text: Wizard (Middle-earth)

text: Internal history[edit]

text: Arrival[edit]

text: They came to Middle-earth around the year 1000 of the Third Age, when the forest of 'Greenwood the Great' fell under shadow and became known as Mirkwood.  The wizards already appeared old when they entered Middle-earth. They were "clothed" in the bodies of old Men, as the Valar wished them to guide the inhabitants of Middle-earth by persuasion and encouragement, not by force or fear. They were forbidden to dominate the free peoples of Middle-earth or to match Sauron's power with power. However, they aged very slowly and were in fact immortal. Physically they were "real" Men, and felt all the urges, pleasures and fears of flesh and blood. Therefore, in spite of their specific and unambiguous goal, the Wizards were capable of human feelings; Gandalf, for example, felt great affection for the Hobbits. They could also feel negative human emotions such as greed, jealousy, and lust for power. It is hinted in the essay in Unfinished Tales that the Blue Wizards may have fallen prey to these temptations, though information published in The Peoples of Middle-earth seems to contradict this version of their history.

text: Although immortal, their physical bodies could be destroyed by violence – thus Gandalf truly died in the fight with Durin's Bane, beyond the power of the Valar to resurrect him; Eru Ilúvatar intervened to send Gandalf back.[4] Similarly, Saruman was killed when his throat was cut by his servant in The Return of the King. The Istari also carried staves, which seem to aid their magic. When Saruman is defeated at Isengard, Gandalf casts him from the White Council and breaks his staff.

text: Even after his staff is broken, however, Saruman retains persuasive power over the heart and will of men.  Similarly, when Gandalf's staff is broken at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm he is still able to slay the Balrog, showing that a wizard's strength was not entirely dependent on his staff.

text: Purpose[edit]

text: Though the Valar intervened only rarely in Middle-earth, they sent the wizards as emissaries from Valinor because they had not forsaken the Men and Elves of Middle-earth.  In imposing the prohibition against using force to compel the Children of Eru, the Valar sought with the wizards to avoid repeating an ancient error.  They had tried direct intervention in the destiny of the Elves in the Years of the Trees by leading the Eldar into the West, but this resulted in many bloody wars and confrontations.  In the struggle against the Dark Lord, they hoped instead to help Men achieve their own destiny.  Thus Gandalf and the other wizards were meant to use their great wisdom to persuade Men to courses of action which would achieve Men's own goals, rather than trying to dominate them, hence their power was ultimately restricted. Saruman failed in this when he tried to set himself up as a commander in opposition to Sauron, but Gandalf remained faithful to his charge.

text: The wizards landed at the Grey Havens in the North-west of Middle-earth, for the Valar felt that Arnor and Gondor, remnants of Elendil's old kingdom, had the greatest hope of mounting resistance against Sauron. Few of Middle-earth's inhabitants knew who the wizards really were; the wizards did not share their identities and purposes widely. Most thought they were Elves or wise Men; the name Gandalf, meaning "Wand-elf", reflects the belief that he was an Elf.

text: Saruman originally was the most powerful of the five and was head of the White Council. In T.A. 2759 he took over the defence of Isengard with the consent of the Steward of Gondor, who gave him the key to Orthanc. Saruman was learned in the lore of the Rings of Power, and gradually became corrupted by desire for the Rings and by Sauron's direct influence through the palantír of Orthanc. Eventually he took the title "Saruman of Many Colours" and took robes to match.  He assisted Sauron in the War of the Ring, biding time to secure the One Ring for himself, in order to supplant Sauron, but his plans and forces were thwarted by the power of the Ents.  Gandalf broke his staff and cast him from the White Council. However, Saruman later invaded the hobbit lands of the Shire, ruling as a petty lord, but was eventually overthrown again by the hobbits. He was finally murdered by his servant Gríma Wormtongue.

text: Later events[edit]

text: During the War of the Ring, it was Gandalf who led the Free Peoples to victory over Sauron. He also became "Gandalf the White", and defeated the traitorous Saruman. After the destruction of Sauron's forces in front of the Black Gate at the mountainous borders of Mordor, Gandalf left Middle-earth and went over the Sea to Aman, along with the Ring-bearers and many of the Elves.

text: In the course of The Lord of the Rings, it is never made clear what exactly Gandalf and Saruman are.  Treebeard tells Merry and Pippin that the wizards appeared after the Great Ships came over the Sea (ca. T.A. 1000, according to Appendix B, some 2,000 years before the time of The Lord of the Rings), but little else is revealed in the narrative. Riding with Pippin to Minas Tirith at the end of Book III, Gandalf ponders the ability of the palantíri to see into the past, and recalls events in Valinor from the Years of the Trees—though whether from his own memory is not clear.[5] Later in Minas Tirith, Pippin wonders what Gandalf really is, and realizes that this is the first time in his life that he has done so.

text: The essay given in Unfinished Tales was originally begun in order to be included in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, but was not completed in time. A more explanatory passage on the nature of the wizards is found at the end of The Silmarillion.

text: Other wizards[edit]

text: In the Second Age, at least a thousand years before the Wizards described above, the Númenóreans referred to Sauron as Zigûr, which means 'wizard' in their Adûnaic language.[6]

text: Adaptations[edit]

text: Film[edit]

text: In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies, three of the Istari are featured as characters: Saruman (portrayed by Christopher Lee), Gandalf (played by Ian McKellen), and Radagast (portrayed by Sylvester McCoy). Gandalf mentions the two Blue Wizards in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but comments that he cannot recall their names; this is a reference to the fact that they went unnamed in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. In The Hobbit films, it is Radagast who first discovers the presence of the Necromancer at Dol Guldur, and alerts Gandalf who in turn informs the White Council, including Saruman. Gandalf is quick to deduce the Necromancer's true identity, but Saruman is reluctant to accept that Sauron could have returned. At the behest of Galadriel, Gandalf and Radagast meet at the tomb of the Nine Kings of Men, and then travel to Dol Guldur. Radagast is then sent to take word to the White Council while Gandalf enters Dol Guldur alone, where he confronts and is captured by Sauron. The White Council arrived in force to rescue him, with Saruman, Elrond, and Galadriel confronting the evil there while Radagast took Gandalf to safety. Saruman later forbade pursuit of Sauron, feeling that their foe would never be able to rise again, while Gandalf and Radagast later took part in The Battle of the Five Armies.

text: As in the novels, Saruman later joined forces with Sauron, though he retained his white robes and was not shown to be seeking the One Ring for his own use. He and Gandalf are the only wizards featured or mentioned in the Lord of the Rings films, and for the most part go through the same experiences as in the novels. However, as seen in the extended edition of The Return of the King, Saruman is killed by Wormtongue atop Orthanc rather than in The Shire. The films place a greater emphasis on the connection between the Wizards' powers being manifested through their staffs: Gandalf and Saruman are visibly seen employing their staffs in their battle inside Orthanc, and Gandalf is rendered helpless when Saruman takes his staff from him. In a departure from the books, Gandalf's staff is shattered during his confrontation with the Witch-king.

text: Commissioner Francis Xavier Reagan is a fictional character and the protagonist of the CBS TV series Blue Bloods.  He is portrayed by former Magnum P.I. star Tom Selleck.

text: Biography and family[edit]

text: Frank is the younger son of Henry (Len Cariou) and Betty Reagan, born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York in the early 1950s. His older brother, Peter Christopher Reagan, died of leukemia at the age of 18 months over a year before Frank was born.[1]

text: Frank married Mary Margaret Reagan in the early 1970s, and they have four children together: Danny, Erin, Joe, and Jamie.  Each of Frank's sons followed him into the NYPD: Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) is a Detective 1st Grade and lead investigator with the 54th Precinct's Detective Squad; Joe was a Detective with the Warrants Squad who was murdered on the orders of his partner Sonny Malevsky (Michael T. Weiss), the leader of a corrupt gang of police officers called the Blue Templar;[2] and Jamie (Will Estes) is a patrol officer assigned to the 12th Precinct with a law degree from Harvard University.  Frank's only daughter, Erin (Bridget Moynahan), is also in law enforcement as a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney.  Erin was promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief of the NYCDA's Trial Bureau in 2013.[3]

text: In addition to his children, Frank is also a loving grandfather to Erin's daughter, Nicky Reagan-Boyle (Sami Gayle), and Danny's two children, Jack (Tony Terraciano) and Sean Reagan (Andrew Terraciano).  In one episode, it is mentioned that Frank's wife's grandfather was one of the builders on the Brooklyn Bridge in the 1870s and '80s.[4]  Frank's dad's father, Charles Reagan, was an Irish immigrant who served in World War I before becoming a police officer.  Charles was the one who taught him how to fish.  In "Whistle Blower" (season 2, episode 10), Frank mentions his great-uncle Teddy Reagan, a member of the NYPD Mounted Unit, who spent a cold night in a boxcar with his horse, Dolly, and woke up in Pittsburgh.

text: Growing up, Frank became friends with Angelo Gallo (Chazz Palminteri), who grew up to be one of the top mafia lawyers.  After Gallo was shot on the orders of a former client, Frank has him publicly arrested for hindering prosecution, to protect him from being considered a rat.[5]  Another close friend of his is Monsignor Walter Donahue, a member of the city archdiocese.

text: However, it is also mentioned that Frank does not have many friends in the New York City Council,[6] especially after Danny's arrest of city Councilman Tony Mancini (Richard Burgi), a former NYPD detective, for domestic abuse.[7]

text: Service[edit]

text: After serving in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War (during which time he held the rank of Lieutenant and was awarded the Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal[8]), Frank became the third generation of Reagans to become a police officer.  He began his career as a patrol officer stationed at the 27th Precinct.  After three years on patrol, he was promoted to Detective 3rd Grade.  Since then, he has served in various positions across the city, including Chief of the Brooklyn South Division and the Chief of Department of the NYPD, culminating in being appointed Police Commissioner.

text: In the 1970s, Frank led the attempt to apprehend Whitey Brennan, the head of the Westies, at his grandson's baptism.  Due to the chaos, a shootout ensued in which two police officers were wounded and four people from the Westies were killed, including Whitey's wife and grandson.[9]

text: In the early 1980s, Frank served in the Canine Unit as a dog handler.  However, he transferred out of the unit after Greta, his partner, was shot and killed by a burglar Frank sent her in after.[10]

text: From 1995 to 1999, Frank was the Commanding Officer of the Special Investigations Unit, a special anti-narcotics task force.[11]

text: On September 11, 2001, Frank was working in the North Tower when the South Tower collapsed.  He spent days at Ground Zero, and took refuge at St. Paul's Chapel, where he and other officers slept in the pews.[12]

text: As a "Member Of the Service" (MOS) prior to 1994, Frank continues to carry a revolver (a Colt Official Police "Fitz Special" that originally belonged to his father and grandfather) as his duty weapon.[13]  He also owns a Colt Government M1911.[11]  At one point, he uses it on a serial rapist who was about to rape and kill Erin.

List of Blue Bloods characters

New York City Police Commissioner
Incumbent
Assumed office September 24, 2010Appointed by
Frank Russo  Carter PoolePreceded by
Commissioner Connors

text: Frank was appointed the Police Commissioner by Mayor Frank Russo (Bruce Altman).  In 2011, after the election of Carter Poole (David Ramsey), Frank offers to tender his resignation, but Poole decided to keep Frank on as PC.[14]  In 2015, after Mayor Poole's successful reelection, Frank struggles with whether he even wants to stay on for another four years as PC, assuming the Mayor even asks him to.  He ultimately decides to stay for "as long as the Mayor's head is in his ass" (which was remarked as indefinitely).  The Mayor officially asked Frank to re-up in February 2016 and he agrees.[15][16]

text: Frank has an indifferent attitude towards politics, often taking on the mayor and numerous reporters who misinterpret his actions.  He tries hard not to judge people, and tends to purse his lips together when hearing bad news or the horrific details of an ongoing case.  He also refuses to play favorites; in season 4, he mentions that he is afraid to recommend Jamie, now with four years on the force, for promotion to Detective because it would look like nepotism.[17]

text: In 2011, Frank was shot by Kevin Brennan (Jack Gwaltney), the son of the former head of the Westies who Frank arrested back in the '70s.[9]

text: In 2013, Frank is the target of an assassination attempt by Hector Santiago (Omar Maskati), a mentally-challenged teenager of the Bitterman housing projects who is tricked by a member of the Los Lordes gang who declared war on the NYPD.  The bullets miss Frank, but hit Mayor Poole, leaving him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.[18]

text: One of Frank's predecessors, "Crooked" Commissioner Connors, served time in a federal prison after his term as PC was completed and left him with more than one mess to clean up, including Officer Thomas Sculley (Warren Kole), one of four patrol officers who, a few months after 9/11, accidentally shot an unarmed Muslim teenager, and was acquitted of all charges and allowed by then-Commissioner Connors to keep his job.  In 2016, Officer Sculley, who had kept his head down for the last 14 years and made great strides to atone for his horrible rookie mistake, passed the Sergeant's exam with flying colors.  Frank was reluctant to promote him, lest tensions between the citizens and the police grow even worse and ultimately offered Officer Sculley a choice: transfer to another city (Long Island, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Boulder, Colorado, or San Diego were among the departments Frank talked to) or take his promotion to Sergeant and ride a desk at the NYPD Erie Basin Auto Pound in Brooklyn for the rest of his career.[19]

text: In the first season, Frank is well regarded and respected by his officers and his city, to the point where the Mayor felt threatened by his popularity; however, by season 6, public opinion regarding the police – and him personally – has changed so drastically that he gets booed off-stage while speaking at Columbia University.[20] However, in season 7, new mayor Margaret Dutton affirms that his polls are better than any of the NY Mayors[21]

text: Frank was nearly served with a vote of no confidence by the NYPD rank and file in 2012 when he publicly apologized for the accidental shooting of a black man by a rookie patrol officer (Corbin Bleu) instead of waiting for the official report.[22]

text: Senior staff[edit]

text: The following officers are among Frank's senior staff who assist him in his duties as the New York City Police Commissioner.

text: Detective First Grade Daniel Fitzgerald Reagan is the eldest son of Commissioner Frank Reagan. He is portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg.

text: Biography[edit]

text: The oldest son of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary, Danny grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with a younger sister, Erin, and two younger brothers, Joe and Jamie.  He was happily married to Linda since 1996, with whom he has two sons, Jack (b. 2000) and Sean (b. 2004), until Linda's death between seasons 7 and 8.  They lived on Staten Island until their home was destroyed in a fire in the season 7 finale, which was set by a drug cartel in retaliation to a recent bust Danny made.  During high school, Danny dated Marianne Romano (Charisma Carpenter), who was described by his partner Baez as "the queen bee, super good looking, a little crazy, and dynamite in the sack" to which he agreed.[30]  As a young man, Danny worked construction.

text: For a class project of Nicky's, Danny mentioned that when he was three years old, he wanted to be a firefighter for Halloween, but his grandfather Henry swore that as long as he was alive, no Reagan would ever be a member of the FDNY, got him into a police uniform, and he "never took it off" until he made Detective.[31]

text: On the job for 15 years (as of season 1), Danny took a leave of absence from the New York City Police Department to serve two tours in the Iraq War as a Marine.  Danny saw combat in Fallujah, and was the only member of his platoon to come home alive (resulting in some post-traumatic stress).[32]  During his time in the Marines, Danny was decorated for heroism.

text: He is old-school; his hotheadedness and harsh methods of detective work sometimes get him in trouble, which his father worries about.  When asked if his son "crosses the line" and violates procedure from time to time, Frank answered, "I think he walks on the line".[33] Danny is hard on other policemen and detectives when he feels they are unprofessional or not doing their duty to its utmost.  He is currently assigned to the Detective Squad of the 54th Precinct, and partnered with Detective Maria Baez. In "Most Wanted", it is mentioned that he leads the Manhattan South Detective Borough in both collars and complaints.[34] In "Love Stories", he and Baez are awarded the NYPD Medal for Valor for their actions in "Partners".

text: As a detective with the NYPD, Danny carries a Kahr K9 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon, and drives a Dodge Charger on duty, which replaced his previous Chevrolet Impala 9C1.  He also owns a Glock 19 in 9×19mm, and previously used a Smith & Wesson 5946 in 9×19mm.  Danny drove a Jeep XJ Cherokee as his personal/family vehicle from Season 1 to Season 5, whilst Linda drove a rather troublesome 2001 Kia Sedona/Carnival; this vehicle was replaced when Henry lost his driver's license and gave Linda his car.  In Season 6, Danny's Cherokee was replaced by a fourth-generation Ford Explorer.

text: Partners[edit]

text: Over his career, Danny has had numerous partners.

text:
Detective Darryl Reid (Malik Yoba)[35] – Partnered together for "eight months seven years ago" (c. 2008), Reid's career came to an end (and put Danny's in jeopardy) when it was revealed that he planted evidence to secure a murder conviction.
Detective DeMarcus King (Flex Alexander)[28]
Detective Ava Hotchkiss (Yvonna Kopacz Wright)[36] – First partner of Danny's when he was assigned to Major Crimes.
Detective First Grade Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito)[13] – From 2010 until 2012, Danny was primarily partnered with Detective Jackie Curatola at the 54th Precinct.  In 2012, Jackie took early retirement from the NYPD after starting to show signs of burning out.[37]
Detective Kate Lansing (Megan Ketch)[37] – Assigned to replace Detective Curatola in 2012, Detective Kate Lansing worked with Danny for almost three months.  She transferred back to Internal Affairs after the arrest of Captain Derek Elwood (Nestor Serrano), who framed Danny for possession of narcotics in order to prevent him from discovering his gambling problem.[38]
Detective Candice "Mac" McElroy (Megan Boone)[39] – A temporary addition to the 54th Precinct, Detective Candice McElroy briefly served as Danny's partner in 2013.
Detective First Grade Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez)[40] – Danny's partner since 2013. Previously spent three years with the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force until it was disbanded in 2011.

text: Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan is Frank Reagan's sole daughter.  She is portrayed by Bridget Moynahan.

text: Biography[edit]

text: A New York County Assistant District Attorney and single mother, Erin is the second child and only daughter of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary.  She grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, with three brothers, Danny, Joe, and Jamie.  It is implied throughout the series that she had something of a wild streak growing up (unlike her daughter).  In season 5, it is mentioned that she graduated top of her class from Columbia University; she later went on to attend Fordham University School of Law.[41]  In season 6, Erin celebrated her 40th birthday.[42]

text: Erin is divorced from John "Jack" Boyle (Peter Hermann), a criminal defense attorney, whom she met when they were 19.  In "Old Wounds", she finally changes her name from Erin Reagan-Boyle back to Erin Reagan.[43]  Since her divorce, Erin has had a few romantic interests.  She and her boss, District Attorney Charles Rosselini (Bobby Cannavale), flirted with each other and even shared a kiss after a date, but nothing ever came of it mainly due to Erin's reluctance with the idea of dating her boss.  In 2011, she met Jacob Krystal (Fred Weller) at an art gallery; she later learned that he was an art thief who returned once-stolen works to their rightful owners, and he left town.  In 2013, after being shot in a courtroom hostage situation, she started up a fling with her ex-husband Jack but broke up when they started getting serious again (lest he break her heart again, or their daughter find out that they were once again "hooking up").  In 2014, she met Robert McCoy, a defense attorney, on a speed-date, and the two became romantically involved until he was appointed interim District Attorney, at which point she said she can't sleep with her boss.

text: Erin is almost raped and killed in "Re-Do", though Frank saves her life by shooting her attacker dead.[44]  In "To Protect and Serve", Erin is taken hostage and shot in the arm at the courthouse.  She is saved by Danny after he says a coded message, "Please, don't hurt my family," after which she dropped to the ground, and Danny shot her assailant. It is revealed that their father taught them this when they were young, as a plan in case one of them was ever held at gunpoint.[45]

text: In "Working Girls", Erin is offered the position of Deputy Mayor of Operations by Mayor Poole, but she turns him down.[46]  In "Ends and Means", Erin is promoted from Senior Counsel to Deputy Bureau Chief of the Trial Bureau.[3]  In the season four finale, she filed a complaint against her boss, Bureau Chief Amanda Harris, upon learning she had abused her power.[47]  In season six, Erin was considered for a judgeship.[48]

text: Like the rest of her family, Erin is licensed to carry a firearm.  Her weapon of choice is the Glock 19 in 9×19mm and, according to Frank, she's a better shot than Danny and Jamie. In season 8, we found out Erin wanted to join the police force like her family, wanted to take the exam but it wasn't for her and chose law and become a prosecutor.[11]

text: Biography[edit]

text: A young police officer and recent Harvard Law School graduate, Jamie is the youngest child of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary.  Jamie grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with two older brothers, Danny and Joe, and an older sister, Erin. His shield number is 60528.

text: He is stationed at the 12th Precinct, and is partnered with Sgt. Anthony Renzulli (his training officer) in seasons one and two, Officer Vinny Cruz in season three, and Officer  Eddie  Janko since season four. During his first year on the job, Jamie was the one who continued Joe Reagan's investigation into the Blue Templar. In season two, he takes advantage of a chance opportunity to go undercover in the Sanfino crime family. In "Front Page News", Jamie gets his first kill in what he learns is a suicide by cop; the shooting leaves him with brief post-shooting trauma (more so since Bryant's death was found to be a suicide-by-cop), but between his family and the NYPD psychologist (Annabella Sciorra), he quickly recovers. In season four, he begins to express concerns because both his father and brother had made detective by that point in their careers, while he is still a patrol officer.  In season six, Jamie is studying for and is considering taking the Sergeant's exam; however, he ultimately decides against taking it.  In season seven, Frank gets wind from the ranks that he may be the only thing holding Jamie back from becoming a detective. When pressed, Jamie informs his father that he's happy where he is in his career and doesn't necessarily want another assignment.  In that same episode, it is mentioned that Jamie is the only NYPD employee with a Harvard Law degree that walks a beat.

text: While attending Harvard, Jamie met and became involved with Sydney Davenport and the two even got engaged. However, Sydney broke up with him a few months after he became a police officer when realizing the true danger of his career.

text: Since 2013, there has been significant romantic tension between Jamie and his patrol partner, Eddie Janko, with the two even sharing a kiss. Despite this, Jamie has chosen not to act on his feelings after learning that Sergeant Renzulli would reassign them to new road partners if they did. Despite agreeing to keep things professional, there remained lingering romantic tension between the two. In 2018, Jamie and Eddie get engaged along with choosing to remain as partners on the job after discovering there is no official rule against it.

text: As a uniformed patrol officer, Jamie drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon; while in plainclothes, Jamie uses the smaller Glock 26 in 9×19mm.[12]  While off-duty, Jamie drove his brother Joe's 1971 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS until it was sabotaged and totaled by the Blue Templar.[49]

text: Partners[edit]

text: Over his career, Jamie has had a few partners.

text:
Sergeant Anthony Renzulli (Nicholas Turturro)[28] – Jamie's training officer, Sgt. Renzulli knows the beat of his precinct very well and often offers Jamie good advice when he needs it. He believes Jamie will make a great cop, and often pokes fun at him for abandoning a lucrative law career.
Officer Vincent Cruz (Sebastian Sozzi)[22] – Jamie's partner who grew up in the Bitterman housing projects neighborhood of New York City. In "The Bitter End", Cruz and Jamie are patrolling near the Bitterman Houses and come across a purse snatcher who leads them on a chase through the project. The purse snatching proves to be a setup, and both officers find themselves under fire from Los Lourdes gang members. Cruz is hit twice in the neck and despite Jamie's best efforts, he dies at the scene from massive internal bleeding.[6]
Officer Edit "Eddie" Janko (Vanessa Ray)[50] – A younger police officer and Jamie's current partner. Feisty and strongly opinionated, she is very passionate when it comes to her job.  As of late, her latent romantic feelings for Jamie have become more apparent, but they mutually decided not to pursue a romantic relationship lest they lose their partnership. However, they announced their engagement to the Reagan family in the season 8 finale, "My Aim Is True".

text: Henry Reagan[edit]

text: Former Commissioner Henry Reagan is Frank Reagan's father.  He is portrayed by Len Cariou.

text: Biography[edit]

text: The retired Police Commissioner and father of Frank (grandfather of Danny, Erin, Jamie, and the late Joe; great-grandfather of Nicky, Sean, and Jack). His childhood during the 1920s and 1930s was hard due to his father, Charles, an Irish immigrant, World War I veteran and former police officer, being an alcoholic and unable to hold a job.  Henry was a Marine in World War II and Korea, and joined the NYPD in 1952. He got married in 1955. Like his grandson Danny, Henry is socially conservative and hates the political correctness of modern law and order. His wife of 46 years, Betty, died December 2, 2001. It is later revealed that Henry and Betty had another son, Peter Christopher, who died of leukemia at the age of 18 months, over a year before Frank was born.

text: In "Bad Blood", it was revealed that he once rode with one of the first female patrol officers, Colleen McGuire (Anita Gillette).  Henry admitted that they both had romantic feelings for each other, but never acted on them since he was married. He had his boss reassign Colleen to a different partner to avoid putting his marriage at further risk, but remained good friends with her.[10]

text: In "Stomping Grounds", it was mentioned that Henry, during his days as a Detective with the Vice Squad, transferred out of the unit when he started to see every woman on the street as a hooker.[51]

text: In "Town Without Pity", Henry mentioned that during the New York City blackout of 1977 he was stationed in the South Bronx.[52]

text: Notes[edit]

text:
Len Cariou, separated in age from Tom Selleck by only six years, wears make-up and a dental prosthetic to appear older.
In "A Night on the Town" is revealed that Betty had a wooden box in which she put all her "treasures". One of these treasures is a U.S. Army Master sergeant insignia that can't be Henry's or Frank's insignia because they served in the United States Marine Corps.

text: Linda Reagan[edit]

text: Nurse Linda Rose Reagan (née O'Shea) was Danny Reagan's wife.  She was portrayed by Daytime Emmy-nominated actress, Amy Carlson.

text: Biography[edit]

text: The wife of Danny from 1996–2017 and mother of their two sons. She loves her husband and the Reagan family, but at times, Danny's obsessive attitude toward collaring criminals makes her wonder whether he views his job as a higher priority than his family. In seasons one and two, she is a stay-at-home mom, but she returns to her nursing job at St. Victor's Medical Center in season three.[22]

text: She has an older sister, Wendy (Laurie Williams), and a niece, Sofie, who is a fashion model.[53] She has a brother, Jimmy O'Shea (Kevin Dillon), who has been in and out of trouble with the law.[54]

text: In "New Rules", Linda is shot at the hospital by a teenage gangbanger who had been ordered to kill a witness, but she eventually makes a full recovery.[55] In "Under the Gun," Linda is mugged while working a community health van in the projects, and uses her father-in-law's influence to bypass the New York City pistol permitting process to obtain an unresricted concealed carry permit and buys a .38 Special Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver. Ultimately she decides she does not want to carry after all, and gives the pistol to Danny.[56]

text: On May 28, 2017 (between seasons 7 and 8), Linda died in a medivac helicopter crash while tending to a patient being air lifted to the hospital.

text: Nicky Reagan-Boyle[edit]

text: Nicole Reagan is Erin Reagan's daughter.  She is portrayed by Sami Gayle.

text: Biography[edit]

text: Erin's daughter, born October 14, 1996, aspires to become an officer like the rest of her family. As of "Old Wounds", she is 16 years old.[43] In season five, she is a high school senior preparing for college; in season six, she is attending Columbia University, her mother's alma mater. She is a very curious young girl and is not afraid to question her uncle Danny and great-grandfather about police matters, often challenging their old school conservatism. During the initial seasons her willingness to be a nonconformist was emphasized by her short hair, but in later seasons she grew it out. She wanted to join the family business as the first female Reagan to be a cop. In season 8, Nicky takes the police exam, over her mother's objections.

text: Notes[edit]

text: In the pilot episode, Nicky is portrayed by Marlene Lawston.

text: Associates of Frank[edit]

text: Frank Russo/Robert Levitt[edit]

text: The Mayor of New York City who appointed Frank Reagan to the position of New York City Police Commissioner.[28]  He lost the 2011 election to Carter Poole (David Ramsey), who succeeded him as Mayor. While he is credited as the character "Frank Russo" in Season 1, his name is never actually mentioned. He makes a return appearance in Season 3 when his daughter is arrested by Jamie and Vinny for smoking pot. Here, his character is introduced as "Former Mayor Robert Levitt".  He is portrayed by Bruce Altman.

text: Carter Poole[edit]

text: Elected to the position of Mayor of New York City in 2011,[14] Carter Poole and Frank butt heads on occasion, but the two have a mutual respect for each other that Poole says went back to his childhood when Frank was a beat cop in his neighborhood and used to look out for the children. In "Parenthood", it is mentioned that he attended Yale University and that he has an illegitimate daughter who does not know about him, aside from the fact that he is the mayor.[59] In "This Way Out", he's shot in an assassination attempt during a town hall meeting by a mentally-challenged teenager who was tricked by a member of the Los Lordes gang operating out of the Bitterman Housing Projects.[18] The shooting leaves the mayor paralyzed from the waist down, confining him to a wheelchair, but does not prevent him from discharging his duties as Mayor.[60]  In 2015, he is reelected for another term as Mayor.[15] In 2017, he resigns as Mayor because he is burned out and feels he is not the man to lead the city any longer.

text: He is portrayed by David Ramsey.

text: Margaret Dutton[edit]

text: The New York City Public Advocate under Mayor Carter Poole, Margaret Dutton ascended to the position of interim Mayor of New York City in 2017 after the Mayor's resignation. She is portrayed by Lorraine Bracco.

text: As Mayor, she is aided by Carlton Miller, who is portrayed by Mark Linn-Baker.

text: Martin Mendez[edit]

text: The Governor of New York, known for his thin skin.  He is portrayed by David Zayas.

text: Abigail Baker[edit]

text: Detective 1st Grade Abigail Baker is a member of the Police Commissioner's (Detective) Squad who serves as Frank's primary aide. She was credited in Season 1 as "Det. Melissa Baker", however was referred to as Abigail throughout the season and the name was changed in Season 2. Baker is portrayed by Abigail Hawk.

text: In "Manhattan Queens", Baker was harassed by Suffolk County Police Department Deputy Chief Sam DeLuca, who had a romantic interest in her. In the same episode it is revealed that she is from Ocean Bay Park and her parents still live there. She speaks fluent Japanese.[61] Frank mentions she is happily married in season 6 when questioned by his former partner Lenny. She subsequently became pregnant and gave birth during season 7. Having been with Frank for nine years as of season 8's "Heavy Is the Head", Baker longs for more active detective work despite Frank's assurances that he needs her and often leans on her detective's instincts. She receives an offer working for newly-promoted Captain Bullman, who used to be her sergeant, but Frank refuses to let her resign. Frank reluctantly tells Abigail later that he found out Bullman mainly wanted to hire her to have someone in his ranks who could pull favors at 1PP.

text: Garrett Moore[edit]

text: The NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, who becomes Frank's de facto chief of staff.  Before becoming Frank's DCPI, Garrett was a reporter.  He has been married and divorced three times, and has a stepson, whom he has tried to keep out of trouble. Garrett and Frank have a rather complex relationship; for example, Frank often expresses dismay when Garrett comes into his office unannounced but also seemingly values his perspective. Furthermore, many episodes depict the two debating an issue regarding what information should or should not be released to the public.  In "Nightmares", a woman in Atlantic City, New Jersey accused him of rape, but the allegations were proven to be false when it was revealed that the woman in question was a prostitute who slept with rich married men and then blackmailed them.[37]  He is portrayed by Gregory Jbara.

text: Dino Arbogast[edit]

text: Formerly the Organized Crime Control Bureau Chief,[62] Dino Arbogast was promoted to Chief of Department (the highest-ranking uniformed police officer) by Frank after the retirement of the previous Chief, Ed Hines.[50]  Dino maintains this role for season 4, until the finale, when he's forced to resign after being caught on video committing lewd acts with an escort hired by a recently deceased brothel madam, and lying about it, and benching Danny in an attempt to keep the act from being discovered.[47]  He is portrayed by John Ventimiglia.

text: Kelly Peterson[edit]

text: The newly appointed Inspector General of the NYPD,[57] Kelly Peterson is a former member of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey.  In the season 4 finale, Peterson tells Commissioner Reagan about her intent to resign, after finding that she does not have enough "professional animosity" toward the NYPD due to becoming too close to Frank.[47]  She is portrayed by Bebe Neuwirth.

text: In season 8, Peterson returns as the Corporation Counsel of New York City.

text: Sidney Gormley[edit]

text: The Supervisor of the 54th Precinct's Detective Squad, Sergeant Sidney Gormley was Danny's boss for over four years.  He was frequently exasperated by his subordinate.  He lives in New Hyde Park with his wife, Sheila (Cady Huffman), and, according to the certificate in his office, is a graduate of New York University.  In "Flags of Our Fathers", Gormley mentions that he is a veteran, and that he lost a grandfather and two uncles in the service.[35]

text: Early in season 5, Gormley is reassigned by Frank to One Police Plaza and appointed as Dino's replacement as Chief of Department. However, due to Gormley not being high enough in rank to be eligible for Chief of Department (who must be at least a captain or higher), he is given the job title "Special Assistant to the Commissioner", which gives him the authorities of the Chief of Department though not the pay grade or privileges. In this capacity, Gormley acts as Frank's liaison to the rank and file.[63]  He is later on promoted to Lieutenant.[64] He is portrayed by Robert Clohessy.

text: Senior NYPD officers[edit]

text:
First Deputy Commissioner Vincenzo, NYPD – Frank's 2nd-in-Command; he was considered for the position of New York City Police Commissioner, but the Mayor ultimately appointed Frank to the position.[9]  He is portrayed by John Bedford Lloyd.

text: Associates of Danny[edit]

text: Jackie Curatola[edit]

text: Detective 1st Grade Jackie Curatola was Danny's previous partner; she is divorced and is regularly the recipient of passes or ogling from her uniformed colleagues and perps alike, much to her annoyance. In 2012, Jackie took early retirement from the NYPD after starting to show signs of burning out.[37]  She is portrayed by Jennifer Esposito.

text: As a detective with the NYPD, Jackie carried a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as her duty weapon.

text: Kate Lansing[edit]

text: Assigned to replace Detective Curatola in 2012, Detective Kate Lansing worked with Danny for almost three months.  She transferred back to Internal Affairs after the arrest of Captain Derek Elwood (Nestor Serrano), who framed Danny for possession of narcotics in order to prevent him from discovering his gambling problem.[38]  She is portrayed by Megan Ketch.

text: Maria Baez[edit]

text: Danny's partner since 2013 (and someone Danny has known for 15 years), Detective 1st Grade Maria Baez previously spent three years with the NYPD's Joint Bank Robbery Task Force until it was disbanded in 2011.  In "Bad Blood", it is revealed that she has an older brother, Javier (Kirk Acevedo), who is a recovering drug addict,[10] and her mother, Carmen Baez (Saundra Santiago), and her sister, Ana Baez (Liza Colón-Zayas), are introduced in "Stomping Grounds".[51]  Before transferring to the 54th Precinct, Maria fell hard for Detective Jimmy Mosely (Johnathon Schaech), but their relationship fizzled out when he refused to leave his wife for her.[19]

text: In "Partners", Javier revealed that he is an informant for the DEA against a drug cartel; he dies saving Maria's life in a raid on that cartel.[68] In "Love Stories", she and Danny are awarded the NYPD Medal for Valor for their actions in "Partners". During season 7, Danny claims that Baez has difficulty establishing or maintaining romantic relationships. She is portrayed by Marisa Ramirez.

text: Dee Ann Carver[edit]

text: The new Commander of the 54th Precinct's Detective Squad, Lieutenant Dee Ann Carver is Danny's strict, by-the-book boss who took over after Sgt. Gormley was transferred to 1PP.[34]  She is portrayed by LaTanya Richardson Jackson.

text: Associates of Erin[edit]

text: Jack Boyle[edit]

text: Erin's ex-husband and Nicky's father, Jack Boyle is a formidable defense attorney.  Due to his actions after the divorce (including moving away and not keeping in contact with his daughter), Jack is not very well liked by the adults in the Reagan family (although his nephews, Jack and Sean, are both excited to see him when he returns to New York).[43]  When Danny was framed for narcotics possession, Henry hired Jack as his attorney.[38]

text: Jack and Erin briefly got back together after surviving a courtroom hostage crisis,[45] but Erin ended it when they started getting serious again (lest he break her heart again, or their daughter find out that they were once again "hooking up").

text: Jack did return in 2017 to represent a man that Erin is trying to convict. This time Jack came out on top. Erin also learned of Jack's relationship with a woman who is a few years older than Nicky, which did not last long. Late in season 8, Erin confesses to Anthony that she is dating Jack again.

text: Jack is portrayed by Peter Hermann.

text: Charles Rosselini[edit]

text: Erin's boss in the first season, Charles Rosselini is the New York County District Attorney with aspirations of higher office.  He is portrayed by Bobby Cannavale.

text: Amanda Harris[edit]

text: The Bureau Chief of the Manhattan District Attorney's Trial Bureau, Amanda Harris promoted Erin to Deputy Bureau Chief.[3]  She almost fires Erin after she calls her out on violating Brady Rules by not providing the defense with video footage that may have exonerated a previous rape suspect; Harris ends up keeping Erin, saying that she needs someone like her to keep her in check. Regardless of this, Harris is eventually arrested after Erin finds out that she has a long-standing deal with a recently deceased high-profile madam who has her people seduce high-profile New Yorkers of major influence – like high-level cops, politicians, pro athletes, and various celebrities – and get them on tape in order to guarantee their assistance whenever she needs it. (Whether this assistance is solely for cases or possibly for darker, personal reasons is left open to speculation.)[47]  She is portrayed by Amy Morton.

text: Robert McCoy[edit]

text: A defense attorney Erin met on a speed-date.  He was an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn for twelve years before leaving to join private practice in 2008.[17]  After Bureau Chief Amanda Harris was fired, McCoy was appointed the interim New York County District Attorney.  This caused Erin to break off their relationship, saying she can't sleep with her boss.[69]  He is portrayed by Holt McCallany.

text: As the interim DA, McCoy came into conflict with Commissioner Reagan when he announced that the DA's office did not plan on prosecuting petty marijuana possession charges.[70]

text: Alex McBride[edit]

text:
A member of the DA's Investigations Unit who assists Erin with her cases.  He is portrayed by James Lesure.
In 1995, McBride's mother was murdered in an unsolved robbery.  When Erin finds the case in a cold-case pile, she runs DNA found at the scene, which reveals what McBride already suspected, but was afraid to confirm: that his father had been responsible.[71]

text: Anthony Abetemarco[edit]

text: A Detective for the DA's Investigations Unit who assists Erin with her cases.  In "Friends in Need" it is revealed his cousin is Joey Ruscoli (Anthony DeSando) and his aunt is Sophia Ruscoli (Catherine Wolf). In "Good Cop Bad Cop" it is revealed that his mother is Lucille Abetemarco (Suzanne Shepherd).  In "The Brave" it is revealed that his ex-wife is Vivien Abetemarco (Diana Bologna) and that his daughter is Sophia Abetemarco (Isabel Harper Leight). He and Danny don't personally get along, but are willing to work together when necessary. He is portrayed by Steve Schirripa.

text: Associates of Jamie[edit]

text: Anthony Renzulli[edit]

text: Jamie's first partner and Training Officer, Sergeant Tony Renzulli knows the beat of his precinct very well and often offers Jamie good advice when he needs it. He believes Jamie will make a great cop, and often pokes fun at him for abandoning a lucrative law career. He was also the Training Officer for Joe. In season 3, he moves to an apparent desk job managing the patrolmen of the 12th Precinct.  He is married, and has a side job painting to make extra money; he is also a gambler, but quit after Frank bailed him out of a $3,000 debt (with it made clear that this is a one-time offer).  He is portrayed by Nicholas Turturro.

text: As a uniformed patrol supervisor, Sgt. Renzulli drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon.

text: Vinny Cruz[edit]

text: Vinny, shield number 59910, is Jamie's partner in season 3. He's a child of the Bittarman housing projects in Brooklyn. In "The Bitter End", he is killed when he and Jamie are lured by a purse snatcher into the Bittarman projects, and Vinny is shot by a sniper on a rooftop.[6] He is posthumously promoted to Detective 1st Grade.[18]  He was portrayed by Sebastian Sozzi.

text: As a uniformed patrol officer, Vinny drove a patrol car on duty and carried a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon.

text: Eddie Janko[edit]

text: Jamie's current partner and fiancèe, Officer Edit "Eddie" Janko (pronounced "eh-DEET[72]") is of mixed Hungarian and Serbian descent.  Feisty and strongly opinionated, she is very passionate when it comes to her job.  She is portrayed by Vanessa Ray.

text: Eddie's mother immigrated from Serbia and she herself is fluent in the Serbian language, which comes in handy when Danny recruits her to bust a sex trafficking ring.[73] Her father, Armin Janko (William Sadler) was a financial advisor before his company was revealed to be involved in a Ponzi scheme, ruining a lot of good people.  As a result, he is serving a prison sentence. He gets a lighter sentence after busting a prison guard drug ring.

text: In "The Bullitt Mustang", Eddie is one of several police officers charged with official misconduct by the acting New York County District Attorney for fixing her 90-year-old neighbor's parking tickets; the charges are subsequently dropped after Frank and Erin work out a deal.[42]

text: In "Back in the Day", Eddie reveals her aspirations of making detective, having signed herself and Jamie up for a surveillance assignment for one of the precinct's detectives. While awaiting their target, Eddie chose to remain at her post when Jamie chose to respond to an officer-down call, which proved to be false. This led to a brief conflict between them, with Jamie threatening to get a new partner if she ever goes against an emergency call again.[24]

text: There has been significant romantic tension between Eddie and Jamie since the middle of season four, the two even sharing a kiss. Despite their attraction, Jamie had chosen not to act on his feelings after learning that Renzulli would reassign them to new partners per NYPD protocol. Nevertheless, there continued to be romantic tension lingering between the two, which had become much more apparent when they both acknowledged to each other how they feel, leading to another kiss. Despite this, they agreed not to further act on their feelings since they don't wish to jeopardize their partnership. In the season 8 finale, after a life-threatening situation, Jamie and Eddie accepted their feelings and got engaged. When they announced their engagement to the Reagan family, Frank offered Eddie her choice of a new precinct assignment. However, Jamie pointed out that there is no actual regulation prohibiting married NYPD officers from being partnered on the job. Therefore, they have decided to remain partners as well.

text: As a uniformed patrol officer, Eddie drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as her duty weapon.

text: Others[edit]

text: Darnell Potter[edit]

text: A community social-activist preacher, portrayed by Ato Essandoh, who feels it is his duty to protect people of color (particularly those in his neighborhood) from the brutality and racial profiling of the NYPD. In "Excessive Force", when a criminal Danny was pursuing purposely jumped out a window and falsely claimed that Danny pushed him. Potter, seeking to further his own agenda, relocated a young witness and his entire illegal family, and demanded to Commissioner Reagan to have his son take an early retirement. Potter is nearly arrested by Commissioner Reagan for witness tampering, but Frank lets him off with a warning in order for him to save face with his congregation.[63]  In season 7 Potter suffers a personal tragedy when his teenage son is murdered by one of the youths he once sheltered; Frank consoles him, revealing that his son Joe was killed by a corrupt cop.  This, along with Danny's successful capture of the killer, softens some of Potter's bitterness towards the Reagans.

The series was commissioned in 2013 by the BBC, and was initially made available on BBC iPlayer.[2] Inspiration for the show, for co-creators Tim Reid and Paul Coleman, included Alfred Molina and Dawn French in the BBC's Roger & Val Have Just Got In and The Smoking Room. Paul Coleman pitched the idea to Peter Kay, whom he had previously worked with on Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere.[1]
The programme was mainly filmed in and around Manchester, Farnworth (Bolton), Westhoughton, Horwich, Swinton, Bury, Walkden, Altrincham (Trafford) and Little Hulton (Salford).

text: John and Kayleigh's place of work was portrayed as being the Manchester Fort retail park in the city's Cheetham Hill area, but was in reality  filmed around the goods entrance and car park at the back of the large Halfords Autocentre off Viaduct Way in the Broadheath area of Altrincham. The exterior was dressed with fake windows containing large images of fresh fruit and vegetables, with car park features, trolleys, staff uniforms and signage in the style and colours of Tesco. In episode 3 of series 1 two members of Halfords staff in their gold and black uniforms can be seen in the unloading bay as John and Kayleigh drop off their colleague "Stink" Ray (Reece Shearsmith) the fishmonger.

text: The Forever FM presenters are voiced by Rob Charles (Mike on the "Mike and his Morning Muesli" breakfast show),[7] and Martin Emery (Andy on the "Big Drive Home" drivetime show).[8] The fictional radio station was created by Salford-based audio creative company Kalua, and its tagline is "Forever FM: playing timeless hits, now and forever".

text: In May 2016, filming began on the second and final series.[9] On 3 December Peter Kay announced that the second series will be broadcast on BBC in April 2017.  An exclusive scene was aired during Peter Kay's Christmas Comedy Shuffle on BBC One on Christmas Eve 2016.[10][11]  The first two episodes of the second series were given an advance screening at Vue Cinemas for Red Nose Day 2017.  The full series was made available on BBC iPlayer from 11 April 2017.[12]

text: On 2 May 2017, Kay announced that there would not be a third series or a Christmas special, however, [13] on 17 November 2017, it was announced that a final episode would be broadcast in 2018, in addition to a one-off unscripted episode.[14]

text: Reception[edit]

text:
An exclusive screening of all six episodes of the first series was held in Blackpool on 28 March 2015, in aid of Chorley children’s hospice Derian House.[15]
The entire first series was briefly available on BBC iPlayer where it became the most watched series to be released as a box set.[16]  Critic Grace Dent wrote "I laughed over and over again, loudly and gracelessly, during BBC1's Car Share".[17]

While John is excited about his new hands-free phone kit, Kayleigh is more excited about the Beyonce concert she attended yesterday night. John gets road rage at a school crossing, which causes a builder to throw his egg sandwich at the car when John makes him angry. This results in a visit to the car wash to clean the now dirty windscreen, and while they are there, Kayleigh's unusual fear of water is discovered when she suffers a panic attack. Thankfully, John's support and a daydream to MMMBop gets her through. (The dream sequence features a Bedknobs and Broomsticks style animation featuring Kayleigh swimming under water). During the work shift, Kayleigh falls out with boss Dave Thompson over an incident on fruit and veg, leaving repercussions for the journey home.

It's John's Nana Rose's birthday but he's forgotten to post her card. He tries to put things right on the way to work but falls while posting her card, and badly injures his arm. To make matters worse, Kayleigh has agreed to take her niece Chloe and nephew Alfie to school, meaning they will share the car that morning too. When they finish work Kayleigh must drive an injured John home, but colleague Rachel's interest in John and some bad news from her brother Kieran are on Kayleigh's mind. As John drifts off in a daydream, he imagines himself, in a leather jacket and Beatle cut, singing Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman" with Rachel from work as a lithe, cat-suited red devil-woman, dancing tauntingly around him. Both John and Kayleigh's day goes from bad to worse when the car breaks down after Kayleigh fills it with petrol instead of diesel.

After moving in with her sister Mandy and her family, Kayleigh is now travelling to work on her own by bus and train, but cannot resist temptation and repeatedly calls John. Eventually, after at least 8 phone calls between them, John secretly gives Kayleigh the directions to his car and the pair are reunited and back where they belong. Road rage leads to a video of John verbally abusing and threatening a cyclist going viral, much to the amusement of Kayleigh. It is raining after work so John offers her a lift home, where he meets and bonds with her brother in law Steve (Guy Garvey) who is obsessed with bikes, and tells Kayleigh he will keep giving her lifts to work every morning even though it will take him an extra 45 minutes to do so.

John and Kayleigh are full of high spirits as they head off on their annual works do, with him dressed as Harry Potter and her as Hagrid, but things don't go according to plan when John is lumbered with taking both drunk Elsie (Conleth Hill) off deli who is dressed as Smurfette, and also a drunk Kayleigh home. Elsie's mischievous nature makes John feel uncomfortable, along with Elsie's constant spilling of store gossip - including some about John and Kayleigh. After taking Elsie home, John and Kayleigh begin to get close but their moment is interrupted when Elsie rings up to say that she has left her inhaler in the car and can't breathe, leaving a flustered John with no other choice but to drive all the way back to her home.

Eventually he agrees to ditching work (after visiting his friend Litchy at the Wigan store) and decides to go to Seaview Safari Park with Kayleigh. As the pair enjoy a picnic in the car, they become startled as monkeys fight and begin to use John's car as a climbing frame.

The baby monkey attacks John and Kayleigh, but they eventually manage to get him in the car, where he causes more trouble. They fail to send him back to Seaview Safari as it has closed for the day.

John enlists the help of his Nana Rose reluctantly to wait in for a parcel delivery. Kayleigh can't find her house key and is stuck inside her sister Mandy's house so John attempts to pick the lock with a hair pin before resorting to trying to pull Kayleigh out through a small window, which doesn't go according to plan. John and Kayleigh chat about her favourite film Dirty Dancing and Michael Jackson on their way to work. On the way home from work, Kayleigh keeps asking John if he thinks they are an us, and whether he would like them to see each other more, but he keeps dodging her questions. As the final episode concludes and the pair sit stuck in gridlock, Kayleigh declares her love for John and believes that he doesn't feel the same way, so she leaves the car and gets into a taxi while crying. But she just missed a dedication John had sent in to Forever FM which is his own way of declaring his love for her. In a daydream, John is seen walking and jumping over other cars to the taxi where he finds Kayleigh, takes her hand and tells her he loves her too then they kiss in the road with the other drivers and passengers who got out of their cars cheering. But in reality, in a phone call to Nana Rose, John says that he is 'done' as Kayleigh's taxi starts moving again. It looks like he has given up on her, but has he really?

text: Despite initially saying that the series ended with Series 2 Episode 4[20], on 17 November 2017 it was announced during Children in Need that the show would return for an unscripted episode, as well as a final episode to end the series in 2018[21]. The unscripted episode aired on 7 May and the final episode, which sees John and Kayleigh beginning a romantic relationship together, aired on 28 May.[22] Writing in The Telegraph Veronica Lee gave the episode five stars out of five, describing the final episode as "perfect, uproarious, adorable", while Simon Binns, of the Manchester Evening News, commented: "It's cheesy, feel good, but lacks the drama of the previous episode."[22]

Note: Chronologically, this episode takes place before series 2 episode 4.
In this completely ad-libbed one-off episode, John and Kayleigh drive through Salford to and from work, commenting on the songs and adverts playing on Forever FM, and talking about everything from what the U stands for in club sandwich to films they have never seen. Kayleigh says that her first boyfriend was called Danny ('but he was a "holding hands" boyfriend'). John, in contrast, says that he was having sex when he was thirteen. At the end of the episode, John tells Kayleigh that men have needs, and hints he wants to have sex with her but she does not seem keen. She would rather snuggle on the sofa with a takeaway and accidentally on purpose invites herself round to John's for a dinner date.

Set the day after Series 2 Episode 4, John arrives at Kayleigh's house at dawn, leaving a present for her with Steve. He drives to work alone, checking his phone constantly for a message from Kayleigh. She opens her present on the bus: It's a Walkman containing an original song from John, which he had stayed up all night to record, as an apology. The song is accompanied by a parody video to Back for Good by Take That. John picks her up from their usual meeting spot. Arriving at work, they admit their feelings for one another, and agree to take things slowly. After work, they dissect a wedding invite from their work colleagues, and treat themselves to a drive-thru meal. While stopped at traffic lights, Kayleigh suddenly leaves the car to rescue a hedgehog in the road, causing a traffic collision behind her. As John gets out to help, his car door is knocked off by a passing van. John and Kayleigh ride home on the bus, listening to John's homemade song and holding hands.
