    Former CSI: Crime Scene Investigation*leading man William Petersen*(Gil Grissom) will not appear during Marg Helgenberger‘s (Catherine Willows) final episodes. In the end, it came down to the decision of not wanting to steal the spotlight from Helgenberger’s exit arc, CSI Files has learned.

    That is a bummer. I was really hoping he would return for the goodbye.

    I can understand that He doesn't want to steal the thunder from Marg, such as stealing her spotlight, I can tell that he wants to respect that, he doesn't want the crew to focus on him instead of his co-leading star Marg, its her to shine, not him. I can't blame him for it. Hmm its gonna be difficult to watch Marg to walk away from this awesome job that she has for so long time on this show. I will miss both of them. I would love to see them making cameo appearances like special guest stars on csi that would be nice to do that.

    I understand why he would make that decision, and it does make sense. That said, I do wish we could have seen them both on the show together one last time before she leaves. Ah well, maybe they'll both come back for a cameo at some point down the line.

    What a classy guy Billy is. I'm sure he and Marg have and will talk soon about her departure from CSI etc.
    I'd love to see them work on something else together. Billy's got two little ones to take care of though.

    It would be nice if Catherine got a phone call from Gil. We'd hear Petersen's voice, just not see him. Doesn't seem right that he would not be involved somehow. I'll miss her...sob. :(
