CSI: Miami Losing Khandi Alexander!

Khandi AlexanderAccording to Michael Ausiello, Khandi Alexander will be leaving CSI: Miami at the end of the season. Apparently, there’s som controversy about her leaving:

Although CBS declined to comment, a Miami insider confirms that Alexander — who has played medical examiner Alexx Woods since day one — is leaving at the end of the season. What’s the story behind this exit? I’m not 100 percent certain, but, from what I gather, it wasn’t one of those mutual deals we’ve been hearing about so much lately. Let’s just say Alexander had some, um, issues with a certain aspect of the show and leave it at that, K?

Meanwhile, Miami’s on the prowl for a new medical examiner to succeed Alexander, and word on the street is the newbie will have male genitalia.

I will miss her on the show and have really loved her character’s compassion and warmth. I only hope that whoever fills the role in the future will be as engaging. What do you think of her leaving? Leave a comment to share your thoughts!

    Apparently the producers are listening. Alex is back as the head Dr. in E.R. The show seems to be leading up to her going back to her job as M.I. Let’s hope so. She is certainly worth top earnings. Her acting is 2nd to none. Good seeing you back Khandi.

    Are you lot crazy? Khandi Alexander was and still is as bad as any of the others on CSI Miami. Awful, absolutely awful.

    Khandi Alexander is the Baddest actor on t.v. !!!! she is gorgeous,talented
    and did more with nothing than some people do in a one woman show!!!!!
    Give her her own spin-off show.

    The CSI producers are dead wrong for this one.Ive recently started watching CSI within the last couple of years or so.First it was Speed and now Alex.I love all the charaters on the show,they all offer something different to CSI,but Alex brought that sense of spunk, style but most of all compassion for the dead as well as her fellow co-workers.I would only like to think someone is as caring and compassionate to me or my loved ones when we should leave this world.Whatever the producers could have done to retain her , they should have done because i can definitely tell u with a high degree of certainity that the ratings are about to go south.Alex is irreplaceable bar none.On a lighter note,hopefully now other doors will open for her with this breakout role.I hope to see her playing bigger and better dynamic roles.She deserves it.

    I agree – the newbie has no class whatsoever. She just blends into the wallpaper – If they want to get rid of anyone it should be that Adam Rodriguez – totally worthless.

    I am watching the show right now. this new chick is soNOTfab! Khandi was compasionate, smart, and jazzy! Her style was ohsoFAB! I can’t imagine a real medical examiner with fierce hair, stilettos, and yes, those Chanel sunglasses. I miss her a bunch.

    It is very obvious that the producers, or whatever do not give a hoot about what the audience wants – they figure that “we will get over it” and accept the newbie who does not come anywhere near Khandi’s performance on CSI Miami.

    I’ve enjoyed watching CSI Miami for a while and I’m going to have a hard time watching the show and NOT seeing Khandi Alexander! I REALLY BELIEVE that “someone”…Producers (maybe)…
    have made a very BIG mistake by letting Ms. Alexander go! I (and all my Friends) wish that she could have been persuaded to stay with the show. It WON’T BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER!

  12. By Elvira

    Why don’t you people admit you made a huge mistake by letting Khandi go – this replacement we see now does not come anywhere close to Khandi and how she handled this role. It is better to have no one. Khandi actually made the viewer believe she grieved with every victim she attended….GET HER BACK!!!!

  13. By Danielle Lee-HOdges

    The NEW chick doesn’t even compre to Khandi!!! I hope the directors doesn’t think that just because she’s another African American it’ll be okay…because it’s not!!! I am very disappointed!!

  14. By Pat

    My husband and I really miss her on the show this season. Maybe they will call her back!

  17. By pjveith

    go girl go….it is none of their business what or where you go…….i am so happy for you

  18. By I Goncang

    People come, people go. Former NCIS Director went out with a bang, too.

  19. By Jax

    I am so sad that Alex Wood left she was the only reason that I watched CSI Miami and the only reason I would ever watch it again is if they had Warrick brown become the new ME. You will be missed Khandi

  20. By Dennis

    Sorry as everyone to see Khandi go. I usually watch all the CSI series and need a reason to cut back. CSI Miami always has incredible scenery, but Horatio is a little hard to take and the plots often seem to be the most over the top of the 3 shows. Losing Khandi Alexander may just be the final straw for me.
