why did jj leave criminal minds
EXCLUSIVE MONDAY 7:50PM: Heading to Season 6, CBS’ successful crime drama Criminal Minds is trimming the female portion of its cast for what I hear are financial reasons. [1]
It looks like all those letters, tweets, and petitions (sort of) paid off: Exiting Criminal Minds star A.J. Cook will be back this fall for a brief stint to tie up JJ’s storyline. [2]
I’m told the option of series regular A.J. Cook has not been picked up and co-star Paget Brewster is being made an offer to stay for only a reduced number of episodes next season, leaving fan favorite Kristen Vangsness as the only remaining full-time female cast member. [1]
Brewster, meanwhile, will be back as Prentiss for “a significant number of episodes,” says a Minds insider. [2]
In her last case, they were trying to convict a rapist but were unable to catch him because Elle panicked and apprehended the man and he got out on the fact that they had nothing on him. [3]
It’s a shame that “The Longest Night” marked a career high point for Jennifer Jereau, a character who just delivered so strongly, only to be shown the door next week. [4]

I hope they don’t make it too sad, or I will cry even days after. [6]
All the characters deserve more attention, more creativity, and less money managers meddling in creative decisions. [7]
We picked up right where we left off in May, with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit fighting the Darkness, literally and otherwise. [4]
Criminal Minds is one of the few network shows worth watching and it’s because we are invested in the entire ensemble cast. [7]
Not because I don’t like the character (I do, very much) but it would have been interesting to see how the rest of the team dealt with it. [6]

Additionally, a Minds source confirms that her costar Paget Brewster ‘ who has been ironing out a reduced-episode arrangement with the show ‘ has finalized a deal to return as well. [2]
I’ll be crying at school if they kill JJ. [6]
