As CSI Files previously reported<\/a>, Executive Producers Pam Veasey<\/b> and Zachary Reiter<\/b> participated in the CBS Fall Premiere chat tonight, September 16, and they offered some information about CSI: New York’<\/i>s upcoming eighth season. Spoilers after the jump!<\/p>\n

\nNew York<\/i> was in danger of being cancelled after season seven, but Veasey and Reiter aren’t looking at season eight as the final year. “Not planning this as a final season – we never make that plan, we just plan to keep the audience riveted,” they explained on Twitter<\/a>. “Excited by Friday night and our new lead in [A Gifted Man<\/i>]. We never plan that way. Even if we find ourselves in same situation.”<\/p>\n

\nAt the end of season seven, Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo<\/b>) got a promotion, and that will spell changes for him and wife Lindsay (Anna Belknap<\/b>). “Danny will be a sergeant when we return and it will mean things the audience will be surprised by,” the producers said. “Danny runs into a few conflicts in his promotion… after that, their relationship is working, Lucy is healthy, but job is a conflict. After that we’ll plan something else really juicy!”<\/p>\n

\nLindsay will also play “a big role in a 3 episode arc” regarding Jo Danville’s (Sela Ward<\/b>) past in Washington, DC. In last season’s “Vigilante”<\/a>, Jo mentioned the final case she worked in DC before she came to the Big Apple. A rapist got off due to mishandled evidence, and the case will resurface in New York.<\/p>\n

\nJo’s ex-husband Russ Josephson (David James Elliott<\/b>) appeared in several episodes last season (most recently “Identity Crisis”<\/a>), but Elliott’s casting on the new ABC series Good Christian Belles<\/I> will prevent fans from seeing him on New York<\/i> for the time being. “If that should fail, we’d welcome him back!” the producers explained. However, despite the fact that Jo’s ex-husband won’t be back to woo her, “many of our single cast members may get love interests.”<\/p>\n

\nDon Flack’s (Eddie Cahill<\/b>) sister Samantha (Kathleen Munroe<\/b>, “Dead Inside”<\/a>) will return this season. “We’re hoping to start something that will have Flack making an [important] decision [with] respect to his job by end of season,” they shared. Meanwhile, resident coroner Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy<\/b>) has a ‘good moment’ coming up, Veasey and Reiter revealed: “[H]e becomes an inventor of a very interesting object!”
