It's no surprise to most people, but Jorja Fox has let it be officially known that she's leaving the hit drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
a
There's been a ton of websites rallying to try to get CBS (CBS-A) to return the actress to the series, but it was her personal choice, and nobody else's. A lot of people are talking like it was 2004, where Fox and fellow actor George Eads were fired during contract negotiations, but that's not the case this time.

As Fox said, "There are all these things I want to do. Some are personal. Some are professional. And I really need to do some of them before I get too old. If I thought the show were on its last legs, I would have tried harder to stay the course. But I feel like its going to be around for a while, so if I don’t want some of those dreams to pass me by. I have to get off the ride for a while."

Fox has finished her part in filming the series, and will make her last appearance in her role as Sara Sidle sometime in a November episode.

She added in an interview, that her onscreen relationship with Grissom, played by William Peterson, won't be completely resolved; seemingly a hint they won't be married on the show.

I am not a Fox fan, but her being gone will change the tone for a while.
CSI is probable the best show on TV. And I know this is going to cause a lot of flack but, I will not miss Sara. The romance between her and Gil put limitations on what could happen
