<font color=yellow>Nina Tassler's</font> participation in the TCA Summer Press Tour came with big revelations pertaining to CSI's new season.
According to Tassler, fans will see a reunion of the night and swing shifts some time during season 6, after the two groups remained separated throughout the majority of season 5. The producers decided to split the team to add spice to the series, but the fans didn't take warmly to their decision.
Grissom was last in charge of the whole team in the episode "Mea Culpa," where a human error resulted in the famous split. Catherine now runs the swing shift, which includes Nick and Warrick, while Grissom runs the night shift, consisting of Sara, Greg, and Sofia. Grissom finally requested his team back after the gut-wrenching events of "Grave Danger."
Season six will also see a semi-new addition to the show. Actress <font color=yellow>Louise Lombard</font>, who played recurring character Sofia Curtis last season, will join the cast, Tassler announced.
Sofia Curtis was introduced in the season five episode "Formalities," where she was revealed to be Conrad Ecklie's right hand woman. The CSI was later demoted and placed in Grissom's team due to the events of "Mea Culpa." Displeased by her demotion, Sofia tendered her resignation in the episode "Unbearable," but a late-night dinner with Grissom made her change her mind.
The show's studios will also see a change in location. As was previously reported (news), the set of the popular series has been moved from the Santa Clarita Studios to Universal Studios in Hollywood this summer. This has caused a slight delay in the production of the new season. While Miami and New York have already begun shooting, the actors of CSI are not expected to return until August 1st. However, this does not mean the new season will start later than usual.
Poster <font color=yellow>SinceIMetYou</font>, from YTDAW, recently took the Universal Studios tour, where the reasoning for the delay was easily appreciated. "The place was a MESS... it looked like they just started building the sets and all. I took video, and after looking closely at it, you can see that hardly anything is set up yet... there were a bunch of wooden framed areas and it looked like they were doing construction."
Various actors of the CSI franchise also attended the CBS press party, where they took the opportunity to discuss their respective shows and in some cases their personal lives. Actor <font color=yellow>George Eads</font> talked briefly about his girlfriend <font color=yellow>Monika Casey</font>, who he's been living with for four months now. But the actor revealed he won't be walking down the aisle any time soon due to personal experiences. "Both of our parents divorced when we were 20," he said.
