CSI: Crime Scene Investigation producers have begun the search for a new female character to be added to the regular cast.
"[She] may be a CSI or a lab tech," was all executive producer <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font> was willing to share with TV Guide's <font color=yellow>Michael Ausiello</font>, beyond the fact the new character will first be seen in the third episode of next season. But that didn't stop Ausiello from finding out more about her, as his casting spies revealed she'll be a junior detective in her mid-twenties, "fresh out of college and lacking the capacity for self-censorship."
Mendelsohn didn't actually confirm the introduction of a new character would mean the exit of Sara Sidle, although Ausiello speculated this would seem likely, particularly in light of recent comments by <font color=yellow>Jonathan Littman</font> that the "Sara-Grissom storyline is going to conclude" next season. Ausiello's interpretation of the news was quickly picked up by several other sites, who also reported it was likely this meant Jorja Fox will be departing the show.
If Fox does leave, fans will at least get the chance to see her one more time, as Mendelsohn did confirm to Ausiello the actress will appear in the season premiere. "We're certainly going to be seeing her under the car in the premiere," she said. But as Mendelsohn noted, whether Sara Sidle will still be alive by then still remains very much to be seen.
