The long-running TV drama NCIS has seen numerous character changes and some challenging behind-the-scenes moments. Let’s dive into a particular character’s tumultuous return to the show.

Cote de Pablo’s Return to NCIS: Cote de Pablo, who played Ziva David, became a beloved part of the show even after joining in the second season. Her exit from the show left fans and herself disappointed due to the character’s development. However, she made a brief return after a few years, and this wasn’t a smooth journey either. Despite being a fitness enthusiast, the physically demanding role took a toll on her stamina, leaving her exhausted.

The Exit and Return: Cote’s departure was amicable, but the reason for leaving was primarily due to her character’s direction. She felt it didn’t do justice to Ziva’s role. In 2019, when the writers finally crafted an appropriate return for her, it was challenging for Cote to fit back into the role.

Grueling Fight Scenes: NCIS is known for its action sequences, and the actors often perform their stunts. However, these scenes are physically demanding, and Cote found the fight sequences exhausting. Rehearsing the same sequence for hours was tough, even for a gym enthusiast like her.

A Possible Return: There are hopes for Ziva’s return in the upcoming 20th season of NCIS, especially with Michael Weatherly reprising his role as Tony DiNozzo. Fans look forward to seeing Ziva shine again with well-crafted material.

In other news, Pauley Perrette opened up about her recovery from a stroke she suffered a year earlier, Mark Harmon explained his aversion to social media, and NCIS Hawaii’s Tori Anderson discussed challenges faced due to the height difference in her scenes.
