ER alum Gloria Reuben — whose far more recent TV credits include The Better Sister, Elsbeth and The Equalizer — has been cast as Mae Silver, Boston's District Attorney and the matriarch of the aforementioned, blended family of law enforcement professionals.
The widow of a judge who was murdered on the courthouse steps, Mae endeavors to put family ahead of work whenever possible, Deadline reports.
As previously reported, Ernie Hudson (NBC's Quantum Leap reboot) will play Lena's grandfather, Reverend Peters, a renowned pastor of a historic Baptist church in Boston, while Psych vet Maggie Lawson will play Boston PD Superintendent Sarah Silver, Lena's 'strong-willed' and 'decisive' stepsister.
Still to be cast on Boston Blue is Jonah, a rookie cop who is Lena's brother/Mae's son.
Of note, Reuben played mom to Martin-Green in the 2024 indie My Dead Friend Zoe, and on Blue Bloods she appeared in a pair of Season 11 episodes as Rachel Weber, the ATF Special Agent in Charge overseeing an undercover op involving Joe Hill.

‘Big Brother' 27: Why Fans Want Riley Evicted
The competition on Big Brother season 27 is getting heated, and while curveballs are always to be expected on BB, there is one possibility that the houseguests might not see coming. Calls from fans for Rylie Jeffries to be kicked out of the Big Brother house because of his treatment of Katherine Woodman have been growing steadily since the start of the season— and now his mother has stepped in to try to defend him. Katherine and Rylie have always been close in the house this season, but when their flirtation turned romantic, fans started noticing a distressing pattern in Rylie's attitude towards her and are now petitioning to have him removed from the show. Specifically, multiple viral clips taken from the Big Brother live feed show Rylie demanding physical touch, like hugs and kisses, even when Katherine says no. Others show Rylie talking down to Katherine, dismissing her gameplay, pulling away while clearly wanting her affection—which fans have dubbed toxic and manipulative behavior. Many fans have expressed concern for Katherine's well being in the house, even taking to Katherine's Instagram comments and seeking out her family members. An Instagram account linked to Tracy Michelle Spencer—identified as Katherine's stepmom—reportedly addressed the concerns in comments captured by @BigBrotherSpoilers. In her statement, Tracy implied that she and Katherine's father had been in touch with CBS and production, writing in part, 'I'm pleased to report that CBS has been responsive and communicative. Once we receive the requested information, we will make a public statement that is based on first hand knowledge rather than speculation.' It's unclear what information Katherine's family has requested from CBS, but given the growing concern among fans, hopefully it involves assurances from Katherine herself that she feels safe in the Big Brother house. Rylie's mother, meanwhile, defended her son in a new interview. 'He's not some obsessive stalker-type person like everyone is saying,' Michelle Jeffries told TMZ. 'He's got a great heart and wears it on his sleeve.' She also defended her son from allegations that he had welcomed a baby while in the Big Brother house and had been refusing to support his pregnant ex when he left to compete on the show. According to TMZ, Michelle said that her son was willing to take a paternity test, but had 'no reason to believe' that he was the father, despite his ex's reported statements claiming otherwise. There was one controversy, however, that Michelle didn't comment on: Rylie has reportedly been charged twice for driving without a valid license, which has caused some fans to wonder how he was even allowed in the house in the first place given the extensive background checks prior to casting.
