Will Estes, who portrayed Jamie Reagan, shared similar sentiments, noting the unique experience of being part of a show with such a devoted fan base. “It’s rare to find a show that connects with people in such a meaningful way,” Estes said. “I’m grateful for the time I’ve spent on this show and for all the fans who have supported us throughout the years.”
