Melina Kanakaredes, who stars as Detective Stella Bonasera on CSI: NY, announced yesterday that she would be leaving the hit CBS drama after six seasons.

The 43 year-old actress said, "I made some amazing and lifelong friendships during my six seasons on CSI: NY, and I will treasure them forever."

CBS issued a statement about Melina Kanakaredes leaving the show. "We hoped Melina would return to CSI: NY for another season, but we respect her decision to move on. Her amazing talent and invaluable contribution to the success of the series are greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten. She will forever remain a friend to the network and studio and we wish her the very best."

Melina is rumored to be replaced by Sela Ward - the Emmy-winning actress from Once and Again and Sisters. The 54-year-old Mississippi-born actress is reportedly in talks to join CSI: NY.

Kanakaredes is one of several actors to leave "CSI" shows this season. Also departing are A.J. Cook, Liz Vassey (Wendy Simms on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigations"), and Eddie Cibrian ("CSI: Miami").
