Anna Belknap Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 03:53 PM EST

Hey Guys Thanks For The Coment Its Reaily Sweet Of You All Im Glad You All Like The Show Season 6 Is Coming Soon Loads Of Fun Stuff Coming

sfsdfdfhtgu Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 10:43 AM EST

i think that they make a lovely couple and would make great mom and dads when there baby arrives they may work together but doesn't mean everything is the same at home but they will love there baby i just know it.

Jen Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 01:01 AM EST

I hope the show doesn't change much.That's something else I think is freaking everyone out is this baby storyline(good job to the producers)and the person being killed off.Once we all know whats going to happen we can relax.Just be patient. Also to the people who say its just about Mac and Stella well the people playing them are the big stars so of course you see them more its just like on CSI:Miami its David Carsuo and used to be William Pettersen on CSI.It's like that on alot of shows unless everyone on there isn't known yet.Every character gets used when they can and its part of or close to the storyline. Like people have said if you don't like a show change the channel or shut it off thats why tv has so many channels for when its repeats(you've seen)or reality tv.

Jen Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 12:51 AM EST

I agree with alot of people.They are just characters on a show lighten up a bit guys.Nobody wants any harm to come to Anna or her family.I'm happy she had her baby.It's unfair for people to accuse her of being unprofessional because she found out she was pregnant then every woman out there would be under that heading.This is the reasons why women in Hollywood were afraid to have families or tell anyone because people making a big deal or worrying about being fired because of it. Plus some of these comments on this board are scaring people away.Do we want ratings for the show to drop?NO,I don't because then it means its cancelled. And I also agree that some of this stuff as to do with Carmine(Danny).Ok guys its Fake Love!He's not really in love with her off screen,she's married to someone else.Don't know if he has anyone.But you can still dream about him with or without the storyline.It's ok too just don't become to obessed.

Jen Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 12:39 AM EST

I don't know why everyone is complaining for.The chances you will see this baby are slim to never look at CSI-Catherine(Marg Helegenberger)rarely do you see her kid.One day she was a little girl,next time I saw her she was 15.Half the time you didn't know she had a child.I heard she used to fight for that child to have screen time.And its not like the baby will be in the lab you'll probably see her every now and then because they have to work.

Wendy Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 05:52 PM EST

Because of my work schedule prior to DVR I didn't get to watch CSI:NY so I'm catching up with the reruns on Spike while keeping current with the new episodes. I've recently heard that someone is leaving the show(a main character)has anyone else heard anything?? I'm a big fan of Danny and Lindsay... I hope she plans on coming back from Montana...also who is Rikki? Danny's neighbor whose son died??

aaliyah Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 04:04 PM EST

omg i wish tht danny and lindsey were together in real life but at least in the show they finally got married. I think tht danny will be a good father but i also think tht he will make lindsey quit her job because of his feelings on the episode: "Point Of No Return" . I can't wait to see the new episode: "Prey" OMg Csi:ny is so much more interesting with the cute couple and to be honest i don't want Rikki to come back!

dlfan Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 08:52 AM EST

danny and lindsay are the reason i started watching this show. congrats to anna.no matter how careful you are there is still that chance that you can get pregnant.scientists or not.life happens!

kami Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 09:27 PM EST

I am so glad Danny and Lindsay are together! Everytime their is a cute couple on tv, it doesn't seem like they get together. I haven't been caught up on the episode's so don't know this yet, but I hope they will get married. I had hoped that in the earlier seaasons!

melynda cheatham Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 12:33 AM EST

I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT THEY ARE TOGETHER. TO BE HONEST THEY ARE THE REASON I STARTED WATCHING THE SHOW. A BABY IN THE MIX MAKES IT A WONDERFUL THING. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I HOPE THEY STAY TOGETHER AND GET MARRIED. THAT WOULD DEFINITLY KEEP ME WATCHING THE SHOW.

danlinfan Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 02:11 PM EST

Ithink it will be interesting to see how Danny and Linseywill deal with the stress of having a working and professional relationship. I wish the best for Anna & Eric.

Anna, You have pretty nice brown eyes and I like your hair the way you had it shorted the first year you were on the show,more so than now.The way now covers your nice eyeys. You have a nice face .

You are so lucy to work with Carmine. I'm rooting for Danny and Linsey to stay together.

Keep up with the good work that all of you do.....

kate Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 01:16 PM EST

they are the best couple ever(other than house and cuddy of course) and having a baby is just perfect :) :)

khill Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 09:45 AM EST

Ithink they are so cute and the baby makes things so much better i love this show

Ben Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 08:21 PM EST

Apparently! The kid is not Danny's in a new rumor that's been going around. If it's not, I'm not watching anymore!

whitney Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 09:15 PM EST

this is great
it is going to make their relationship so much cuter

Briana Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 04:26 AM EST

Eh. I'm so so about it. I like the smart-ass Danny. I don't want him to be all depressed about knocking up Montana

CSI Fan Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 10:37 PM EST

I think it's GREAT! I will probably watch the show more regularly now. I've been waiting for them to get together since the end of last season but it never happened. They make a cute on screen couple

Hakainokami Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 06:52 AM EST

I like Lindsay and Danny, but I've never been a fan of their relationship. I am happy for the expecting couple in real life, but I wish the producers had chosen another way to deal with it than by making it Danny's kid.

clairefontaine Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 09:26 PM EST

i'll send a mail to ausiello about some thoughts ok please answer back to this mail

Kristen Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:07 PM EST

WONDERFUL NEWS!

This is great. As actors,I hope Anna Belknap and the GORGEOUS Carmine Giovinazzo are just as excited to have this as part of their storyline as I'm sure the majority of fans of this show are.

Congratulations to Anna and her husband on the expectancy of their second child! :)

krizza Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 07:52 AM EST

is danny the real husband of anna

Junelle Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 10:07 AM EST

Just what I was looking for ... dang ... both of them are sexy and the only reason of me watching CSI

puteri Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 10:27 PM EST

congrate again to anna and hubby and their little girl...i cant wait for the episode..i like the idea of them having a baby...

Fariza Hani Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 01:44 PM EST

I just wanna say that I LOVE ANNA. YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE CSI. To Anna, congratulations on your second baby. Hopefully you will stay healthy and happy. Don't be sad when people say bad things about Lindsay. Just know that me and millions other fans around the world love you very much.

Raula Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 06:34 AM EST

Just one more thing:

GIVE LINDSAY A DECENT HAIRCUT!!!!

Raula Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 06:24 AM EST

OMG.. all these sour people below! I certainly feel for you..

But, Danny and Lindsay havin' a baby toghether is awesome!! I'm so thrilled! Last season wasn't the best for our D/L fans but now... the future is even brighter :)
I can hardly wait!

Congrats to Anna :)

Mo Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 11:27 AM EST

OMG!!! So happy about the D/L baby, it'll be good, yeah it may not fix all the problems but it's a start. and congrats to Anna!!

LuX Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 12:07 AM EST

this kind of sucks. i liked the idea of danny and lindsay hooking up with no strings attached. guess it just depends on where you are in your life. marriage and kids are a death sentence to those of us barely into our twenties, but it's just a show...

Silvia Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 08:09 AM EST

I love D/L shipper...they're so cute together and their baby...SOUNDS GOOD!!!Great idea...

Alexandra Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 11:04 PM EST

Even tho I shop D/L I have my doubts on the storyline, because babies don't fix anything. But, I'm keeping hope TPTB will make things work.

As for people calling Anna unprofessional for getting pregnant, really? Is it also unprofessional for a banker to get pregnant or have children? Because she will have to take time off for that.

Sorry, I didn't realize humanity had to stop pro-creating for their jobs. Yes, acting is about image. But image is required in a lot of jobs, and when it comes to jobs it's illegal to dictate what people do with their body.

puteri Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 11:08 PM EST

Just want to know..what's with the the fallout will be felt long thereafter.??

Jaye Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 09:01 PM EST

i'm not the biggest DL fan but I don't hate them. I do like that it hasn't been all roses and puppies, it's been real with all the ups and downs. so i'm willing to give it a shot. as for the folks saying that DL needed to be around longer first, you have to consider that the PTBs can NOT by law dictate the lives of the actresses and Anna is pregs. so it's not like they could force her to use birth control until they were good and ready for her to be knocked up to use it in a story. also, a surprise pregs has way more story potential than 'we were trying and yipee us' could ever have. and better that it is danny than some unknown guy which would make Linds look like a bit of a slut, which is soooo against character. I say give it a chance and save the gripes for after it is f-ed up, not before (which is why I hate spoilers as an institution)

jo_zannier Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 08:24 AM EST

Congrats to Anna. I am very happy for her.

I hope the road won't be too easy for Lindsay and Danny. I really love these two together, but I don't want the writers to just hit the "reset" button and forget about the few very bad things that have happened.
Still I am happy about this news. I think that if the writers do it well it is going to be really good for the characters, esp. for Lindsay who has a problem with mothers. I wonder how she is oging ot deal with the fact of becoming one.

The only other thing I can wish for now is a good story for Hawkes who hasn't been given nearly as much love as he should have.

And I also hope that when Rikki comes back, she'll be a bit happier than she was the last time we saw her. This poor woman deserves to be happy, after what she has been through.

Camila Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 06:12 AM EST

Terribly happy that one of the CSI shows decides to go for such a storyline. People have babies, it is natural and it was bound to happen at some point.

Looking forward to it.

Great job, writers.

And congratulations to Anna and her husband.

ashleycaseiharper Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 03:00 AM EST

Wow really looking forward to seeing where they go with this.
Wow loving all the bitchiness in response to this, i suppose the good thing is a lot of people have probably made some new friends over this tv show coupling (well i have personally) and that can only be a good thing. Cant wait for 26th November

Eileen Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 11:58 AM EST

I'm so happy!!!! Now I'm actually looking forward to season 5!

Deborah Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 08:54 AM EST

I am so glad that they are still together and that they are having a baby and every thing will hopefully work out and every thing

Fariza Hani Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 06:08 AM EST

Congratulations to Anna and Eric!
I love you Anna. You are my favourite CSI! Hope you are happy and healthy.

Manda Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST

Why do you guys have to be so mean about Anna having a baby? Seriously, its pretty pathetic, and as for the show becoming a "soap opera", whats wrong with having two characters being in a relationship and having a baby? I don't care if you love Danny and Lindsay or hate them, but their romance and them are a part of the show, so deal with it or don't watch it. Pretty simple. And Danny isn't boring and flat, I think he was grown and developed and Lindsay is a part of that. As for people blaming Anna for getting pregnant, that's incredibly disrespectful and horrible. And its a TV show, so just go with what the writers are doing, they obviously have a plan. Anywho, that's all :-)

Di Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 06:08 PM EST

OMG! I am so excited, I love Danny and Lindsay together. I was totally hoping that this would happen, but then I read something somewhere that said it could be Rikki that was pregnant, I just about lost it. I don't like Rikki. I hope Danny and Lindsay take the next step and get married. I can't wait until it mentions it on the show.

Ира Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 02:39 PM EST

Да, круто особенно, буду рада, если оно так и случится

Georgia Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 02:03 PM EST

I'm thrilled that CSI:NY is tackling this topic, It will be especially interesting to see how two CSIs handle the challenges of having children. And I think Danny and Lindsay will be good together.

This story has much better potential for character development than the trite, grief induced affair of last season.

HollyDreamz Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:51 PM EST

As a thrity-something viewer of CSI: NY, I'm quite pleased that TPTB are going to take on the challenge of writing an actress' real-life pregnancy into the show's storyline. IMHO, it works out better than trying to cover up the pregnancy. (BTW, many congrats to Anna Belknap!)

carrie Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:26 PM EST

yay! i think this is great! the writers really messed up last season, to me anyway. great for anna, who i personally love! and even better for danny/lindsay fans. but oh boy, i can hear the groans of the few anti-lindsay people around the country. if you don't like it, guess what? you don't have to watch! its just a show and chances are really high that danny wasn't going to end up with you like you had hoped, seeing as he is not real and all.

Luis Jr Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 09:05 PM EST

All I want to know is where I can buy the theme song but it be funny seeing her glow

Stacey Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 08:48 PM EST

I think if TPTB remain true to the characters of Lindsay and Danny, things will work out. They are both strong, independent and full of pride. True M&Ms want them back together yes, but as long as it's done for the right reasons and not just for the baby's sake. They are wonderful characters and fans would hate to see them be slighted.

natalie Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 06:16 PM EST

i love this show and watch all the episodes at firstonmars.com

Catherine Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 05:45 PM EST

Bad move bad idea more D/L fangirl squeeing..and vitriolic comments at those who disagree. Yadda yadda yadda...heard it all before. I will just mourn the integrity of this show that has been flushed down the drain by crass and lazy writing.

hw Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 02:24 PM EST

"Yes, let's not have any opposing viewpoints"

If you want to debate each side of an argument that's fine, but you have to be willing to listen as well.

hw Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 02:20 PM EST

"As for the back and forth sniping - who the hell cares?"

Anyone over the age of 13???

alexis Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 12:17 PM EST

dl having a baby is great news.
I'm so excited
season 5 is looking great!

Nora Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:35 AM EST

@ isanoot: You really find all the rights word for this. I completely agree with everything you wrote.

Sue Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:33 AM EST

I am thrilled to know the writers have included Danny to be her Baby's Father .Keep up the great work :) I love this show have watched it from the get go ! One question . Why does Gary Sinise always wear dark clothes ? He is soooo handsome ,lighten up on those digs add some color !!!!

isanoot Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:28 AM EST

... and I don't think having more than one couple in the show is impossible.
NY has this thing that makes me watch it more than LV: personal storylines OF EACH CHARACTER (Mac, stella, Flack, Hawkes, Adam, Sid.... I love each of them), and if it well balanced, then I've got no problem with it.
So... keep the face....

isanoot Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:26 AM EST

Wow, the DL still insopires lots of reactions!!!
Tha'ts good for the show (TPTB are not silly)
But I just wanted to say something that made me get really indignant, about Anna Belknap not being professional with the show.
Well for your information, in her first pregnancy, they wanted to pout it on the screen but SHE REFUSED. And considering her age, I am absolutely certain TPTB expected this to happen sonner than later, and always had optional scripts, to "adapt" the show to possible events (not only with AB).
They perfectly could have choosent not to put her second pregnancy on screen, again, but we have to admit that this time, they wanted to accept the challenge of FIRST PREGNANCY/FIRST BABY in a CSI show.
DLer or not, we have to let them the chance to do things properly.
This story has a lot of potential. All we need is wait and see.
and watch, which is what CBS want.
And for others shipeprs, I feel sorry for the lack of SMAC/ Fiesta etc...

Natalie Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 10:45 AM EST

YAY!!!!!!!! I'm HAPPY!

Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 09:40 AM EST

I am sorry but I have to confess that some of the posts here are amusing, especially those with lines like "bravo, csi:ny, you just lost many viewers" or "i'm done with this show".
What is so great about us, fans, it is that we always overestimate our own power over the ratings of the TV shows we like.
Remeber Jericho ? The fans did everything they could to get a second season, and they got it. There was just one small problem : the ratings for the second season were dismal.
I believe that there must be between 3000 and 5000 faithful fans for each major TV shows. A few thousands of people who add comments here, who post on forums, etc. That is nothing !
TV shows' ratings are counted in millions, not thousands. So what could the consequences of half a fandom being alienated be ? I'll tell you : zilch.
Because casual viewers, the many millions of them, keep watching. A baby may even make them "aww how cute" for a second, and they'll forget about it. And tune in the following week.

TorontoTom Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 09:17 AM EST

I gave this show a shot this summer and recorded reruns from last season. I tried to like it but it just isn't in the same league as the Las Vegas show. I like Gary Sinise but the show itself is so-so.

Zayne Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 08:53 AM EST

I disagree completely DragonKat. CSI:NY is the only CSI I find continually enjoyable due to the fact that since season 1, they've made an effort to develop every single character and actually show that these are real people. I love they deal with arcs almost every episode, whether it's story or character. Making individual characters a priority doesn't make it a soap opera, it makes it a more balanced show in my opinion. Bones, for example puts character above plots but that's the kind of show it is. The plots in CSI:NY always take precedence, but character development as a B plot is a-okay with me.

I think that is the characteristic that sets this spin-off apart from the original.

Before I get flamed, character and story arcs may be a part of the other CSIs now but I tried watching both a couple of years ago and they seemed very self-contained. That's fine, I just switched to only CSI:NY when I saw they were really running with their character moments from the beginning.

Dragonkat Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 08:32 AM EST

@Jeff. Gary is an amazing actor, but so is Eddie Cahill. I am hoping for some good storylines for him this year, now his sis is around. And so is Hill Harper. We need a strong line or two for him.
@ everyone I agree that the show is a drama and not a soap opera and as such should focus on the CSI-ing and less on the characters, but we all still want to know a bit more about the characters. Otherwise the show might as well be about crime-solving robots who never do anything else but crime-solve. And let's face it: in real life, no matter what you do, the people you work with are as important as the job.
That being said, still not a D/L fan and want that storyline over. Heck, I'd much prefer a D/Flack line (platonic or otherwise).

vanina Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 06:59 AM EST

hahahahahaha!!! you people are cracking me up!!! anyway, i didn't like the Lindsay chareacter that much, maybe this pregnancy will help me to stand her on the show!!!
Congrats to Anna and her hub!!!

maia Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 06:43 AM EST

well said isanoot.. couldn't have said it any better :)

isanoot Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 06:28 AM EST

... we simply felt BETRAYED in season 4. No less, no more.
And we felt the same about ALL season 4: forensic cases weren't as good as they used to be in past seasons.
We didn't recognised our favorite characters, and the Ruben's storyline was very good at the begining.... But the Greiving Sextherapy was too much for me. There was no love there, IMO.

That's all I wanted to says.
I think We all can share our opinions about the show, but never loose respect. for anybody, any ship, and any professional (reporters, producers...)
And about those who send "threatening" e-mails, well, we all know they come for BOTH sides of HATERS, so I simply don't give them any kind of interest, and so This Reporter and TPTB (of ANY show) do.
It simply has to do with immaturity.
And I don't consider DL fans (or any other shipers) are immature.
We support, analyse storylines. that's all.

isanoot Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 06:21 AM EST

Well I'd like to say that I feel very happy with this scoop, and I congratulate Ausellio for his great work.
And I'd like to say too (excuse my poor english, I am french) that in the fadnom world, there is always haters or "pro-ship" who are very agressive, it hapens everywhere.
But to deduce a reporter AND ATPTB feel afraid and arrassed by them, wow, tha'ts too much and exagerated!
As a SANE DL fan, I don't want to see a soap or a CSI:DL.
Just think this way: DL was made in a way, since day one (ZOO YORK)to finally be together. The road hase never been easy, but they put things in order to make us love them adn see how their relationship grows and deal with bumps (nor mkore ugly moutains, please!)... Of course there are lots of other ships, and we all know and RESPECT that.
But please don't reduce DL fans to teenagers!!
We don't want TPTB to make things like we want, but to do things properly, and after 2 whole seasons having D growing in the show and in our hearts....

Jessie Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 03:52 AM EST

I think the point below is an excellent one, if we're talking pathetic then we all fit the bill to a certain extent.

As for all the comments about not wanting to watch anymore if it becomes CSI D/L, do people honestly think that? I think for the average viewer D/L is just a small part of the show. It's only the online fans that are exposed to the overkill as it seems D/L is often all that is talked about. I wonder if it would be better to take a step back from the fandom rather than the show itself. I'm not saying that to be mean, I'm just kind of interested in how perceptions might change if someone who is fed up with D/L just watches the show. I say all of that because, to me the show is still primarily about Mac and Stella, it always will be. If anything, they haven't shown enough D/L for people to gain clarity, there were even comments earlier from people saying tptb tell rather than show what's going on. I agree with that wholeheartedly btw.

Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 01:23 AM EST

serph : I think you'll find that a huge majority of the fans of any TV show are (young) woman. The people who read Ausiello Files, who go on tv.com, who discuss TV series on the net are generally women.
And almost all of them (whether they 'ship or they don't, whether they support this 'ship or that 'ship) do it because they like/love/would like to date a male character on the show.
Is it pathetic ? Yes, of course, it is a bit pathetic. But isn't anyone who spends even 5 minutes of their time adding their comment here and/or who has any kind of "opinion" or "feeling" about TV characters a bit pathetic ?
TV is just entertainment. If you take it just a tad more seriously than that and bother to write about it, you are pathetic. I am a bit pathetic, so are you, so are all the people who added a comment here. But it is fine. There is nothing wrong with wanting some futility.
So please don't stigmatise one groupe of people and call them more pitiful than the others. We're all pitiful.

Dee Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 12:19 AM EST

If only this was before April and when I still supported/watched the show. Nevertheless, I'm happy for the Danny and Lindsay fans. Good messenger, good boy!

maia Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 11:43 PM EST

yeah i kinda agree with kelly on that one :)

PA0116 Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:43 PM EST

@Jaime: I'll never see Danny making an excuse to blow off lunch with Lindsay as "Danny is a liar." In the grand scheme of things that isn't that big of a deal.

I don't recall anyone saying Danny was perfect or making excuses for his behavior. People may speculate about what makes him do the things he does, but that is not the same thing as excusing his behavior. I've seen many more excuses for Lindsay's bad behavior and Anna Belknap's poor performance than I've ever seen for any other character and actor.

I like Danny because he is flawed and makes mistakes. IMO, exploring why he does self destructive things and acts the way he does is much more realistic and compelling than being part of what I think is a cliched, chemistry free relationship. To have Danny permanently tied to Lindsay is really damaging to his complexity because, to me, the whole relationship has just been one big cliche from the get go.

Lori Smith Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:39 PM EST

How can we get Stella pregnant so they finally put Mac and Stella together? Another disappointing season of hoping for nothing. I like D/L but they get the relationship story before Mac and Stella? The "wait" is getting "Old" and the stella and Mac fans are getting tired of waiting.

Sherri Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:31 PM EST

What about Rikki? I missed so much of last season! She is the mother of the little boy who was killed, but I missed the extras with Danny and her. Can someone fill me in

snarkycole Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:23 PM EST

I love Danny and Lindsay and their pairing, but I'm so not digging the whole pregnancy thing. I understand it's the easiest way to work with Anna's pregnancy, but at the same time I'm not sure if it will serve the show any good. If this was a different show where we got to see more of the personal lives instead of doing our own guessing of what happens off screen, then maybe I would be behind it more, but I feel we haven't established enough of a relationship between Lindsay and Danny to throw a pregnancy into the mix. I guess we'll just have to see how they unravel the pregnancy storyline before I judge the decision too harshly. What I've always loved about CSI:NY is how it goes beyond the predictable crime stories and shows the personal lives of the officers, so I hope they tell this story in away that adds to the story.

OMG!!!
I love you, thank you so much!!
This made my day :D

bianca Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:21 PM EST

Can I add how impossible it would be for the writers to forget DL. Look at all the talk their story has generated? *squee*

Bianca Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST

First, congrats to Anna and her hubby. :-)

Second, I'm so happy for DL. Hopefully this season will be worth watching. I love CSI:NY but it's DL that I primarily watch for so last season was just terrible. If the writers do this right, then this will be the best story for them this season. :)

rae Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:30 PM EST

I'm actually happy about it. I know I'm probably in the minority, at least online, but the Danny/Lindsay relationship is what got me hooked on the show in the first place.

Jane Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:09 PM EST

Y'all do realize that all your wailing and gnashing of teeth isn't going to make Anna any less pregnant, right? Your vitriolic rants aren't going to make the writers through out their plans. It's not like they didn't know there were dozens of bitter fangirlz out there who would hate this.

Jaime Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 07:38 PM EST

@faylinn. We might not agree on other points, but I am right with you on that one.

Faylinn Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 07:23 PM EST

Ok, seriously - LINDSAY. L-I-N-D-S-A-Y. It's spelled out multiple times in the article. Not to split hairs, but come on - it's RIGHT THERE.

Cris Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST

I remember lots of moments of anothers season where Danny was saying that he don't want to have a child. I relly want to know he's first reaction.
And I love the CSI Baby, this situation can be really explore in very good way!

rolange Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 06:44 PM EST

I love it!! I think a twist like this could be very interesting, as long as they keep Lyndsey a career girl. I can't wait for the complications!

kelleigh Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 06:37 PM EST

Could this possibly mean a return of the Sassone clan. Could there be danger lurking for Danny's new family?

Brooke Chambers Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 06:37 PM EST

Yes Danny and Linsday are having a baby. Guess Ricki can't be pregnant thank god. Last season sucked for D/L fans. This season sounds excellent.
I'm finally looking forward to watching CSI : New York this season.

Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 06:33 PM EST

Amen, serph!

Jaime Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:45 PM EST

@PA00116. Yes he did lie. Told Lindsay he was busy, but told Rikki he wasn't when she brought that up with him.

And IMO, yes he did cheat. That scene was a cliche cheating scene,thats been done on countless shows before to reveal a cheating spouse.

And I stand corrected on lying to Flack.

My point in all this is, that Danny is not the perfect character that a lot of people make him out to be. It seems people make excuses for every single thing he does, and its always someone else's fault that he does the things he does.

I'm not a shipper, I'm just a fan of the show that doesn't worship the ground Danny walks on.

PA0116 Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST

Since CSI: NY isn't a sitcom or a ro-co I really hope it isn't "funny to watch." If I find it "funny" it will be in the "this is so bad I have to laugh to make the pain subside" way.

Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:42 PM EST

Congratulations to Mrs. Belknap and her family despite people's displeasure with the pregnancy. May the writers have fun with this one.

serph Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:38 PM EST

Congratulations Lindsay fans! Now you can go on using her like the Mary-Sue she is, pretending you're Danny's girl and he'll love you forever! Puppies and rainbows!

I just lost my lunch and my interest in this show.

Amy Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:36 PM EST

**He became more self absorbed and didnt care who he hurt, didn't at all appreciate Flack trying to help him in AINF.**

what does that remind me of? oh yeah, danny in the season one episode on the job. he promised mac he wouldn't talk and he did. he didn't appreciate flack trying to help him. he didn't become a self absorbed liar, he always was and they changed him for the sake of a crappy romance story.

Nora Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:36 PM EST

I think we're getting a bit off topic here and we could probably discuss this matter for years to come without coming to a solution...
--
So I'll just leave it at that: In my very personal opinion the pregnancy-story can be very interesting and even funny to watch.
If it is handled well by the writers and they won't let Danny and Lindsay jump into a relationship just because she's pregnant, it's a great chance to give both characters more depth as they have to deal with parenthood.
In the end I still want to see them together of course. ;-)

PA0116 Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:34 PM EST

@Jaime

Danny was grieving during S4. Grief makes people act in ways they wouldn't normally. That is compelling and real. Anyway, he didn't give some big lie to Lindsay. He made an excuse not to have lunch with her. There's a huge difference. She called him in the morning and he wasn't due into work until after lunch. He could've very easily had time to do the errands he told Lindsay he had to do. Was it likely he did what he said? No. But to put that in the same category as an out and out lie doesn't make sense to me. I also don't recall him lying to Flack. He tried to avoid Flack helping him, but he didn't lie to him.

Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:30 PM EST

So let me get this straight...

DL Fans think she matured him? And you also think he lied and cheated with regards to rikki? And became less of a friend to Flack?

So where in lying and cheating and becoming a worse friend do we find his new found maturity?

He might have been a loose canon before but at least he was fun to watch.

OR you believe he's whipped and boring, and doesn't do anything but cater to Lindsay's complaints? Well.. that doesn't strike me as maturing either, so just what GOOD did Lindsay instill in him exactly?

victiim Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:26 PM EST

I have no problem with the idea of Danny maturing..but he DIDN'T mature. All his problems and imperfections and quirks just disappeared. That's not maturing. That's just pretending something RIDICULOUS happened like; omg he found lindsay and she made all the problems in his life go away, including his character flaws awww how nice.

What a cheap, and boring way to go.

People don't change over night, even for love. Imagine that.

Jaime Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST

What exactlly have they stripped away?

And it goes both ways. So are people to blame Rueban and Rikki for what he became last season? Brushing aside the cheating issue, he also became a liar, not only to Lindsay, but to Flack as well. He became more self absorbed and didnt care who he hurt, didn't at all appreciate Flack trying to help him in AINF. Told him to mind his own buisness.

Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:22 PM EST

Danny's lone wolf type of character. I don't want him paired with ANYONE.. at least until the show is on it's last legs and has nothing else to do to draw an audience..
*gasp* maybe that's what this is!

I'd hate it just as much if he was having a kid with Stella, or if he settled down with Rikki. He was never the type of character that let himself get too tied down. That's why people became Danny fans.

Lindsay came and all they cared about was paring him with someone ASAP and getting people to start taking their shirts off.

@Chiara & Anon

Of course I don't date. I'm a troll.

Trolls spend all their time stoking the wanky fires of the Interwebz. Trolls are always looking for va-jay-jays full of sand and calling the WAHMBULANE!!! for them.

There is no time for this so called "dating" in the life of a troll.
