WHAT TO KNOW
*Danny Reagan was offered a promotion to sergeant detective in the Boston Blue Season 2 premiere, a move he was hesitant to make in Blue Bloods.

*Sonequa Martin-Green reveals how Lena Silver was involved in the promotion in a scene you didn’t see onscreen.

Sonequa Martin-Green and Donnie Wahlberg are protective of each other’s characters on Boston Blue. Martin-Green wants the Blue Bloods legacy preserved and respected, and Wahlberg wants the franchise’s new law enforcement family, the Silvers, honored. That said, Martin-Green is thrilled by Danny Reagan’s promotion to sergeant detective in Boston Blue Season 2 because it’s an evolution of the character that likely would have happened on Blue Bloods, had the show continued beyond Season 14.

Danny was offered a promotion in the Boston Blue Season 2 premiere by BPD superintendent Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson), but he was hesitant to accept it at first because Lena had been passed over for the promotion before; her boyfriend, Detective Brian Rodgers (Ryan Broussard), got the promotion she wanted. But the near-death experience from the Season 1 finale, followed by three months of rehab with Brian, changed Lena’s outlook on life.

Now, she wants to focus on doing her work well and has nothing to prove to herself or others. Martin-Green told TV Insider that Lena might want the promotion down the road, but she’s happy for Danny and gave Sarah her blessing to offer it to him. In fact, Sarah offered Lena the promotion first in a scene that wasn’t written but was discussed between the cast and writers….
