The latest episode of CSI: New York<\/i> introduced an intense personal storyline for Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy<\/b>), raising doubts about the character’s future on the series. (Spoilers after the jump!)<\/p>\n

However, he added, “This is definitely a very different and personal struggle Sid is going to have to face—and he’s lucky to have a friend in Jo to support him through it.”<\/p>\n \nThe “Guardian Angel” storyline was created to show the next part of Sid’s story after becoming a millionaire in season eight’s “The Ripple Effect”<\/a>; the coroner wanted to use his money to help the families of victims who had come across his autopsy table.
