Criminal Minds
Although she waslet go at the beginning of season 6 , Cook maintained a front on the show by drop by for several client spots – saying goodbye to Paget Brewster ’s character Emily Prentiss and the recent season finis where she confirm what had long been account : JJ will be back .
While many have breathe a sigh of succor that their beloved JJ will once again graceCriminal Mindswith her presence , Cook has opened up about changes in the fibre and what viewers can expect from her role with the BAU when season 7 kicks off in the fall .
In another case of life imitates art , JJ ’s departure and subsequent income tax return can scarcely be separated from the recent professional upheaval Cook has divvy up with over the retiring year . Those changes will be reflect in the demeanor of JJ when she comes back to the BAU at the request of Rossi ( Joe Mantegna ) .
Cook says :
“ I am excited to get back there , from an acting point of view , too . I call back this is a unlike JJ than we ’ve meet in the yesteryear , so I ’m excited to see where she goes. … she ’s a different cleaning woman — a confident , " I ’ve been working in the State Department " woman . But that ’s what I like . If I was going to come back , I did n’t want to go back to what I was because apparently it was n’t view as important enough to have me there in the first place ! I wanted to check that the character was start somewhere else and was move to be apply . … We ’ve been peach a sight , me and Erica [ Messer ] , who ’s now the novel showrunner . … What I love about them is it ’s open negotiation . It ’s always been that mode with writers and actors . I guess fan are kind of freaked out that I ’m snuff it to move around into this huge ball - buster ! ”
As attest by the lover reaction to her leave the show , change can be hard for a devoted fan base to take on , so Cook try that while many aspect of JJ will be unlike , it ’s just the natural progression of the fictitious character – the JJ everyone is so passionate about is still at the core .
“ She was work at such a ridiculous horizontal surface at the State Department that I think she ’s come back … capable to handle a small more . But she ’s still depart to be the nurturer , she ’s still go to be that JJ that everyone do it . ”
Will the increased off - screen attention Cook garnered translate into a expectant use onCriminal Minds , or a more pivotal spot with the BAU ? Some have speculated that JJ ’s income tax return means she ’ll wind up being the new Unit Chief , but Cook is n’t so quick to confirm . Being cognizant of the rumor , the actress has“no idea”if a publicity will be written into her forthcoming discharge – mostly because some cardinal actors ( like Thomas Gibson ) are still without contracts . Though the expiration of Gibson ’s case Aaron ‘ Hotch ’ Hotchner was tease in theseason 6 finale , the death resultant of his negotiation will go a long way in ascertain the plot line of season 7 .
The on - again - off - again relationshipCriminal Mindshas had with A.J. Cook appears to have in the end come up some closing that fans can be well-chosen with . With luck , the same accord can be reach with others in the form and hopefully that means the show will achieve some semblance of stability .
