"Criminal Minds" fans who are disappointed to not see Emily Prentiss return to fill one of the BAU’s vacancies can blame John Stamos’ surprise brush with grandfatherhood.
Appearing Thursday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, where she was promoting the new Fox comedy "Grandfathered", Paget Brewster revealed that she was interested in putting in another "Criminal Minds" encore, but scheduling conflicts proved insurmountable.
“I was hoping to jump in and do a couple of Criminal Minds episodes, because my friend A.J. Cook, who plays JJ, is finishing maternity leave,” Brewster shared. “But it didn’t work out, time-wise.”
Brewster elaborated on the situation for TVLine, saying: “A.J. called me and I said, ‘I think so, if we aren’t doing Grandfathered‘ — at the time, I didn’t know if we were picked up by Fox — and it just didn’t work out, which was too bad because I love those guys. I love the writers, I’m still friends with everyone there…. But it just didn’t work out, which was a shame. I really wanted to do it!”
