As Boston Blue<\/em> prepares for an explosive season finale, Sonequa Martin-Green<\/strong> teased a difficult revelation.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a journey I take as Lena Silver. There\u2019s some threads of it in the beginning of the season [and] you\u2019ll begin to see us delving into some really serious things,\u201d Martin-Green exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> about what continues to be to return.<\/p>\n Martin-Green warned that there \u201cwere difficult stories to inform.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI applaud Brandon Sonnier \u2014 our coshowrunner \u2014 since the Silver family relies on his family. There are a whole lot of dynamics in Lena\u2019s life which might be based on his life,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo that is real and that is authentic. That is his experience. So I’m just so excited for people to see it since it\u2019s rough. It\u2019s rough stuff that Lena is about to undergo for the remainder of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout the Friday, April 10, episode of the Blue Bloods<\/em> spinoff, Lena was seen asking her mother, Mae (Gloria Reuben<\/strong>), for more details on her birth father. Mae was reluctant to open up concerning the past \u2014 and that can proceed to be addressed on the show.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to have a ripple effect. It\u2019s going to be time for this family to begin unearthing some serious stuff. We went there and we went to those difficult places since the story was just really necessary,\u201d the actress noted. \u201cI\u2019m really hoping that folks can relate to it and may see examples of it in their very own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n Martin-Green recalled a mess of conversations being sparked on screen.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re only one example of it. We\u2019re a pretend example but I believe that sometimes examples are needed to be seen,\u201d she continued. \u201cLena is a cool cat \u2014 as I wish to call her \u2014 and it\u2019s nice if you get to see layers with any person like that. She is self-assured, confident and carries herself with ease and smoothness. It\u2019s really good storytelling to see someone like that be broken down and humbled.\u201d<\/p>\n Lena was introduced to Us when Boston Blue<\/em> premiered in October 2025. Along with being Danny\u2019s (Donnie Wahlberg<\/strong>) recent partner, Martin-Green\u2019s character brought in a brand new fictional family into the Blue Bloods universe: the Silvers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re standing on the shoulders of Blue Bloods and there\u2019s so many amazing characters and relationships,\u201d she told Us. \u201cI don\u2019t take that frivolously.\u201d<\/p>\n Martin-Green did use the chance to take what Blue Bloods built to pave the way in which for more authentic and necessary storytelling. Through Lena, Martin-Green was thrilled to expand the world with stories while offering insight right into a Boston detective finding her place while a part of a noted police family.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been the detectives on the BPD that actually made an impact on me. It was amazing to have the option to be there in person and see after which continuing to have those conversations on set is just invaluable,\u201d she shared. \u201cWe ask them for a few of every thing and so they are so open and willing and collaborative and gracious and generous with their stories which might be difficult. I\u2019ve been learning quite a bit about what it means to be a cop. I\u2019m pulling from all of the resources that I even have around me.\u201d<\/p>\n The work didn\u2019t stop with the scenes Martin-Green filmed. She also spoke to Us<\/em> about constructing Lena out through her wardrobe as well, saying, \u201cIt’s a conversation that we proceed to have about finding that balance since you don\u2019t need to be able where you\u2019re standing out but you furthermore mght need to be put together. There\u2019s something so elegant to me about Lena but additionally understated. The suits are a necessity because I even have to wear those. Nevertheless it was about, let\u2019s work with certain cuts which have more of a femininity to them. It\u2019s great to only dive into your femininity and into your softness because you’ve to have that masculine shield up if you\u2019re at work.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cYou have got to place that force field up since the job just requires it. But if you\u2019re home, you possibly can be soft and you possibly can sink into that softness. I would like to continue to grow in that and I appreciate that it’s a collaboration and that we’re capable of have these conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking ahead, Martin-Green is worked up about where the show goes from here.<\/p>\n![\"Boston](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Sonequa-550rt.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
