‘CSI: NY’ Makes Transition With Little Hoopla and A ‘Genius’ Twist
by Matt Webb Mitovich
CBS’ ‘CSI: NY‘ – which this fall moves to Fridays at 9/8c – has a lot to accomplish in its Season 7 premiere airing September 24.
For one, there’s the none-to-small matter of how the Messers extricate themselves from the closing scene of the finale, in which Danny found cray-cray killer Shane Casey in their apartment, in the middle of the night, cradling baby Lucy.
The new season’s first hour must also account for Stella’s absence (Melina Kanakaredes opted not to return to the show this fall) and introduce a new CSI, Jo Danville, to be played by Sela Ward (’Once & Again’).
Sela Ward Joins ‘CSI: NY’ In Season Premiere
While we won’t get into specifics as to how the Messers’ crisis plays out, Carmine Giovinazzo (who plays Danny) says the resolution comes “swiftly.”
Life for the New York CSIs then leaps forward five months. Stella is gone, having accepted a job in New Orleans. And it is not long at all into the premiere that Ward’s character, a former FBI agent relocated from D.C., reports for her first day.
There won’t be any donuts-and-coffee “welcome party” awaiting Jo, however.
“Just as she shows up, instantaneously there’s a crime,” Hill Harper (aka Hawkes) tells Fancast. “There’s no opportunity for a real ‘How do you do?’”
The nature of that first Season 8 crime scene is such that it’d be criminal to reveal it here. Let’s just say that we agree with Harper when he calls it “a genius choice.”

On the personal front, the ‘CSI: NY’ cast has only started the process of moving on minus Kanakaredes, though having a TV vet like Ward added to the mix has soothed any sting.
“Clearly, we’ve been used to one kind of thing for six years, so it will take more than a couple of days to get used to a new character and … have the character find her way,” says series lead Gary Sinise (Mac). “We’ll all miss Melina, but Melina made a choice to move on, and we were lucky enough to have Sela come in.”
Ward is “a wonderful actress with a great personality,” says Sinise.
Bringing in a new forensics sleuth also promises to inject ‘CSI: NY’ with “a jolt of energy,” Harper believes. “Seven years in, it gets comfortable, easy to write scenes because you know the characters so well. So this will challenge the writers a bit. I’m excited about it.”

Don't you think DL and DLL were showed more than they should have been??
I TRULY hope they will give more screentime to Adam, Sid and Sheldon and i hope great stories for Jo:thumbsup: BUT the least i want is more DLL VOMITIVE show:wtf:
:lol::lol::lol:No kidding, right?
:lol:. Dame Edna does wear that ubertech shine well, and yet, is somehow still direct and to the point onscreen, doesn't really muck about does she... .EDNA's looking good. :lol:
Aw. Well. Garcia also essentially is teh Office of Unfettered Omniscience after all :lol:. Rosco is our bearded guide to the Tech Republik, and it looks like he's branching out and making some new friends. I tweaked an eyebrow at the fact he did on shift (on a show, that's just playing to fate :lol, but actually thought it was kinda fun precisely because it's not "proper" , and Adam's a self-concious type to begin with. Moreover, if Adam is secure enough to do so on work hours, he's creating his own reasons now to be worried and knows it. But yes. He could be on a break. Still wanna see how he has to broach Mac after witnessing the event given he was trying to be so furtive about it in the first place.I personally don't have a problem with Adam chatting online with someone while on-the-clock. For anyone who watches Criminal Minds, Garcia sometimes does the same thing, which is entertaining. It may not be right, but there are worst ways to advance a plot, and it's possible Adam may just have been on a break.
Pleased to hear that Edward James Olmos is going to be on the show. And doubly yay in general for a great guest star instead of stunt casting. Also interesting his character will be someone Mac helped put away years ago. I mean, of course there's an ubercoincidence like that in NY's finite realm where all things (and apparently ppl) are Connekted :lol:, but EJO & GS should be some good screentime and fun to watch together. Also interesting that the history between the characters sounds like it could predate Mac being with the labs at all.TV Guide Magazine has learned exclusively that CSI: NY has cast Edward James Olmos in his first television role since Battlestar Galactica's heroic Admiral William Adama.
In a story about gang turf wars, the actor plays a former gang leader — newly released from prison — who goes head-to-head with Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), who had put him away 15 years earlier. The episode will air in October.

She's a former FBI agent? I wonder if that's how Jo teasing Adam will play out... . "We know all about you Mister Ross..." :lol: (Less enthralled if she's not just poking randomly at an air of nervousness, especially imagining Adam meeting a new superior, and it turns out to be because Jo somehow knew Haylen after being part of looking at the NY labs for a !Recruit).
While the "CSI" mothership is getting a visit from Justin Bieber, "CSI: NY" is getting a new cast member when Sela Ward joins the team now that Melina Kanakaredes is exiting.
"I'm sort of thrown into the fire right away," Ward tells ET, which caught up with her on the set. "It is more complicated than I thought."
And Stack says, "I think Sela is such a fan favorite. She has been on so many shows. Audiences respond to her. I think her and Gary [Sinise] is a great pairing. They are both such accomplished actors."
"CSI: NY" moves to Friday nights this fall on CBS.
