CBS will air the first episode of NCIS season 17 next week, which will see the return of Ziva David (played by Cote de Pablo). With Ziva coming back, fans are wondering whether she will be reunited with people like her former partner Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and their daughter, Tali (Emelia and Layla Golfieri). A recent interview with de Pablo and Gibbs star Mark Harmon included a number of hints about whether Tali will appear again in the new series of NCIS.

Will Ziva David be reunited with Tali in NCIS?

Ziva’s relationship with her family and the sacrifices she made to protect them will be central to the first two episodes of NCIS season 17.

This was hinted in de Pablo and Harmon’s interview with TV Insider earlier in September.

In this interview, de Pablo said: “I don’t think Ziva and Tony have seen each other or communicated in a long time.

“Tali was delivered to him [by Mossad], and that was the end of it.”

However, she followed this up by saying: “Don’t ask any questions, dot-dot-dot, to be continued,” suggesting this will be central to the upcoming episodes.

The last time we saw Tony, he was in Paris to collect Tali after Ziva “died” following an explosion at her Israeli compound.

If Ziva has not seen Tony for years, she is also unlikely to have seen her daughter since she faked her own death.

De Pablo seemed to confirm this when she said: “She’s also trying to keep her daughter a secret and safe from the people who are trying to get to Gibbs and to her.”

In an interview with Parade, NCIS showrunner Steven Binder said: “If you look at the things we know; we know she had a daughter, and the daughter was sent to live with Tony.

“It’s unknown whether or not she’s been involved with Tony or not.

“But, certainly, if she has, Tony hasn’t called the team up and said she’s alive.

“So, there would have to be something very serious hanging over her own head, not just Gibbs’.

“Just from the available facts, you can add up the idea that there’s someone out there that’s so bad, that’s so dangerous, that she had to go undercover and leave her daughter behind, at least for a period of time.”

As such, Tali will be central to Ziva’s return, though it is less certain whether she will actually appear in the series.

After all, Tali is unlikely to appear without Tony, and the actor who played him amy have been too busy to film a cameo.

When asked if Weatherly will make an appearance, Harmon said: “Michael is a little busy at the moment,” with de Pablo adding, “He’s shooting a procedural.”

Last time we saw Tali, in 2016, she was around one or two years old, meaning she would now be around five or six.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
