Jorja Fox Still Not Used To Team-Split

Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) recently sat down the Kiwi version of TV Guide to discuss the current season of CSI, predominantly the split of the Las Vegas crime lab's night shift.

The split, which took place in the episode "Mea Culpa", came at the wake of a mistake that ultimately damaged a murder investigation. As punishment, the team was split in two groups, with Grissom leading the night shift and Catherine the swing shift. Fox admitted it has been hard going to work and not being able to see her old friends. "I really miss working with Marg and Gary and George and it's strange when we pass each other in the hall and we hug because we don't get to see each other that much any more," the actress told the magazine.

But Fox also revealed there are some advantages to the team-split. While the actors get to enjoy more time off the cameras, the split has also given her a chance to get closer to colleague Eric Szmanda (Greg Sanders). "There have been a lot of changes with splitting up the team and I've been thrilled that I get to work a lot more with Eric this season. Greg's enthusiasm for his job really makes everything new again for Sara because his character is now out in the field learning to use stupid little gadgets. So it's been fun for her to enjoy it and see it all through his eyes."

Fans wonder if the increased screen time the two characters have received will be conducive to a romantic relationship. While Fox admitted maybe Sara is looking at Greg with different eyes after his promotion, she made sure to give nothing away. "Well, we had a shower scene not long ago and that was pretty kinky, because we were both naked, but that's all I'm going to say about that," the actress teased.

While Sara and Greg may be growing closer, one giant question still remains: that of the "will they/won't they" relationship between Sara and her boss Gil Grissom. "I think Sara's heart is still broken over Grissom," the actress revealed. "It feels weird to talk about things through Sara's eyes but who knows what could happen with Greg as she moves on? I know that she's been taking some second and third glances at Greg this season because he looks good in a jumpsuit," she joked.
