This post is open for talk about the possibility of Jorja showing up in the season finale of CSI. Please note, this post is for spoilers, speculation and hearsay. If anything substantive is made public, I'll let you know.
Here are the details as they have been made known. Please remember, NONE of this is verified. Emailing JFO asking for details will not endear you to anyone. We do not keep secrets.
- TV Guide listed Jorja as appearing in the finale (see here)
- Jorja was spotted leaving the sound stages a few weeks ago
TV.com and IMdB are both fan updated sites, so their information cannot be used as confirmation. If you hear something, please post it here with a link or some sort of evidence. 'A friend says...' doesn't count either, guys.
I am contacting my friends in the biz, and thus far have heard nothing.





CBS has the episode release out and it does not include Jorja.
CBS Press Release
Hope the link works like it does on LJ.
I would be very surprised if she did show up this season...
Yeah, I will be pretty shocked if she shows up. I admit, anything can happen, but still.
No sign of Jorja, but she wasn't listed in Dead Doll, IIRC

Until it's over, I am keeping the faith.
I'm with PiperGrissom. Sure, we won't know until we see, but I'm gonna have faith. Of course, I'll be sitting there that whole hour tingling with anticipation, but it'll be worth it. The episode looks good anyway.
Nah, at this point she'll be back for sweeps in S9 (November, I hope). There's no way they're gonna let Jorja's surprise cameo steal attention from Warrick's departure...
I'd be happy to be wrong, still...
Oh I agree it's possible, but I also feel it's unlikely she will return for S8. Many people have outright said 'She's not coming back this season.' Now, Jorja hasn't said anything, and we all know she's a terrible liar, but also no one's asked her. Jorja says she will be back, just not when.
I'm keeping my ear to the ground.
I'll take her whenever we can get her. I agree that it could be a surprise - they didn't have her listed on Dead Doll as has been previously stated. I think it'd be cool to end with a cameo by her, but she's staying busy so who knows.
Actually, Jorja did tell that one reporter that she wouldn't be back this season. But we'll see when we see.
Sources say ... that set siting of a couple weeks ago was when they were filming the Burma video. Sorry.
OMG! I know what's gonna happen! GSR gonna break up if Sara will return for this ep!


Jorja herself said that theres gonna be just a MOMENT where she'll show up!!! And we have whole season 9 in front and she wont be in it!!!!! OMG! They gonna break up
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I want Jorja back for good! And see Sara happy with Grissom!!! They both deserved that so much!
Kristina, that's not going to happen. There's no GSR in this episode unless they did some serious re-writes. This is all Warrick. No Sara in the script, and the purported set-sighting was when she was filming the Burma PSA, so it's more likely that's what it was.
Oh really... well that makes me feel better!
Besides, she never said that she'd be back "for a moment" (although anything's possible). She actually said (thanks to the transcript of that interview posted here on JFO
): "And I will be, there will be a moment...I will return. I can't tell you when, or why or how..[...]".
Don't panic, kristina, there's no reason
I am also keeping the faith that there is a good possibility that Jorja will be in the final episode. I would like to think that TV Guide would not be that cruel in listing her on the May 15 finale if it wasn't true. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Maybe it was just a mistake on TvGuide's part
Its definatly been weird without the Sara Grissom romance. I have missed it incredibly!
I think she'll return or Grissom will leave to be with her.(Retire maybe)
The phone call when Grissom was at home must of been Sara this shows they are still on good terms?
Sara is coming back!
at lest thats what i always says to myself whenever i feel down watching CSI though it was all re-runs...
but sometime's it really gets me...no sara anymore...and the writers dont even show it to grissom's lines..hmp!
thank god warrick is done. the guy was really irritating. the next season will be really cool though... can't wait..
I was sad that Warrick was killed...Maybe he has his stuggles but to kill him...Duh !!!!
*cough* I was at Eddie Izzard last night, so I've yet to see the episode. That said, I read it and told my SO. She says 'Maybe Jorja'll come for the funeral?' And alas, I replied, 'She didn't make it to mark Greene's on ER because CBS wouldn't let her be on NBC. Maybe she won't show up just to stick it to Les Moonves.'
