Earlier this week, we told you CSI‘s Gary Dourdan would soon be saying goodbye to his role as Warrick Brown.  Now CBS will be looking to plug another hole in its hit franchise by next year.

According to TV Guide, actress Khandi Alexander is set to place her sunglasses down shortly.  Alexander, who has played Alexx Woods since 2002, will be leaving her medical examiner post by the end of CSI: Miami‘s sixth season.

Producers are expected to refill Khandi’s role.

Meanwhile, NBC is also in the middle of its second departure this week.  Just days after hearing Diane Neal would be replaced as A.D.A, we learning that Adam Beach will also be departing the Law & Order: SVU family.  Since Beach was only contractually obligated for one year, this latest news doesn’t come as a huge surprise.  He and the producers mutually agreed not to exercise his second season option.

SVU‘s creators do not plan to find Adam’s replacement.
