Blue Bloodsis currently in the middle of season 11. Over the years, the show has managed to tell numerous types of stories centered on different characters, and during season 8, audiences were introduced to the newest recurring officer — Rachel Witten, as played by Lauren Patten.
She had an emotional introduction that involved stopping a man who was jaywalking and inadvertently violating protocol when she asked about his immigration status.
It results in many headaches for the police department, and Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) ends up terminating her employment. After she learns the error of her ways, Frank rehires her to a different precinct, teaming up with Eddie Janko-Reagan (Vanessa Ray).
Since then, the character has appeared sporadically here and there, always ready to enforce the law when the situation calls for it. She tilts between strong and vulnerable with ease, which requires one heck of an actor to portray.
Luckily, those behind Blue Bloods cast Lauren Patten in the role, and this isn't her first time coming onboard a well-known television series.
