Will new agent, Stephen Walker, die in the Season 13 Premiere of Criminal Minds? It looks like the newest member of Criminal Minds has just "lost" his job. Damon Gupton (Stephen Walker) tweeted about losing his job on the June 11 saying that he appreciated a inspiring tweet from Tyvis Powell as he just lost his job. Obviously this tweet sounds like he's just been fired from Criminal Minds, most likely due to negative comments about his character on Social Media and the backlash of Thomas Gibson's firing last year. Of course this isn't the first time this has happened. Back in 2011, Rachel Nichols (Ashley Seaver), who replaced A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster in Season 6 after they were both fired, was subsequently fired at the end of the season due to negative comments about her character and the backlash CBS and ABC Studios received in the wake of Cook's and Brewster's firing. Although this hasn't been confirmed yet, it's most likely this as true as the writers for Criminal Minds have just started working on Season 13 and must have come to the conclusion to not have Gupton return. The obvious explanation for Gupton's absence from next season will be an easy one to explain as his character was involved in last season's cliffhanger which saw his character Stephen Walker as well as Prentiss (Paget Brewster), JJ (A.J. Cook), Rossi (Joe Mantegna), Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) being hit by a truck while in their SUV's. This also comes in the wake of reports that both A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness could also be leaving Criminal Minds if they are not paid the same as their male co-stars. Criminal Minds returns with it's 13th Season on Wednesday, September 27 at 10/9c on CBS.

thank god. he was so boring. Not sure why they even brought a new person in. we've always had 7 team members. I 100% believe they just wanted another male. He was a boring character and (I'm sorry) a really bad actor. glad to see him go. season 13 is going to be amazing with just our 7 team members we've grown to love.

I would have preferred Aisha Tyler to be the one who wound up in this situation. She imo, just doesn't seem to fit with the group. I thought he fit better. It's awful when anyone loses a job. Perhaps, he knew that this was coming. We now have Spence back! I don't want to see the girls leave, they deserve equal pay. JJ is awesome and Kirsten too. Although, JJ has a more physical job, Kirsten helps with writing. I do miss Hotch though. I've watched this show from day 1, as I did with Bones, it stinks when we lose our favorite characters. Bones handled cast changes much better, imo.

I'm very disappointed that Gupton is leaving the show; I was intrigued by the character and thought he had a lot of potential.
