On the heels of news that Rory Cochrane is returning to one of the other CSI shows, CSI: Miami, comes this news: Jorja Fox is probably on her way out.

CSI Producer Carol Mendolsohn tells TV Guide's Michael Ausiello that they have just cast a new female lab technician that will be introduced in the third episode, and there are hints that she's not just a new cast member but a new cast member that will take over for Jorja Fox, whose Sara character might die in that car crash. Executive Producer Jonathan Littman says that the Grissom/Sara storyline will definitely be resolved, and didn't say if Fox would be in the show this season beyond the season opener.

Ooo...hope if this is true, the new person is better than Jorja.

From what I've seen, it's actually a new CSI Level 1 who comes in in the third episode, I think. However, they often bring in new characters without getting rid of any of the others (ie Sofia, etc.) so you never know.

I realize I'm probably/definitely in the minority, but I really like Jorja Fox's character and hope that she comes back.
