> [@astro](#): > > Both are marginal actors in terms of actual acting talent. Sara’s “acting” is flat and wooden. Eads’ work is better, but it isn’t that much better. They may be comfortable eye candy props for the show, but as another poster indicated they can be replaced in a flash. **Astro** , I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. I think Jorja Fox embodies the character of Sara really well. She certainly isn’t the bestest ever actor I’ve ever seen. Don’t even know that she has bunches of range–doubt it actually. But I can’t imagine anyone else playing Sara. Moot point anyhow. I’m glad to hear she’s staying. ---

I’m glad to hear she’s staying. Agreed on all of that. Sara is Sara is Sara to me. I like her a lot, but even if or when she annoys me, she’s just being Sara, and she belongs at CSI. I feel almost as strongly about Nick. Good competition between Nick and Warrick and Nick and Sara…it’s not easy to find perfect chemistry – there is tension/chemistry/whatever among all 5 of the main 5, and it could not be the same - and I don’t think it’s likely to be nearly as good --without all of them. ---

Well, I think George Eads is some delicious eye candy, so I hope things work out for him. I never though Jorga Fox was that pretty though. I don’t understand where Sara’s drinking came in…I don’t think it was established that she ever had a problem with it, was it? ---

According to [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=529&e=3&u=/ap/20040724/ap_en_tv/tv_csi_fired_actors), Jorja Fox and George Eads both have been rehired for next season. Apparently, the producers played hardball, so they won’t be getting any raise. Pity. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > I don’t understand where Sara’s drinking came in…I don’t think it was established that she ever had a problem with it, was it? About Sara’s supposed drinking problem: In the final show of this last season, she was picked up for driving drunk, and Grissom went and picked her up at the poilce station. The arresting officer said something about giving her a “professional courtesy” which I took to mean they weren’t actually arresting her, maybe just letting her off with a warning. IIRC, that was it - the scene faded out on Grissom sitting down next to her in a waiting area. ---

Oh, I also meant to say, that’s the first we’ve ever seen that she drinks. I thought the whole thing was kinda out of left field. Is she still mooning over Grissom? ---

There was an earier episode in which she is popping cough drops like tic tacs and Brass catches on. He tells her about his younger days doing the same thing and that there are more problems than answers in the bottom of a bottle. He was being nice about it, another professional courtesy.
