Criminal Minds: Hauptdarstellerin kehrt zurück
A.J. Cook wird ein weiteres Mal in die Rolle der Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau in der Serie Criminal Minds schlüpfen. Der Vertrag der Darstellerin war im letzten Sommer nicht verlängert worden, Produktion und Schauspielerin einigten sich schließlich darauf, die Handlung um die Figur in zwei Episoden am Anfang der C zu Ende zu bringen: JJ nahm einen neuen Job im Pentagon an.

Nun berichtet TVLine, dass Darstellerin A.J. Cook in dieser Woche wieder am Set von Criminal Minds erwartet wird, um einen Gastauftritt abzudrehen. Weder Details zur Handlung noch der genaue Ausstrahlungszeitpunkt der Episode sind bisher bekannt. Mittlerweile wurde die von JJs Ausstieg aufgerissene Lücke im Ensemble mit Darstellerin Rachel Nichols gefüllt. Derzeit ist noch nicht klar, ob Paget Brewster die Serie am Ende der Staffel verlassen wird. Vor Beginn der Staffel hatte man Brewster angekündigt, dass sie ihren Abschied würde nehmen müssen - inzwischen wurde diese Aussage relativiert. Dennoch hält sich Brewster die Möglichkeit offen, in einem neuen Serienpiloten mitzuwirken.

mattcail: Any hints on the season finale of Criminal Minds?
Criminal Minds star Rachel Nichols, who plays the newest member of the BAU team, Ashley Seaver, tells us, "Oh god, we're on episode 20 right now; the season finale would be episode 23 or 24...I don't even know what's going to happen. There is a very exciting episode coming up that Matthew [Gray Gubler] directed. He directed two episodes. He directed episode 19 of this season and one in a prior season, and he is fantastic as a director...I believe the episode was called 'Lauren,' and that's my favorite episode we've shot so far...it's not the season finale, but they do a really good job with the subject material in that episode and that's all I am going to say. Fans will not be disappointed." (Can't wait.) BTW, in case you missed it, Nichols and Gubler joined forced to gently crush your dreams of a Reid-Seaver hookup. Sorry.

“Lauren” is easily one of the most important episodes of Criminal Minds ever. And that’s not even necessarily in regards to the headline-making events, like Paget Brewster’s exit and the return of A.J. Cook. But as a team, the BAU is about to face what episode director and star Matthew Gray Gubler calls an action-packed, “epic” episode, complete with grenades, machine guns, and some heart-wrenching performances from the cast as Emily is captured by her nemesis Ian Doyle.

“I think our greatest episodes are the ones where all of the main characters on it get their moment to shine and do their unique thing,” Gubler tells EW. “The writer on this one did a great job of giving us all really great moments [that were] true to the character and true to the situation at hand. Joe, in particular, has some great stuff. I love it when Joe gets to be the old-timey tough guy.”

For Gubler, the highlight was communicating the team member’s unique reactions as they dealt with Emily being in a life-or-death predicament. “These characters exhibit a different form because of the sacrifice she’s making. Not to ruin it, but to save us, she’s going on a suicide mission. With Reid, I sort of wanted to represent the younger brother — almost the child she’s losing. That was my take on it as an actor. Morgan takes it as her boyfriend in a sense; he’s offended that she had this – I don’t want to give away too much – but this relationship with a killer. Joe takes it like he’s losing a daughter, and Hotch like a sister. A lot is on the line in this one.”

Fans know that the result will be Emily’s exit from the team (though most say the door is left open for her return). But what will this mean for big baddie Doyle?

“You never know,” Gubler teases. “There’s definitely some doors left open, and if we ever wanted to find a guy and smash a guy’s face in, it would be this one. If there’s ever a need for a BAU to take something personal, Doyle might have a number on his back.”

Additional note: There’s much more non-spoilery stuff from my interview with Gubler coming on Wednesday. So keep an eye on EW’s Inside TV blog!
