George Eads will take a leave of absence from the long-running drama after engaging in a heated exchange with one of the show's writers, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The actor, who has played Nick Stokes since the series premiered in , will appear in the first three episodes of CSI's upcoming 14th season. Producer CBS Television Studios declined to reveal a date for his return but said he would be back later this season. The actor signed on to return as a regular along with the rest of the cast when CBS renewed the series in March. His absence, sources say, is not considered an attempt to renegotiate his contract. Eads -- and co-star Jorja Fox -- were both briefly fired from CSI in after a short-lived salary standoff with the network and studio.
Instead, Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character, sources tell THR, and clashed with an eight-months-pregnant co-writer of a recent episode.
Word of the incident is said to have gotten back to showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and resulted in a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit. A rep for Eads declined to comment. Fox left and later returned to the show. Sources tell THR that Eads' absence will be addressed in the fourth episode of the season when Catherine Marg Helgenberger, who will reprise her role in the landmark th episode hand-picks his character to receive special training at Quantico. A simple altercation is a reason to be suspended?
Did the lady take it way too hard or something else more? Hasn't watch this for years. But what I've seen, GE has gained weight. He was in shape back then the show started. All they have to do is get aggressive with you, wait for you to respond even slightly, then turn on the water works. I've seen it happen so many times. Not with a pregnant woman, but same diff. Sounds more like they're gunning for him, or else he wants out of his contract.
This has to be CSI's last season - how much more can his character develop?? It's barely a cover up. It's the kind of thing put out there to purposely make people wonder what happened.
I think they gave up on character development several seasons ago. And his actions are probably based in a feeling of a lack of control as the show is coming to an end and he has slim to no options for work after that. He's just another middle aged guy fighting getting a paunch, not exactly leading man material anymore. This reeks of bullshit. What kind of character concern could possibly make an actor that mad?
This is a cover up for something else. Unless he punched her in the stomach I fail to see what her being pregnant had to do with anything. Hopefully they sent his lard ass off to a fat farm to slim down. He's turned beastly over the last couple of years. The obvious fact is this is the only thing that would warrant his being kicked off the show is some kind of physical violence. He would have to present a danger to someone or worse- for the execs— a very viable threat of a lawsuit.
If there was a physical altercation of some kind- it had to be something personal. Who knows what it actually was about. She probably threatened to sue him and she would have every damn right to if he assaulted her in any way shape or form. He's not big enough a start to get away with that kind of crap but they can't just fire him from the show right now. Maybe she called him a fat queen I vote for the Russell method -- from experience.
I doubt that you're in showbiz R33 Lives in his mothers basement and makes YouTube videos about his porcelain cat collection, and that is the extent of his involvement in show business. I work in Hollywood as well. Black gay dude and I don't hate women at all.
Straight white guys of a certain age shock me every week with their sexism though. He'll be sorry when he finds no other work during this enforced hiatus OR after the show leaves the air in the spring And they aren't honorable.
Please, he probably didn't want to sign up for her Pot Luck, and she's just angry enough to cry "rape". Wow, some of you are very simple-minded.
Certainly, it's unlikely that he's been suspended just for having a heated argument unless he did get violent, which is not impossible. It's more likely also because of the reason they were having such an aggressive argument and George was disagreeing not simply with the writer but with the entire production team, who decide the storylines and character development.
The article even says it: "Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character". And, "a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit". He's obviously getting too big for his boots and thinks he can get his own way through threatening.
Well, they called his bluff. So is Jorja Fox still not "out" then? Unlike him, at least she's a glass closet and has done all but say it. She was roommates with Vadge's dyke sister. Despite what everyone is saying, George did not get tossed over a fight with a pregnant writer. They wouldn't have taken a writer's side over on screen talent - there has to be a lot more going on.
This is probably just the last of a series of incidents. Isn't he on steroids or painkillers for his back injury also supposedly the reason he got fat? My money's on 'Roid Rage' Pain killers will make you feisty.
I went ape shit on a customer service woman over the phone one time while doped up on Vicodin for a bout of sciatica.
I was wondering if he was on some sort of steroid. I saw an episode for the first time in a long time and could not get past how big his face was. The weight gain in the face did not match the body. I also noticed the character seemed a lot different. He seemed really gruff and crotchety vs the more sensitive type he was earlier in the series. Yeah, his career is done once that show's over. As it will be for a good chunk of the remaining cast. Sad in some cases, but it is what it is.
You never want to be one of the folks who stays too long at the party. It's not like any of they will need to work again after this show ends. They're all set for life. They say that the writers have planned a 'forbidden relationship' for Nick and George didn't agree. From the homophobic TalkCSI board. They were going to pair him up with Eric. It hurt too much, hit a nerve, was just too close to home and he lost it. Actually, they were going to pair him up with me, but they told him he was gonna have to butch it up and grow his eyebrows back, so people didn't think I was dating a girl.
Not that anyone would think that, me being so femme and all R59 He was clearly good looking but gained a bit too much weight, a healthy diet and his good looks will return. He was never good-looking, he always had these weird jaws and bulging lower face. It's just broken out more now he's entered middle age and become bulkier. Did I hallucinate reading somewhere George got married a few months ago? Didn't take them long to replace him.
Almost as tho' they had someone in mind when they let him go.. So what? I suspect he is in the same spot a lot of long time cast members get to be on a show like this. They watch their prime years go by, holding on and holding on - probably being told that this would lead to something more - his own show, a movie career, something, anything if he just plays along with the game.
Add the closet to this and he's been pushed under by the Production Company for a while now. You're character is gonna die. GO home. I do hope it wasn't actually violent- that would be some serious bullshit but the way they're putting this out there is definitely a career killer. His character's fan base is populated by middle-aged hetero-fraus and house MOMs and this public statement was a blow straight to that core fanbase.
It might as well have been a mafia hit. And It wasn't even just for him but a warning anyone who argues with the bosses. OMG, his face was wider than it is long. So thick and fat. Poor dear's eating his frustrations, isn't he. Elderfraus don't care how big a man is!!! Fraus don't use maternity leave when they need it, R They save it for when they WANT it.
Time the pregnancy to fall around the right time of year and use your paid and unpaid leave in the right way and you might get to be out for a whole year and they HAVE to give you your job back afterwards.
I hope you get to know what it feels like to pull a bowling ball out of your anus some day. I wonder how much leave you would need? And back to the topic at hand I can't imagine what would have happened to get him suspended - look at all the crap CBS took from Charlie Sheen before he got tossed. Why would George care about 'character development'? At this point they have to be just riding it out to fill the bank account for the inevitable lack of offered when CSI ends like when Jorja left the show to pursue other interests and came slinking back.
No, R97, but it certainly undermines R91's implication that yearlong maternity leaves are common practice. I don't think he was putting the fans first when he and Jorja got greedy, went on strike and ended up getting canned. But R, I think Eads asked for a raise because he knew it would make the fans happy to know he was getting filthy rich. He was only thinking of the fans It's less sad if folks post and let us know what the scoop is.
So those who know the real scoop, you owe it to George to post here. Otherwise we will go, as a prior poster said ape shit on his ass. I'm hoping if George does come back, the wardrobe lady hands him a red shirt and the director sends him down a dark creepy basement on his own. I'd watch that one Maybe they hired Sherry in anticipation of Jorja having a 'heated argument with a writer' I used to like her, but that voice just drives me crazy, and not in a good way.
What's worse, the photo R posted was the best of the bunch. If you look at the rest from that shoot on wireimage.
Isn't he supposed to have someone who's paid to wrap bandages around his head when he looks like that and make up a fake car crash story? George Eads is apparently ready to let bygones by bygones. Also read: George Eads to be M. If you had not resurrected this thread r I never would have known of his return, and I read the NY papers and watch the evening entertainment news programs.
I guess George tried to find work elsewhere but ended u with nothing This is the minimum time needed for the body to heal. Family Medical Leave is available to men and women for a variety of reasons. Once your reason is validated you have up to 3 months of unpaid leave with the guaranty that your job will be held. So the most time an average woman gets after having a baby is 3 mos the same amount of time that the father can also ask for. Maybe she might take her 2 weeks of vacation at that time, but will prob ably save those to use when the baby is sick or has a well baby exam.
I watched the Sherri Stringfield episode. She looks pretty good but man is she a crappy actress. You know, when Jorja got her girlfriend a part on CSI at least she had some lines, not 'dead body encased in concrete in the garage'. I gotta say since George is back from his enforced hiatus, he looks hotter with that beard on his face.
He looks like he sat on an air hose. I know he's admired by most viewers but I wish the producers through him under the bus years ago, but apparently viewers love this guy.
Fat or skinny I could really care less. It's great to see a series where people reflect the population and don't all look like fashion models. The Brits to a great job with this but no the USA. Fat or skinny, I find Eads to be talentless and if anyone should be surprised by his success it should be himself. Oh well I wish him luck with his struggle with cigarettes and weight. You're correct. I was watching and my first thought was, if he was a woman there would be segments on TV about his weight, but as a man, almost nothing.
I don't really care why the weight gain; your point is that not many others care, or are trying to explain it. And yes, he is still a handsome man. Like lots of women how were emaciated and have gained weight.
Sometimes sexism is really clear. And depressing. Post a Comment. The following blog down below is a year old. I have not watched a new CSI episode since November. White trainers, black trousers, orange shirt? Survey says, UH-UH!! Warrick: Why? Greg: No. Grissom: You ran a DNA profile and something very distinctive popped up? Greg: Not quite. Warrick: You made it out of bed and you dressed yourself?
Boom is right! The budget has gone crazy in this ep and we have a real super bona fide explosion… or several. The episode kicks off with a bomb exploding in a big office block, killing a security guard and landing Warrick, Catherine and Sara with a massive great jigsaw puzzle as they try to work out what happened.
Grissom, meanwhile, is spending time with suspect numero uno. There he goes Grissom's no. Now he has only his bajillion clocks for company. After a few drinks with an old uni pal, he turns down the chance of a night chasing these babes. The very embodiment of 'What happens in Vegas'. Face of regretting I ever let it out my pants.
One moment of realisation later. Let's examine the evidence one more time, shall we? So the main plot of this episode — the one that opens the show — is about a guy murdering women and keeping them in his refrigerated truck. Is that just me? Something about the eyes. Sara: Hard to miss all that high-tech computer equipment. Surely the only thing that Gil Grissom and David Brent have in common. In Nick news, he is getting all hot under the collar as Kristy the prostitute from episode 1 resurfaces.
