CSI: NY Casting Info

Here’s a spoiler from TV Guide that I hope doesn’t mean what it suggests that it means…

As you know, season 5 of CSI: NY ended in a cliffhanger where no one knows which character is being written out of the show. I don’t like the thought of where this casting notice takes me:

What can you tell us about CSI: NY’s decision to hire a new CSI? — Karla

TIM: The show recently sent out casting notices for the new series regular role of Kaye Sullivan, a young, attractive risk-taker whose personality has elements of Lindsay, Dr. Peyton Driscoll and ADA Natalie Greer (played for two episodes by Heather Mazur). How do we know? Because the audition script prepared for prospective Kaye Sullivans consists of dialogue spoken by those familiar characters. [Source: TV Guide]

But then, here’s another spoiler about the cast changes for the show:

Question: I read that they are casting for a new female CSI on CSI NY. Any info on if this is a replacement or an addition? In other words, is someone not returning in September? –Kate

Ausiello: I can tell you that it’s not a replacement for either Anna Belknap or Melina Kanakaredes. Both are officially returning next season. Not sure about the rest of the cast. [Source: EW]
