O'Loughlin had previously expressed his desire to exit the CBS series after Season 8. “I’m more open to continuing on than I was when we spoke a couple years ago,” he tells EW. “It’s a hard question to answer at the end of the season. I’m literally shooting episode 25 right now, and it happens to be episode 193 as well. All I want to do is collapse into my hiatus and go to bed for a couple weeks, but I am open to doing another couple of years. Hopefully we can make a deal.”
