I read about this in the local paper a couple of weeks ago, I believe it was just an AP article they copied for our entertainment section, but in it they also said that John Malkovich had been asked to be the replacement and turned it down. The article then went on to say they were not sure who was going to be coming on as a replacement and that Fishburn has been one of those asked but did not comment on if he had gotten the part or not.
Also Peterson is going to stick around in some sort of production role and also stated he would be more than willing to come back and work in a few episodes if his part was ever needed, I thought that this was cool, so it shows he just wanted out and wasn't forced out by the director or writing team.
The article said that in this coming season episode 10 would be the last episode with Grissom, but they were bringing his replacement in with episode 9 so that they would have interactions between the two of them before he leaves.
I don't know if I will watch very much with Gil gone, and I just don't like Larry for some reason, he was good in Matrix, but I just don't care for him or his style for whatever reason. I am indifferent to Warrick being gone, and it should add a nice story line for them to track down whoever is inside the department that may have played a part in his murder.
