In a shocking twist, fans of “Blue Bloods” tuned into the season eight premiere on Friday, September 29 of the venerable CBS drama series only to learn that Amy Carlson (ex-Josie Watts Sinclair, “Another World”) had concluded her run as Linda Reagan. Carlson’s departure was revealed during a therapy session for her character’s husband, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), as he discussed losing his wife following a horrific helicopter crash while on the job.
