Donnie Wahlberg says he and Sonequa Martin-Green “lean on each other” in “Boston Blue”
Donnie Wahlberg and Sonequa Martin-Green are bringing a new dynamic with “Boston Blue,” a spinoff of the long-running drama “Blue Bloods.”
The series follows Wahlberg’s character, Detective Danny Reagan, as he takes a new position with the Boston Police Department. There, he’s partnered with Detective Lena Silver, played by Martin-Green, who comes from another prominent law enforcement family.
Wahlberg said it was hard to say goodbye to “Blue Bloods,” but that he eventually saw “Boston Blue” as an “opportunity to keep family, faith and tradition on TV, to tell a story of a law enforcement family, and to keep the Reagans alive in this new world with an amazing new cast and an amazing new partner.”
Martin-Green, who previously starred in “Star Trek: Discovery” and “The Walking Dead,” said she drew on her experience working within major television franchises.
“I just couldn’t have expected it. I didn’t think ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ would come after ‘Walking Dead, and I certainly didn’t think another beloved TV franchise would come after ‘Star Trek: Discovery.’ So, I’ve learned a lot about doing that, about building new iterations of beloved franchises,” she said.
Wahlberg said his chemistry with Martin-Green has been key to shaping “Boston Blue.” He credited her experience and talent for helping define the show’s new world and described their partnership as one built on trust and collaboration.
“She really brings so much to the table in that experience, but also in her talent,” Wahlberg said. “The show is, you know, it’s a universe show. It’s a spinoff. However you want to refer to it. But it is a new world as well. Danny is a fish out of water and he meets someone that really is one of the reasons he stays. Not that it’s romantic or anything, but he meets an equal.”
He described their working relationship as collaborative.
“We lean on each other. We talk to each other constantly. We are constantly working for the success of this show,” Wahlberg said.
“Boston Blue” premieres Friday at 10 p.m. on CBS and will stream on Paramount+.
Action movie icon Chuck Norris was hospitalised in Hawaii on Thursday, March 19, following a medical emergency.
The incident occurred days after celebrating his 86th birthday with an outdoor boxing session.
“The Missing in Action” actor was on the island of Kauai when the incident occurred. Although the nature of the medical emergency has not been disclosed yet, sources close to TMZ stated that Norris is in “good spirits” and was cracking jokes with friends shortly before being admitted.
The hospitalization was a surprise to fans, especially after watching Norris spar energetically in a video he posted on his Instagram account on March 10, celebrating his birthday. In the video, the martial artist was seen playfully throwing punches with his trainer under the sun in Hawaii.
In his birthday post, he wrote: “I don’t age. I level up. I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love.”
“Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know,” he added.
Norris is married to Gena O’Kelley with whom he shares 24-year-old twins. From his previous relationships, he has five children.
A terrifying moment was recently caught on camera as an Israeli missile targeted a British journalist associated with Russia Today (RT) during live reporting in Lebanon.
Steven Sweeney, who works for the Russian state funded broadcaster, was filming destruction of a bridge and talking about missile attacks from Israel when one targeted him and hit just a few feet away.
Sweeney said yesterday that targeting journalists was a war crime and today he himself got injured in an attack. He was treated at a hospital for his injuries.
The video footage of the incident shows the exact moment when the missile hit near the journalist, both cameraman and the reporter sustained injuries.
RT posted a video of journalist Ali Rida, also injured in the attack, reporting from Southern Lebanon. Ali said that Israeli forces DELIBERATELY targeted them.
About three hours after the attack, the outlet shared a video message of Sweeney. He said: “It was a precision strike from an Israeli fighter jet. If they think that they are going to silence us, they are very, very much mistaken.”
Israel has intensified its unprovoked, illegal military strikes on Southern Lebanon and had repeatedly targeted civilian infrastructure.
Sweeney also accused Israel of attempting to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon.
