As the first season of the Blue Bloods spin-off Boston Blue continues, fans have been wondering if Marisa Ramirez's character Maria Baez will make the move from New York to Boston to be closer to her boyfriend Danny Reagan, played by Donnie Wahlberg. In a recent interview, the show's creators Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis hinted that the possibility is on the table, with Sonnier stating "That is a distinct possibility, yes" and Margolis adding "Crazier things have happened."

Why it matters

Fans have been eager to see more of the Danny and Baez relationship since the two characters got together in the Blue Bloods series finale. Having Baez move to Boston full-time would allow for more screentime between the couple and open up new storytelling possibilities, including potential interactions between Baez and other Boston-based characters.

The details

Baez has only appeared in bits and pieces on Boston Blue so far, as she is still based in New York while Danny has permanently relocated to Boston. The long-distance nature of their relationship has been a challenge. The show's creators say that Baez moving to Boston is a real possibility, though they stopped short of confirming it will definitely happen.

  • Boston Blue has been renewed for a second season.
  • Marisa Ramirez is set to return as Baez in the show's 15th episode, airing in April.
