Looks like Nick will be the one who gets emotionally involved.

Here's more on Taylor Swift's appearance.

Country singer Taylor Swift will have her first acting role on CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," the show announced Monday.

"She's playing a troubled teenager, the daughter of a couple who run a very seedy Vegas hotel," said executive producer Naren Shankar. "It's a case that goes through the eyes of Nick Stokes over the period of a year with tragic consequences."

Stokes is played by George Eads. The episode, the show's 198th, is being filmed.

Shankar also announced that Oscar-winner William Friedkin ("The French Connection") will direct the show's 200th episode. "It's going to be set in the exotic world of Mexican wrestling," Shankar said.

Yep Speedy, Guess I'm going to have to kiss you for this one....Yeeee Haaaa!!! Finally a Nick Stokes episode,through the eyes of Nick Stokes...loving it!!!!

That should be interesting...through Nick's eyes over a period of a year. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

I like Taylor Swift, can't wait to see if she can act.

Most of all, I can't wait for this Thursday to see how Grissom's last episode is going to play out. I can't believe he's leaving. I'll miss him but I'm curious to see how Lawrence Fishburne will mix in with the cast.

This probably isn't the best indicator, but she acted on SNL last week, though in only one sketch, and she only had one relatively large line. I'd say she was somewhere between decent and mediocre, but she definitely had a dramatic stage presence went she actually sung on the show. She seemed pretty good at conveying emotion.
 
If we get to see an episode from Nick's perspective over a year, maybe it will deal with some of his feelings about Warrick in a way they couldn't do because of Grissom leaving...

This sounds interesting. I don't know about CSIs in general but I'm sure that cops have those places they get called to time and time again, knowing that eventually it's going to end badly. Especially places where there's domestic disputes. I can see them getting to know the people involved and then having to see them dead or something.

If this hotel is as seedy as that, I bet CSI gets called there all the time. And that means that Nick would get to know the owners in that same way. I look forward to seeing how this plays out.
 
From TVGuide
Why is Lauren Lee Smith getting so little face time in the latest CSI episodes? — Norman
TIM: She'll get more, and soon. The lovely Canadian told us on the set this week that we'll soon see why her character, Riley Adams, "seems to have a chip on her shoulder." Apparently someone close to Riley was a victim of a crime, and she hasn't quite worked through her feelings — except by pouring them into her work.
 
Regarding the Taylor Swift episode, from the pics posted in the pic thread, it looks like maybe the "tragic circumstances" are that her mother stabs her with scissors?
 
That's a good one! Never thought of that!

Looks like that's it! From that pic page at Socialitelife...

"Country-singing superstar Taylor Swift covered up her trademark blond ringlets with a blunt brown wig for her guest-starring role on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Swift plays Haley Jones, a teenager whose family runs a roach-motel in Vegas.

You would never know from these innocent photos taken of her on-set that Haley comes to a grisly end when she is stabbed to death with a pair of scissors by her onscreen mother. Mommy specifically said, "No wire hangers," Tay-Tay.

Taylor's scenes included interaction with George Eads' character on the show. George was more than obligign to a few young female fans who asked the actor for his autograph. They probably just asked him to write down his thoughts on what it was like working with Taylor."

Poor George!:lol:
 
^^That's too bad! Poor George is right myfuturecsi! But he seems like the type of guy that can laugh at himself.
 
I normally don't like quoting the whole article but with Tvguide it tends to move things around (been my experience with them) so I figured better to do this one this way.

TvGuide: CSI Says Goodbye Grissom, But Hello Taylor Swift and Much More
How is CSI recovering from the loss of William Petersen's Gil Grissom? By giving country star Taylor Swift her acting debut, freeing new star Laurence Fishburne to find out more about his role, and promising Petersen's return as a guest.

Grissom's last episode — for a while at least — airs Thursday at 9 pm/ET on CBS. Then the ensemble drama will turn to Fishburne's brand-new CSI, Dr. Raymond Langston, as he learns to investigate — and Fishburne learns who his character is.

"We don't know what the character is going to be," Fishburne told TVGuide.com. "The wonderful thing about this whole television thing is that we're all discovering it, we're trying to create it from episode to episode to episode."

One thing Fishburne's character won't be is a man with a genetic makeup previously considered common among serial killers. Initially, there had been talk that Dr. Langston would have such a syndrome, but the idea was later abandoned because the science that inspired it was outdated, executive producer Naren Shankar told TVGuide.com.

"Very early research on the character had indicated that there was a syndrome that was sort of more prevalent in serial killers," Shankar said. "That turned out not to be the case."

In addtion to Fishburne's new character, Swift will appear later this season as a troubled teenager whose parents own a motel. The episode will start in the present, then revisit the last year, season by season, Shankar said. The singer can expect plenty of dramatic moments, he promised.

During a set visit, show insiders also revealed that The Exorcist helmer William Friedkin will direct the show's 200th episode — and the first in a long time to be shot in Las Vegas.

Petersen, who is still a producer on the show and is affectionately called "Billy" by his colleagues, will likely be on-set for the filming of the episode, but not in front of the camera, Shankar said.

Executive director Carol Mendelsohn promised Petersen would appear, however, in a future episode.

"Grissom will come back in an organic way, to visit or be on a case with the people that are his family," she said.

Joked Fishburne: "Billy said he would be back to make sure I didn't burn the joint down."

Asked at a news conference if he believed his casting would lead to more African-American actors landing lead roles in television dramas, Fishburne was reflective.

"That's funny because it's the question I asked Les Moonves when I agreed to take the job," he said, adding that the CBS president responded by naming The Unit star Dennis Haysbert.

Fishburne then linked Haysbert to his role on 24, in which he played the first African-American president, years before Barack Obama was a national figure.

"The good news is that I was asked to join this company because of my intelligence and because of my gifts as an actor," he continued. "And for that I am extremely grateful. The fact that I happen to be a man of color... well, I like to think of it as a bonus. In much the way that I think of the man who will become our president in a few weeks time.

"He is intelligent, capable, engaging and interested in bringing people together. And he happens to be an African-American."
Also being that this is so long if you only plan to respond to it via quoting please only quote the part you are responding to it makes it easier.

And Lastly for anyone interest in more about Taylor Swift you can click that link and visit her official website.
 
^ Looks good indeed. :) "Congratulations Ray. Your first arson has become your first homoside." :lol:

No new reason needed, though. For me it's always been the excitment of solving the puzzle, and of course, Catherine. :D But yeah. I'm definitely looking forward to the new chapter of CSI.
 
I like the little scene where Ray gets his tie on evidence and Nick leaves it to him to figure out what to do, when he does Nick is such a gentlemen and says, "Yes sir."

What a doll. He still acknowledges Dr. Langston in way that's respectful, even though he's got seniority over him.

Aww poor Catherine watching them take Grissom's things away. She looks so sad. She needs a hug! Maybe Nick will give her one:devil:
