Season 11 Will Be Marg's Last Season of CSI

Season 11 Will Be Marg’s Last Season of CSI

Marg has confirmed to TV Guide’s William Keck that she will only be in 19 episodes in CSI’s 11th season and that she thinks they will be her last CSI episodes. Apart from the reason behind her upcoming departure and the possible way for Catherine to exit the show, she also talked about both her and Catherine’s love lives.

TV Guide Magazine: With a pay raise, you were in line to top Law & Order: SVU’s Mariska Hargitay as TV’s highest-paid actress, right?

Helgenberger: I did not get a pay raise this year. I asked to do less episodes, so I am doing only 19. CBS was also using the poor economy as a way to pull in the reins, so honestly all of us took pay cuts this year. Because I’m doing [fewer episodes], I won’t be making as much. Plus, I negotiated to do a few episodes in which I’m only working three days, so the salary was adjusted. Apart from the money, I wasn’t quite ready to let go of the character and the people I work with.
