    <I>CSI: Miami</I> has chosen a new coroner to join the show on a recurring basis during season eight.<p><font color=yellow>Christian Clemenson</font> has been cast as a medical examiner who will appear in at least two episodes during <I>Miami</I>'s upcoming season. The show's previous ME, Dr Tara Price (<font color=yellow>Megalyn Echikunwoke</font>), was last seen in <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season7/dissolved.shtml">"Dissolved"</a> when she was arrested for stealing drugs from a murder victim. Clemenson previously appeared in the <I>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</I> episode <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/csi/season5/committed.shtml">"Committed"</a> during the show's fifth season.<p>Over on <I>CSI: New York</I>, some fans are wondering if Mac Taylor (<font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font>) will see his step-son Reed Garrett (<font color=yellow>Kyle Gallner</font>) during the upcoming sixth season or if Don Flack (<font color=yellow>Eddie Cahill</font>) will meet up with his sister Samantha (<font color=yellow>Kathleen Munroe</font>). Unfortunately, neither character is scheduled to return at this point in time, but executive producer <font color=yellow>Pam Veasey</font> hasn't ruled out the possibility. "These two characters are always on our minds," Veasey told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.tvguide.com/">TV Guide</a>. "And if they do return this season, it will be quite riveting."<p>As CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/050809_03.shtml">reported</a>, Nick Stokes (<font color=yellow>George Eads</font>) will get a promotion at the start of <I>CSI</I>'s tenth season. The character will become second-in-command to new team leader Catherine Willows (<font color=yellow>Marg Helgenberger</font>). He will work with Catherine the same way she used to work with the former boss, Gil Grissom (<font color=yellow>William Petersen</font>). "It is a promotion for him to a supervisory position," a representative from CBS told <I>TV Guide</I>.<p>The information about Clemenson is from the <A class="link" HREF="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ib8e913d233af22e0a96c5d5c31946c5b">Hollywood Reporter</a>. The details about Nick's promotion are from <A class="link" HREF="http://www.tvguide.com/News/MegaBuzz-Heroes-Office-1009068.aspx">TV Guide</a>, as is the <A class="link" HREF="http://www.tvguide.com/News/MegaBuzz-House-24-1009174.aspx">quote</a> about Sam and Reed on <I>New York</I>.<center></center>

    I'm curious to see if Clemenson will stick around for more than two episodes. He's certainly a better age for the ME role than Megalyn was, I'll give him that.

    I'm bummed that they aren't planning to bring back Reed or Sam any time soon - they don't strictly need a Big Reason to bring them back, but I guess money-wise they'd have to be featured prominently for TPTB to bring them back.

    They can still mention them, though! TPTB should never underestimate the effectiveness of one or two lines that imply something happening off stage (so to speak). Flack saying his sister is getting help or Mac telling the others that he can't go out for beers because he's attending Reed's birthday party or something - I'd be all over that! :lol:

    I know the info about Nick is pretty old, but I thought I'd include it anyway. :)

    I'm actually starting to feel encouraged about Miami. Even if some of the news has been sad, IE. Adam leaving. It sounds like TPTB are stepping back and getting rid of at least some of the crack they've been smoking the last few seasons.

    I'm looking forward to seeing a man in the role, if we can't have Alexx back that is. I think TPTB's problem was that they tried to "copy" Alexx with Tara rather than just going a different route all together. That's why she feel flat, that and they made her just a touch to bi**hy for my taste.

    Now if only they would give us some news about Ryan. *pout*
