Marisa Ramirez Cast as New Partner on Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods has found a new partner for Danny Reagan.
Marisa Ramirez (Against the Wall, Body of Proof) has been cast on five episodes of the CBS drama as Detective Maria Baez. She will debut this Friday and has the potential to come on board as a series regular in the fall.
Ramirez will represent the third temporary partner for Danny, following a four-episode arc by Megan Ketch and a three-episode shiny by Megan Boone.
The series was forced to make these changes after an ugly dispute with Jennifer Esposito led to that star's departure from the drama.

Esposito was hands down better than all temp partners that followed her departure. I'm not sold on Ramitez. What's with the constant lip gloss?

I was a BIG fan of hers when she was on GH! I am really excited to see her back on primetime.

i believe, she was also on GH at one time......what i want to know, is WHY they haven't tried danny with a "male" partner?......these female 1's just DON'T seem to be working.
