What the freak!?! Gil Grissom, I mean William Petersen, is saying goodbye to the CSI crew! How am I supposed to stick around for CSI when Marg Helgenberger is like the only original cast member left? And the famously pulled and botox-ed up star isn't my favorite by a long shot. First it was Jorja Fox, and then Gary Dourdain. Yup, I'm done with this show.
Well, before the departure actually takes place, William will stick around long enough to make it seem plausible that his character is leaving his beloved crime lab. Yahoo News reports that “Petersen has agreed to return for occasional guest appearances and will remain a "CSI" executive producer but his run as an original cast member will end this coming season.”
I'm not sure how it will all play out, but the article also says that “Grissom will be reappraising his life after years of high-tech forensics investigations with the Las Vegas Police Department and after facing personal turmoil.”
I just realized that George Eads will still be around. He's mostly just eye candy, but maybe he will be enough to keep me and other viewers around.

Just knowing that the "famously pulled and botox-ed up" Marg Helgenberger is sticking around is enough to keep me as a loyal viewer, especially since after Petersen's midseason departure, I'll hopefully never have to look at the famously oily-faced, pot-bellied Jorja Fox again.
George Eads is a far better actor than "the famously oily-faced, pot-bellied Jorja Fox" will ever be. She couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag!!
I'm hoping the return of the miniature killer will result in sara's death so Grissom can be free to ride off into the sunset with a real woman like Lady Heather.
hey PN whoever you are take a hike sarah was lovely and helped to make the show if you like the miss heather type go find one yourself.the show is going to fall apart without Grissom and Sarah. so eat dirt PN.
Sara is a mean drunk who should have been killed off to save CSI. Only someone with mental problems would want to see her back. Grissom was waaaay too good for her. Fox couldnt act her way out of a paper bag. No talent, looks or personality. Who did she sleep with to get such a good job? Whos the top lezzie at CBS?
Wow rhea! How old are you honey? You sound like you are reading commentary from the sand box. Grow up. Most mature adults never bought into the GSR because they watch the show for the cases and not the unnecessary soap. The soap was created for immature minds because that was the only way they would watch it. That was the only factor that would keep children like you entertained. You just proved it with your childish comments.
Honestly, KD, I'm not the least bit surprised by Rhea's comments. She is one of MANY GSR/Sara fans who flip out whenever someone says something that is even a little bit negative about their beloved pairing and character. I swear, sometimes I think they've made it their goal to mimick Sara in every way.
If that's the case, they're doing a great job. They're just as nasty-tempered and immature as their idol.
And here I thought this article was about Mr. Petersen leaving the show, not the no talent Jorga Fox. Why must everything be about Sara even when it's clearly not about her? I'm tired of the GSR's and I'm happy Billy is moving on, I hope he's going to be happy in whatever he does in the near future.
One person doesn't "make" the show....the team as a WHOLE made the show. Each one brought their own personality to it. Sara-miss don't take none (which i loved), Warrick-Mr. Bada*s, Gill -all brains and mystery, Kathryn-drama queen, Greg-mr next generation, and last but not least...Mr. Eyecandy. CSI was already different with out Sara ; then Warrick got shot......now GILL!! *NOOO* CSI will NOT be the same. They ALL made the show worth watching.
