According to the site Looper, Shortly before the beginning of season 6, cast members Paget Brewster (Special Agent Emily Prentiss) and A.J. Cook were fired from the show. The official word from the network and production company came down to budget cuts, but according to Brewster, the real reason was far seedier. Reportedly, someone from CBS called Criminal Minds showrunner Edward Allen Bernero and ordered him to bring in "new women"--meaning younger women. Cook shot an episode to explain why her character, J.J., was going away, but Brewster's agent negotiated an additional 17 episodes before her demise. Actress Rachel Nichols was brought in to replace Brewster and Cook, and Brewster went on to shoot a pilot. Once the pilot wasn't picked up, Criminal Minds producers (new ones--Bernero quit) claimed that those 17 episodes constituted another year of her contract, forcing her to return to the show that had fired her (and killed off her character). After thousands of fans wrote in letters of complaint, Brewster and Cook, returned to Criminal Minds as well.
