Changes Hit CSI: Miami
by Scott Huver August 12, 2009 04:52 PM EST


Eva La Rue says CSI: Miami is spending a little less time in the sun and more in the lab as the eighth season goes back to basics.

La Rue tells TVGuideMagazine.comthe producers are turning back the clock to bring the hit series closer to its original format. “They’re gonna go back to the first couple of years of CSI: Miami,” she said. “There’s a lot more science, David [Caruso] is back in the lab a lot more now. They’re going to go back to their initial roots.”

One thing won’t be the same, however, as original castmember Adam Rodriguez’s character Erik Delko will be less visible as the season goes on, while newcomer Eddie Cibrian is joining the cast. “A lot’s changed,” La Rue explained. “Adam is not going to be here for the whole season. Eddie just started with the first episode, so there’s been a lot of changes and it’s been really exciting. It’s our eighth season and I think it’s going to be the one to watch.”

La Rue says Rodriguez’s departure, yet to be plotted out, won’t be happening right away. “He’s going to be here for a little while, so we haven’t had to say goodbye yet. But it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to him. We love him! Everybody does.”

The actress says she’s looking forward to learning just what’s in store for Cibrian’s addition and the fate of Erik’s romance with Caliegh (Emily Procter). “I’m kind of wondering what’s going to happen with Eddie, because Emily and Adam were together last year and I’m thinking he’s up for grabs.”

*First Look: Eddie Cibrian goes shirtless for CSI:Miami

Photo by: Cliff Lipson / CBS

A good cop with a conscience may leave himself exposed in difficult situations – but for a good cop with a good bod, that's just par for the course.

Eddie Cibrian, 36, who in June joined the cast of CSI: Miami as Jesse Cardoza, an officer from the Hollywood Division who joins the squad in Miami, doffs his shirt in this exclusive PEOPLE.com First Look photo – taken Aug. 7 on the show's Manhattan Beach, Calif., set. In it, Cibrian's Jesse gets caught up in a hostage situation and treats a gunshot wound victim by – natch – using his shirt to stanch the bleeding.

To see more from this scene, tune in to the full episode, which will air on CBS Monday, Sept. 28.

(Thanks texmex327.)

*TVGuide

Laurence Fishburne will work major overtime this season. The actor’s character Professor Ray Langston will crossover to both CSI:Miami and CSI:NY during November sweeps, studio confirms to TVguidemagazine.com exclusively. The storyline will begin on Monday in Miami, continue on Wednesday in New York and wrap up the following day in Las Vegas.

This is the first time a crossover will involve all three of the CBS hit procedurals. The last crossover occurred in 2005 with CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, but the episode did not involve any of the characters from the original CSI.

(Thanks for the heads-up, mjszud.)

Let's continue!

Ah, new thread smell. Geni, dear, I hope you put out treats (chocolaty ones), & oh yeah lots of alcohol (for me the lush), after what we just read.

I am soooo looking forward to this part in the new season - it sounds very promising! I can't wait to see H back in the lab.

This part I'm not looking forward to. *mumbles bad launguage* I just hope we get to see the real Eric Delko while he's still with us -- I've missed him so.

Now, where's my alcoholic beverage?

I am kind of hoping that since he hasn't totally left yet and he will be recurring for a time....maybe they will be able to convince him to stay or continue throughout the entire as recurring. I would take that over him totally leaving the show.

I am also interested in seeing why he is leaving. Emily mentioned poor contract negotiations...which usually translates to it being monetary. Now, given this economy, I would usually say "a paycheck is a paycheck" however, after seeing how much some of the other CSI stars make, I don't really blame him for asking for more money. If that is indeed what the negotiations centered around. He is very popular on the show and an integral part of it. He has gotten some great stories over the past couple of years so him wanting to be compensated for that is not out of the question, imo. I mean there is no reason for some of these actors on tv to make what they make per episode. It is actually quite rediculous in some instances. Instead of paying one actor that much...they should spread the love! Something tells me, that salary freeze CBS asks some of their actors to take, didn't go over big.

On the other hand, if he wants to leave to explore more opportunities and roles....I wish him well. I'm sure playing the same character for 8 years can get a little boring and mundane and actors might often feel the need for a change in order to "spread their wings" and feel challenged.

I am kind of excited to see the show "get back to its roots" so to speak. It has definately been a long time coming. This show has needed a reboot of sorts. For a while I feel like it was out in left field just hanging there....ya never knew where the writers were taking you. So getting back to basics, I think is just what this show needs. Although, sometimes it can be tough to do a reboot on a show this late into the series....sometimes it can backfire. So far from the spoilers I have read, there really isn't anything catching my attention....other than they, so far, don't seem to be implementing that big "on going storyline" (ie the Russians/ Male Noche) yet. Hopefully by "getting back to basics" they will keep it simple. I personally yearn for the days when this show was "simple" :lol:

I don't think they see Eddie C as a savior for the show but I do think they seem to think he will be a draw and obviously a demographic replacement. I personally think he has big shoes to fill.

 

[GregNickRyanFan]

I'm hoping too that he'll change his mind and stay.

I have to say i love how you break down each and every little bit into a nice simple message not positive nor negative just simple.....

I too am looking forwards to it going back to basic and even though H bugs me just a tid bit i like when hes in the lab.

I used to love more about when it was simple and they made little jokes about their life during their conversations and finding out that way rather then have their whole life spilled out over an hour ep.

I too wish Adam would be a recurring rather then completely gone....that would just kill me and yes if eddie is indeed the replacement i guess maybe they going to let us get use to him instead of doing a Tara and throwing them in the deep end and saying " now do your best " since we didnt really know that much about Tara....

Just puts a slight damper on the season coming back....well for me it does...but guess the usual wait and see!

 

[GregNickRyanFan]

I wonder when some promo pics are gonna come out for ep one. Since its a flashback ep, we might not get any from it and just get ones from 2 and 3. :lol:

 

[vegaslights]

Not sure if this was posted yet, but 8x04 is titled "In Plane Sight."

:lol: Very cute!

 

[Composer1234]

I am getting quite excited for the 'back to more science' part!:thumbsup:
and it looks like Adam is really leaving...*sigh*...i had hope but i guess all we can do is enjoy the episodes he is in and hope that the writers make his departure a good one! It will be so sad to see him leave...

up for the grabs? is she implying that Calleigh and Jesse?!...

also i dont know if anyone's seen these but i will post the link anyway,

http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/08/csi-miami-set-photos.html

its not much but at least we get the hummer!

 

[Solitaire]

I alos like the idea of 'back to basics.' The science does seem to have gotten lost in the more recent seasons. And im all for H being in the lab more- far more realistic.

It will be sad when Adam goes, but hopefully they can give him a really good story and not kill him off!

It would be more interesting if Jesse was already married. We wouldn't have to see the family even, just mention them. Im definitely against Cal and Jesse in a relationship. I would hope TPTB would not even consider it.

 

[MiamiWolfe]

Okay I dont have the link but has anyone seen the new picture of Eddie shirtless in the second episode? I hate to say it, but this guy (character) has it all: shirtless, pilot liscense, a history from back then when the lab started...wow. You Ryan fans must be jealous, cuz Eddie looked fine lol.:lol:

Not jealous, irritated actually. It seems as if we know more about this guy and he hasn't even appeared in an episode than we know about Ryan right now (very sad):scream:. As far as I am concerned, He can't hold a candle to Ryan, shirtless or not.

I am soooo looking forward to this part in the new season - it sounds very promising! I can't wait to see H back in the lab.

Me too. I like the back to basics.

I would like him married as well. More lab work and stories, less relationship drama.

Actually, it's Ryan's humor & personality that makes him appealing to my eyes, & viewing Jesse's asscrack & chest doesn't show me neither of those. Even though they'll tell us that Jesse has a history with the team, I will likely still always look at Ryan as being there "first", along with the others.

It would be more interesting if Jesse was already married. We wouldn't have to see the family even, just mention them. Im definitely against Cal and Jesse in a relationship. I would hope TPTB would not even consider it.

I'm not an e/c shipper, & I'm against a Jesse/Calleigh relationship-- but mainly it's because her character has already revolved around relationships (first Jake all in S5 & 6, then Eric the last season) ,not to mention drama, so much that I think it'd be best for her character to get back into the working groove - she seems more fitting there anyway.

Eddie did mention that the team won't know why he's there, or what he's doing there, so I'm wondering if maybe there's something/someone who brought him back to Miami that will resurface later in the season. It would be interesting if it's a wife, or maybe he has a child .....or he could be some looney stalker/killer & tptb are just trying to fool us with his Gary Stu appearance

Not even close to jealous.Ryan has a killer smile and beautiful eyes.Great sense of humor too .He's able to take hard knocks with the best of them.Plus he's quite pleasing to the eye.I really don't care if he doesn't take off his shirt.He doesnt need to show his chest or asscrack.

I'm another one that looks forward to getting back to the basics. I want more sciene,forensics and non mob/gang related crime.

 

[texmex327]

I am still hoping that Jesse is gonna be a serial killer and the only ones that will stop him are Ryan & Eric...Horatio needs to save himself too...LOL

Thinking about Eva's comments, maybe she feels that it is Natalia's turn for some romance...but not the with new guy...do something different, make him married, but don't let him be the one who cheats on his wife...it just hits a little to close to home...LOL

Though my heart belongs to Eric, I'll love Ryan before I love Jesse.
