CBS brought back CSI for a sequel, and original cast members William Petersen and Jorja Fox returned to the show for the first season. However, both announced they are not coming back for the second one.
Therefore, the low-rated series, which also lost Mel Rodriguez, needed to get someone from the mothership to join the show or its ratings would plummet. So they called Marg Helgenberger, who should be done filming All Rise by the start of CSI: Vegas’ season if she would like her role back. And she said yes.
According to Deadline, the actress only agreed to do the series for one year. So, if the drama gets picked up for a third season, they might have to look at Gary Dourdan or George Eads to reprise their roles. That should be interesting…
