CSI creator William Petersen finally clarifies what exactly is going on between the show’s two main characters, Gil Grissom (played by William Petersen) and Sara Sidle (played by Jorja Fox). However, if you are one of the millions who have tuned in every week since the show began airing, the fact that Grissom and Sara are engaged in a romantic relationship certainly isn’t much of a surprise.
Following the current story of the show, the other main characters don’t have a clue about Grissom and Sara, and Petersen intends to keep it that way in the meantime, as he not only intensifies the obstacles the lovers must overcome, but also avoids them. lovers. other characters being diverted from their lab work. Of course, the audience is lucky enough to be saved from shock, and clues pointing to the true state of the relationship have continued to appear throughout the show.
The relationship is another classic example of forbidden love. Grissom is, as all fans know, the night shift crew chief at the Las Vegas crime lab. Sara is a Materials and Elements Analyst who previously worked in the San Francisco Crime Lab. Professionally, they make a great couple, but romantically, it’s a disaster waiting to happen, if only because of the boundaries they have crossed. Plus, even if everyone else found out about them and gave them the go-ahead, Grissom and Sara would still face yet another social stigma. To state the obvious, there is a significant age difference between the two characters, and although they appear to be at the same level of maturity, one can only imagine the implications of the situation for their work and emotional well-being.
Petersen has certainly been able to add to the complexity of the show by creating the budding romance, and has kept viewers glued to their televisions with sweet anticipation for the upcoming CSI episodes.
