A script written by a Frankfort native will appear on Monday’s episode of “CSI: Miami.”
Melissa Scrivner, a 1998 graduate of Frankfort High School, penned the episode titled “Bolt Action.” According to a press release from CBS, it tells the story of “three volleyball players who mysteriously drop dead on the court.”
Georgene Scrivner says this will be her daughter’s first writing credit on the show. She previously worked as an assistant on the series “Pepper Dennis” and “Life.”
“This is really pretty nice. It was really exciting when she got staffed on ‘CSI,’” Georgene said last week from her Frankfort home.
“Writing has always been a lifetime goal. … Once she got involved in the industry, she fell in love with it.”
Scrivner graduated from Vanderbilt University and earned a master’s degree at New York University before moving to Los Angeles five years ago.
Georgene and her husband, Michael, don’t have big plans for watching Monday’s episode, but they’ve already set their digital video recorder.
She admits the couple didn’t watch the show, now in its eighth season, until their daughter joined the staff.
“My husband says it’s now his favorite,” she said.
The episode airs at 10 p.m. on CBS.
