Scoop on Speed’s return to CSI Miami
Ever since I heard Rory Cochrane would be returning as Tim Speedle, AKA Speed, we have all been wondering exactly how it would work. Well, now we know! Eric Delko will be the one seeing Speed, and Speed will be a ghost. I am pretty sad to hear that it will only be for two episodes though, I was kind of hoping he was going to be a series regular and they were going to somehow come up with something creative to explain his “death”. But I’ll take what I can get!
Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez) is going to see dead people — or at least a dead person. As a result of his post-traumatic stress disorder, the CSI: Miami agent will see the ghost of his fallen colleague Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane), which will, for obvious reasons, send him into a downward spiral. “Delko is doing a good job at masking his trauma,” Rodriguez told TV Guide at the CBS Monday Night Season Premiere party Sept. 19. “But I think [a meltdown] is definitely a possibility.”
And while seeing the ghost is bad for Delko, Cochrane’s return is great for the cast. “I’m happy to have my buddy back,” says Rodriguez, who admitted last July that he was disappointed when Cochrane abruptly quit in 2004. “It wasn’t the world he wanted to live in. He walked away to make himself happy.”
Unfortunately Cochrane’s return is short-lived — he’ll only be on for two episodes. “I feel like he deserves to be here,” says Emily Procter, who plays Calleigh Duquesne. “I wish he hadn’t been killed. Maybe just have gone to prison.”
