CSI:NY Casts Charmed Actor

CSI:NY has cast James Read to appear as Lindsay Monroe Messer's (Anna Belknap) father.  He will play Robert Monroe and will star in the eighth episode of season 9.  As reports TV Line.  Lindsay will apparently go home to Montana and there she will come across yet more ghosts from her past, as she deals with more angst.  Probably from teen years again and the aftermath of witnessing the killings of her friends.

Oh not another Lindsay-focused episode, groan.  Sure there's a lot more they can do instead of brining up Montana and her past.  Oh no, don't get me started on those cow comments from earlier seasons either!  Re the cows are returning home to Montana.  Not to mention Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) doesn't call her 'Montana' anymore, that was shortlived if it was meant to be his pet name for her.  I know season 9 is meant to be more personal-stories-orientated but the emphasis should be or one of the other characters.  So when do we get to see more about Adam (AJ Buckley) or even Danny himself.  I know people get excited about Lindsay but not me.

James Read as you will recall played Victor Bennett, father of the Charmed ones on Charmed.  As well as being in season 1 of Remington Steele as Murphy Michaels, who had a thing for Laura Holt before Rem arrived on the scene, oh getting carried away there with one of my fave shows.  As well as Civil war drama, North and South.
