Marg's farewell party begins

The countdown is on.

And I don’t just mean the countdown to the beginning of 2012.

The countdown to Catherine Willows’ departure on CSI is holding at 2… at least for a couple weeks.

The countdown to the (hopefully) numerous stories about her departure is already underway.

We’ve already had one teary-eyed interview for ET (which you can find here)

Now, in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, we get another glimpse of the night that Marg filmed her last scene.



I just had to chuckle at the part where she was nursing the hangover. You’ve gotta love hearing about two of my favorite ladies shooting back the tequila. And where were the cameras for that? Darn. I’m just glad they included the photo of the Cath/Sara hug in this article.

I also had to chuckle a bit at George’s comment on what to think if the ratings really fall now that Marg leaves – “what does that say about the rest of us?” Well George, it basically says that the CSI Powers-that-be keep getting rid of the fun/popular people on the show (Liz Vassey, Louise Lombard, Scott Wilson, Geoffrey Rivas, etc) and replace them with characters who can’t measure up.

As for Marg’s favorite CSI episodes – all are great choices.
