Finally! We get some scoop about Anna Belknap’s brand new baby. Michael Ausiello at EW tells us that, and a bit of spoiler about the upcoming death on CSI: NY in the season finale. I’m still a bit confused about the finale scoop, but very happy for Anna.

Spoiler:
Question: Any scoop on who is going to die on CSI: NY? Is it someone shown in the opening credits? — Carissa
Ausiello: Yes. And as exec producer Pam Veasey reveals, in addition to the death “something happens to someone else. There will be a life-changing experience for another character.” Veasey declined to say whether that something was good or bad, although she did offer what could be a clue: “We really want to have a hopeful and heroic start to next season. It’ll be really positive, fun, and spirited.”

Question: I’m happy Lindsay’s returning to CSI: NY next month, but do we know for a fact Anna Belknap ever gave birth? I searched high and low on the Interwebs but I can’t find any info about it. –Claire
Ausiello: That’s probably because there’s no info to be found — until now! Sources confirm to me exclusively that Anna gave birth to her second child, son George, on Feb. 6. (You’re welcome, Google.) [Source: EW]

Episode 5.16 - No Good Deed
Air Date: February 25, 2009

The premise for this episode sounds somewhat similar to an early CSI: Vegas episode where a crow brings a human eyeball that starts an investigation. However, this time instead of being in the desert of Navada, the crime scene will be in New York City. Let’s face it. There are fewer places for human reamins to go undetected in a big city. I’m sure this episode will be interesting!

Episode 5.15 - The Party’s Over
Air Date: February 18, 2009

Talk about a buzz kill…a dead body dropping from the ceiling always does it for me.

And the dead body isn’t just any old dead body. Turns out it’s Deputy Inspector Gillian Whitford from the episode prior to this one. And who doesn’t love Craig T. Nelson who played Coach? He sounds like he’ll be a not-so-nice character when he guest stars in this episode of CSI: NY. It sounds like a great one!
