Personality[]

Joe's training officer, Anthony Renzulli, called him a 'real sweetheart,' implying Joe was more like his younger brother Jamie than his older brother Danny. Joe often acted as the bridge between his brothers, although he often complained to Jamie about how Danny rode him at work.[3]

Frank later mentioned that Joe sought to make his own career without using his connections to his family legacy. To that end, Joe initially chose to use his middle name when you’re rolling before deciding against it.

Relationships[]

Although never married, he dated Angela Ferraro. After Joe's death, she moved out of NYC. She later moved back to NYC and married a NYPD Detective from the Narcotics Division. Out of respect for Joe, she invited the Reagan family to the wedding, though she later rescinded the invite.

Joe briefly dated his former classmate Paula Hill, while they were in the Police Academy. Paula eventually became pregnant with Joe's child, however, she never told Joe about it. According to Paula, she wasn't interested in a relationship at the time and if she tells Joe about the pregnancy, Joe would insist on them getting married and raising their son together. She named their son Joseph Hill, after Joe.

Mentions[]

Joe is mentioned often, specifically when there is a death of an officer in the line of duty, or if there is grave danger to one of the family members. Joe is occasionally brought up in arguments, either as an example or illustration of some point.

The latest mention of Joe during the series was one of Frank's stories which placed Joe as the oldest of his children.[4] However, Garrett Moore has stated Frank's stories are "relevant," but not always true.[5]

Errors[]

  • Joe's age has been the subject of retroactive continuity for some time. His headstone clearly indicates that he was born in 1977, which would place him as the third Reagan child, yet he has been called the oldest child on at least a few separate occasions. Since Erin celebrated her 40th birthday in November of 2015,[6] Joe would be approximately 19 months younger than her, and Erin is acknowledged to be younger than Danny by approximately two years.[7][8]
  • Another continuity error is the change in Joe's birthdate on his gravestone from June 6, 1977,[9] to January 4, 1977[10] This was apparently done by the production crew simply to accommodate the airdate of the episode in which the new date appears.
