Jorja Fox Inks 'CSI' Deal

by Chris Jordan, posted Jul 16th 2010 7:38PM
No need to go into the jungle looking for Jorja Fox's Sara Sidle. She's signed up to appear on the upcoming season of the CBS crime drama 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,' according to the Ausiello Files.

However, it's not clear if Fox will be a regular or a periodic guest star on 'the series' 11th season. Fox's Sidle has kept sporadic attendance on 'CSI' over the last few years, including spending much of season 9 in the Costa Rican jungle.

Fox joins Marg Helgenberger (Catherine), George Eads (Nick), Eric Szmanda (Greg), Paul Guilfoyle (Jim) and Laurence Fishburne (Ray) as returning cast members.

Liz Vassey's Wendy Simms will not be back.

Put her in a scene where she takes a bullet on each side of the head, kind of like Warrick and maybe even one between the eyes just to make sure she doesn't come back . . . . . . .

WOW, some of you seem to think Jorja is in control of all this. CBS makes the rules. When Jorja left she needed a break, and CSI decided to keep the option open for her coming back later. She came back with the Warrick storyline, BUT, by that time CBS knew Billy was leaving and Billy, Carol M. and the writers were working on that storyline. CBS asked Jorja to finish out that storyline. The show needed some help with season 10 so CBS ask the writers to come up with the family storyline. CBS asked Jorja back for that storyline for a limited number of shows. Those shows went so well she was asked to stay for shows through the season. Now she is coming back to the show, as Carol M. says, in some capacity, whatever that means, with no one talking about the terms of her contract who knows what is going on. But this all started with CBS asking her back--not Jorja asking to come back. Sara did visit Grissom last season because she said "HI" to Conrad from Grissom. So don't blame Jorja for this----------everything starts with CBS.

Forgot to say, this is the last straw for me. I will not watch CSI anymore!

This is such BS, what will her excuse for not being with Grissom be this season? He supposedly left his job to go be with Sara, they got married, he took a job in France, and now for the second season in a row they bring her character back wihtout him. I for one feel it's an insult to true fans and our intelligence!

CSI remains one of the best older shows around.True some of the best actors have gone(I never found out why Grissom left,anyone to let me know?)Warrick was all over the new's(of course,)the entertainment media would never pass up a chance on his tail all the time,when what he needed was encouragement insted of a constant stomping.He is a really fine actor.Does anyone know what his outcome was?Wishing for him a great future continuing in acting.As for Sarah,her character was brought out by Grissom,she just sort of float's around without him to play off of.As for the other 2 main characters of the team,they are GREAT &meld in perfectly with all of them,and of course the writers are #I with quality.Allthe other,s(labbers & Doc,as well as the Lieutenant)bring it all together.Liz,and her labber guy was a good story line,sorry to see it go.NOW THE BIG ONE,MR.FISHBURN,one of the BEST actors around,has brought a new quality to the show, starting out as the greenhorn DR.with little knowledge of forensics,but the whole team supported him & worked with him,and i loved that premises,and now his skills are top class with all the team always together.WAY TO GO EVERYONE. TOP NOTCH ALL THE WAY.BY the way,maybe the writers can find a way to slip Grissom back on occasions(if salary demands don't interfer;keep the cast together & you will have a show that SHOULD last a lot longer, my teen grandkids are really getting hung up on it.I introduced it to them,they can't believe how long it has been on,they have even gotten to the point of putting off going somewhere at times to watch it.They have popcorn,icecream night's to be able to catch it,sometimes.As thyey say,WOW SICK!!!!!!!! I hope everyone connected with the show don't get carried away with the big wanthing more big $$$$$ thing,because they think they carry the show,no one person does, it takes team work to stay GREAT! You all are lucky,you have IT!plus the fact you work every day for decent pay. You don't want to be out here in the real world having to dig & scratch with us commoner's do you? KEEP IT TOGETHER &KEEPIT GOING!!!!

Love hearing Jorja is returning, but PLEAZE give her something to do other than hang around! Since Fishburne arrived, it seems all the long-term cast members have been pushed to the back to give "Langston" more screen time!
Sorry to hear Liz and Rambo have left--both added much to CSI. Loved Rambo's writing--some of the best CSI episodes, imo.
As for Petersen--get him back. His last play wasn't so great; he needs to be Grissom a few more times before he retires or the show ends.

IMO without Worrick and Grissom the show died. I have not watched "CSI" since. I do love greg...he is so funny to me and nice on the eyes. The best thing they did was letting Jorja leave. She made me sick with her attitude. CSI will never be the same without Grissom, Kathrine, Worrick, Nick, Greg, Brass, Liz and David as a team...
