So the rumor is that “Blue Bloods” may need to make some changes if it wants to see a Season 14 – it hasn’t been canceled, as far as anyone knows, but it will likely have to dig deep and reduce its budget if it wants to keep its blood, which is blue, pumping.
On the r/BlueBloods site, fans of the Reagan family of law enforcement officials are having a heated debate about money.
The claim: “The show has to make cuts to get season 14,” according to original user u/xforce4life. The answer, at least in part, proposed by u/SimonMendelssohn: “Gramps could pass away.”
Speculative? Certainly. Does it make a difference in how decisions for the forthcoming 14th season of the hit CBS drama are made? No, it does not.
Is it a career blood sport to hang around on forums and speculate about which octogenarian actors should lose their salary, perks, and sense of professional purpose? Maybe. Perhaps a better way to think of it is as fantasy football for SAG-AFTRA members. The point is, if they had their way, some viewers would like to trim some of the Reagan family tree’s elder branches.
Blue Bloods fans are abandoning Pop.
Who is on the list of Reddit users who want to see Henry “Pop” Reagan (Len Cariou) pass away? It doesn’t stop with the people mentioned above. There’s also u/CAShark-7, who remarked audaciously, “I do believe it is time for Grandpa to pass away.” I’m sorry to see him leave, but his cancer would have affected him by now in the actual world.”
The character of former New York City police commissioner Henry Reagan has been an integral part of the Reagan family dynamic since the first episode of “Blue Bloods.” His departure would leave enormous shoes to fill, since he presented an old-world, several generations distant viewpoint on modern law enforcement and a dependably conservative point of view.
Still, time is a cruel mistress, and actors rarely get less expensive after working on the same program for more than a decade. Maybe it’s time to take Pop to his grandfather’s farm upstate, where there’s lots of room to run and no one ever points out John Wayne’s flaws.

Keep Henry Reagan
I agree. Keep Henry Reagan on the show.
Grandpa Reagan is absolutely a major part of the Reagan family. Should he pass from this life, we will miss him terribly. But, don’t do something that radical until necessary!!! Love this show.
We love everyone on that show. Don’t cut anyone please!
We love this show and the qualities it demonstrates like family, faith, honesty, caring, and much more. Please keep the best show ever for many more seasons.
I agree need to keep the best show on tv
All of the original characters should remain. Money isn’t everything🤑
I agree with you. This is a great show. I will miss it when it is not on tv..
Keep Henry
This is the most popular TV show in the country right now. The fan base is huge because it’s popularity. Everybody has favorites on this show like me. I know some people on this show wants to retire & I respect that totally! When you remove some characters on this show, things are not the same anymore. If I had some ideas to keep the show going after this season I would gladly give them to you! This is like a second family to me! God Bless You, for a great season I will soon be watching.
I agree. This a great show. Its one of my favorite shows.
Don’t eliminate anyone from the cast but bring in some romance with the widows in the family. That would open up lots of fun and romance while still keeping law enforcement in the story line.
widowers not widows
Definitely keep Grandpa. He is an important part of the show. You just can’t take him away.
I love this show and search stations to even find reruns. Henry needs to stay! Find the funds!
Love the show. Love the family. Love the morals and values, which is lacking in other shows. Plus the episodes depict the struggles that we see everyday in modern society. Lots of situations where you walk a fine line. Keep it going!
The grandpa is a very important member of the family/storyline. My thought is for the cast to be the ones to pay, & keep the show going🤑It is the best show on t.v., with a great cast🤩
Keep Grandpa Henry Reagan. I think he makes a big difference in the show. He’s smart and helpful.
I would make a program titled “The Commissioner’s Children.” The end of season 14 would be Frank’s retirement and the beginning of the new program would be with Baker as commissioner and follow the same line with the other characters. There is no reason to end a good program concept.
Jamie and Eddie have a baby. Don’t cut the family.
