Food for thought... Could they have an episode with the guy that Reid saved back in season 1, the one with the prostitutes with their hair cut off. It would make for a good storyline like, was he able to get over his psycho impulses of killing "dirty women" or did he turn out to be one kind of serial killer who'd be a threat to the BAU since he already knows its members and has studied how they work? On the same note, would Reid be able to live with himself if the guy starts killing since he was the one who saved him from committing suicide in the first place. Wouldn't that be a nice and rather challenging story to make?

Criminal Minds Spoiler:
There’s much more to the story about Dr. Reid’s headaches…except you won’t find out until next season, according to EP Erica Messer. “That’s something that we’re talking to Matthew [Gray Gubler] about and the writers are all trying to figure out what stories we’ve dropped. Honestly, that storyline, that whole idea behind that, started before we lost A.J. [Cook] and Paget [Brewster]. There was a chance that we were fearing to lose Matthew just because of contract negotiations, and that storyline kind of got implanted and then never truly paid off in this season, but we want to sort of conclude that next season. That’s the plan.” Thank goodness the Gubler told me he’s all set for next season and exited about it. Can you imagine a Gube-less CM? Hells to the no! This team is magic!

Criminal Minds Spoiler:
Criminal Minds producer Erica Messer has confirmed that the show will explain Dr. Reid's headaches.
The character (played by Matthew Gray Gubler) has suffered from unexplained migranes throughout the show's sixth season, but Messer told Entertainment Weekly that Reid's illness will be explored properly in a potentital seventh season.
"Honestly, that storyline, that whole idea behind that started before we lost A.J. [Cook] and Paget [Brewster]," she explained. "There was [also] a chance that we were fearing to lose Matthew just because of contract negotiaions."
She continued: "That storyline kind of got implanted and then never truly paid off in this season, but we want to sort of conclude next season. That's the plan."
Criminal Minds star Thomas Gibson previously insisted that the show's future is secure, claiming that many viewers are still "connected" to the crime drama.
Criminal Minds continues on Wednesdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Yes, and in a big way, according to executive producer Erica Messer. "Strauss is always a bit of a mystery," she says. "Next season I'd like to show that she's actually human. She has issues like the rest of us. The team will see a new side of her."

Criminal Minds Spoiler:
The only thing that is worse than finding out you're fired is to find it out from reading it online. We know that Paget Brewster was returning to Criminal Minds and that Rachel Nichols was departing. But, nobody at CBS/ABC thought it was wise to tell Rachel Nichols about it. She found it out the same way the rest of us did-by reading about it online. Showrunner Erica Messer said that it was a hard decision, but never bothered to tell Nichols of the impending doom. That is nothing short of classless. The worst thing is that it looks like the character of Special Agent Ashley Seaver will just fade away with no logical explanation. There is so much left dangling with her character and there is no word if the writers have any plans on dealing with it. Even if Nichols was to return as a guest star in order to wrap up her storyline, the chances of that happening are very slim. This was only encouraged by the backstab she received about being cut from the show. Judging from some of the comments the Criminal Minds posts have received, many fans weren't happy with where things went with Brewster's character. And when CBS/ABC tried to fix it, Rachel Nichols only ends up being a band-aid, only to be taken off and thrown away when it is no longer useful.

So glad Paget Brewster will be back on Criminal Minds next season. But what does that mean for the Doyle story line? — Melissa
ADAM: Doyle will certainly be back, but probably not for long. "The only way Prentiss can return to us is if Ian Doyle is destroyed," executive producer Erica Messer tells us. "We all love Timothy V. Murphy and want him to have some screen time. But our challenge is to expand on their story and not repeat what [we've already] learned."

So happy Thomas Gibson will make the team whole again on Criminal Minds. What can you tell me about the new Season? -Regina

ADAM: The premiere picks up several months after the finale, with the team once again trying to prove its worth to the FBI brass, who wants to split it apart for budgetary reasons. "All of those threats that were made in the finale -that there might be changes and people might move on- have come true to some degree," executive producer Erica Messer says. "You'll learn who's been where and who's been doing what." Keep your eyes on Morgan in particular, as it's his summer investigations that will yield the discovery that Prentiss is still alive.

‘CRIMINAL MINDS’: BAU REACTS TO BOMBSHELL REVEAL
If you follow [Sandra Gonzalez] on Twitter, you know where I was yesterday. Not that I’m bragging — except I totally am. But while on set of Criminal Minds (aside from getting to talk to the entire amazing cast), I got to sit down with executive producer and showrunner Erica Messer and ask about the huge reactions we’ll see from the team as a result of the return of presumed-dead Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster).
“Because I’ve been with these guys from day one, we have a really good working relationship of the characters we’ve all created, so we had conversations,” she tells me. “I scripted it that everyone was going to have a huge reaction to her returning, but I’m not about to say, ‘Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) does this,’ ‘Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) does that.’ I only gave them words. Garcia says, ‘She’s alive.’ And Reid says, ‘But we buried her,’ because Garcia is very emotional and Reid is very logical.”
Messer said Morgan (Shemar Moore) will also struggle with the fact that he believes Hotch (Thomas Gibson) betrayed the team by telling them she was dead. And subsequently, Hotch “had to keep this secret from the team while they were pouring their hearts out. He’s burdened with that,” she says. “It’s a complicated tale. When secrets are kept, it’s natural to be complicated.”

Criminal Minds Spoiler:
Criminal Minds | With Paget Brewster rightfully restored to the cast, the first order of business this season is “resurrecting” Prentiss, whose death was faked so that she could evade arch nemesis Ian Doyle. “The first episode [airing Sept. 21] is about how I have to come back,” Brewster previewed for me, “and people are surprised.” Well, not everyone. After all, both J.J. and Hotch were in on the ruse. As for those left out of the circle of trust, “Some of the gang are peeved,” says Kirsten Vangsness, “but I’m just like, ‘Whee!’ Garcia is happy.” Still, it sounds like Reid, Rossi and/or Morgan might feel snubbed. As A.J. Cook teased (quite dramatically, bless her): “Relationships will unravel!”

"For better or worse, it was Hotch's call to handle the situation the way it was handle," Thomas Gibson tells us. "His attitude is, 'I made the best decision under the circumstances.' It was either worry about the feelings of the rest of the team or save Prentiss' life. He doesn't have a problem with it."

    3) Related to above: "Charles S. Dutton will appear... as a boxing trainer who learns that his star pupil is actually a violent serial killer." Obviously this means that Shawn Hatosy is the Unsub for that episode.
