the one in charge.
The drama returns Friday, September 27th.
