"Paget Brewster has ruled out returning to Criminal Minds as a series regular. Brewster reprises her role of Prentiss for the CBS procedural&amp;#039;s 200th episode - airing tonight at 9/8c - but told TV Guide that she is unlikely to reappear on a more permanent basis.  &amp;quot;If they ask me to guest-star again, I would do it,&amp;quot; said the actress. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think I would join full-time again. &amp;quot;I had a great time there. It&amp;#039;s exciting to be scared and trying new things, and I am doing that.&amp;quot; Brewster added that she is happy to &amp;quot;pop in&amp;quot; on Criminal Minds but only &amp;quot;if it helps their story&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I really respect that core cast who is there every day - it&amp;#039;s their show,&amp;quot; she concluded. Originally joining the show in 2006, Brewster was dropped from Criminal Minds in 2010 but was reinstated as a series regular the following year. She later quit the series and departed a second time in the seventh season finale, which aired on May 16, 2012.
