Blue Bloods Is Better With Joe Hill: Why CBS Should Bring Back Its Most Controversial Character

“Blue Bloods” took a bold step by introducing Joe Hill (Will Hochman), a controversial character from the fourth generation of Reagan grandchildren. Unique in his upbringing away from the family, Joe challenges the Reagan family’s traditions and provides a fresh perspective on their behavior. While some fans resisted his inclusion due to his conception out of wedlock, Joe’s presence forced the Reagans to confront their flaws and adapt to change. His questioning of their moral authority added depth to the storytelling and pushed characters like Frank Reagan to reevaluate their beliefs. Joe’s impact on the family dynamics highlighted the complexities of familial relationships and provided viewers with a fresh outlook on the long-established Reagan clan.
