Criminal Minds Paget Brewster News MAJOR SPOILER!


From AJ Cook:

AJ Cook
Heading back to Criminal Minds for @ final episode. @ is directing. It's going to be GOOD/WEIRD/SAD!!!


So, it is official now, Paget Brewster who play Emily Prentiss on Criminal Minds is leaving. We at Criminal Minds Roundtable are sadden by this news. We fought, with thousand and thousand of Criminal Minds fans to keep not just Paget but AJ too on our favorite TV show but unfortunately, CBS and the Criminal Minds producers have decided to go ahead and let go of AJ and now Paget.

We will all miss Paget as we miss AJ Cook, Criminal Minds will not be the same without those two talented actresses.

We are opening a thread on the CMRT blog so you can speak your mind, we just ask you to remain polite and respectful.

Thank you.

Criminal Minds Exclusive: A.J. Cook Returns! SPOILER!



By: Michael Ausiello

If you spot a Criminal Minds fan doing cartwheels this morning, here’s why: A.J. Cook is heading back to the BAU!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the beloved Minds‘ alum — whose exit this fall triggered a sizeable viewer backlash — will reprise her role as Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau for one episode this spring.

When last seen, J.J. reluctantly left the BAU to take a job at the Pentagon. It’s not clear what prompts her return or when her episode will air, but I’m told Cook is due back on set this week.

When news broke over the summer that Cook’s contract option was not being picked up by CBS, fans mounted a massive online campaign demanding the network reconsider. What resulted was a compromise: The actress returned for two episodes to tie up her character’s story and give viewers closure.

Might J.J.’s comeback be tied to the looming exit of costar Paget Brewster (Prentiss)? Speculate away in the comments!
