Claire Forlani joins the CSI:NY cast

CLAIRE FORLANI JOINS "CSI: NY" IN A RECURRING ROLE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10 --
Claire Forlani joins the cast of CSI: NY in a recurring role as the CSI team's new medical examiner, who also happens to be in a relationship with Det. Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise). She makes her first appearance in the series' third season premiere, titled "People with Money," to be broadcast Wednesday, Sept. 20 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Forlani plays Dr. Peyton Driscoll, the team's beautiful and sharp new coroner who is from London and completed her education in America. She began her career in the New York Crime Lab as a medical examiner where she worked alongside Dr. Hawkes (Hill Harper) for two years, during which time she also worked frequently with Det. Mac Taylor. Although they never dated then, there was definite chemistry between them and, after a chance encounter a year ago, the two began dating. Dr. Driscoll detoured into the private sector to teach anatomy at a prominent university and, after finding academia too safe, decided to return to the medical examiner's office. As she and Det. Taylor begin working together again, Mac quickly realizes that dating someone he works with may be a unique challenge as he tries to figure out the professional and personal connotations of his private and public lives intersecting.
Cool. I like Claire Forlani (except for all the squinting that she does).

... but it sounds like they are taking a page from CSI:LV and the whole Grisom/Sara thing only this time they are implying the chemistry between Mac/Peyton unlike what we've watched happen over the year with the other couple.

Could be interesting.

Yeah. I gave that show a year. I did nothing for me, so I dumped it. Plus, it conflicted with way to many other Tivo'd shows. I like Forlani, though.

I think they will each go off the air in the reverse order of when they started
Starting with
NY then
Miami and last
Vegas

Doubt it will go off anytime soon. Vegas and Miama are consistently two of the highest watched weekly shows.

Plus, Miami looks stunning in HD!

NY on the other hand, I can do without. (Even with Forlani)

I'll watch this show every now and then -- sounds like a good addition to the cast.

That's funny because this is exactly what I notice about her too. It seems that she thinks a good acting requires heavy amount of squinting. The more she squint the more is likely for her to get nominated.

For some reason, I thought Counterstrike became a show.

... and I haven't seen her in anything since she did "The Medallion" with Jackie Chan.

I'm quite fond of CSI: NY and this is great news, given that I'm also fond of Ms. Forlani.
