CRIMINAL MINDS: AJ COOK ON LAW & ORDER: SVU

Criminal Minds: If you were one of the nearly 55,000 fans to sign an on-line petition to get axed Criminal Minds actress A.J. Cook and her character, Jennifer Jareau, back on the CBS procedural, there's finally some good news for you. While the actress will not be returning to her former series, she has been hired by NBC to play opposite Jeremy Irons in a highly anticipated 2011 episode of Law & Order: SVU.

SVU executive producer Neal Baer, who himself will be jumping from NBC to a lucrative new development deal at CBS following the completion of this season, tells me the episode should be a real treat for A.J.'s loyal fans. "A lot of people love A.J.," he says. "So we asked, 'How about coming and starring opposite Jeremy Irons?'"

A.J. will play OBGYN Debbie Shields, the lesbian lover of the daughter of Jeremy Irons' character, Cap Jackson, a sex therapist who works at a rehab center. While A.J. was solving crimes on her previous show, her character this time will be the victim. Says Baer: "Her character is brutally attacked."

CRIMINAL MINDS: RACHEL NICHOLS & PAGET BREWSTER

Criminal Minds: Reprinted from Deadline Hollywood. Rachel Nichols is in negotiations to join the cast of CBS' Criminal Minds as a series regular, the show's first new regular addition since Joe Mantegna took over for Mandy Patinkin in 2007. Nicholson was originally tapped for a 3-episode arc, which will begin airing next week. CBS had said it would add a new female regular cast member this season following the departure of original co-star A.J. Cook. The character Alias alumna Nichols will play, FBI cadet Ashley Seaver, had been originally listed as a new regular but was eventually scaled back to 3 episodes. Seaver will first join the Behavior Analysis Unit when she is invited by Agent Hotch (Thomas Gibson) to consult on a case after learning her family history will bring a unique insight into the mind of a serial killer.

Meanwhile, I hear Paget Brewster has been asked to return to a status of a full-fledged regular on the show but will weigh pilot offers. Following the cast upheaval on the veteran CBS crime drama over the summer, Brewster was offered to return to the show this season as a regular but in reduced capacity, appearing in about 17 of the series' 22 episodes. As part of the new deal she signed, Brewster was given a "pilot out," meaning she could do a pilot for a new series while on Minds this season. Brewster has appeared in all 9 episodes of the CBS drama that have aired so far, and the network recently proposed a return to the original agreement. Brewster opted to adhere to her amended contract and take advantage of the option that allows her to do a pilot.

CRIMINAL MINDS: CONGRATS TO THOMAS GIBSON

Criminal Minds: Congrats to Thomas Gibson! Well deserved!

-Quick! What do American Idol graduate Allison Iraheta, So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley, Sons of Anarchy star Katey Sagal, The Vampire Diaries hottie Paul Wesley, Fringe scene-stealer John Noble, and House sidekick Robert Sean Leonard have in common? Aside from the fact that their copious talents don’t get as much recognition as they should, the sextet of entertainers all share the distinction of having been steamrolled by Thomas Gibson, star of CBS’ chilling procedural Criminal Minds, in EW.com’s Under-appreciated Entertainer of the Year bracket tournament.
Yes, folks, after a month of intense voting, fanbase lobbying, and crushed dreams, Gibson stands alone at the end of a competition that began with 64 players under-appreciated by the world, but beloved among EW readers. As the No. 8 seed in the TV bracket, EW’s team of editors clearly underestimated Gibson’s chances, but the dashing underdog could not be stopped. “Thomas Gibson IS Criminal Minds,” wrote a reader named GS. “The last couple of seasons he has done AMAZING work with the storylines he’s been given, and the show in general gets no respect. It has tons of fans but never gets recognized. That is the definition of underappreciated in my book.” Gibson’s final-round win against teenage rocker Iraheta (the No. 2 seed in the Music division) wasn’t even close, as his fans propelled him to a nifty 66.8 percent of the vote.

Criminal Minds spoiler thread for "Middle Man" written by Rick Dunkle and starring Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler and Kirsten Vangsness.

**Beware! Comments will contain spoilers.

CRIMINAL MINDS RATINGS FOR "MIDDLE MAN"

Criminal Minds ratings for "Middle Man" starring Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler and Kirsten Vangsness.

CBS won the night with both adults 18-49 and total viewers and it was up, up and up as Survivor, Criminal Minds and The Defenders all were higher than last week. The Defenders 0.2 rise to a 2.3 rating with adults 18-49 still will keep it at CBS’s lowest-rated scripted show not airing on Friday. That won’t stop the cries of “but it won its time slot!” but winning its time slot won’t likely save it for next season.

ABC was second with adults 18-49 as The Middle and Better With You were flat vs. last week’s finals, but Modern Family and Cougar Town both dropped 0.3 with adults 18-49 vs. last week’s Halloween-fueled episodes which garnered higher than normal ratings. Modern Family still topped the night with adults 18-49 though and the In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts special fared 0.8 better than last week’s The Whole Truth, pulling a 1.9 with adults 18-49.

Undercovers, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: LA were all down from their last original episodes (two weeks ago for the L&O’s) tumbling to season lows. SVU fell 0.6 to a 2.1 rating with adults 18-49 and Law & Order: LA was down 0.5 to a 1.9 with adults 18-49, tying its season low. Undercovers fell to a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49, a season (and series) low.

"Rob plays the son of a movie actress from the '50s, and the poor kid is pretty twisted," he says. "He kidnaps these girls and dresses them up like '50s movie stars and then kills them. It's fantastic!" Gibson also talked about the arrival of guest star Rachel Nichols, who plays an FBI cadet starting in late November. "I don't want to give too much away, but she has a particular perspective that the team will find invaluable in a specific case." Though Gibson's stingy with the details, he will say that Nichols was not hired to replace former Minds' cast member A.J. Cook. "I don't think that anybody is intending for anyone to be her replacement. There's no replacing the character, and there's no replacing the actress," he says. "I think one of the things that we did in some of the subsequent episodes of her leaving was to play that it was hard to fill her shoes."

Guiding Light Alum Robert Newman Goes Primetime On Criminal Minds

One of Criminal Minds' dirtiest crimes yet is getting a good sudsing. Former Guiding Light icon Robert Newman — who played Josh to Kim Zimmer's Reva — guest stars Wednesday (9/8c, CBS) as a small-town Indiana sheriff who butts heads with the BAU team over the murder of three women and the abduction of a fourth.

"The victims are all strippers who vanish after work — it turns out they've been raped, killed and dumped in cornfields," reports Newman, hinting that his character — a hardnosed ex-Marine who still sports a buzz cut — "reveals some pretty surprising twists and turns." Especially when Hotch (Thomas Gibson) confronts the guy about a leak: Evidence suggests that someone in the sheriff's office is in league with the killers.

The grisly episode, which also features soap queen Melissa Claire Egan (the love-to-hate-her Annie on All My Children), seems to be a good omen for the East Coast-based Newman. The actor has given himself eight weeks to see if there's enough primetime interest in him in L.A. to warrant a move.

"It's an exploratory trip not only to see how I feel about the business but how I feel about moving back to my hometown," Newman says. "People assume that would be a great thing but, for me, a lot of emotional baggage comes with it." Does his popularity and notoriety on GL help him on auditions? "I never walk in any doors thinking people will say, 'Oh, my God! Josh Lewis! We want to hire you!'" says the 52-year-old star. "The truth is, nobody much cares about the soap. And that's a good thing. I've got age and experience but I'm considered a fresh commodity!"

Newman showed up in Hollywood looking rather bald — he'd just wrapped a stage stint as Daddy Warbucks in Annie — and so far it's working for him. "It's kind of made me a new type," he says. "The Criminal Minds people wanted me to cut it even shorter. It's good to have an excuse to do something extreme like this — otherwise people think you're going through a midlife crisis. Or dying."

The primetime gig has made him a hero with his daughter, Kendal. "She's a typical college female who is crazy in love with Matthew Gray Gubler [who plays genius special agent Spencer Reid]," says Newman, with a laugh. "I sent her some photos of the two of us on my iPhone, and Matthew sent her a pin he designed. My 28 years on Guiding Light didn't impress her. Now I'm suddenly cool!"
