Many fans also expressed their support for Dietzen who has been in the drama since its very early days.
“Brian has written a few others that have been very good. Not bad for our autopsy gremlin!”, a follower said.
Another commented: “Really proud of Brian, one of 3 original cast members left. From autopsy grinlyn to writer”
This will be the second episode that Dietzen has co-written after helping bring season 19’s The Helper to life last year.
The Helper introduced fans to Jimmy’s daughter Victoria Palmer (Elle Graper) for the first time since she was a baby.
He brought her to work for the day when he and Kasie Hines (Diona Reasonover) were exposed to a deadly biotoxin.
It was up to the team to try and find them the antidote before it was too late and fans were touched by some emotional scenes between Jimmy and Victoria.
The second of Dietzen’s co-written episodes will instead focus on Agent Alden Parker (Gary Cole).
