The end of Blue Bloods after nearly 15 years on the air has all of its cast in a reflective, and nostalgic, mood.
The show, one of the longest running police procedurals in television history, is coming to an end after 14 seasons; the final season started airing October 18, and the final episode is out on Friday, December 13.
And with the official end fast approaching, cast member Abigail Hawk, who plays Detective Abigail Baker, is looking back on the moment she met the show's lead star, Tom Selleck, who stars as Frank Reagan.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Abigail remembered how she really felt when meeting Tom, when she was 28 years old, he was 65, and already a legend.
Admitting she was "terrified," to act with him at first, she recalled: "I would go up to the PA and be like, 'If I wanna go talk to him, am I allowed to, like, approach him or should I just not?' They were like, 'I don't know, it's my first day too lady, like, why are you looking at me?'"
She went on: "Of course, he ended up coming to me and saying, 'Hey, you know, we're doing this thing. Let's figure out some, some context.' He just put me at ease right away."

Abigail added: "When in all actuality he just wants to be doing what he does with what Frank does with [his dad], Henry (Len Cariou), sitting in an armchair working on a crossword. For Tom, that would be working on his farm and working with his dogs and working on a script."
