Blue Bloods is in its 13th season, and while some things change with the CBS drama (cases, jobs, family dynamics), some things stay the same, like the relationship between Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) and Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez).

He told TV Insider, “We recognize it and certainly the actors like each other, in front of the camera and between setups. I’m gonna use Sam and Diane from Cheers and really age myself here, but once it happens, there’s nowhere to go.
