Party girl cast for CSI: NY Season 8

The new season of CSI: NY could use a party girl so they went and hired Olivia Crocicchia to come on to the crime procedural and party to her hearts content while simultaneously becoming a murder suspect. You may recognize Crocicchia on FX’s now completed Rescue Me as one of Denis Leary’s daughters, Katy. Because there are only a limited number of names you can be called on TV, Crocicchia will be playing a teenager named Kate on CSI: NY.

According to TV Guide, Kate is a high school student attending a party where another girl is killed. The CSI team start pointing fingers at Kate when it’s discovered the victim had humiliated Kate through some stunt. It must have been pretty embarrassing if they suspect Kate committed murder over it. You’d have to be pretty unhinged to kill over a prank. Initially Kate will be hesitant to help the investigation, but her goals for attending the party become clearer.

You can’t go wrong with high school drama on a cop show (and no that’s not sarcasm). I genuinely enjoy the episodes where teenagers snap and kill people. It’s always the well-adjusted kids for some reason. It doesn’t make much sense, so I get a laugh out of the hot cheerleader killing her best friend for insert shallow reason here. It suggests that anybody is capable of murder, which I really don’t believe. But that’s the genre. It’s entertaining so it should not be knocked.
