NCIS has shared some new photos of series star Mark Harmon and his real-life wife Pam Dawber, who is joining the show for a few upcoming episodes. The photos, which come amid rumors that Harmon is planning to exit the show, reveal Harmon’s Leroy Gibbs meets Dawber’s character in a diner. The episode that the new photos are from will be the first of four that Dawber is starring in alongside Harmon.
Dawber is playing a character named Marcie Warren, who is described
as “a seasoned investigative journalist who uses her savvy wit and
down-to-earth people sk1lls to aid in her tireless pursuit of truth.”
Gibbs is currently on an indefinite suspension for nearly beating a man
to death after finding out that the man ran a dogfighting ring where he
k+++++d the losing dogs. In the wake of Gibbs’ forced leave, “Vance
assigns McGee, Torres and Bishop to C++++++D compliance duty at a
foreign affairs summit, where they discover a link to another NCIS
team’s m+.+.+.+.+r case.”
It is unclear what role Dawber’s character will play in Gibbs’ life, but
perhaps she enters as a new love interest? Or maybe, she is someone who
can help with a case? Whatever the future may hold for Gibb, fans will
have to tune in to find out. NCIS returns on Tuesday, April 6, at 8 p.m.
ET.
There are only a handful of episodes left for NCIS Season 18, and there is currently no official word regarding whether or not the series is being renewed for Season 19. It has been speculated that the delay might be due to Harmon planning to exit the show. It is said that CBS may not be interested in continuing NCIS should Harmon choose to leave.
In February, Hollywood Reporter editor Lesley Goldberg stated that
Harmon “is rumored to be ready to leave, but would be willing to return
for a handful of episodes if CBS renews it for a 19th season.” At this
time, Harmon has not issued a statement on the matter. CBS has also not
released comments on the situation.
While the fate of the original NCIS is still up in the air, NCIS: New Orleans, a spinoff of the long-running series, has already been canceled. In February, series lead Scott Bakula took to social media to share the news. “Sad to end our love affair with this phenomenal city but so grateful for all the friends we made along the way.” Bakula added, “I will miss the music. Big thank you to CBS for seven years.”
