William Peterson has toyed with the idea of leaving “CSI” before. He even took off for an entire mid-season. There have been rumors that when his contract expired this May, Grissom would be leaving Las Vegas. TVGuides Ausiello has the scoop on his return:

Sources confirm to me exclusively that William Petersen — whose pact with the show was set to expire in May — has agreed to stick around through the 2008-09 TV season. Although the specifics of his new deal were not disclosed, a CSI insider tells me it’s both lucrative (read: reportedly 600K per episode, up from 500K) and brimming with “out” clauses (read: the asterisk I spoke of earlier).

To me, it seems that Peterson is unhappy with some part of working on the show, but loves his job. He can’t seem to decide if he should stay or go. I for one hope he stays. Grissom is still my favorite character on CSI, and I don’t believe that Helgenberger can carry the lead. Am I alone in that thought?
