"Criminal Minds exec Erica Messer has admitted it would be &amp;quot;fantastic&amp;quot; if Paget Brewster returned to the show. Brewster quit her role as Emily Prentiss in February and will be replaced by new regular Jeanne Tripplehorn, playing FBI agent Alex Blake.   &amp;quot;It would be fantastic [if Paget came back], but it&amp;#039;s too early to make those decisions,&amp;quot; Messer told TV Guide. &amp;quot;It takes a lot of people to sign off on things like that.&amp;quot; However, the producer promised that the Prentiss character will be referenced frequently in the show&amp;#039;s eighth season. &amp;quot;In the premiere, we learn that Morgan (Shemar Moore) and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) visited with Prentiss while they were in London,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll mention her as often as possible. She&amp;#039;s gonna be loved.&amp;quot; Criminal Minds star Joe Mantegna (David Rossi) previously hinted that Brewster could return to the show as a guest star, hinting that her character &amp;quot;is positioned in a way that she can come back periodically&amp;quot;. The actress will next be seen in the 14th-season premiere of NBC crime drama Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU. Criminal Minds returns to CBS on Wednesday, September 26 at 9/8c. The series airs on Sky Living in the UK. &amp;gt; Criminal Minds casts Josh Stamberg for season eight &amp;gt; Matthew Gray Gubler signs two-year deal with Criminal Minds Watch Digital Spy&amp;#039;s recent interview with Criminal Minds star Kirsten Vangsness below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
