   '9-1-1' Storyline Too Racy for CC

   Charisma Carpenter was supposed to appear in an upcoming episode of Fox's   
   9-1-1. Well, now the show will have to regroup in order to bring the actress   
   on the series via a new storyline, because the one she was supposed to be in   
   has been deemed too R-rated by Fox's Standards and Practices. In today's age   
   of Grey's Anatomy and other medical dramas, you may be wondering what   
   storyline could have given Fox pause. Well, this is it.   
      
   Explaining the situation, 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear told TVLine that the   
   story involved Carpenter's lover dying on top of her while under the   
   influence of Viagra, leaving the pair stuck together.   
      
   Despite a case similar in nature being shown on the CBS medical drama Code   
   Black, Fox did not give 9-1-1 the all-clear to move forward on the racy   
   episode. In fairness, Tim Minear did say 9-1-1's take differed from the CBS   
   series', though he did not elaborate on the logistical variances. Medical   
   shows tend to be given a lot of leeway when it comes to the graphic nature   
   of the content presented.   
      
   The good news for Charisma Carpenter fans is that 9-1-1's showrunner has   
   vowed to have her back on the show when he finds the right thing for her.
