Matthew Gray Gubler Teases a 'Uniquely Done' Criminal Minds Love Story



While much of the buzz surrounding Criminal Minds Season 8 thus far has involved Paget Brewster’s absence and the corresponding addition of Jeanne Tripplehorn to the BAU mix, fans can be assured that “a lot of interesting things” are on tap for Dr. Reid, Matthew Gray Gubler tells us.

For one, “There’s a mysterious woman in his life,” the actor/sometime director told TVLine at CBS’ Fall Kick-Off party on Tuesday night. Pressed to elaborate on the seeming romance, Gubler would (could?) only say, “It’s very intriguing…. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s a uniquely done story of love, I might say. Or maybe not. I don’t know.”

Although a CBS rep was unable at this time to comment on the casting of any “mystery woman,” Gubler said the character “is someone new. And I think it’s going to be very well done. It arcs over a few episodes, and we’re halfway into it [at Episode 7]. It’s interesting.”

Also sounding interesting is a Halloween episode the CBS crime drama has on tap. A.J. Cook, who plays JJ, describes the spook-tacular outing as “really cute” and stressed that “costumes will be involved.” And that brings us to Reid’s “twin.” “Somebody dresses up as him,” Gubler shares. “I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s a very touching moment.”

As long as its nothing like that almost romance Morgan had last season, I'm excited. It will get in the way of my guilty pleasure otp, though

Season 1-3 ftw, after season 4 I couldn't stick with it.

I'm rewatching the whole series right now. Just started 5. The Reaper storyline couldn't be more intense. What turned you off?

When they had that whole serial killer thing with Hotch, it just dragged for me and then they killed his wife, JJ and Prentiss left the show, it was too much in a short time and I just stopped watching.

season 5 is soooo intense

reidacted 19th-Sep-2012 11:25 pm (UTC)
No. It's reportedly some scientist.

The only love story I want to see with Reid is him fapping alone while thinking of Morgan.

I personally liked that one actress chick from Season 1.

Gettin' real sick of your shit, Reid.
usagidropicons 20th-Sep-2012 12:05 am (UTC)
Please no :c
freckles929 20th-Sep-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
But why can't Morgan/Reid happen?



scotchsour 20th-Sep-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
I will lose my imaginary collective shit if that happened... but we know that will never happen.

So I rather fight for some similar canonical show with good actors and storylines with two interracial(partial to black/asian pairing, honestly I am writing that in my head.) bisexuals falling in love over the course of seasons doing their awesome detective work.

sorry about edits.

What is this perfect comment?
infinitycluster 20th-Sep-2012 03:54 am (UTC)
in my mind it already happened and is canon.
carryyourheart 20th-Sep-2012 01:36 am (UTC)

ichdontthinksoo 20th-Sep-2012 01:53 am (UTC)
Bring back that cute bartender chick.
britt_m_89 20th-Sep-2012 03:03 am (UTC)
Yes I was just about to mention her. Her and Reid were cute together.
ichdontthinksoo 20th-Sep-2012 03:57 am (UTC)
<3 and the magic trick, oh my heart.
carnivalous 20th-Sep-2012 02:36 am (UTC)
i miss the criminally hot posts
reidacted 20th-Sep-2012 03:31 am (UTC)
They're still criminally hot.
carnivalous 20th-Sep-2012 03:44 am (UTC)
I agree and we need more. Hoping it comes with the return of CM
ankiem0e 20th-Sep-2012 04:28 am (UTC)
I wonder if they're going to attempt to capture the frisson of totally cerebral, completely enthralling brainsex that a pair of fascinating nerds can get up to...and no, I don't mean cybersex or socially-awkward online geek love, as delightful as that can be. I mean the bone-deep jarring thrill of Carl Sagan and Anne Druyan connecting cosmic neurons. Or Socrates and Xanthippe, arguing philosophical points as foreplay.

I totally want Henry to dress up as Reid for Halloween, because that would be freaking adorable.

Not pleased about the Reid romance thing though. I guess they could prove me wrong, but it all sounds so contrived. My personal head canon is that he has a casual no-strings thing with that Lila chick from S1 and every time the team is in LA he hooks up with her. :D

I watched three eps of this show last night on A&E and I don't get it. I guess I'm more used to the X-Files approach to working for the FBI?
