"Billy is leaving," confirms the show's executive producer, Carol Mendelsohn. "But he will remain throughout the run of the series an executive producer. And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don't think you've seen the last of Gil Grissom."
Petersen added, "I'm in a great place in terms of knowing that I'll be more free to make choices. And I'm responsible enough to not do it in a way that would hurt [the show].
"I want it to work for the writers, I want it to work for the cast, and, most importantly, I want it to work for the audience," he added. "I don't want them to abandon the show."

First Sarah, then Warrick, now Grissom? How can the show survive when they get rid of all the GOOD characters in the show? Certainly Catherine & Nick & Jim & Greg can't carry it on all their own? And William says he can make it work? Damn! Where is he going with this?

When most of the main characters leave a show it is time to quit. In similar news on movie web Zach Braff is leaving Scrubs.

Well crap I should have seen this coming with a few other characters gone. Plus their bringing Sarah back even though a lot of fans where happy she's gone. I'm disappointed he'll off the show but at least his still going to be working behind the scenes.
