She surprised Danny — and viewers — by hitting pause on their relationship.
“She’s in a crisis. She’s undecided what to do,” Wahlberg, 56, exclusively told Us Weekly at CBS Fest on Wednesday, April 15. “Danny may be very stubborn [though so] he ain’t taking place with out a fight.”
Wahlberg, who has played Danny since 2010, urged fans not to fret an excessive amount of yet, adding, “They have to hold out hope for [them to] rekindle [their romance].” Wahlberg’s onscreen costar — and Danny’s partner — Sonequa Martin-Green weighed in on the twist.

“I grew up watching General Hospital and All My Children and [I remember when] Laura disappeared,” he recalled “Laura disappeared and Luke was heartbroken and everybody’s like, ‘Oh man. Laura quit the show.’ Guess what? She got here back and he ran and he hugged her. Then she left again. But that’s OK, it’s TV!”
Elsewhere within the episode, Sarah’s (Maggie Lawson) personal life was way more successful with Seth (Mike Vogel) popping the query moments before Danny and Maria’s split.

She continued: “I like that we showed that in the way in which that we did but it surely’s also really heartbreaking. So I’d say, I’m sorry that we were those to bring on that basically brutal conversation.”
