CSI: Vegas - Will Grissom Leave Next?
According to BuddyTV, William Petersen, who plays CSI: Vegas’ Gil Grissom, is thinking about his character leaving the show at some time in the future. Here’s some of what he had to say about it:
“It’s hard to play the same character all the time; at some point you want to be released from that,” Petersen told the Radio Times. “I understood that going into CSI to a certain degree, but you don’t know how long it’s going to last. I think the time is coming when it will be the right choice for Grissom and the audience for me to do something else. I sort of know when, but it’s between me and the producers.”
So how would you imagine Grissom leaving the show? Would Sara return with a baby and he would decide to leave to make a life with them? Would he get in one huge argument with his superieors and they fire him? What do you think the story line would be? Leave a comment to share your thoughts!

Wow… Grissom leaving? That’s another huge blow to the CSI:LV family. If you lose Grissom, you are going to lose a lot of viewers.

I would love to see Grissom & Sara run off into the sunset but agree that if grissom left then a lot of people would just switch off. He IS CSI!

Grissom, although one of my favorite characters, is not the “be all end all” of CSI for me. He’s not on the show alone every week and I think it’s kind of insulting to the rest of the incredible cast to assume they couldn’t carry on without him. I think CSI would suffer a bit, but that would likely be due to the combination of a major character leaving AND the fact that the show is getting on in years. It’s going to have to start loosing some steam at some point, but I for one will be there until the very end. This entire cast has given me an amazing show for 8 years and I’ll stick with them as long as it lasts.

WOW if grissom leaves the show will just be plane cause grissom is awkard you know and that’s what makes csi, csi and it would just be blech without him and since sara left the hasn’t been the same and if Grissom leaves it would just make it worse and that would really just put a damper on the amount of viewers and that’s just not cool

He tries this crap every yr, you guys ever get sick of it, it is justa publicity stunt. Theirs a reason he isn’t doing his dream of stage acting. Cause theres no work for him in it. Hes stuck with CSI as its the only role he’ll fit into and he fits just perfectly :)

it would be very different if any of the vegas csi cast was to leave. weve settled into their charactors. but the show is still well written and the remaining cast are very strong. plus it doesnt mean that they wont bring more talent for fresh ideas. it has been 8 long years and ive loved every one of them. but im sure they could excite us more with new avenues…

You have not said if Grissim and Sara are going to be together. What a letdown if they do not stay together. So disappointing, they look so good together

We need William Peterson as Grissom , he is the fuel of the program. The others leaving did not interfere with the dynamics of it.
We need W. Petersen there.
