Seacia Pavao/CBSWhen Estes appeared on the CBS series, his character, Jamie, was reunited with his brother, Danny Reagan (Donny Wahlberg), while in Boston for a conference. (Estes starred alongside Wahlberg, 57, on Blue Blood for 14 seasons before the series ends in 2024. It is directed by Wahlberg Boston Blue from 2025.)
Jamie had recently been promoted to lieutenant, and Danny made sergeant after leaving New York City to work for the Boston Police Department with his son Sean (Mika Amonsen).
Tensions were high when the Reagan sisters got back together, with Jamie finally telling his big brother that he felt abandoned when Danny left New York at the same time he and his wife Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray) welcome their first child.
“You were always there whether I wanted you to be or not and then the second I wanted to ask you how to be a father. What do you do when Joey wouldn’t sleep or when Eddie didn’t want me to go back to the street. You weren’t there,” Jamie admitted.
Danny admitted, “I couldn’t. I needed to be here. Sean needed me,” Jamie said he understood, bringing the two of them to a close for the first time in the relationship.
“I’m always here for you, even from Boston,” Danny told his younger brother, joking that he can always call him.

CBS/Everett CollectionWhile Jamie and Danny ended the episode well, Estes doesn’t have another cameo yet – but he’s open to one, especially if it’s with his TV wife.
“They won’t let me in the writers’ rooms, so I’m not—I’m never part of those conversations,” Estes explains. Ussays he thinks a joint appearance with Ray, 45, “100 percent” could happen down the line.
Estes also said that Jamie and Eddie’s story might not be done for good. In fact, he joked that their rumored product may still be in the works.
“What am I saying that will encourage their opinion?” Estes says with a smile. “We’ve talked about it, but I can’t possibly give you an air date. So, no at this time.”
The actor tells Us that fans will have to wait and see what happens with a possible Jamie and Eddie TV series, revealing that the Blue Blood the cast may be open to a film reunion.
“Blue Blood the movie! Yeah, we’ve been talking about it Blue Blood the movie for a while,” Estes explains. “So listen, I’m ready. I’m here. I can throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks too.”
He says, “That was, I think, what Donny said first. It was like, ‘Blue Bloods the movie.’ So listen, I’m game.”
