blue bloods usweekly’s Marcus Scribner explained why he was not satisfied with the end of season 1.
“I don’t want to say it’s satisfying or satisfying — but I wasn’t satisfied because I wanted more,” Scribner, 26, said with a chuckle as he spoke to himself. Us Weekly. “I can’t say why, but it was a very happy ending.”
Scribner noted that audiences will learn “a lot more about” his character, Jonah, before the season ends, adding, “We get cool pairings, which is really bad. We change things up a bit and [have] and other fun guest stars, which I know a lot of people are interested in.”
Despite the need for more, Scribner called the upcoming ending a “grand” ending. “It just left me wanting more,” he concluded.
Before Boston Blue, Blue Bloods followed the life of the Reagan family, most of whom worked for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Le Cariou), was also the center of the show, along with Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced the end. Wahlberg’s character is at the center of the spinoff, which begins as a former NYPD officer takes a position with the Boston Police Department. He then accompanies detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter in a well-known legal family.
“I had never watched Blue Bloods before joining Boston Blue, but I heard a ton about it from my relatives. It’s been a cultural trend for years and years. I – of course – had heard about the show, and then I started diving into it,” said Scribner. “Then getting to know Donnie even more — and seeing how different he is from Danny Reagan — is crazy.”
He continued: “Taking some of those elements from Danny Reagan, I was trying to put them into my character, Jonah Silver, who is so hot as Danny. He goes against what he thinks is right, which has been really fun.”
Joining i Blue Blood universe – and introducing the Silver family – allowed Scribner to push himself as an actor.
“It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve just rediscovered myself as an actor. I feel like for a while I was trying to push myself aside and do something different,” she told us. “But it’s been a lot of fun settling into this atmosphere.”
Scribner credited his Boston Blue costars for encouraging him, sharing, “Acting is amazing because it’s so accepting. So being on the show and being around these amazing actors is great because you don’t have to do any work. I just listen to them, and it really creates this feeling in you and you just get to respond.”
He concluded: “It’s a lot of fun. It’s been really challenging and cool to do a lot of physical stunts and all that stuff. I’ve been involved in car chases lately – explosions – and all this crazy stuff. So it’s been really cool.”
Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 pm ET. New episodes air the next day on Paramount+.
