At Home With Sofia Milos
May 23, 2005
As "CSI: Miami"s Detective Yelina Salas, Italian bombshell SOFIA MILOS handles homicides, humidity and hothead Det. Horatio Crane (DAVID CARUSO)! And it's not entirely different at her new, European-styled home, where she's overseeing workers as they transform it into an Old World paradise.
"It will be like Pompeii," the curly-haired beauty tells ET's MARK STEINES. "A beautiful terrace where you have your cappuccino, brioche in the morning with your loved one ... maybe a puppy."
A puppy? Well, why not. She's going to need someone to cuddle with tonight when the series' nail-biting season finale airs at 10 EST and her character's dead husband, Raymond Caine, resurfaces in a shocking twist!
We've watched Horatio keep his love for his sister-in-law, Yelina, at bay for years now. He even let Yelina think he fathered a little girl with a drug informant, even though the child is not his but belongs to her dead hubby.
With all these crazy plot twists and turns, the Roman-raised actress needs a relaxing place to unwind.
"I just imagine myself with a 'CSI: Miami' script looking out and thinking, 'This will make life a lot easier,'" she says.

The Women of 'CSI: Miami'
December 20, 2004
They're pretty and they pack a punch: EMILY PROCTER, KHANDI ALEXANDER and SOFIA MILOS are the leading women of "CSI: Miami," and, boy, are they tough.
On tonight's ET, we take a look at what makes the "Miami" women tick.
"I feel as if in the last couple of years, strength in women has become more popular in television and I, for one, have benefited," Emily says. "It has been marvelous for me to play a woman who has something to say and who is invested in her life and her job."
The proof is that all three women report that the reaction of their female fans is positive. The viewers identify with the women they see on the forensic drama. After all, it reflects what is happening in real life as women branch out in terms of occupations.
"Actually 50 percent of the fans writing me are women," Sofia says. "They say, 'Thank you.' It started right after I did the role on 'The Sopranos' as Annalisa, the mafia boss. And, of course, I have it here as well. I play this strong woman who has a job. She is tough on the job, but she is a mom and she is vulnerable, feminine and all-woman, but she is a businesswoman as well."
Even as strong as these women are, and they have been exposed to a lot on the series, sometimes the creep factor enters into their real lives.
"I have the utmost respect for coroners and medical examiners," Khandi claims, "but they are insane. A couple of them would eat their lunch while they're doing an autopsy. I think that's amazing, you know?"
For her part, Emily says the ick factor has changed her perception of the world. "I used to view the world as far more clean than I now do," she admits. "Now it is filthy. The 10-second rule that used to apply no longer does. If something falls, I am not picking it up. The: it is a cookie, blow it off, is no longer. It's gone."
An interesting story point on which "CSI: Miami" is focusing recently is abuse. Yalina, the character that Sofia plays, was seen sporting a black eye. Horatio (DAVID CARUSO) suspects her cop boyfriend hit her and threatens the guy. But Yalina won't discuss it.
"Strong women -- detectives, cops -- are attracted to strong men," Sofia says of her character. "In my life that wouldn't happen, but in Yalina's life, I think it is an important story to tell. It does happen and cops won't talk about it if it happens to them. They cover it up because they are embarrassed and I think Yalina is embarrassed."
