There is speculation that 'CSI' character Nick Stokes (George Eads) may have a romance in the new series.

Warning: spoiler alert!

In a Q&A session with fans, TVGuide.com's Adam Bryant was asked for details about new 'CSI' star Katee Sackhoff's character Detective Reed.

He replied: "She's a tough, stubborn woman, and that initially puts her at odds with George Eads' Nick Stokes. But she slowly wins him over."

Actor Eads told TVGuide.com: "She plays her character with a lot of bravado, which is something I think Nick really likes to be around."

When asked if there would be sparks between them, Eads replied: "For Nick to have a relationship with anyone on the show, the genesis of it has to be mutual respect."

Eads added that the length of Sackhoff's stay on the show had yet to be finalised.
