She'll Be Back

Catherine isn't going anywhere just yet.

During season eight, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation lost two original characters: Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) left midway through the season, and Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) made his exit in the season finale. With the cast down by two, and contracts up for renegotiation, there was a question if other actors on the show would be taking their leave as well.

Back in April, CSI Files reported that William Petersen (Gil Grissom) had signed a contract to remain on CSI through at least the 2008-2009 season (albeit with plenty of "out" clauses). Co-star Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) had to decide how to proceed when her own contract ran out. As reported back in Feburary, Helgenberger plans to finish what she started.

According to TV Squad, USA Today has confirmed that Helgenberger will stay with CSI a while longer. She signed a new contract to keep her character on the show for two more years. Helgenberger is reportedly the last original cast member to re-up her contract.

The original news is from TV Squad.
