'Criminal Minds' star Thomas Gibson has insisted that the show "is continuing" despite losing several cast members.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor, who plays Aaron Hotcher in the show, said: "Each year seems to have contained the challenges of transition and no greater transition has been called upon than this year."
"The show is continuing just like the team is continuing, but hopefully we're ready for whatever the next transition is."
"I don't think there are any wishy-washy fans. I think there are fans who are very connected, and we're grateful for them, so hopefully they will [stick around]."
"We've still got stories to tell, and I want us to tell them well. Hopefully people are along for the ride."
AJ Cook (JJ) and Paget Brewster (Emily) recently departed from the show.
