The main cast of Blue Bloods has remained pretty consistent throughout the show's history, with familiar faces like Tom Selleck signing on for each new season year after year. But last fall, fans were shocked by the abrupt departure of actress Amy Carlson. Here's a breakdown of everything that happened around the death of her beloved character Linda Reagan.

Amy Carlson as Linda Reagan on Blue Bloods

Amy starred as Linda Reagan, the wife of Danny Reagan and mother of Jack and Sean Reagan. After taking some time off to be a stay-at-home mom, she returned to work as an ER nurse at St. Victor's Hospital in New York City. Linda first appeared in the show's pilot episode and remained as a main character throughout the seasons, as the show explored her occasionally tense but loving relationship with Danny.

Though Linda didn't work in the line of duty like her husband, she's had more than one run-in with death over the years. First, the mother of two was mugged at knife point. In another episode, Linda was caught in gunfire after a coworker's son was pressured into carrying out a hit on one of her patients at the hospital. She was shot twice, but again survived.

During the season 8 premiere of Blue Bloods last fall, it was revealed that Linda had died in a helicopter crash. Her death was not shown on camera and had never been hinted at prior to the episode. Fans were upset about the fact of Linda's demise, but more distraught by the way her character had been suddenly written out of the show after so many years.

Following the premiere and Linda's death, Carlson confirmed her departure in an Instagram post. "My heart is full of gratitude to each of you for your generous support of me and my character for the last seven years of Blue Bloods – Linda Reagan," she wrote. "I have been touched by your compassion and enthusiasm. I loved playing Linda: wife to Danny, mother to Jack and Sean, nurse and working mom. I'm proud of my contribution to building this series. I'm so grateful to CBS and the Blue Bloods cast and crew. Mostly, I am grateful to the fans who have supported me and the show. Peace, blessings and many 'love you mores' to all of you."

The actress later revealed that she had some mixed feelings about the off-screen death herself. "I feel badly that she dies the way she dies," Carlson said in an interview with Deadline. "I did not know they would do that, I was surprised. I wouldn't have done that."

Asked how she would have preferred Linda to be written off, she said "I could've shown the death. I guess it would've been nice for the fans to see her demise, to be a participant in it, and that was my vote for the fans." Carlson also confirmed she made the decision to leave the show herself, but noted that she was not asked to return for the season 8 premiere to give Linda's story the ending that she and the fans wanted.

Fans weren't the only ones devastated by Linda's sudden death and Carlson's exit. Her cast members opened up about their "grief" and "disappointment" during a panel discussion at New York's PaleyFest, shortly after the season premiere.

Asked about how he approached playing Danny as a widower, Donnie Wahlberg said that he "thought about all the years together and all the highs and lows and the ups and downs and the journey. Any tears I shed in that scene was really Donnie shedding them for Amy."

Co-star Bridget Moynahan admitted to EW that she was "disappointed" by Carlson's decision to leave. "It was unfortunate that she made that decision at the end of season 7, so we were stuck with the story line as we could get it," she said. "But I'm really thrilled for her to go off and pursue other things and follow what she felt was best for her."

Will Amy Carlson Ever Come Back to Blue Bloods?

Though Carlson chose to leave the show, she says she would consider returning. When asked in an interview with Deadline if she would consider coming back to do a flashback of her own death, Carlson said she would be "open to that" to give fans "closure".
