Former CSI lab rat Liz Vassey is returning to primetime in an episode of Castle, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Vassey — whose departure from CSI this fall drew a loud rebuke from fans — will play a real estate broker who gets caught in the middle of New York’s pizza wars. Think Famous Rays vs. Original Rays, only with different names and an extra topping of murder.

Vassey’s ep is slated to air in the spring.

Good for her. I always enjoy her work. Hopefully, she’ll join a new cast permanently sometime soon.

Great news to hear she’s on my favorite show. CSI should never have dropped her.

One more reason to see Castle. I miss her on CSI and is inexcusable what they did with it. Grave prominence and abruptly fired.

Captain Liberty from the Tick.. Greatest show ever and her best work to date! Loved that show as a kid…

- I agree that show was a hoot! I aslo remember her from the first few episodes of ER’s first season as the flirty college coed who had the hots for a young Dr Carter…. ah the good ole days…

Great! She’s got a quirky air about her that should fit in quite nicely on “Castle”.

Great! I’ve been a fan of hers ever since the late, lamented MAXIMUM BOB, and stopped watching CSI when they got rid of her. Looking forward to seeing her in this!

This is awesome!! Can she become a regular and make her and Castle a couple!!! They would be hot together. So unlike the boring (zzzzz) Beckett.
