Lynch Could Return To ‘Criminal Minds’, Plus Set Pics
9 min read
Criminal Minds cast, with guest stars
Filming for Criminal Minds’ eleventh season is well underway, and TV Guide revealed last week that fans might see the return of a familiar face this season. Jane Lynch has appeared as Dr Spencer Reid’s (Matthew Gray Gubler) mother Diana in five episodes, most recently in season four’s “Memoriam”. It has been nearly seven years since she was on the show, but that could change during season eleven. According to Executive Producer Erica Messer:
Now with Glee finished and [Lynch’s new show Angel From Hell] is on CBS … I don’t think that will be a problem. We absolutely want her back. I’ve talked to Matthew about it. We’ve got to find a reason to bring her back because I don’t want it to be unrealistic or just to have her. And we want to be able to use her well too.
Diana has schizophrenia, and the last viewers heard, she was doing well. However, Minds will need a dramatic reason to bring the character back, and they’ll have to wait for the right time. “But I think she’ll come back and play again,” Messer said.
CSI Files previously posted tweets and photos from the set of season eleven, and here’s another collection with more than 70 tweets, photos and videos shared by the cast and crew over the past two weeks. First, the photos and tweets:
