Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) might be back in the dating game.

Mac's relationship with Peyton Driscoll (Claire Forlani) began in the season three premiere ("People With Money") and ended earlier this season when she sent him a letter at the end of "Time's Up". Peyton may be out of the picture, but Mac isn't throwing in the towel just yet. It seems that he may have another relationship lurking around the corner.

Ausiello revealed that Nip/Tuck actress Jessalyn Gilsig will be joining CSI: New York in a recurring role. Gilsig's character is a potential love interest for Mac, and Ausiello hinted that she could return next season. For now, she is set to appear in at least three episodes.

According to spoilers for the upcoming episode "DOA for a Day", it seems that Gilsig will be playing Jillian Gates, the Mayor's Criminal Justice Coordinator. Jillian comes into the story when Mac contacts her about a missing persons report she filed. The two characters met a year ago, and Mac helped Jillian out when her ex-husband began stalking her. She returned the favor by helping him get the lab back in order after the explosion in "Snow Day".

The original news is from the Ausiello Report. A spoiler report for "DOA for a Day" can be read here. Keep in mind that spoilers are subject to change.
