NCIS Casting News (Spoilers regarding cast change)

It will be interesting without him since he has been there so long. If Abby quits Im out of there though!

 

His main function has been comic relief but McGee and Sciuto can fill that gap. I hope they don't just try to employ a direct replacement, but rather (perhaps) add a new character that goes in a completely different direction.

Or perhaps, assuming they know long enough in advance that NCIS:LA is ending, one of the OSP agents could transfer over to the Navy yard. Nah... that won't work. It's hard to see any of the OSP agents as regular investigators working for Gibbs.

 

I really, really wish Abby would leave, preferably in some crazy way that ensures there's no chance she can come back. Her character hasn't grown at all. Same childish behavior as day 1. McGee can't carry the show. They'll have to be bringing in someone else in that stronger position of Gibbs team or NCIS is probably on its last legs. It won't work with a new "probie" and McGee in charge.

I read somewhere they were going to add two new full time characters.

 

I wonder if he wanted to leave or if they are giving him the boot?

 

After so many years, I have to believe he wanted to leave. As long as he stays, he's a second banana. He could crash and burn in his future pursuits, but he's almost surely got enough money by now and at least he has a shot at being a lead on some other series.

 

He said it was his decision...

 

Maybe Tony will fall back in love with Jeanne Benoit.

 

I've seen Weatherly in guest appearances on other shows and he's still DiNozzo no matter what part he tries to play. I just can't see him being a lead in his own show. Being in a weekly network series is grueling work so I can't blame him if he wants to retire. NCIS is still one of the few long-running shows that I still watch (the original, not the spinoffs). I'd probably still watch it if there are cast changes, but only if the chemistry's there. So far the changes they've made haven't seemed to hurt the quality of the show.

 

This, so much this.

 

I've read he has a development deal with CBS. His contract is up at the end of the season. 13 years is a long time. Might as well take the opportunity to try something new.

I'll spoileize but I'm only referring to shows which have aired

Spoiler

Tony split with his current AFT girlfriend, Jeanne Benoit is happily married and Tony's ex fiance is "resolved" Sounds like they're setting up a Tony and Ziva ending.

 

I don't really watch NCIS, but this news was all over social media and the morning news shows.

 

I wonder if NCIS has an office in Israel that Tony can be promoted to head up. That way he and Ziva can have a 'happily ever after'

 

Tony turned down a promotion that would have given him his own team. In Naples, Italy, I think. HQ of US Sixth Fleet. At least it's on the Med.

 

Last summer I rewatched Dark Angel via dvd netflix. I liked him it in, almost hard to believe it was the same actor, he did a good job.

 

I'd be for them bringing in Abigail Borin as the newest member of Gibbs's team - similar to when CSI brought in Raymond Langston (a veteran of criminology who starts as a level one CSI). Have Borin with all her experience become the newest probie.

 

An opportunity that could perhaps come 'round again - but I doubt the producers will give him such a pastoral send-off.

 

Tony turned down an opportunity to run the NCIS office in Rota, Spain.

Perhaps they could bring back Stan Burley (played by Joel Gretsch), who worked under Gibbs before Tony arrived. The show probably will rotate through a few candidates before settling on the permanent replacement. I don't think Abigail Borin would work -- she's too much like Gibbs.

I would like to see Cote de Pablo make a guest appearance in the season finale, so that Tony and Ziva can have the same send-off that Julianna Margulies and George Clooney had in Margulies' last episode on E.R.

 

I just watched the 2-part crossover of NCIS /NCIS New Orleans. I wonder if they're bringing Cassidy Freeman onboard like they did with Cote de Pablo as kind of a foreign intelligence officer that joined their ranks.

I hadn't watched NCIS: NO since the pilot episode. The one guy that's on the team has the worst forced Cajun/Southern accent I've ever heard. What is it with the headquarters in LA and NO? Can't they afford actual office space for their agents? It's like they're holed up in some secret lair.
