Jennifer Esposito Was BANNED Forever From Blue Bloods After Doing This

Jackie Curatola’s departure from Blue Bloods in 2012, due to Jennifer Esposito’s Celiac disease diagnosis, was controversial, as CBS couldn’t accommodate her reduced work schedule, leading to her being placed on unpaid leave.

In season 13, Jackie returned as a Suffolk County police chief, working with Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) to catch Dr. Walker, setting up potential for season 14.

Her return was significant, showing her resilience and upward career movement despite her past struggles. In season 14, Jackie sent Danny a package with a woman’s finger from Dr. Walker, reuniting them briefly and causing tension with Baez. This hinted at possible romantic developments for Danny. Even if Esposito doesn’t return, Jackie’s reappearance provided closure and respect for her character.
