Blue Bloods fans are in for a big surprise when the series returns, as it’s been revealed that Danny Reagan — played by Donnie Wahlberg — will cross paths with a major recurring character. According to Cheat Sheet, Lou Diamond Phillips will be turning up on Blue Bloods again as Luis Delgado, sometime before the season is over. The two men have a bad blood between them, as Delgado was last seen being put behind bars for being involved with the cartel responsible for the death of Danny’s wife, Linda.
It’s true! Special thanks to #ProdigalSon and @jasonsokoloff for cutting me loose long enough to drop in on my buddy @DonnieWahlberg and the rest of his fabulous #BlueBloods family! https://t.co/z1eW33KfOH

Linda was killed off of the show after Amy Carlson — the actress who played her — opted not to renew her contract with the series. Since Linda’s death, the writers and producers have used the tragic loss as plot and motivation for Wahlberg’s character.
