Megalyn Echikunwoke (Dr Tara Price) was last seen in the penultimate episode of Miami's seventh season, "Dissolved". The character was not mentioned in the season finale, and the actress was removed from the series' opening credits. Echikunwoke has landed a recurring role on the TNT series Raising the Bar, but there is no word about whether she will return to Miami. A spokesperson for the show teased, "On CSI: Miami, you never know when someone will return." (Source)
