Will Estes made that unexpected revelation during a 2021 interview with Glitter Magazine. He did so in answer to a question about what he likes best about the relationship, first noting, "I never wanted them to get together. I hated the idea." Estes then offered some sound reasoning as to why he was so against the relationship. "I thought it would be the end of the storyline," he said. "We would be missing the lesson from shows like 'The X-Files,' where the two characters wanting to be together but not wanting to cross the line provided tension and drama to explore."
However, it would seem that Estes has since done a complete 180 on the subject. Estes' dramatic turnaround clearly has a lot to do with his working relationship with Vanessa Ray, of which he said, "Working with Vanessa is one of my favorite things about 'Blue Bloods.'"
It's a good thing the actors get along so well, as Estes goes on to admit he's probably shared more screen time with Ray than he has with any other actor he's ever worked with, including his extended "Blue Bloods" family. Given how much Estes and Ray enjoy working together and how prominent their story has become on "Blue Bloods," fans will surely be seeing plenty of the power couple as long as the series is on the air.
