Interview with Maggie Lawson of “Boston Blue” on CBS by Suzanne 4/10/26

Maggie is very nice, and it was fun to speak with her. She plays a very strong character on the show, Sarah Silver. Sarah is the superintendent of detectives of the Boston police. She’s also part of a large blended family.

I’ve been interviewing actors and others for 18 years, yet I’m still able to make a dumb mistake, as I did in this on! Luckily, Maggie is such a pro that she was able to turn my embarrassment into a kind joke. I also apologize for having the interview on speaker view. I wasn’t the one who recorded the video, and I forgot to ask the PR if they could record it in gallery view (where you see both of us at once). I’ve asked them for the other just now, so if I get the gallery version, I will post that one instead.

This show keeps getting better and better each week, in my opinion!. It’s already been renewed for season 2! Check it out on CBS or Paramount+. This episode coming up is exciting!
