The last season of “Blue Bloods” ended on a pretty dramatic note, and many fans were curious how things would work out for Danny. Many were expecting some negative developments coming up for the character in the next season, and it looks like they might have been right. Recent rumors about the show claim that we might see Danny going through some very difficult times right from the start of the new season.
What happened was that Danny was trying to do the right thing, but ended up getting involved in a huge mess, and is now facing legal repercussions for his actions. His pursuit of villain Thomas Wilder ended up in Wilder’s death, and while Danny was acting out of fear for his own life, it looks like prosecutors might try to spin the story in a different direction.
Will Danny have to face his greatest nightmare and potentially lose his job? This could be a pretty dramatic way to kick off the new season, and we wouldn’t put it past the writers of this show to do something along those lines either. “Blue Bloods” has never been a stranger to drama, even when it comes to some shocking developments in the lives of its characters, so anything is possible.
The preview for the next season also implies that various other characters are going to find themselves in turbulent situations, including Eddie, Jamie and Frank. The season will touch some popular themes like celebrities causing harm to others, as well as the struggle for power and control that we can find in any major hierarchy, including the police.
In fact, there have been some hints that the new season could be a bit more political than the previous ones, focusing much more on the affairs between officers and the precinct as a whole. We’ve also seen rumors that there may be some restructuring going on, with some characters being reassigned to other positions, but so far the main subject in those discussions has been Frank.
Is he going to regain his post as a Commissioner? Or are the writers preparing something more challenging for him? Either way, it’s been claimed that the character is going to face some difficult decisions right from the start of the season, so it should be interesting to watch in this regard.
Hopefully the producers aren’t going to push things too much in the direction of political drama, as this could have a harmful effect on the show’s popularity. It’s true that “Blue Bloods” has frequently shown some interesting conflicts between its characters, especially when the story involves a power struggle (or a metaphor for one), but that’s not the main attracting factor for many of the show’s viewers.
On the other hand, some fans seem a bit disappointed with the way certain characters have been evolving over the last one or two seasons, claiming that the producers could show a little more development for them. It’s possible that this could be related to the rumors of a more “dramatic” season.
And while the new episodes are still a couple of weeks away, fans at least have a brand new trailer to whet their appetite and get them excited for what’s coming up. The producers of the show seem well determined to keep it alive and active for now, so while we expect to see some shocking developments in the new season, it will also probably be done in the standard tone of the show.
