Megalyn Echikunwoke is joining CSI: Miami as a recurring character. On CBS’ veteran forensic drama, she will play a medical examiner who makes a good first impression with Lt. Horatio Caine and his team of CSIs. Echikunwoke is expected to at least partially fill the void left by the departure of Khandi Alexander, who played Miami-Dade medical examiner Dr. Alexx Woods since the launch of the show in 2002. Alexander still may return for guest appearances.
Michael Ausiello is reporting that William Petersen is leaving CSI by midseason. This season’s 10th episode will be his last as a full-time series regular. “Billy is leaving,” confirms executive producer, Carol Mendelsohn. “But he will remain throughout the run of the series an executive producer. And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don’t think you’ve seen the last of Gil Grissom.”
Petersen seems almost reluctant to characterize his departure as a departure. Citing both his ongoing role as an executive producer and his intention to return on occasion as a guest star, he said, “I’m in a great place in terms of knowing that I’ll be more free to make choices. And I’m responsible enough to not do it in a way that would hurt [the show]. “I want it to work for the writers, I want it to work for the cast, and, most importantly, I want it to work for the audience,” he added. “I don’t want them to abandon the show.”

Michael Ausiello is reporting that Jorja Fox has inked a deal to return for the show’s ninth-season premiere next fall. There are no details on what Fox will be doing during her comeback, but Ausiello’s source says she “won’t be appearing in a flashback.” The most likely scenarios are for Sara to return to Las Vegas to mourn Warrick who was shot and in this season’s finale. That’s assuming Warrick is actually dead, the episode ended without confirmation of his death. And in the current issue of TV Guide, CSI showrunner Carol Mendelsohn says Gary Dourdan will be back in the fall — and “not just in flashbacks.” Dourdan could also only be back to portray Warrick’s “final scene”. The other scenario would be to have Sara come back and address her romance with Grissom.
CSI star William Petersen has signed a deal to return for the crime drama’s ninth season. Under a one-year deal with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation producer CBS Paramount Network TV, Petersen will appear in a reduced number of episodes for a salary said to be in the neighborhood of $600,000 an episode. Petersen, who was reportedly earning about $500,000 per episode, making him one of the highest-paid primetime actors, also serves as an executive producer on the show.
Petersen had requested a reduced workload to accommodate his work in the play Dublin Carol. He took a break to appear in the production of the Christmas-themed play in Providence, R.I., last season when Liev Schreiber subbed for him on CSI. This time, Petersen will be putting Carol up in his hometown of Chicago. It will run at the Upstairs Theatre from November 13-December 21.
