Sami Gayle bid farewell to her role as Nicky Reagan in ‘Blue Bloods’ during the show’s 10th season, although she briefly returned in season 11 and will make an appearance in the season 14 finale.
While her character’s departure was tied to Nicky accepting a job in San Francisco, Gayle’s increasingly busy schedule, including attending Columbia University while portraying a university student on the show, played a significant role.
Her flourishing career, including a role in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Bad Cinderella on Broadway, also contributed to her reduced screen time. Despite no public statement from Gayle regarding her departure, fans hope for her eventual return to the Reagan family dinner table.
