With that, the executive producer of the series, Erica Messer, explained that Emily will first be hesistant to discuss the matter. As reported by TVLine, she said, "She's sort of delicate about it at first, but then it becomes the 'elephant in the room' that they talk about. She can look at it from what Morgan must be feeling right now, because she was once Morgan. She decided to walk away, so she knows what that is. We tried to bring all of that to life."
In addition, Brewster's return will also help fans accept the exit of Shemar Moore by showing that it is still possible to return to the show even after leaving. According to TV Guide, Moore shared his sentiments about the possibility of returning. He said, "This business is all about politics, so I'm not promising anything. But from a creative place, from a passionate place, if I'm asked intermittently to come back like they did at 'The Young and the Restless,' from my heart, the answer is yes, yes, yes, yes. But I don't know where I'm going to be in my career and my life when that time comes. But is it possible? Yes, it's possible."
"Criminal Minds" Season 11 airs every Wednesday nights on CBS.
