D’Onofrio, Erbe Back to “Law & Order: CI”: We Told You 2 Weeks Ago
The official news is out that “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” is coming back to USA Network with its original stars.
Yes, I told you on September 5th in this very column that Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe were on their way back. It’s too funny to read it in what I now call “Deadline Yesterday.”
The show went back into production a week ago.
Anyway, so it is, as the stars were booted from the show a season ago and replaced with Jeff Goldblum. But Goldblum did one season on his own and abruptly quit. The world of Dick Wolf has never been an easy one, that’s for sure. But it’s good to have two “L&O” shows still operating in New York.
The loser in all this is Eric Bogosian, whose character was killed off preemptively. It’s not known if anyone else from that original cast will return. A source tells me, “They kind of want to start over.”
Roger Friedman began his Showbiz411 column in April 2009 after 10 years with Fox News. Friedman previously wrote the Intelligencer column at New York Magazine, He writes for Parade magazine and has written for Details, Vogue, the New York Times, Post, and Daily News and many other publications. He is the writer and co-producer of a film about R&B Music called “Only the Strong Survive,” which was released by Miramax in 2003 and was a selection of the Cannes, Sundance, and Telluride Film festivals.

Yeah!! I love watching Goren and Eames. They make a great team. Like the comment above, Deakins would be a good come back also.

I am soooooooooooooo happy. Life is restored to normality. I love these guys. Surely they can get Bogossian back too! A storyline about how they faked his death?

I am so glad that Goren and Eames are coming back. I stopped watching the show when they left. Maybe they could bring back Deakins!

Zombie Criminal Intent. Hmmm…I’ll watch, but only if they get Erbe back too. Goren/Eames were the show!
