Got any new information on Jeanne Tripplehorn's character on Criminal Minds? — Cynthia

ADAM: Yep! Her name is Alex Blake and she's a seasoned FBI linguistics expert, who has some history with Reid. "People like Reid learned from [her]," executive producer Erica Messer tells us. "She is also a professor at Georgetown and Reid has guest-lectured at her forensic linguistics class before." And before you even ask, don't look for her to be striking up any interoffice romances. "She is in a relationship," Messer teases. "When you get your heroes involved romantically, it just changes the show so much. I feel pretty strongly about that as a rule."

Not sure why she reminds you of Gideon - if Reid's guest-lectured at her class, then she might think of him as a peer? Anyway, nice to have someone new and potentially mature. Would like if they get back to cases and less personal stuff so I can make up whatever I want without that annoying canon in the way!
