Paget Brewster’s Criminal Minds days may not be numbered after all.

The actress — who was expected to end her six-year run as BAU agent Emily Prentiss in the spring — has been asked to return as a full-fledged regular next season. But there’s a catch: Under the terms of her contract, Brewster has the freedom to attach herself to a pilot for fall — and she’s taking full advantage of that opportunity. (The alum of Andy Richter Controls the Universe is circling a number of comedy projects at Fox.)

Story-wise, Minds execs are keeping all their options open. We’re told the season will conclude with a cliffhanger that will allow producers to bring Prentiss back or write her off.

Incidentally, Brewster isn’t the only Minds cast member whose return to the show next season is uncertain. Deals for Thomas Gibson and Shemar Moore are up at the end of this season and the two are nowhere near new pacts.

Mandy Patinkin = Jason Gideon.

Oh, odd. I never heard or saw his real name. I know everyone else's.

Oh..............

I love Suspect Behavior.

I wish they would get rid of Jeanine Garfolio or whatever her name is. She has no acting talent or emotion. She is killing the show.

A must see video for Criminal Minds fans!

Another must see video for Criminal Minds fans. Let me know what you guys think.

I think Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior isn't going to last. It started with 13 million viewers for the first episode and dropped to 9 million for the second. I think it will definately increase viewers if they replaced Garfolio, not many people like her.

I agree.

I hope it does, I really do. I love Forrest Whittaker.

Also there wont be a new episode next week, it will be the week after. It will be the final appearance of SSA Emily Prentiss. JJ is coming back for the episode and it will be directed by Matthew Gray Gubler (Dr. Reid).

It look's really good eventhough it's going to be sad.

Suspect Behavior came up in the rating a little this week. It went from 9.81 million to 10.36 million viewers. Still not as high as it's 13.06 million viewers during the premier or the over 14 million viewers that the original Criminal Minds gets.

I was surprised to see the ratings spink on the original Criminal Minds this week, I think that may have contributed to Suspect Behaviors increase.

Gavin is actually a great actor, i'd like to see him in more roles. He's also a really luck man married to Gwen Steffani.

Comcast stole all my channels ... hopefully I can get a box soon so I don't miss anything.

You can always get them on DVD. The Sixth Season ends in may and im guessing it will be released on dvd in July.

Plus they only filmed 13 episodes of Suspect Behavior, im guessing so it ends the same time Minds does so im guessing that will be on DVD around the same time.

I hope the JJ coming back is perminant and not just a one episode deal.

You guys can goto www.cbs.com and click on feedback and leave a comment on the show. Maybe if there is enough people writing in they will bring her back. Ot worked when they first fired her, they brought her back for two episodes to explain her departure.

Is criminal minds on this week or is it next week?

The original Criminal Minds will be a re-run this week. Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior will be a new episode this week though.

The next new episode for the original Criminal Minds will be next Wednesday with a new episode of Suspect Behavior right after it.

I don't reccommend you miss it since it will be the last appearance of Emily Prentiss and JJ will be back for the episode.

I won't. my neighbor just got cable and we love that show.
