‘Blue Bloods’ star Sami Gayle reveals what it was really like working with Bridget Moynahan

Sami plays Bridget’s on-screen daughter on the CBS drama.

Blue Bloods has been a staple of Friday night television since 2010, and it’s safe to say the Reagan family has had its ups and downs. An actress who joined the series when she was just 14 years old spoke up about her time on the show.

Sami Gayle played Nicky, the daughter of Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan), for the first 10 seasons of the CBS drama. On the show, Nicky left New York to move to San Francisco, and the actress, who was studying at Columbia University at the time, took the time to focus on her studies.

In an interview with Glitter magazine from 2020, Sami expressed what it was really like to work with her on-screen mother, Bridget. “Bridget was like an additional mother, and I am forever indebted to her for showing me what it means to be a graceful, kind, talented and independent woman,” Sami said. “Watching her over the years has helped me become a better actor. What I love most about our scenes is that they often deal with universal, mother-daughter experiences. I always left after gathering something about the situation I was in with my child.” real mother or have foresight about how to handle a situation in the future.”

Showrunner Kevin Wade has mentioned the possibility of Sami returning to the show. According to Express, he said: “Hopefully she’ll stop by.” He continued, “Sometimes the characters get older, in the sense that Nicky goes to college and then moves to San Francisco, and I realize, ‘We don’t have enough real estate to tell Nicky stories.’ But once it was long enough, it was almost like, ‘Well, we should at least take her back to have dinner with the family, at least to see Joe Hill.’ We were actually planning on doing it last season and I don’t think her schedule works with ours,” Kevin added.

While many fans are looking forward to Nicky’s return, it seems Sami’s schedule is packed. The actress revealed that she will star on Broadway in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s new musical, Bad Cinderella, starting in February.
