But Donnie has now revealed that he offered to take a 50% pay cut in an effort to encourage CBS to reconsider. “I got offered the job, I’m like, ‘This is a dream come true,’” Donnie, who reprised his role of Danny Reagan in the 2025 spin-off Boston Blue, said. Admitting he would have gone anywhere to continue playing in this world, when they revealed it would be set in Boston, he said he was “hooked”. © Michele Crowe/CBSDonnie as Danny Reagan and Sonequa Martin-Green as Lena Silver on set Unfortunately, then came the kicker – CBS could not afford to shoot in Boston, and would instead take the show to Toronto. In response, Donnie offered to “give back 50% of my paycheck if we can go to Boston,” but it wasn’t enough. “They said, ‘You can give back 100% and so can the rest …

Donnie Wahlberg will always have the support of his Blue Bloods co-stars. It has been over one year since the cast of Blue Bloods filmed their last episode together, after the series was canceled after 14 seasons. Since then, the Danny Reagan actor has continued the role through the spin-off Boston Blue — and separately, is also busy with a New Kids on the Block Las Vegas residency — both of which his former co-star Marisa Ramírez has supported. Over the weekend, Marisa, who starred as Danny’s police partner Detective María Baez, took to Instagram and revealed she was at NKOTB’s latest gig, and, while sitting front row, got to enjoy a sweet reunion between herself and her former co-star Donnie. In her post, she also included a sweet photo with Donnie, and later wrote in her caption: “The best way to spend Valentine’s Day!” “Mom’s night out was just perfect! Warmed my heart to meet so many amazing blockheads. Thank you all for being so sweet,” she added, and fans were quick to take …
