The first to return on the top-rating CSI franchise is Horatio Caine-helmed CSI: Miami.  Due to open its seventh season on September 22 at 10pm ET/PT with an episode that will have the guys in the hunt for the person who shot Horatio, which will lead them to some of the most dangerous people in Miami, plus someone who is one of their own. We also learned that some people will be reprising their roles on the seventh season, such as Elizabeth Berkley as Horatio's ex-girlfriend Julia Winston, Kim Coates Horatio shooting suspect Ron Saris, Evan Ellingson as Horatio's long-lost son Kyle Harmon, plus the hugely anticipated return of Sofia Milos as Colombian homicide detective Yelina Salas.

Another exciting twist CSI: Miami fans can watch out for include the possibly brewing love angle between Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) and Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne).  According to E! Online, Rodriguez was quoted to have touched on this topic and couldn't hide his excitement on the possibility.

E! Online reports that Rodriguez himself said, "The tension is building, and there's only so long we can probably wait to pounce on each other."  For her part, Emily Procter added, "In the seventh season you get to sort of watch Calleigh sort through the parts of her life she's unsure about: Here's Delko, who's a great choice for her-you know they have a lot in common. He's very loyal to her; she's very loyal to him.  They've been through a lot together, and he's a kind person. And then she's got Jake, on the side, who's kind of the bad boy, and you see her being drawn to that."

To clarify matters further, Rodriguez then spoke with the Official CSI Magazine and confirms that something is brewing between the two.

"Both of the characters have been there for each other when they really needed one another," he said.  "There has always been a strong friendship and attraction but it has never been fully delved into."
