But Raymond Langston’s (Laurence Fishburne) hunt for the serial killer who stole his kidney last year isn’t the only mystery surrounding CBS’ flagship crime show. The network has yet to ink new pacts with Fishburne, Marg Helgenberger, and other costars whose contracts expire after the May 12 finale. “It’s definitely a cliff-hanger,” teases exec producer Carol Mendelsohn.

Mendelsohn: Marg Will Be a Big Presence in a Lot of Season 12

By • Filed in: News

In the latest Mega Buzz from TV Guide, Adam Bryant shares his talk with CSI executive producer Carol Mendelsohn about Marg/Catherine in the show’s next season.

Is Marg Helgenberger really leaving CSI? Does the Langston-Haskell finale take time to give Catherine a good send-off? — Jackson

ADAM: There’s no send-off, but that’s because Catherine isn’t going anywhere for the time being. “We expect to see Catherine back next season,” executive producer Carol Mendelsohn says. “She will be the supervisor of the graveyard shift. Fans don’t have to say goodbye quite yet.” That doesn’t rule out a send-off next season, of course, but it doesn’t sound like one will come quickly. “I would say that Marg will be a big presence in a lot of the season,” Mendelsohn says.

Delancy: Any scoop about CSI? I’m loving it this season!
Episode 22 will delve into the aftermath of Langston versus super-duper serial killer Nate Haskell. (Hint: Langston wins!) As Langston’s ex Gloria (Tracee Ellis Ross) recovers from her ordeal at Haskell’s hands (eek!), Willows will do her level best to keep Gloria’s mom from kicking Langston’s butt for allowing her daughter to be in such danger.
