Oh no, not Grissom too! email this discussion to a friend?

cry William Peterson (Gil Grissom) on CSI Las Vegas will be leaving the show this season, it was just announced. He will leave after the 10th episode, which will probably take them to the Christmas break.

How will they ever replace Grisson? Peterson will make some guest appearances and will still be an executive producer of the show, but his character will be leaving to "find himself" after a great deal of emotional turmoil.

Darn it, he is the main reason I never miss an episode. I guess people have to move on on real life, but we so want to stay mired in familiar territory as viewers. I will surely miss him.

Char

cry It was reported on AP as well as several other news sources. You can find it on the internet easily by searching CSI, William Peterson.
They announced it on Inside Edition last night when it first got my attention. He is my favorite character and I will really miss him.

I saw that yesterday too! They said a "high profile" actor is going to replace him. I really wonder who it is!!
My hubby and I are wondering how they are going to play his leaving out. Is he going to go pursue his teachings, or his he leaving to go be with Sara? Did she give him an ultimatum that for him to be with her, he has to leave LasVegas? I really look forward to it, but don't look forward to him leaving!!


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

As far as I know they have not yet cast his replacement, but did say it would be a high-profile actor as you said.

I wish they would leave good things alone, but I guess we expect people to stay put until they get so old that makeup won't hide the wrinkles any more. lol

That is not good news. He's one of the reasons I watch the show.I like the character he plays. Hopefully he changes his mind and comes back maybe? Life goes on.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

We can always wish. But I don't think so since they talked him into staying last year when he wanted to go. He got some time off to work in a stage play, but then was back mid-season. This time I think it is a done deal. I really like him.

Drat! Well, I guess we all knew it was coming after his "vacation" last year, I think I was just in denial. That will be 3 of the original cast gone once he leaves. I have a feeling the series probably won't last more than another season after this loss. But, ten seasons is a really good, long run for a TV show, so I guess we will have to move on.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

Yes, you might be right. If they don't replace him with someone really really special (hard to imagine who) then it might be the swan song of the series. But at least he remains one of the executive producers so maybe he will have a strong intuition as to what to do about the storylines and actors.
I wish he weren't leaving, but it was inevitible at some point. People have to move on with their lives I guess.

Well Sara left, so I guess Grissom will go to. I hope it is to go to San Francisco to be with her. They will have to write a reason for him to leave, and I hope it is something that we can smile about with tears in our eyes and as I am an incurable romantic I hope it is so that he and Sara will live happily ever after. I wonder about the replacement though. I hope they do not play the race card as happened on a couple of CBC shows, that is NCIS.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

Hi, no I don't think it has anything to do with race. His character is supposed to be going through a soul-searching sort of period and needs to find something else to fulfil his life. I don't think he is going to be with Sara, but I could be wrong (hopefully.)

I don't think they will be able to replace William Petersons character. I think unfortunately the show will be winding down. That is what happens when you take the heart out of an original show.I hope we will see him in movies again.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

He has been in movies for many years and I'm sure he will continue to be in more. I'v always liked him in movies.
I sincerely hope you are wrong about the series, but it will be hard to replace him for sure. At least he remains one of the executive producers of this show so maybe he will have some input in the future.

That totally sucks that Grissom is leaving the show,because he was the glue that held the whole thing together,because he always managed to motivate his team no matter what happens,and I bet the show is going to lose a whole lot of viewers,since first Sarah left,and the Warrick died,and now Grissom is leaving,so that just leaves Nick and Catherine from the original team,and I wonder how long before they will either leave the show,or have their characters killed off,I will really miss Grissom,because he was one of the main reasons I watched the show,and I do not know if I can continue watching knowing that Grissom will not be on it next season.


kraschka (6)  6 months ago

I too am sad to hear Grissom is leaving the show. First Sarah and then Warrick. Who's left is what I am thinking. It won't even be the same show anymore. I could see losing one key player but three. CSI has always been one of my favorite shows and now it is just a shell of its former self.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

I agree, Nick and Catherine are good and I like both of them but neither of them can carry the show the way Grissom did. At least we have him for the first 10 episodes of next season. Maybe they will introduce his replacement during that time so we can get to know him (her?)


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (3990)   ranked 65 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

Yeah Nick and Catherine are awesome but they could not carry on the team and the show like Grissom does,and yeah hopefully we will be introduced to Grissoms replacement before he leaves,so we can get used to him or her,I just hope they are at least half the person Grissom is,even though mo one will ever take the place of Grissom,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

Good day... I remember the first time I watch CSI., and saw his character as grissom and caught my interest immediately. His a perfect fit to the show, the core of it all. He doesn't need to be on the show all the time but when you know that he'll talk or investigate later even for just a moment the show becomes lively and the plot even livelier. I guess Life does go on for all of us and also for Mr. Peterson. We'll have just to hope that the character replacement would fill his shoes and the show.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

I can't imagine who will be able to fill those shoes. You are right, he is the perfect fit for that character. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. At least they are not killing him off.

9. myLot reputation of 77/100. mscott (1308)   6 months ago

I saw this as well. I think the show will have a hard time without him. Personally I have become more of a Miami fan myself. Never really got into the New York one, always just seemed to dark and maybe it was just the day it was on that I never really had time for it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

I am just the opposite. I don't like the Miami show, probably because I can't stand Horatio, but the New York one is not bad. But I could live without all of them if they wouldn't mess with the Las Vegas team.

Oh boy I wonder why he is leaving it. His name is so popular in that show. I also watch it and am impressed by the role he is playing in there. I do hop they can find a suitable replacement for his role. I think they have made the role vital already that removing that character would make the show rather incomplete.


myLot reputation of 98/100. nova1945 (904)   ranked 12 out of 716 in csi  6 months ago

Yes, it will be really hard to replace his character. He will remain one of the executive producers so maybe he will have some say it how/what is done.

He wanted to leave last year, but they talked him into staying for another season, although he took some time off to do a stage play somewhere else then returned to the show. I think maybe he is just wanting to expand his options instead of burning out in the same role for several more years. Our loss.
