The star rejoined Harmon and the current NCIS cast members for the midseason finale, and left fans speculating about a highly anticipated reunion between Ziva and her former love interest, Special Agent Anthony (Tony), played by Michael Weatherly. Harmon, 68, who famously plays show lead Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, raved about having de Pablo back on the series. “You forget the energy she brought and how special this character is in many ways and how, in so many ways, it completes the show,” he told ET.
And while de Pablo said she was thrilled to be back on set, she revealed that leaving the show this time around wouldn’t be as difficult. “It’s a different walk away and I’ll leave it at that,” she told the outlet. “It’s a beautiful walk away.” RELATED VIDEO: ‘NCIS’ Star Mark Harmon Reveals the Secret to His Long-Lasting Success: ‘You Earn Luck Prior to her return, executive producer Steven D. Binder told ET that they dived deep into Ziva’s character story to find something that would merit her reprisal and wouldn’t be “just a cheap publicity shot.” “We, as a staff, spent quite a bit of time trying to find a story that fit. We wanted it to be full,” Binder explained. “We wanted to use the show’s DNA, something that touched on Cote’s entire run on the show — from the circumstances of her first arriving to things that happened with the character.” “We wanted to use that as the raw material,” he added. “We had one final meeting with Cote where we discussed these things and whether it was something that she was interested in, and you know the answer to that.” The next episode of NCIS airs on Jan. 7, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
