The show’s producers won’t say whether Helgenberger will get her wish to let Catherine flash more than just her badge (“I’d like to be girly on this show…When I interrogate someone, I don’t have to wear pants!”). Should there ever come a day when he gets to shoot a make-out scene with her, he says smoothly, “I’d make sure I came to work early that day.” “A lot of people want to see it and a lot are jealous of my character,” says Dourdan, who goes to the same gym as Helgenberger and is constantly besieged by men with crushes on his red-tressed costar. But Helgenberger says the writers may be working on an episode where the two connect “in a much more intimate way,” She’s hoping they’ll “stirs things up” for the would-be couple. This detective duo have flirted on and off for years, yet their courtship seemed to hit a dead end earlier this season when Warrick revealed he’d just gotten married. Whether it’s romantically, with her father, with a crime, whatever.” Which could include a little private investigation with Dourdan’s Warrick Brown. You don’t mess with her.” In fact, Helgenberger seems pretty certain that she’d like to see the sexy but severe Catherine getting “a little out of control. Says CSI costar Gary Dourdan, “Marg is a lot stronger than she lets on. Not everyone who knows Helgenberger agrees. Whereas as Marg, I sometimes feel intimidated or don’t know what to say.” When it comes to certain situations, I become shy. “She’s pretty tough, pretty straightforward. “There are certain aspects of Catherine that I still hope to achieve in my life,” she says, laughing.

I just wonder how to deal with without always turning into the bad cop.” You have to be smarter than them, and that’s not easy. “He’s got a strong will and he’s smart, a typical boy. “It’s always been a struggle with the two of us,” Helgenberger says. It’s a task that can be even more depressing than cleaning up after a multiple homicide. But the actress does have her share of angst at home, most of it involving the homework of her 15-year-old son, Hugh.

Helgenberger’s own personal life isn’t as complicated as Catherine’s – “Thank God my relationship with my real parents is not like that,” she says.

It just may happen, since Rambo admits they’d “love to have his sleazy lawyer come back and complicate Catherine’s life again.” She’s eager to have her husband, actor Alan Rosenberg, return for a second stint as a public defender with a dangerous attraction to Catherine. With CSI focusing on her TV relations, Helgenberger says she’d be excited about her real family getting involved in the show. She regularly pushes the producers to write stories focusing on the parents, and since there already was a planned story line evoking Rat Pak-era Las Vegas – “the world of Catherine’s parents,” says David Rambo, who penned the script – it created the perfect opportunity to bring Catherine’s family together.” Why the sudden interest in Catherine’s family history? It turns out Helgenberger was instrumental in getting the episode on the air. Things get even weirder when this showdown with her dangerous dad leads Catherine to realize “she really is her father’s daughter.” Executive producer Carol Mendelsohn promises that the murder investigation will take Catherine “much closer to home than she’d ever suspect” and that “there will be a big revelation about her parents.” “And he wasn’t very good to her mother when they were an item,” Helgenberger says. I find out she and my father have been seeing each other behind my back.”Ĭonsidering that Catherine is aware of her father’s mob-related past, she’s not very happy to learn about the relationship.

“Then my mother drops by to visit me at the lab and wants information. She come sup with evidence that “leads me to my father as a suspect,” says Helgenberger, whose character didn’t know her real dad (played by Scott Wilson) until just a few years ago. In this week’s episode, after a murder during a party at the home of a formerly famous Las Vegas singer/diva (the appropriately cast Faye Dunaway), Catherine scours the crime scene. So it shouldn’t be too surprising that when the parents of sultry crime-scene investigator Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) show up together for the first time on ‘CSI,’ this family reunion is as dark and deadly as everything else on TV’s hottest crime show.
