Marg Helgenberger to leave CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Marg Helgenberger (who plays Catherine Willows on the show) has announced that the next season of CSI is likely to be her last.
According to executive producer Carol Mendelsohn, Ted Danson's character swoops in and causes Catherine to be moved around in the ranks.
"The Langston departure has had a long reach and there will be fallout that we will deal with in the premiere and the following episodes, and it has shaken things up at CSI and moved things around."
Marg Helgenberger says, "There is a little resentment, but Ted's character so far is endearing and has a unique way of looking at a crime scene. It's a nice fresh perspective and it kind of gets under everyone's skin a little bit, in a good way. I think ultimately Catherine is a team player and they took some liberties last season the way the crime came about or was solved and she was willing to admit it. And this is the fallout."
For fans devistated about Helgenbergers departure, it is not 100 per cent set in stone yet according to the actress. "[The odds that this is my last season] are pretty strong. Yeah, I mean, there's chance [I'd come back]. They've always left the door open for me."
