Marg Helgenberger has revealed that she is still planning to leave CSI.



The actress, who plays Catherine Willows, explained that she doesn't expect to work on the show for much longer.

"I'm only actually negotiated for this season," she told Entertainment Weekly. "That's all I'm really thinking about right now, is just finishing up this season. So no, I don't... Not much longer. Not much longer."

However, Helgenberger explained that she is happy with her storylines at the moment.

"I'm getting the opportunity to play different colours this season because I have a boyfriend on the show, played by Alex Carter," she said. "He's been great. I've enjoyed it because it hasn't been like all cerebral stuff. It's been passionate. It's been vulnerable. It's been emotional. It's been taking me to places that I don't get to do on the show. That's kept it fresh. And I enjoy working with him."

CSI continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.
