It’s been a few years since fans have gotten an update regarding Donnie Wahlberg and Amy Carlson’s relationship. The last update came in 2020. On the upside, Wahlberg did seem just as (platonically) enamored with Carlson as before. During an interview with Country Living, Wahlberg revealed whether or not he and Carlson were on speaking terms. “I reach out to her and we stay in touch,” shared Wahlberg with the publication. “Trust me, Danny Reagan is still upset and Donnie Wahlberg misses her tremendously.” Wahlberg also revealed that he’d continued to miss her as a friend and a co-star. Furthermore, Wahlberg also drummed up a scenario in which Carlson could return. “Maybe we do a dream episode where Danny dreams she’s back, I don’t know,” he said.
However, whether or not Carlson would be open to returning is another story. Fortunately, Carlson wasn’t closed off to the idea in 2017. “Yeah, I think it’s been hard on the fans,” Carlson said about possibly returning to the series to Deadline. “I never wanted it to end that way, so I feel sad for the fans because everyone wants closure, and I hear that a lot from the fans. So of course I’d be open to that. Sure.” That said, a lot can change in seven years, so it’d be interesting to see if Carlson still feels that way today. After all, “Blue Bloods” is set to end with Season 14 in the fall of 2024, so she’d have to decide sooner rather than later.
