New article about Elisabeth Shue:

'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation': Oscar nominee Elisabeth Shue 'really enjoying' going forensic

Elisabeth Shue is getting ready for her entrance on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" as its long-time female lead makes her exit.

Founding series star Marg Helgenberger's Catherine Willows leaves the CBS show in a two-part episode that starts Wednesday (Jan. 18). Then, "Leaving Las Vegas" Oscar nominee Shue returns to Vegas -- at least figuratively, since the drama is filmed largely in Los Angeles -- when her Julie "Finn" Finlay joins the crime lab Wednesday, Feb. 15.

"I'm really enjoying it," Shue tells Zap2it of getting back into a regular work pace she hasn't had since doing ABC's drama "Call to Glory" in the mid-1980s. "I remember that what I loved about it was the feeling of almost like being in repertory theater. There's such a family feel to a group that's gone on for years and years, and I feel it immediately when I'm there [at 'CSI']. Everyone is so happy to see each other. They know each other inside and out, so it's a very comfortable environment."

Shue says that also pertains to fellow "CSI" newbie Ted Danson, whose D.B. Russell has a past with Finlay ... specifically, his having fired her when they worked together previously.

"There's something really nice about knowing you have time to discover your character and figure out the relationships," adds Shue, whose credits also include such iconic movies as the first "Karate Kid," "Adventures in Babysitting" and the two "Back to the Future" sequels.

"You always know there's a chance to keep working and keep improving, like when you do a play. This night might not be the greatest, but tomorrow night, I'll get it," she says. "It's always evolving and changing, so you don't put as much pressure on every moment."

The newest "CSI" hire could potentially help the show land a visit from a notable director: Shue's husband, Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth," "Waiting for 'Superman'"), who has worked in television on such series as "Deadwood," "The Shield" and "24."

"He just likes doing pilots," Shue explains, "because he's really focused on doing documentaries. He does a pilot a year, then he puts all of his other time into documentary work ... but I'll bet we could probably get him to do one 'CSI.' Yeah."

IS it possible the episode will not actually be them chasing a killer for a change? It seems every episode lately is about murder. I hope this is the first one to be different in a long time.

Might be, but these are early spoilers so there could be a body in there some where :shifty:
 
A few teases from TV Line:

Just before delving into this week’s Inside Line, I cued up Marg Helgenberger’s final episode, airing Jan. 25, and damn, she done got me all misty. In fact, I think it’s safe to venture that the sad looks on the CSI squad members’ faces during her goodbye are the actors’ own expressions, partly because the scene is scripted right down the middle – is Catherine leaving us, or Marg? Plotwise, the continuation of the Mark Gabriel case serves up a nice (if not 100-percent surprising) twist, Catherine’s very final scene is perhaps not with whom you expect, and if you were at all bummed to see Grant Show’s McQuaid buy the farm, know this: Willows might receive a proposal from a handsome FBI agent just yet.

Maybe they are just trying to make us think that and the proposal is really a job proposal from the younger agent lol. I hope they don't have McQuaid pop up and go, "I faked my death to save your friend. Will you marry me?" lol... that would just be silly. They haven't even dated yet, so it better not be a marriage proposal. I will be so disappointed in the writers if they go that soapy and cliched and silly.

I personally would probably end up hating the storyline if the car thing was staged because that would mean the FBI grabbed four or five cadaver bodies and lit them up (cause there were charred bodies in the car, I saw part of one at least) which would be disgusting to me (I don't care if they were jane/john does, I don't like the idea, period) when they could have just destroyed the cars beyond recognition and said there just wasn't anything left of any of the bodies or something.
 
I hope it wasn't staged. It was a good twist. And I just don't want Cath ending up with the FBI guy as suddenly the great love of her life.

I am so with you on this! :thumbsup:
 
that 2nd promo of "Willows in the wind" looks very good, and as for that opening the body bag with nick and sara looking in. I'm like what the heck was that? then I realized that could be Catherine's fake body bag.
