One of the most popular CBS dramas, Blue Bloods, ended last year in December, and despite enjoying fourteen seasons, fans would always love to see more about the iconic Reagan family. Created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, the police procedural drama offers both crime-solving and family drama.

Blue Bloods wasn't just a show but a Friday night tradition for millions of viewers. Despite the love and support from fans, the network had to cancel it, as the show had been running since 2010.

While the Reagans and their personal and professional lives are central to the show, it also introduces viewers to other characters like Det. Maria Baez, played by Marisa Ramirez. She is among the detectives working at the NYPD’s Major Case Squad at the 54th Precinct who remained in Blue Bloods until the very last.

Being an important character, Marisa Ramirez played Det. Baez from Season 3 to the show's final chapter. While she's incredibly skilled, Baez gradually developed a strong partnership with Det. Danny Reagan and the two often joined forces to fight crime.

If you're rewatching Blue Bloods and the iconic Reagan family dinners, it's the perfect time to take a closer look at Marisa Ramirez’s portrayal of Detective Maria Baez. The actress joined the cast in Season and since then has been a key figure alongside Danny Reagan.

Baez has been serious about her career from the start and her early achievements like her promotion to Detective 3rd Grade at a young age prove her determination. As for Maria Baez's personal life, she has been involved with a few characters in her life, but she eventually gets separated.

Her life took a major turn when Maria adopted a baby girl after her mother was killed, and managed to balance her life as a detective and mother in Blue Bloods. The show also explored a few pivotal moments in her life, one of them being the revelation of a drug trafficker from her past.

The traumatic moment has been stuck with Maria Baez for life, as she was just 10 when she saw her neighbor being murdered. When Baez finally opened up about her past to Danny, the two once again joined forces to take down the criminal and arrest him.

However, since the news of a Blue Bloods spin-off Boston Blue (working title) has come out, fans are curious to know if Marisa Ramirez will also appear. Since it's the early stage, there's no confirmation about the cast members.
