I think that the thought of replacing the integral characters Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle this late in the game is impossible. I’ve been a die-hard fan of CSI since it started running and I’ve purchased all seasons of CSI on DVD, as well as the computer games, but things just won’t be the same if you replace or simply cut out their characters. Watching the banter between Nick and Warrick and listening to Sara’s witty remarks are some of the best part of viewing the show. A family has been built at the lab and that is a huge part of why the show is as wonderful as it is. Breaking apart that family would break up the chemistry and, in my opinion, greatly degrade the show’s quality. I can’t imagine watching the show without Nick and Sara there, and I don’t intend to. Working out contract dealings seems like a much better option than ruining a great show and losing innumerable viewers.

I have been an avid CSI fan since the first season, and one of the things I appreciated most was, besides its never-ending pot of intriguing storylines, the way that each character contributed something to the show that made it special. Each person had a past, a life outside their job, that was at least touched upon and that was a brilliant way to make them seem more real. When I saw the cast of CSI on the cover of the October 1st issue of Entertainment Weekly at the grocery store, I immediately grabbed it simply because of CSI. What bothered me was reading the following passage: “…offer a fresh perspective on forensics through techie-turned CSI Greg Sanders while nodding to some ongoing themes: Gil’s tendency to be a hard-ass with his team, Warrick’s past problem with gambling, Sara’s battle with booze, and Catherine’s former life as a stripper.” Well, I think that’s truly wonderful but it’s missing someone that is without a doubt an integral part of the cast. Seeing that only ...
