Blue Bloods' Boston Blue confirms major Hollywood star will replace Tom Selleck
Blue Bloods spin-off Boston Blue has confirmed who will be playing the grandfather of Sonequa Martin-Green's Detective Lena Silver.
Boston Blue has unveiled its new Frank Reagan, with the Blue Bloods spin-off set to debut in late 2025.
While Tom Selleck was a key figure in CBS' Blue Bloods as the Reagan family patriarch Frank Reagan, there's been no word on whether he'll make an appearance in Boston Blue.
When Danny Reagan (portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg) joins the Boston PD, he'll be teamed up with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), who also hails from a distinguished police family.
At the helm of that family is Reverend Peters, described as "a renowned pastor of a historic Baptist church in Boston", who is an "open-minded, welcoming man that is comfortable in all traditions".
The actor stepping into the role of Reverend Peters, familiar to film buffs, has now been disclosed.
Boston Blue's Reverend Peters will be played by actor Ernie Hudson.
He's best known for his roles as Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters series and McDonald in Sandra Bullock's Miss Congeniality.
Hudson's other credits include LA's Finest, Quantum Leap, The Family Business, The Crow and The Basketball Diaries.
Much like Magnum PI star Tom Selleck's fatherly role as Frank Reagan, Hudson's pastor is anticipated to take on a similar role prior to Blue Bloods' cancellation after 14 seasons.
CBS has unveiled more about the Silver family tree, revealing that Reverend Peters is the father of Boston's District Attorney Mae Silver and grandfather to Superintendent Ashley Silver, rookie officer Isaac Silver and Detective Lena Silver.
To date, apart from Reverend Peters, the only member of the Silver family who has been cast is The Walking Dead actress Sonequa Martin-Green, who will play Lena.
There's no official release date for Boston Blue as yet.
However, it's expected to premiere in the autumn of 2025 and when it does, the spin-off will take over the Friday 10pm slot currently occupied by Blue Bloods.
Blue Bloods is available to watch on CBS.

I'm an interiors expert – here's the 5 colours that are out for 2025, and it's bad news if you jumped on burgundy trend
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SUMMER is the perfect time to give your home the refresh it's been waiting for. But it's important to make sure that when you update your space, you create a look that won't quickly become outdated. 6 Interior designers have said that five colours are becoming outdated in 2025 Credit: Getty 6 Fans of a neutral-style home will not be happy Credit: Getty 6 And it's bad news if you like bold colours Credit: Getty Especially since certain design trends are beginning to fade now that we are halfway into 2025. And with that in mind, interior designers have revealed the colours that are quickly losing their appeal this year. So if you're thinking of sprucing up your home, you have come to the right place. Experts at leading chair retailer Stunning Chairs have revealed that there are five colours that are now becoming outdated. Interior designer Paulina Wojas has said that 2025 is all about creating warm, inviting places. And this means saying goodbye to some of the most popular deep, jewel hues of last year. She said: 'This year, interior trends are about warmth, self-expression, and creating inviting, personality-filled spaces. "Multicoloured and brown-toned products dominate sales, demonstrating a high demand for bold, maximalist aesthetics and cosy, earthy-toned designs. "Despite their rich hues, jewel tones appear to be on their way out, as trends swap them for soft, muted palettes. 'Interior trends are ever-changing, but the key to a forever stylish home is incorporating trends alongside timeless touches.' I'm a DIY fan and swear by a seven colour room that makes any home feel like it's been designed by a pro Emerald Green This rich, green shade was all the rage last year, with many homeowners keen to bring this deep hue into their homes to create a luxury feel and a sophisticated space. Paulina said: 'This colour is versatile despite its rich hue and works well for living rooms for a chic space. "Emerald green also has a calming effect and evokes feelings of tranquillity, making it an ideal choice for bedrooms and home offices for serenity. 'However, our internal data reveals that emerald green contributed to just 0.05 per cent of sales in the last 12 months, resulting in the once-popular colour being among the least wanted. "While this colour is still loved for its luxe vibe, its declining popularity could be due to it being oversaturated, as the industry experiences colour fatigue and homeowners opt for colours that resonate with their interior taste.' 6 Emerald green is on the way out this year Credit: Getty Camel Fans of a neutral home will be devastated to hear that Camel is on the way out - but the experts say that people have been put off it recently due it its "brown-yellow undertone". They explained: 'This colour is excellent for adding warmth and pairs well with other hues. It's particularly effective for warming a room's colour palette and is a great alternative to cream or white. "Its inoffensive hue makes it versatile to complement other colours and can elevate a room's feel for a cosy, inviting vibe. 'However, it appears camel could be losing its appeal, as this palatable hue contributed to just 0.09 per cent of our sales in the last 12 months. "This could be due to Camel's brown-yellow undertone that may be too warm for a clean aesthetic, and 2025 interior trends favouring more muted, earthy tones such as taupe and olive.' Burgundy Another rich shade that is becoming outdated in 2025 is burgundy, despite it being perfect for creating a luxurious feel and adding warmth. Paulina revealed: "Despite its richness, this deep hue pairs well with other colours, such as gold, white, and olive. "Incorporated minimally or as a dominant colour, burgundy achieves a striking look for a classic or contemporary design. 'However, based on data for the last 12 months, only 0.21 per cent of our sales have been burgundy products. "A prominent trend this year is open, airy spaces with organic elements, which could explain burgundy's declining demand as 2025 trends favour soft, muted tones, such as terracotta and burnt sienna, for a more natural, relaxed vibe.' 6 It's bad news if you jumped on the burgundy recent trend Scarlet Red Interior experts have said that this colour is ranking among the lowest in sales numbers so far this year. They said: "This deeply rich hue is full of vibrancy and is the perfect shade of red for a bold aesthetic. Paired with contrasting hues, it achieves a strikingly dynamic design. 'However, the former 'it' colour, popularly used to achieve the 'unexpected red theory', only contributed to 0.53% of our sales in the last 12 months. "While its vibrant hue is desirable for maximalist interiors, scarlet red's intensity can become overpowering, resulting in colour fatigue. "Muted tones are also having a moment this year, suggesting that trends are swapping out bold tones for a softer shade.' Trends interior designers hate IF you want to ensure that your home looks glam, here are the trends that interior designers can't stand. NO YELLOW: According to Bilal Rehman, yellow paint in a bedroom is a big no no. He said: 'If you want everyone to know you're a horse girl then yellow is perfect for you.' SIGN OFF: Kelly Hoppen shared her honest thoughts on Live, Love, Laugh signs. The interior pro explained: 'Another gripe of mine - Live, Laugh, Love - those kinds of wooden things that sit on book shelves and floating shelves, that's so 10, 12, 15 years ago.' NO GREY YAY: Julie Provenzano explained that grey interiors have been overdone. She stressed: 'We took a good thing and we overdid it to the point that it now feels copy, paste, basic.' Teal In 2024, homeowners were rushing to buy Teal paint and accessories to create a calming environment to match the year's wellness-focused trends. However, it seems like this jewel tone is now becoming outdated, indicating a shift from last year's colour trends. Paulina explained: "Teal is excellent for bringing a tranquil tone and works well for bedrooms to achieve a stylish space with a relaxing feel. 'Despite its versatility and stylish appeal, our data highlights that purchases for teal-coloured products only contributed to 1.34 per cent of sales in the last 12 months. "While this aquatic shade is still desirable and perfect for coastal, Greek-inspired interiors, the low number of teal sales could be due to changing preferences and trends shifting towards warmer colour palettes.'

‘60 Minutes' legend Lesley Stahl says she's ‘angry' at CBS boss Shari Redstone over Trump lawsuit
Lesley Stahl, who has spent decades as a correspondent for the seminal Sunday night newsmagazine 60 Minutes, is making it clear that she is 'angry' with her corporate boss for looking to settle Donald Trump's 'frivolous' lawsuit against CBS News. The legendary newswoman also said she is 'pessimistic' about the future of 60 Minutes, adding that 'we're in very dark times' and that she's already preemptively 'mourning' the potential destruction of the long-running program amid an upcoming merger and the president's attacks on legacy media. In a wide-ranging conversation with The New Yorker's chief editor David Remnick this past weekend, Stahl sounded off on CBS parent company Paramount's efforts to make Trump's $20 billion lawsuit over the way 60 Minutes edited an interview with Kamala Harris, which the president contends was done 'deceitfully' to interfere in the 2024 election. Following Trump's return to the White House, Paramount's top shareholder Shari Redstone has pushed for a settlement as the company needs the administration's approval for an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which pro-Trump business mogul Larry Ellison backs. Additionally, Redstone has not only pressured 60 Minutes to ease up on its Trump coverage amid the lawsuit and merger drama, but also criticized the show over the way it's covered the Gaza war. Amid the discussions with Trump's legal team about a settlement, 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens and CBS News chief Wendy McMahon – who had said they would not apologize as part of any deal with the president – abruptly resigned. Paramount's board has reportedly offered Trump a $15 million settlement, which is in line with ABC News' capitulation to the president, but Trump is demanding at least $25 million and an apology. Asked by Remnick what is behind the president's lawsuit, Stahl — who has interviewed Trump four times — said that it is an effort 'to chill us,' noting that 'there aren't any damages' suffered by Trump. 'I mean, he accused us of editing Kamala Harris in a way to help her win the election. But he won the election,' she added. Trump's legal team has since argued in court that the interview caused the president 'mental anguish.' Labeling it as a 'frivolous' lawsuit, Stahl went on to describe Owens as a 'hero' to the newsroom while lobbing criticisms towards Redstone over the 60 Minutes producer feeling the need to step down. '[H]e was being asked to either not run pieces or to change parts of the stories, and he was standing up to that. I don't know, frankly, if there was one request that led to it or just an accumulation, one after the next,' she said. 'That was just painful. Painful,' she continued, speaking about Owens' resignation. 'Everybody at '60 Minutes'—I think everybody, most of us—really appreciated his standing up to the pressure, and saw him in heroic terms. So when he announced that he was stepping down, it was a punch in the stomach. It was one of those punches where you almost can't breathe.' Adding that McMahon had also served as an 'intermediary between us and the corporation, and she sided with CBS News,' Stahl then expressed disappointment over the likelihood that Paramount will settle with the president. 'Are you angry at Shari Redstone?' Remnick wondered, prompting Stahl to reply: 'Yes, I think I am. I think I am.' At the same time, though, the veteran CBS reporter said that while Owens being forced out may have been a bridge too far for much of the staff, she claimed he urged everyone on the show to stay. 'Bill Owens leaving was a line, and here we all are,' she stated. 'He asked us not to resign. He explicitly asked us not to resign. Because it was discussed that we would leave en masse.' Stahl also said it was 'hard' and 'not a small thing' that Redstone had been applying pressure on the news division over its coverage, making her wonder if 'any corporation should own a news operation' going forward. 'It is very disconcerting,' she proclaimed. As for CBS News' new 'corporate overlords' at Skydance if the merger goes through, Stahl said she's 'praying' and 'hoping' that they'd allow the network 'to be independent' and for journalists to do their jobs. Still, she acknowledged that it could be a 'little Pollyannaish' to believe that will be the outcome. 'I'm not optimistic. I am not. I'm pessimistic,' she told Remnick. 'I'm pessimistic about the future for all press today. The public doesn't trust us. The public has lost faith in us as an institution. So we're in very dark times.' Stahl also expressed concern about the 'fragility' of press institutions as a whole, especially with mega-billionaires and large conglomerations pressuring the news organizations they own to soften their coverage of the current administration while they cozy up to the president. 'The pain in my heart is that the public does not appreciate the importance of a free and strong and tough press in our democracy,' she lamented, adding: 'We are a headache. An expensive headache. And that's part of the fragility.' Amid the continued push to reach a settlement with Trump, Democratic lawmakers have warned the Paramount board and Redstone that paying the president to kill the lawsuit could run afoul of anti-bribery laws, considering that the company is hoping to coax the administration to approve a merger. The California State Senate has now opened an inquiry into Paramount over whether it violated state laws on bribery, inviting both Owens and McMahon to testify. Paramount executives, in fact, have even discussed the possibility of being held liable or criminally charged if the business settles the complaint. The Freedom of the Press Foundation has since threatened to sue the company if it reaches a settlement with the president.

Horror moment Ben Griffin strikes fan with wild wayward tee shot amid Memorial Tournament heartbreak
An unfortunate day for one of the top contenders going into the final round at the Memorial Tournament got slightly more embarrassing after a rough tee shot on the penultimate hole. Ben Griffin entered the day at 7-under, competing with Scottie Scheffler for one of the more prestigious titles on the PGA Tour. But his roller coaster of a day took its final plunge on the 17th hole with an errant tee shot that was sent streaking toward the crowd up the left side of the par-4. CBS cameras captured the moment that a fan wearing a blue polo shirt and a red Ohio State cap was struck on the back by Griffin's ball. The fan was seen looking backwards after being struck, placing his left hand on his back while wondering what had happened. It was only when he saw the crowd of patrons staring at Griffin's ball when he realized that he had been struck by the shot. When Griffin arrived to play his second shot, he had been informed of what had happened and - in a gesture of goodwill - signed a glove for the fan. The fan, who was now shirtless, accepted the glove before turning around to show Griffin and the cameras the giant red welt on his back to confirm the damage done. CBS' Dottie Pepper remarked that when the shot hit the fan it 'sounded like it hit the cart path, it was that firm'. Griffin would go on to card a double bogey for that hole, his worst mark of the day in a final round that had started with such promise. After starting the round one stroke behind Scottie Scheffler, Griffin would go on to card four bogeys, three birdies, one eagle, and that double on 17 to finish his round one-over. Meanwhile, Scheffler played his typically dominant golf to win a second consecutive title at 'Jack's Place' - four shots ahead of Griffin. It's the 21st title of Scheffler's career and his third this season - including a third career major at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.
