After two horses' deaths during the making of the first season, a third died early in production on the next planned set of episodes ... and while animal rights groups certainly voiced concerns, it reportedly was HBO's own decision to terminate the series, in conjunction with executive producers David Milch and Michael Mann. Real-life (and now retired) jockey Gary Stevens also was in the cast of "Luck," and there are no plans to show whatever footage had been filmed for the Season 2 that now will This must sayA:ingsituation, beisprefaced by view that there Esposito's of the and there is CBS' view of it ... and since we weren't there, we can't say that either view is the "absolute" one. In mid-October, the network released a statement that said the actress could only work on "a very limited part-time schedule," thus her police detective character, Jackie, was put on a leave of absence on the show. And CBS added, "We hope that she will be able to return at some point in the future."

She has celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that can cause fatigue — she has started a foundation to explain the condition to the general public — and she claims CBS placed her on unpaid leave and is preventing her from working on any other series that airs at the same time, calling it "absolutely shameful behavior." Whether Esposito ultimately will return to "Blue Bloods" is very much up in the air at this writing. Other actresses have been enlisted for now to play "temporary partners" for Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) in Jackie's, and Esposito's, absence, however long that may be. 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 It will, though we can't A:give—youand FX hadn't provided an exact date at this writing since it as of the moment we're answering this — Season 4 of the Timothy Olyphant-starring modern Western should begin early in 2013, if the premiere dates of previous seasons are accurate indicators.
