Anthony Abetemarco (Steven Schirripa) has been a constant presence in Blue Bloods since season 6, particularly supporting Erin Reagan’s journey to become D.A. Although season 13 hinted at a possible separation between Anthony and Erin, the duo ended the season intact.
As for Steven Schirripa leaving the show in season 14, all indications suggest he is not. Schirripa has not expressed any issues with the cast or crew and has not shown a desire to leave. Amid budget considerations, key cast members, including Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg, and Tom Selleck, took pay cuts to ensure the show’s creative team remains intact until 2024.
Schirripa has praised Moynahan and expressed joy in playing Anthony, highlighting the character’s unique perspective. Despite being a street-smart, old-school guy, Anthony brings essential outside perspectives to the Reagan family dynamic. Overall, it seems Anthony will continue to be a valuable part of Blue Bloods in the upcoming season.
