  "account": "Donnie Wahlberg, star of the TV show \"Boston Blue,\" has expressed his desire to see Tom Selleck, who played the character Frank Reagan on \"Blue Bloods,\" appear on the spinoff. Speaking to People about the show's second season, Wahlberg revealed that he holds great respect for Selleck and would love to reunite with him on screen. However, he noted that there is one condition Selleck would require before returning to the \"Blue Bloods\" universe: the episode in which Selleck appears must be thoughtful and elegant, something that both the creators and Wahlberg would take great care to execute. Wahlberg emphasized that Selleck takes his role and the show's legacy seriously. Both Wahlberg and the show's creators, Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, emphasized the importance of setting up a perfect narrative to support Selleck's appearance. Selleck's Frank Reagan, so far, has not ventured outside of New York City for a trip to Boston, but other characters from \"Blue Bloods,\" including Maria Baez, have already done so. Wahlberg also appeared in a Season 2 episode of \"Blue Bloods\" as Danny Reagan's brother Jamie. During an interview with TVLine, Wahlberg shared that the reunion was an emotional experience, both on and off screen, and that it was healing and wonderful. He also expressed that all \"Blue Bloods\" co-stars have welcomed those from the spinoff with open arms, surprising them with their appreciation for what they created.",
