During one of her interview, Kirsten Vangsness dished out a few details in regards to "Criminal Minds" season 12. One of the things that was certain however is the fact that her character and Rodriguez's character will be having several clashes.

"So, I met Adam Rodriguez the first day Penelope Garcia is going to meet Luke Alvez," Kirsten Vangsness tells Starry Mag during an interview. "I meet him and we are sitting there talking. He's delightful and I almost immediately love him. Then, we go to shoot a scene and it is amazing how much Penelope Garcia vehemently hates him. It is so different than how I feel about him. It was weird to be like, 'Hey! Hi!' I couldn't even look at him. I couldn't even look at him without starring."

There are no updates in regards to Thomas Gibson return as of this date, but it was mentioned that it is still uncertain as to whether he would be making a comeback or not. Feel free to follow Parent Herald for more updates on the "Criminal Minds."
