CSI: Vegas is seeing another original CSI cast member return for the second season. ET Online revealed that Eric Szmanda will appear in multiple episodes of the series alongside star Marg Helgenberger. The actor appeared in 15 seasons of CSI as tech whiz Greg Sanders.
No details about Szmanda’s return were revealed, but it’s been in the works since the first season. CSI creator Anthony Zuiker teased the following about the CBS series last year:
“I will be personally lobbying to bring somebody [specific] back from CSI, if we get a [season 2] pickup. I think the fans would like to see some familiar faces. And if we do get a pickup, and we have a sit-down about what season 2 looks like, I’ll definitely be making a case for bringing familiar faces back, yeah.
If I had to choose, it would be somebody from the original CSI cast to come back. That would be something I would definitely lobby for. And like I said, CSI’s family, so all four of those shows [CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY and CSI: Cyber] are wide open for possibilities.”
Specifics about Szmanda’s return will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you excited to see another original cast member return for the revival?
Yes, yes, and yes! for me this is good news, its just going to take a little time and creativity for better epidodes to aire, but I’m excited to see whats in the making for 2023. CSI Vegas, you have my vote bring it on!
Original cast members are what makes the show. I however do love the new characters.
Hey, it couldn’t hurt!
The storyline with Helgenberger this Season was BORING! First Season storyline was somewhat interesting. I wasn’t impressed with Grissom, as he was way better in the original series. Now Jorja earned her paycheck on the first new season, and was just like how she used to be on the original.
Unless you can actually make an entertaining storyline involving the old cast just let the new cast make it on their own.
I agree, for some reason the acting is so forced and Paula Newsome and Helgenberger aren’t good at it.
The storyline was bad and for me they are changing the script episode by episode, maybe the viewers did not picked up so they finished early Also the main story was for some reason forget and now was picked up with a very strange twist.
I think that is great!
This is AWESOME so happy to see a tv company finally bring back a show that was fantastic but canceled and they decided to bring it back so THANKS CBS for bringing back one of your best shows !! I also agree get more of the ones you had in the first CSI !!!!!!! I wish your company and other companies would go back and look at the shows that was AWESOME and renew them for us baby Boomers to watch ???
This is good news. Love the show.
Love this show
