After 12 seasons on CBS, it makes sense that “Blue Bloods” has seen a host of cast members come and go. However, now, one of the hit show’s upcoming brand new episodes promises the return of one long-missing character. Outsiders will be excited to know that former “Blue Bloods” star, Alex Kingston, is returning to the set. After missing for more than five years, she plans to return in the season 12 episode, “Firewall.”

The synopsis states, “Frank enlists the help of an old friend, Sloane Thompson (Alex Kingston), to investigate a cyber attack on the NYPD that forces Danny and Baez to release an evasive suspect.”
Further, the synopsis provides fans a bit of a review regarding Kingston’s returning character. Prior to her hiatus, Thompson previously served as Commander of the City of London Police.

As CarterMatt states, the exciting episode most likely concludes as the last brand new addition for 2021. Following then, we’ll have to wait for the spring season to catch all-new episodes of “Blue Bloods.”
