I'm predicting that this is another one of Marc Dube's misleading/overblown "zingers." After all, we heard pretty much the same song-and-dance about Calleigh & Eric's relationship in the so-called E/C "spoilers" for Season 8 from Dube and O'Brien.
Hopefully TPTB are smart enough to realize that continued uncertainty about the E/C romance would be irritating to CSIM viewers on both sides of the fence. E/C fans like me just want our favorite couple to be settled and happy for a change. :luvlove: And I'm pretty sure that the non-E/C-shippers don't want to see any more "are they or aren't they?"
for Calleigh and Eric, either. With any luck, the writers will shift the angst and drama to some of the other cast-members, and just leave Eric & Calleigh be, for a change. That way, the focus during Season 9 can get back to where it belongs: On giving us strong team dynamics and crafting quality criminal investigation storylines.
