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."

I do like the sound of her! This is the good thing with bringing in new character played by mature actors - you have to give new characters backstory and context, and when your actors are older there's time and space to do it in so that it works.

Really happy that they're adhering to the no-romance rule still.
