Fans of “Blue Bloods” are looking forward to the new season, but one subplot is generating quite a stir: the prospective romance between Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) and Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez).
While some fans are pulling for the couple, others are strongly against it. Despite their long-standing collaboration and connection, some viewers are concerned about preserving the professional dynamic, which could detract from the show’s basic focus on family and law enforcement.
As rumor grows, the fans remains divided on whether Danny and Baez should take their relationship to the next level.
Even The Show’s Creators Agree That Baez And Danny Should Not Date.
In recent weeks, one Reddit thread has gained a lot of attention. “Am I the only one who doesn’t want to see Danny and Baez get together?” asked user r/Powerful_Factor1887, sparking a heated debate among fans.
There are a few dissenters who think Baez and Danny would be great together, but the majority strongly disagree. They want to keep things professional because of their age difference, the fact that a similar storyline was already done with Jamie (Will Estes) and Eddie (Vanessa Ray), and their admiration for the two characters’ platonic relationship.
According to an interview with TV Insider, it appears that the anti-shippers will get their wish. When writer and showrunner Kevin Wade mentioned how little “real estate” exists in re-hashing that trope within the same show, especially between Baez and Danny, all hopes were dashed.
“There really aren’t stories in happy couples,” he said, implying that the happily-ever-after storyline desired by some fans would be a snooze fest in subsequent seasons.
It could be a neat little bow to tie up their story as a series finale storyline. But, with no end in sight for the show, this may not be the right time – if there ever is a “right” time – for these characters to meet.
