Who will replace Gil Grissom next season

I'm getting the feeling this could be the last season. William Peterson leaving the show will bring down the ratings a lot and nobody can replace him. They are bringing somebody else on the show, but there is no way people are going to suddenly be fine. They brought somebody else on last year and we knew William would be back, but the ratings still dropped a lot.

Grissom is going!?? Oh no. WHen are the new episodes on. I kinda lost track. Last season wasn't as good as csi usually is... then they had the writers strike. I think if William Petersen leaves it will be the end of csi. With Sarah already gone and the series already running out of stories.

I don't think they will "replace" him. They will move someone up. Last season the woman that works in the lab took the exam to make her a CSI and she passed so I am guessing she will be working out in the field now. I hate to see Grissom go, but he is not gone forever. Like he said, he will make occasional appearances and, after, he is the Executive Producer of the show. He is a great character though. Serious with a quirky and fun side to him. Not like Horatio Caine who is way too serious for me.

Nick will be moving into the spot. Or so I've read. I'm not really looking forward ro this season as I used to be. Change is good, but this is going to be so different. I've already lost two of my favorite characters and now my third (and main) one is leaving.

I think that Catherine should get the job. I love her character and she is dedicated to her work, and I think she's the best one for the position
