Berman Becomes Series Regular

One coroner gets bumped up.

According to TV Guide, the ninth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation could be very different than any season that has come before. Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) will be returning for a brief stint (reported by TV Guide to be one episode) on the show following her exit during season eight. Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) is saying goodbye to the crime drama in the fall.

With another CSI leaving, the show is going to expand the roles of several existing characters. Liz Vassey (Wendy Simms) will betting more screentime. David Berman (David Phillips), who has appeared in more than 130 episodes of CSI since the show began, will become a series regular in season nine.

For the first time, viewers of CSI will have a brand new full-time investigator on the show. Lauren Lee Smith will be joining the show as Sara Sidle's replacement. Her character, Bryce Adams (referred to in different spoilers as Riley Adams), will have plenty to do in the Las Vegas crime lab.

The original information is from a video on TV Guide.
