Sofia Curtis is a fictional character on the CBS drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She is played by British actress Louise Lombard.

[edit] Background

Sofia was introduced in the season five episode "Formalities." It is later explained in the season six episode "Bodies in Motion" that, though she qualified to become a detective, the sheriff "pulled her papers" and assigned her to CSI due to her lab skills. Due to a struggle in office politics, Conrad Ecklie demoted her from acting day shift supervisor (episode "Mea Culpa") to night shift; she subsequently thought about quitting. Gil Grissom talked her into staying, and in season six she resumed her original career path and returned to police work as a detective, like her mother. She originally took a position in Boulder City, but transferred back to Las Vegas in the first episode of season six. In the two part episode A Bullet Runs Through It, she believes that she may have accidentally shot and killed Deputy Daniel Bell in a wild shoot out with drug dealers. The shooting causes her great anxiety and emotional stress, but forensic investigation eventually proved that Captain Jim Brass was the accidental shooter (the officer had unwittingly stood up in Brass's line of fire). Later, Curtis is horrified to discover that she had actually watched an undercover cop die on camera from carbon monoxide poisoning. Though she takes it more calmly than the incident with Deputy Bell, she still feels responsible for the officer's death (episode 716, "Monster in a Box")

At the beginning of the seventh season, Sofia becomes a main cast member.

[edit] Relationships

Sofia's mother is a captain in the Las Vegas Police Department; she has implied that her mother disapproves of the sheriff essentially drafting her to be a CSI and that she aspires to live up to her mother's reputation. (Bodies In Motion)

Sofia seemed romantically interested in Gil Grissom in season five. They had dinner together, but ultimately their relationship has remained platonic. Gil Grissom is currently romantically involved with Sara Sidle.

Despite early tension, she and Sara Sidle often work together in the field. They argued in the season six episode A Bullet Runs Through It over Sofia confiding in Gil Grissom about her sense of guilt. Sara pointed out that legally, Sofia should not discuss the case with Gil, who was investigating, while Sofia felt she had no one else to whom she could turn. However, they are friendly in subsequent episodes.
