Since her character was written out of "CSI: Miami," Kim Delaney has continued to be a steady working actor. She even returned to one of her most famous roles, Detective Diane Russell, on a few episodes of "NYPD Blue" in 2003. She would later return to this role once more in 2019 for the "NYPD Blue" reboot.
In 2007, Delaney starred in six seasons of the hit Lifetime series "Army Wives" as Claudia Joy Holden, the most maternal of the wives stationed at Fort Marshall. Come Season 7, Claudia died off-screen due to heart failure, totaling Delaney's episode count at 104 episodes. After leaving "Army Wives," Delaney appeared in the Lifetime original "Betting on the Bride" and the short-lived Crackle original "The Oath."
Most recently, she co-starred as Jackie Templeton on 45 episodes of the soap opera "General Hospital" and even scored a Daytime Emmy nomination. With such a long career, Delaney has some advice to share with upcoming actors. As she told Digital Journal in 2021, "never give up, stay focused."
