‘Boston Blue’ Star Sonequa Martin-Green On Evolution Of Her Character & “Building A Sibling Dynamic” With Donnie Wahlberg

Sonequa Martin-Green had fans in a tizzy when her Boston Blue character, Lena Silver, was shot while on duty in the final two episodes of the show’s freshman season. And while it was shocking, the incident plays a big role in the evolution of Lena, who fans will continue to see grow in the upcoming second season.

Coming off major roles in AMC’s The Walking Dead and CBS All Access/Paramount+’s Star Trek: Discovery, Martin-Green was cast opposite series lead Donnie Wahlberg in the Blue Bloods spinoff set in his native Boston. Silver and Reagan have a special relationship, which is that of a brother and not a lover. The partners often confer with each other about what’s going on in their lives, share dating advice, and break bread together during the traditional family dinner.
