Donnie Wahlberg of 'Blue Bloods' claims that the cast did everything in their power to save the hit show.

The cast and crew of "Blue Bloods" went to great lengths to keep the show on air for 14 seasons, but the drama series aired its final episode Friday night.

In an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, the "Very Scary People" host discussed the emotional final dinner scene and the eerie silence that followed the final "cut" being shouted.

One thing that often comes to mind is the moment after we finished filming the scene, when the entire crew gathered in the Reagan house. We stood around in a group of about two hundred people, and there was a moment of silence.

Wahlberg stated that there was a prolonged silence following the command "cut." He believed that everyone present was waiting for either A) someone to say that the entire thing was a joke and they would continue filming more episodes or B) everyone was hesitant because they knew that once someone began talking, emotions would surface.

"One thing we haven't discussed is the long time we worked with the crew in New York City. Personally, I felt bad and sad about it. We tried to keep the show going, but we couldn't. Despite our efforts, we couldn't make it work. We did everything we could to keep the show going."

Mark Wahlberg expressed gratitude to his crew for their long-term collaboration and feels that the cast is not living up to their expectations.

"I felt sad. Like, we tried to keep the show going. We tried to help the show carry on, and we couldn't. We couldn't do it. You know, we did everything we could, everything in our power, to have the show carry on." — Donnie Wahlberg

"Processing that was tough was difficult. The crew wouldn't feel that way, but we kept believing we'd keep the show going. When the finale ended, it felt like reality hit us all. It was a part of it, like, "If we could have just kept going a few more years, you know?""

Wahlberg stated that getting close to the crew and knowing that they had families, mortgages, and numerous responsibilities made it a cool feeling to work on the show every day. He added that it was tough to end the show, and he believed it must have been scary for the crew as well. The emotion behind the ending was significant, he said.

Wahlberg reflected on his time on "Blue Bloods."

Wahlberg stated that they worked diligently to portray the people of New York and the NYPD, as well as to maintain the show's appeal for 14 years. Saying goodbye to the cast and crew was emotional, even though it may appear strange to outsiders. Despite being actors, they formed a family with the crew, and bidding farewell to them was emotional.

The final episode of "Blue Bloods," starring Wahlberg, Tom Selleck, Will Estes, and Bridget Moynahan, aired on CBS on Friday, Dec. 13.

Wahlberg has had some memorable moments with Selleck over the years.

The actor, who was once a boy band star, has shared how he refers to Selleck as "dad," but the most significant moment for him was when Selleck addressed him as "son" for the first time.

Since then, we've called each other dad and son on camera and off.

On Friday, Wahlberg penned an emotional letter to Selleck on Instagram.

For fourteen years, I have known this man as my cast mate, commissioner, friend, and, most importantly, my dad. It has been an honor to work with him and to have him as a father figure and leader. Although our tour has ended, the friendship, admiration, respect, and memories we have shared will remain. Thank you for leading the way and for always trusting in me. Happy Blue Bloods Finale Friday!

Dad, I love you and am grateful for everything you've done for me. Sincerely, Donnie aka Danny aka Son.

As "Blue Bloods" ends, Wahlberg is preparing for the next season as host of Investigation Discovery's "Very Scary People."

"Wahlberg stated that this season they are delving further into each case by sharing raw, first-person accounts from those directly involved. He explained that this approach is more personal, emotional, and connects on a deeper level."

The true-crime series, hosted by Wahlberg, explores the dark side of criminal masterminds and their heinous deeds. The show features personal firsthand accounts, exclusive in-depth interviews, and compelling archival footage, creating a gripping narrative of these chilling tales.

"The show focuses on a criminal whose heinous deeds caused fear in their community, showing how their twisted behavior developed and ultimately led to their downfall."
