That's a shame. Wish it was on his terms, but it was probably because they realised the extra character wasn't needed.

Someone on another forum said Damon confirmed on his Facebook page that he was let go from CM.
You have to be friends with him to see the post but the forum member shared the post: Quote:

This may have a lot to do with AJ wanting equal pay .. to pay her the had to , my guess,lose one cast member .. I just saw some tweets about this. Not to be mean or cruel i liked some of his character ,other parts not so much . When we lost Thomas they added two more cast members .Paget full time lead and dameon. to lose one person to pay kirsten and Aj i am all for it

It is worth it to keep them, it's just a shame that it has come to it.

His being let go is getting a lot of press . Yet it is a slow time of year for tv news . NCIS told Jennifer Esposito , she wasn't coming back for the next season .. she had also just started on that show..
Now how do they deal with him not on the team next season ? Do they kill him off in the opener . I.e. He doesn't survive the car crash .. ? Easiest way to remove him . __________________

Aj and kirsten have a deal and will return '
Deadlineholywood.com, ‘Criminal Minds’: Kirsten Vangsness & A.J. Cook Close Deals, Get Raises To Return by Nellie Andreeva June 14, 2017 9:00am EXCLUSIVE: Criminal Minds‘ two original female cast members are staying on. Kirsten Vangsness and A.J. Cook have closed new deals to continue on the long-running CBS drama series, which is headed into its 13th season. They join fellow Criminal Minds veterans Joe Mantegna and Matthew Gray Gubler who signed new contracts last month. Vangsness and Cook, who were negotiating together, had been seeking parity with fellow original cast member Gubler. I hear the two actresses have landed raises that put them essentially on par with him. The studios behind Criminal Minds, ABC Studios and CBS TV Studios, did not begin talks with Vangsness and Cook until after completing deals with Mantegna and Gubler. I hear Vangsness and Cook, who play fan-favorite Penelope and J.J. on the show, respectively, took a similar stand during the 2013 negotiations as the two had consistently been paid less than half of what their male counterparts, Gubler and Shemar Moore, were making at the time. Back then, Vangsness and Cook eventually reached new agreements, securing salary increases but not able to achieve parity. I hear this time they were willing to walk for the cause. CBS and the Criminal Minds producers had been taken to task on the treatment of female cast members in 2010 when they opted not to bring back Cook for Season 6 and to reduce the episodes of Brewster, leaving Vangsness as the only remaining full-time female cast member. The move led to an outcry from fans. Cook and Brewster subsequently were reinstated. __________________

Fantastic news And them being paid less than half than their male counterparts is just unacceptable, tbh, not surprised they were willing to walk.

Great news that AJ is back and ok for KV!
And great news that Damon is out. A COMPLETE MISS. Of all the new characters or the characters that stayed no more then three seasons, he was by far the most boring lifeless character on the show. it seemed like CBS shoved him on CM and now they shoved him out. Thats cruel and the writers didn't do him a favor with this character, it was awful. Its not Damons fault tho, on the contrary, they set him up to fail. And on the other hand, I am glad that we wont see Walker anymore. |

Paget's already signed on for season 13. Paget, Aisha, Adam and Damon were on different schedules than the other 4. Since Aisha was bumped to regular in season 12, Adam and Damon joined in season 12 and Paget came back in season 12, they probably signed contracts for season 12 with options for a season 13 or signed 2 year deals. So Paget is already signed.
Damon was told he was coming back. As far as I know, he already had a contract. But last week CBS reversed the decision and fired him. |
