Why the Blue Bloods creators didn’t give Frank Reagan more romances

Some “Blue Bloods” fans might have enjoyed seeing Frank Reagan settle down with another lover before the show got canceled. However, the idea was never in the creators’ plans for the character. According to showrunner Kevin Wade, their main goal was to focus on his professional life, and that left little time to try and fit romances into the equation. “We didn’t discuss it much,” he told TV Insider. “The bar would be pretty high to be able to make a good Frank Reagan police commissioner story out of him dating. We tried it a couple of times with some success, but it wasn’t an area we visited a lot.”

Selleck previously stated that he is in no rush to move on from “Blue Bloods,” so he might be open to a return if CBS ever revives the crime drama. If that day comes, hopefully, he gets to explore Frank Reagan’s untapped romantic potential.
