Criminal Minds
Warning!
I considered not [returning].
I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do this without him.
Like, how do we do this?’
[Spencer and JJ are] best friends.
I kind of struggled with that at first.
We all want him there.
Hopefully, that will all come together because he’s so much fun to be around.
He’s just that guy that you want to be around.
This made it difficult for him to pursue other endeavors, including directing.
The good news is that both SSAs are still technically part of the BAU.
From there, it would be fairly easy to reincorporate them into the story.
Aside from being longtime friends,Reid and JJ almost had a romancein the original CBS show.
