Erin Reagan, portrayed by Bridget Moynahan, is a formidable yet just presence on “Blue Bloods” as the assistant district attorney, entrusted with ensuring that criminals face appropriate consequences for their actions.
Unlike her brothers, who often take to the streets to solve crimes, Erin spends most of her time in the office. However, she isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and get involved in the action when necessary, as evidenced by her carrying a pistol. Her father, Frank (Tom Selleck), even believes she surpasses her brothers in marksmanship with a rifle.
Despite her tough exterior, Erin has a sensitive side, particularly when it comes to her daughter Nicky (Sami Gayle), who resides in San Francisco and maintains regular contact with her mother.
One touching moment that showcases Erin’s softer side occurred in a memorable scene from Season 1 Episode 15, titled “Dedication.” The episode starts with Frank being ambushed and shot outside a restaurant. Rushed to the hospital, the Reagan family gathers anxiously around him.
Thankfully, Frank survives the ordeal, and upon their arrival at the hospital, he’s surprisingly alert and even cracking jokes. However, the gravity of the situation still hangs heavy over them all.
In a poignant display of familial love and concern, when the Reagans visit Frank in his hospital room, Erin leans down and gently kisses him on the forehead. It’s a simple yet profound gesture, showcasing the depth of affection within the typically stoic Reagan family.
For longtime viewers accustomed to the Reagans’ unwavering support for one another, this small but meaningful moment serves as a reminder of their strong familial bond, extending beyond their traditional Sunday dinner gatherings.
