The Real Reason This NCIS Character Left

Eighteen seasons in, and CBS mega-hit NCIS is still going strong. Actors have come and gone over the years, but the show itself doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. Part of that longevity seems to come from the influx of new blood to replace actors who feel that it's time to move on to different things. One such actor that won't be appearing in NCIS again anytime soon is Emily Wickersham, who's played Eleanor Bishop since season 11. Fans don't need to worry; there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between her and the cast and crew of the show. Why did Emily Wickersham leave NCIS? Here's your answer.

Emily posted a photo, looking adorable as always, with a pronounced baby bump, and another showing an apparently happy and healthy little one. She was put in a tough situation when Cote dePablo quit the show five days before Season 11 was to begin filming. Given a basic outline of the role, she created a character that grew on me. She played out her contract and allowed for CBS to have her replacement ready; a true professional. At 36, she probably figured she needed the break to have a baby (Sasha Alexander did the same after Season 2), and has enough income to let it happen. Best of luck, darlin'!

I thought the series took a major downturn when they killed off Jenny the "director" of NCIS and the past history and personal emotional connection she and Gibbs shared from their past and also their present. Added a lot to the show and why they intereacted with each other like they did. As the show has continued to kill off longterm friendships and characters that have affected each other for much of the shows life each time they take away a little or a lot of what made the show great depending on the character that they killed off or that left. Today the show is just a shell of what it once was and really time for it to end.

And when they attempted to go a familiar route in creating a similar romantic storyline like Tony/Ziva with Bishop/Torres, I thought I wouldn't mind if Bishop left the show.

[@jamescstanley5018]

Sorry to see her go, but as a working actress she is in danger of being typecast early in her career, not a good thing. Mark Harmon is over 60, so NCIS is fine for his "sunset years", indeed, he is now to old to be a field agent, and should retire, but that could finish the series. My solution would be for him to become operations director of NCIS when Vance follows the advice of the congresswoman and moves to politics. The admin director would be the guy who stood in for Leon when his wife was killed, this would widen the cases Gibbs worked. i have noticed over the years that NCIS looks at social problems, homeless vets etc, highlighting many issues, with Leon in Congress the social inequities of those leaving and serving could be highlighted. A grat series which I hope will last many more years!

Who put the explosives in Gibb's boat and when did they put it there?

[@Nancy-fm1ie]

Season 18 of NCIS was a mess due to Mark Harmon's bad choices of putting crew members in pitbulls danger. The popular brave Pauly Perrette was forced off NCIS because she was the only cast member w the guts to call Mark Harmon's pitbull a DANGER when a crew member needed 16 stitches on his face from Harmon's pitbull. Maria Bello and Emily Wickersham left too. I now believe, despite what either of these two women say, that they left too because of the pitbull danger. I am just finishing Season 18 on DVD and there are at least 3 pitbulls that have been in the last 4-5 episodes. Mark Harmon ruined NCIS because of his love of pitbulls, which have the highest kill rate of humans of any dog. I used to love the role of Gibbs but Harmon clearly doesn't have enuf awareness of what is going on in the USA regarding all the pitbull maulings. 700 stitches on one woman, 5,000 stitches on another woman on Christmas Day, disemboweling of children. What a terrible role model Harmon ended up becoming.
