The prayers of the fans have led to fruition. Those of you still unaware of the good news, Adam Rodriguez will be returning to CSI: Miami from the next season. The announcement came from his twitter page and was shortly confirmed by CBS.

This means that Rodriguez had a pretty appealing journey – his character’s destiny was dicey as the finale of Season seven left him relegated to recurring roles in various episodes after that. It seemed that their fates were sealed before the inclusion of Eddie Cibrian and Omar Miller in the standard cast. He even appeared in Ugly Betty – that show’s is seeing it’s end this year though.

Now, this means that we’ll know what happened to Delko and Calleigh, a fact which is rather will be an intriguing revelation because of their tryst a few weeks back. However, this is overshadowed by the question which is bound to rear its head: What will happen to everyone?

While the audience were complacent that Eddie would nicely slide into Delko’s shoes, his return is bound to incite a rivalry – not only for Calleigh’s affections, an obvious suggestion that has been floating since the beginning of the season itself. The question is whether the replacement which was taken without questions will maintain status quo given that the character being replaced has chosen to hang around longer. Will it cause a rift in the team?

Another possibility is to explore is Jesse’s back story – the fact that he follows a woman who fears for her life – a likely option given that Delko will resume his position and duties. However, there’s a distinct chance that one of the characters joins Dr. Loman as a recurring actor.
