Jessica Lucas Joins the Cast of CSI
This just in:
Jessica Lucas has just signed on to become a reoccurring character on CBS’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will play a CSI in training.
Lucas’ character is named Veronica Lake, but people call her Ronnie. She is a young, vivacious, smart newbie who gets multiple job offers. She chooses Las Vegas because of the increase in crime rates there.
It is understood that Veronica is designed as a new addition to the team, not a replacement for Sara Sidle, who was left crushed under a car with her hand barely moving in the Season 7 finale. Lucas is joining the series this fall.
That should be a relief to all the Sara fans concerned that the new cast member was set to replace Sara. Interesting to note that the character’s name has been changed from Vivian Leigh as first intended.
