It was recently announced that original cast member Amy Carlson will no longer return as Linda in the show. Her character was abruptly killed off in the season 7 finale, leaving many fans disappointed over how the program handled the actress' exit.
Carlson's onscreen husband Wahlberg recently said at a PaleyFest event that it has been difficult to move on, but he used his real-life sadness to make his first scenes as a widower more convincing.
"Rather than try to act or find something to do, I just thought about my friend Amy Carlson," he said (via Entertainment Weekly). "I 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 Donny shedding them for Amy ... She's a dear friend. I cherish our friendship."
The eighth season of "Blue Bloods" airs every Friday night at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
