Criminal Minds #4: We Take Care Of Our Own!

^Oh I liked her as well! I wonder if they'll go with the current cast or shall they bring another female agent along.
 
Scoop: Jennifer Love Hewitt Joining Criminal Minds as Series Regular

CBS’ Criminal Minds will fill the void left by Jeanne Tripplehorn’s departure with a lotta Love.

TVLine has learned that TV vet Jennifer Love Hewitt is joining the crime drama during Season 10 in a series regular role.

She will play Kate Callahan, a seasoned undercover agent whose stellar work at the FBI has landed her a coveted position with the Behavioral Analysis Unit. The character will be introduced in the Oct. 1 season premiere.

“We’re thrilled to introduce a new special agent by adding the very talented Jennifer Love Hewitt to our amazing cast,” says Minds showrunner Erica Messer. “Many of us on the show have enjoyed working with her over the years and look forward to again. We have exciting storylines planned for her character and the entire BAU team as we head into our 10th season.”

News of Love’s casting comes seven weeks after Criminal Minds‘ May finale saw Tripplehorn’s Alex Blake signal her decision to part ways with the BAU, after a two-season stint.

Hewitt’s previous credits include Party of Five (and subsequent short-lived spin-off), Ghost Whisperer, The Client List and a couple of I Know What You Did Last Summer movies.

It makes you want to scratch your head about this casting. I never watched her on Ghost Whisperer or the Lifetime show, The Client List, so I can't comment on how good her acting abilities are. She is a pro at taking her clothes off, though. :devil:

We'll just have to wait and see.
 
I liked Ghost Whisperer, and don't necessarily have a problem with Love Hewitt herself. She carries such a stigma with her. She's Jennifer Love Hewitt, regardless of who she tries to play.

I think this is a horrible casting decision. I almost can't believe it.
 
Criminal Minds Targets Kerr Smith for Season 10 Premiere

Kerr Smith has nabbed a killer role on Criminal Minds‘ Season 10 premiere — and it’s going to cost someone else an arm and a leg.

The Dawson’s Creek alum will play Frank Cowles, a creepy everyday man who turns out to be an acromotophile, TVLine has learned exclusively. And for those of who not familiar with the term, it’s a dude who collects limbs. (You know, because stamps and coins are so overrated.)

Most recently seen on The Fosters, Smith’s extensive TV credits also include a stint on NCIS and a series regular role on Life Unexpected.

Criminal Minds‘ 10th season premieres Oct. 1 at 9/8c on CBS.

Ask Ausiello

Question: Any news on Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Criminal Minds character? —Michael

Ausiello: Turns out that the the BAU team previously made the (off screen) acquaintance of J.Love’s character — because FBI agent Kate Callahan apparently was on hand for their bar-closing karaoke night last season. Nonetheless, they’re a bit startled by the way she resurfaces in their world. “You see [Kate] doing something you don’t see our team ever doing, which is schmoozing with a bad guy, working undercover to take a pedophile down,” show boss Erica Messer shares. “We’ve never seen our team pretend to like a criminal, so right off the bat she’s different in that way.”

Any scoop on Criminal Minds? –Brandon

This just in: Dexter alum C.S. Lee will guest-star in this season’s second episode as a high school English teacher with a deadly obsession that began in adolescence, when his academically rigorous father would make him and his older brother read in their shed for hours as punishment for supposedly poor grades. Gee, can’t imagine that has manifested itself too badly in adulthood.

Any stuff coming up for Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds?- DD

The season-ending shooting will have affected both Reid and Garcia more than either of them let on in the Oct. 1 premiere. But over the course of the subsequent three episodes – including a Reid-centric Episode 4 — the show will surface their true feelings. “It was a traumatic event,” affirms showrunner Erica Messer. “It was certainly something Garcia isn’t used to.”

And...

Because of "Extant" going down in the ratings for the last 2 weeks, "Criminal Minds" reruns should be back at it's normal 9pm timeslot starting this week with "Extant" moving to 10pm.

Criminal Minds Nabs Alicia Coppola for Suspicious Season 10 Guest Role

Looks like a former Jericho resident is going to be stirring up trouble for Hotchner and the gang.

Alicia Coppola — who played IRS agent-turned-blushing bride Mimi on the CBS drama — will appear on the fourth episode of Criminal Minds‘ upcoming 10th season, TVLine has learned exclusively. Coppola will play Lisa Randall, the head of a Morgellons syndrome support group who’s “willing to go as far as she can to protect group members privacy.”

(Gee, that doesn’t sound incriminating at all.)

Since Jericho ended in 2008, Coppola has appeared on countless other shows, including NCIS: Los Angeles, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Two and a Half Men and Teen Wolf.

As TVLine also exclusively reported, Dawson’s Creek alum Kerr Smith will guest-star on Criminal Minds‘ Oct. 1 premiere as body part-collector Frank Cowles. (Yeah, gross, I know.)

How does Jennifer Love Hewitt's character's get along with the rest of the BAU on Criminal Minds? — Evan

Pretty well actually -- in fact, many of them are in awe of her credentials. Specifically, she pairs up with Rossi for her first case, which involves an acrotomophiliac (gross!). Look for her to take charge, especially during the final showdown with the unsub. Although she may regret that decision later...
