‘CSI:NY’ Follows Characters Home & Features Iconic NYC Locations

Upcoming episodes of CSI: New York will include scenes filmed on-location in the Big Apple, and characters will continue to deal with more personal storylines as season nine continues. (Spoilers after the jump!)

The series may be set in New York City, but CSI: NY usually films in Los Angeles, California. However, fans can look forward to several upcoming episodes featuring an authentic New York backdrop. “We spent a lot of time in New York, so in those episodes you will see that we were in Yankee Stadium, we were on the High Line in New York City, we were in Central Park at Turtle Pond and Belvedere Castle, and the Odeon Café,” Executive Producer Pam Veasey told XFinity TV. “We were all over New York City. Shows five through eight are filled with great New York stories at iconic New York places.”

The latest episode, “Unspoken”, showed Lindsay (Anna Belknap) and Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo) away from work, attending a political rally with their daughter Lucy (Brooklyn Silzer). Other personal moments so far this season include Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) with his girlfriend Christine Whitney (Megan Dodds), and Jo Danville (Sela Ward) spending time at home with her daughter Ellie (Sydney Park). CSI Files previously reported that season nine would follow the characters outside the job, but Veasey described the aforementioned events as “little snippits of the real thing we are doing.” She added, “The first episode that shows really going home is Episode 5 and it is a story that centers around Eddie Cahill’s character Don Flack. When we say going home, every character has a day off and you spend time with them on their day off. I think the audience will really respond because you get to learn things about them, see what happens to them, and what they do on their days off. There is one for Sid [Hammerback, Robert Joy] and Adam [Ross, AJ Buckley] and everybody.”

Veasey also promised that New York fans have not seen the last of Mac’s ongoing struggle with memory problems. After being shot in the season eight finale, “Near Death”, Mac was diagnosed with anomic aphasia, a condition that leaves him unable to remember certain words. Mac has not mentioned the aphasia to anyone else on the team, and for a while he’ll try to deal with it on his own. “Mac struggles with his own weaknesses,” Veasey explained. “He doesn’t like to share them. He thinks he can overcome them so he is struggling doing this alone, despite the advice he gets from everyone. He will keep it secret for a while, then he expands to sharing it. Others will know it and then he will recover.”
