Criminal Minds - Kate Callahan ▴ JLH #2: Our tough newbie soon to be adding a new baby to her family! - Page 5

I've taken her as a brat....I mean her aunt and uncle took her in,she should be very grateful for that but she thinks they are going to drop her like a hot potato when the baby comes. But I get where she is coming from. Even though her parents died and didn't just leave her on their own devices, there is still the feeling of abandonment there and with the new baby coming it is probably growing and making her feel distrust.....but still, you would think that she would know better, she is older and understands about when babies come and such (I mean I bet her friends have older/younger siblings....).

She is playing a normal teenager . I guess she is like 15 . Since her story is her parents died on 9/11 . Her first scene with Kate she was happy and loving .. I wonder if Kate will have her TV baby buy seasons end ? Even though Jennifer hasn't ..

ROFL! I got the funniest plot come into my head when I read that. Since she is barely showing....what if they took JJ down the "I didn't know I was pregnant" road and she goes into labor during a case.

I can just picture Reid's face as he would probably be the one they would turn to to deliver.

Though....never know, that might be the route they go for Kate.

Maybe at the end of the episode, Kate just says: "Ok, I'm in labor now..."

AGREED.

anything with a teenage girl as far as being jealous of a new baby in the house is normal.

Spoiler:

Just saying and with JLH leaving we wont how her family is doing next season \. Meg could have been the who looks after her little borther /sister .. If the family was coming back .

Just a FYI if that happend it could be the most awkward delivery on TV ever. anyway so be it ..

Spoiler:

She was in one episode in Ghost Whisperer.
She appeared in Ghost Whisperer: The other side like 8-9 times, this is a spin-off or something, JLH wasn't been on GW: The other side at all.

Logan · 04-24-2015, 11:56 AM

didnt know there was a spin off series ..Oh i see it was a online series ..

Logan · 04-30-2015, 08:58 PM

Gave Kate better clothes to make her look more comfortable . She keeps her face the same

EW.com article on Jennifer

Jennifer Love Hewitt not returning for 'Criminal Minds' season 11 | EW.com

Tv guide.com see JLH /kate would have returned if not pregnant .

Quote:

Is it safe to say Kate would've stayed had Jennifer not been pregnant?
Messer: Yeah, definitely. She'd still be here.

You're like the anti-Game of Thrones. You always leave the door open for a return. Messer: [Laughs] You know how we are here. We like people to come back and play whenever they can, so we don't kill them off. Like you said, if she hadn't been pregnant and due right when we would start production on Season 11 -- that's the other thing, she's due in July and we start production right in July -- then she would've come back. It was really something that was organic and surprising in a good way. None of us thought at the beginning of the season we'd end the year with two pregnant actresses! And right now, it's too soon to say what would happen in two years if we're lucky enough to have [a Season 12]. We would love to have her back.

Even if you didn't plan it from the beginning, it was fitting how her arc came full circle. We found out about her and Meg at the start of the season and you had a season-long unsub story line with Meg, and now that's over and she's leaving onscreen and off to focus on her family.

Messer: Yeah, I think it's always interesting how those things come together. We always knew the finale was about Meg being in trouble. That's one of the reasons we set up Kate raising a teenage daughter and what are the challenges of raising a teen as an FBI agent. That's something we haven't seen Hotch or JJ deal with yet. Rossi, we didn't know he had a daughter until this season. We wanted to play it over the season and with the dangers of social media and the anonymity of the Internet. We've all been passionate about it. Jim Clemente is our FBI consultant and co-wrote the episode and has taught plenty seminars across the country about e-acquaintances and the danger in that. Kate has all of this knowledge and she has shared a lot of it with Meg.

How important was it to show how much Kate has taught her? I like that Meg wasn't a helpless victim.

Messer: That was something we definitely wanted to do. Meg has a tragic story. She already knows that life isn't what it's you think it's gonna be or how you think it'll turn out to be. There's always been an open and honest relationship between Kate and Meg ... and you saw that she really took everything Kate taught her to heart. We wanted to show Meg was smart as well. She was keeping her cool. It was a reflection of Kate and her strengths as a mom and an FBI agent.

Finale preview: Scoop on your favorite shows
I know it's too early to say, but are you planning to replace Kate or do you want to keep the position open for the time being? You've had a lot of cast turnover in the last few years and A.J. [Cook] will be going on maternity leave again next year.
Messer: Yeah, exactly, you're pretty much hitting it right on the head. As usual, it's a discussion with lots of people. Right now, we're leaning towards keeping that position open but maybe having fun with some guest stars, things like that, especially with A.J. having maternity leave early in the season.

Jordan Todd! Bring her back.

Messer: Yeah! That would be cool. A lot of people liked her. That's definitely a possibility. I feel like when you look at 10 years of people we could bring back, it would be fun to be able to do that. We know the BAU is a lot bigger than just our heroes.
Everyone's gonna want Prentiss back.

Messer: [Laughs] I know! That would be fun. We haven't seen her since "200," so it might be time to check in with her again.

Obviously it wasn't planned from the beginning, but did you like showing Kate's and JJ's different options of being a working mom?
Messer: Definitely. A.J. told me [she was pregnant] right after Jennifer did, and we all couldn't believe it. Battle of the baby bumps! But I think with the way we played it, it's such a reflection of what happens in the real world. Any time we can write things like that, I think it's great because it's real.

Logan · 05-09-2015, 07:35 AM
