I've already 'aside'-ed this, but I thought it merited its own post. So here it is.
Now it's no great secret that David Caruso isn't much loved on the set of CSI: Miami. Or that Emily Procter and he don't get along and haven't done since season one.
But if you've been watching seasons six and seven, you'll have noticed that they've been having fewer and fewer scenes together. In fact, one or two a season seems to be the count, even when that makes a nonsense of the plot. In fact, you could even make a long-term drinking game out of it all.
The question is though: have the producers noticed that we've noticed? Take a look at this scene. It looks like Procter and Caruso are in the same scene. Yet... they don't exchange dialogue and when they are in the same shot, it's a long shot and you can't see both of their faces – I doubt they're using doubles but odder things have happened…
So are they actually in the same scene or not? What do you think?

I gave up the show years ago (I get my Caruso fix via the meter, LOL!), and even as much as I delve into show info, I never heard about them feuding. But looking at that scene with that idea lodged in my head, I could almost buy into that being a Calleigh double in the long shot; just to spare Emily from having to be in the same shot with him!
I'll have to look around; see what else is being said about that.....

[esto es genial] The rift between Procter and Caruso becomes obvious if you compare old episodes from 2004/205 to episodes produced in 2007/2008. Back in 2004 Procter and Caruso had noteworthy dialouges together.
In episode "Going Ballistic" Procter and Caruso and an alibi scene where Procter handed Caruso a sheet of paper mumbled a sentence and went off.
We don't know what has occured between those two but it must have been something big. Maybe Caruso would be advised to change his rotten attitude.

What I think is that, having never watched any CSI Miami until now, I finally understand the Carusometer.

The prima dona on CSI Miami is the blonde bimbette, and has been from the beginning. Caruso is the perfectionist and a hardass who won't take the garbage she dishes out.
Caruso finally had enough. The rest is history.

[das ist gut] Now it's no great secret that David Caruso isn't much loved on the set of CSI: Miami. Or that Emily Procter and he don't get along and haven't done since season one.
Caruso has been the prima dona on CSI Miami from the beginning. Procter had had enough of his bad behavior and
Caruso a perfectionist?
He couldn't act his way out of a wet paper-bag. Besides Caruso has the reputation of being difficult. Spitting, cursing and temper-tantrums are not beneath him.
Looks like Caruso's single left fan-girl has come to his resuce. Only it won't work. Kudos to Procter !
