Awwww. I been watching some CSI stuff tonight (old and new), and decided to go on a GSR website :p So watched lots of GSR clips, then watched a clip of Sara's final eppy :( It's sad I reckon (for us GSR fans anyway :lol:). Poor Gwissy. If Will does leave as has been rumoured, then maybe he'll decide taht he can be without Sara no more :D.
Question: What's the latest on William Petersen's expiring CSI contract?— Jason
Ausiello: My CSI spy tells me that showrunner Carol Mendelsohn's recent decision to re-sign for four more years should go a long way in getting Petersen to stick around. "She's been with the show from the start," says my mole, "and that continuity and stability is important to him."
Black day for all Grissom and Sara fans. Next Tuesday is Jorja Fox last episode as Sara Sidle. (Stop cheering Jojo):lol:
You can hear me from there then Kath!! Sorry - didn't think I was cheering "that" loudly - yeh right haha :rotfl:Quote:

Oh you cruel woman you. Tut, Tut. :lol: Apart for Sara departure did you see Tuesday's episode got to be on of the best yet. Especially with Jack Malone from Without a Trace in it. I was so glad that Five US showed the concluding part after CSI as I was wondering if I would have to wait a year to see it as WAT is a series ahead in the US. That's 3 episodes of Jack Malone I've had this week :wub: ~(Secret request to CBS. Can we have Don Flack in CSI or WAT)

My secret request to CBS - could Don Flack pay me a home visit please? :D :wub:
It was pretty good, but I've also seen better if you see what I mean.Quote:

Ausiello: Well, Gary Sinise isn't the only CSI star with a new lady friend in his future. I hear that CSI: Original Flavor is looking for a female DA who will help Grissom get over a serious illness so he can help her make an important indictment stick. And no, that's not a double entendre. At least I don't think it is.
William Petersen has agreed to return for a ninth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
The star pulled out during the last run to take an on-stage role and he wants to return to the play this year.
However, The Hollywood Reporter said that after "lengthy negotiations" he would appear in a reduced number of episodes.
Petersen has been a fixture since the show began and is also an executive producer.
P.S. There will only be 17 episodes of season 8 instead of the usual 24, This is due to the strike, don't know about Miami or New York yet. Vegas returns to the US screens on Thursday 3 April so hopefully we won't have to wait too long before it's back on our screens.
Gary Dourdan (Warrick) Leaving CSI
With all the attention focused on William Petersen's successful contract negotiations, this ginormous scoopbit nearly slipped right by: Sources confirm to me exclusively that original CSIer Gary Dourdan — whose contract is also set to expire next month — is leaving the show. Although a precise timeframe is not known, CSI's May 15 season finale could serve as Warrick's swan song.
Regarding Dourdan's exit, a CBS spokesperson says, "We can't confirm or deny this information."
This is the second major departure to rock CSI this season. As anyone with a pulse and/or access to TVGuide.com knows, Jorja Fox made her final appearance as Sara in November. The good news: Marg Helgenberger and George Eads are expected to follow Petersen's lead and re-up with the show.
Meanwhile, CSI execs aren't wasting any time searching for Dourdan's replacement. I'm told producers have put out a casting call for a new male series regular in his late twenties to early thirties to play Ray Santoro, a "handsome, smart and athletic" CSI who transfers from Henderson to join the graveyard shift at the Las Vegas crime lab.
OK, CSI fans: Are you sad to see Dourdan/Warrick go? And in terms of the potential impact to the show, is this less than, equal to or greater than Fox's exit last fall? Too shocked to process it all? Splash some cold Snapple on your face and start discussing!
:eek: :eek: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :crying::crying:
If they won't confirm or deny, sounds like its true, and kind of makes you wonder if it will be to do with the mob or something, but nooooooo!!!!!
Don't go Warrick. Vegas needs you :eek:
I agree with you Jojo maybe the Mod story will play a major part in Warrick's exit. I hope they don't kill him off.
I'm thinking they might though - Vegas is still the only CSI not to have killed off a major character. Yes they killed Holly, but that was in the pilot and second episodes - makes it seem more likely, but I sooo hope not.Quote:

Source TV Guide AusielloQuote:
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Battlestar Galactica's ass-kicking Katee Sackhoff was thisclose to becoming Jorja Fox's pseudo-replacement next season on CSI. In fact, she was considered to be such a lock for the new series-regular role of Bryce Adams that exec producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar, both huge fans of the actress, were practically rolling a red carpet all the way to her trailer.
Several days ago, it was announced that Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) had been arrestedfor suspected drug possession in Palm Springs, California. "We have been worried about Gary for some time," a member of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's production team told the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's just a shame that he wasn't able to get the help he needs before this happened."
Dourdan's friends on the CSI set have been worried about his health and safety for a while. There was even talk of an intervention, but that never came about. "After this, I think there will be a concerted effort to convince Gary to get help -- before he kills himself," said one concerned CSI staff member. CBS has not officially announced that Dourdan will be leaving CSI, but it has been verified by reliable sources. However, the actor will not be gone forever. Prior to negotiations, the original intention was to have Warrick leave the show permanently. The word now is that the character will return to the show several times next season. Although nothing has been confirmed, the ninth season of CSI is expected by some to be the show's last.

CSI’s battle for Katee Sackhoff
By Denette Wilford
2008-05-06
‘Battlestar’ tough girl heading to Vegas?
When Jorja Fox left CSI earlier this season, I thought execs were going to quickly fill her spot with the lovely Liz Vassey, who currently plays lab geek Wendy on the show.
Well, it’s five months later and Fox's character Catherine is still the only forensic chick. Until now … or so we thought.
Sources confirmed to TV Guide that Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck and was the only good thing about the now-defunct Bionic Woman, was supposed to become the newest member of the Las Vegas forensic team.
More than a front-runner, she was considered a lock for the new series-regular role of Bryce Adams by executive producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar, who are huge fans of the actress.
But apparently being the showrunners of the network’s No. 1 show wasn’t enough of an endorsement for Sackhoff, because after seeing the actress read for the part of Adams, executives at both CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer Television didn’t think she was the best fit for the role. And their opinion won out in the end.
So the role is once again available. Who do you think would be perfect as Fox’s pseudo-replacement?
I think Wendy would be the right choice. She's awesome.
Next Tuesday is the last episode of this series. I had a peek at next weeks preview from the CBS website, wish I hadn't :crying: The story with Warrick and the Mafia boss resurfaces when the Mafia boss is murdered and Warrick is charge with his murder. There is also a quick scene of a funeral, which I'm hoping isn't Warricks but I think it may be because we all know that Gary is leaving CSI plus Vegas is the only CSI show not to have one of their team killed.
Wow really? That's a short series??
But :eek: Really. Poor Warrick. I hope it isn't Warricks funeral! :(
From what I've heardbut then you never can tell can you...Spoiler:
The L Word's Lauren Lee Smith has been tapped to join CSI as Jorja Fox's pseudo-replacement, a CBS spokesperson confirms.
Smith is expected to play the character of Bryce Adams, a "flirtatious, witty and strong-willed non-conformist" that is recruited to join the graveyard shift — also known as the role that Katee Sackhoff inexplicably got passed over for.
