I am talking about Gilbert Arthur “Gil” Grissom, the supervisor of Las Vegas CSI unit and a forensic entomologist. Hey can you believe he is leaving the CSI, now I don’t know its rumor or truth. A few days back I read on some TV news site that he has renewed his contract with the CSI on July 15th, but after a couple of days I read that he is really leaving the CSI. I got this information on zap2it.com that the CBS entertainment President Nina Tassler shared with its reporters that somebody will replace him but not in the same role. He will appear until the tenth episode of ninth season. She also told that his character will not get any kind of tragic end.

Oh we will miss Gil on the show. I like these intellectual kinds of characters on Crime Investigation series. He is the brilliant man on the show and I like his proficiency in sign languages. In an episode it was shown that he has a trouble with his hearing ability, but later on he got it treated. I wonder he got engaged with Sara once but suddenly Sara disappeared after having a difficulty in some case and left a note for him. Now nobody knows whether she will come back in the ninth season or not. But anyways what’s the use of her coming back now when Gil will also be replaced. Does anybody know who will replace William Peterson? Well there are several speculative names but no name is final yet. But yes I’ve heard the rumors that the new character is not going to play Gil at least. He will play completely a new character and I hope he will bring a sort of freshness to the show.

Besides this I’ve also read on Zap2it that Megalyn Echikunwoke is going to play the new Coroner, replacing Khandi Alexander on CSI Miami. Khandi is playing Alexx Woods, the medical examiner over there. We’ve seen Megalyn in 4400 and Supernatural.

Whatever changes the show brings, I just love the CSI in every form. This is the unique show of its kind on TV.
