TMZ is reporting that Gibson's job may be on the line and he could be fired from the show and written out.
I hope he doesn't get fired. That would be a huge blow to the show, especially now in it's 12th season.

I wonder if Hotch will meet a fate similar to Gideon.
Even though the show is a bit long in the tooth, I still enjoy it each week. Thomas Gibson was at least partially responsible for that. The show has survived cast turnover before, and even thrived in the wake of it. By my count that only leaves Garcia and Reid as the only original cast members left, right? I suppose they could bring back Prentiss and have her lead the team, or maybe the new shakeup would convince Shemar Moore to return sooner than he had originally wanted. Gary Sinise is an option, I suppose. Although I am not really a fan of his.

Most logical thing to do would be to try to convince Paget Brewster to stay on the remainder of the season. Her character would be the most qualified to take over as BAU chief. Prentiss is popular with the long time fans and I think it would be really difficult to try to cast an outsider right now.
Sucks for Gibson. This incident will be a black mark on his record and I'm sure he will be passed over for many future jobs since he allegedly has a temper and will be deemed difficult to work with. He can forget any future CBS pilots.

Wow. I am amazed CBS had the balls to fire him. Probably the right decision with an assault, but still. If they kill him off, his kid on the show is the unluckiest kid tv character ever. 
I gotta imagine this put the nail in the coffin of this show.
Jjcool: AJ Cook is an original cast member, but she left the show (involuntarily) but came back. I think Shemar Moore is done with show completely. Sounds like he wanted to do something else.

I just did a quick scan on Twitter and none of the cast is talking/reacting off the incident.
Only comment I saw was from Larry Teng who directed some episodes of the show:
Assaulting a colleague is grounds for immediate termination in any profession. CBS probably had no choice in the matter and had to do it. I did read on TMZ the Producer who reported him is kind of an aggressive personality who practices MMA. Supposedly he kind of pushed Gibson into it.
As for the show's ratings.
http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/cr...ratings-38269/
It averaged a little over 9M viewers and 1.8 last season. Still decent numbers for a 12 year old show. However, it barely gets renewed every year because it's so expensive to make now.

As to Shemar, I totally understand him wanting to move on. He's been on this show for over 10 years. He was on the Young and the Restless for over 10 years, he wants to do something new. I get it. From what I have read though, the writers wrote him off in a way that he could come back, and Shemar said he was open to coming back for guest appearances. Maybe Gibson getting fired may alter his plans. Who knows? I guess we will find out before too long what the showrunners decide to do.

Since the other show is still going, I doubt it. He might like the promotion to a more visible show, but CBS wouldn't allow it. He's about the only thing the other show has going for it.

From what I have read, a difficult relationship with Gibson was one of the reasons he left. All those scenes where they got along well? Acting.

AJ is by far my favorite actress on the show. I thought she was an original cast member, but with all the cast changes, and her leaving and coming back it really is tough to keep track. I checked teh cast list, and according to IMDB she was not in the first episode, but was in the second. I, of course, only checked the first episode cast list to see who was an original cast member.
She is my favorite, but apparently wasn't in the pilot episode.

Huge news
Paget Brewster returns fulltime as series regular
Nice. I kind of predicted a few posts back that would be the wisest move by CBS.

Not surprising, but it is welcome. She really grew on me. When she was first added to the cast, I hated her character. But now I like the character. I thought she was great on Grandfathered last season.

I wonder how much begging they had to do or how much money they gave her to have her back. As someone stated, I believe this may be the final season for this show.

She tried to leave the show to venture into comedy, but that hasn't quite worked out.
Season 12 is probably going to be the last season. I'm watching this until the very end, but I would honestly be really surprised if this comes back for a 13th season. The last several years have always been a last minute struggle to renew this show because it's going more and more expensive to make and CBS is paying most of the bill. ABC co-produces the show and apparently they are profiting the most from it.

Going to be interesting how they write out Gibson after next week.
Thomas Gibson had an interview with People magazine recently and explained the entire incident.

Here's the key excerpt:
If what he's saying is accurate, it sounds like the whole incident was blown way out of proportion.
Thomas Gibson had an interview with People magazine recently and explained the entire incident.
http://www.people.com/article/thomas...-criminal-mind
Here's the key excerpt:
Gibson says he was filming the second episode of the upcoming twelfth season of his hit CBS drama on July 26 when tensions flared between him and writer-producer Virgil Williams.
"We were shooting a scene late one night when I went to Virgil and told him there was a line that I thought contradicted an earlier line," says Gibson. "He said, 'Sorry, it's necessary, and I absolutely have to have it.' "
Frustrated, Gibson says he returned back to set and was sharing Williams' response with some of his castmates when Williams entered the room.
"He came into that room and started coming towards me. As he brushed past me, my foot came up and tapped him on the leg," Gibson recalls. "If I hadn't moved, he would have run into me. We had some choice words, for which I apologized the next day, and that was it. It was over. We shot the scene, I went home – and I never got to go back."

Well, to be fair, that's if he's being totally honest. I would want to hear an unbiased party but I doubt there's one in this case. And in fairness to Gibson, the producers behind this series are suspect given how they've treated the talent in the past, like Paget Brewster and AJ Cook.
