Pauley Perrette\u2019s character, Abby Sciuto, had a clear path for returning to the NCIS franchise, but a recent update has now closed off this possibility. Over the years, NCIS has seen many characters depart and some return, but Abby, the original forensic scientist, hasn\u2019t been back since she left in season 15. Although CBS has brought back key members of Gibbs\u2019 team, like Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo, Abby\u2019s return seems less likely now. Despite ongoing discussions about possible comebacks, this new development has ended the most straightforward way for Abby to rejoin the team.<\/p>\n

NCIS: Tony & Ziva Cast Update Casts Doubt on Abby\u2019s Return<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The return of Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo to the NCIS series created an opportunity for Pauley Perrette\u2019s character, Abby Sciuto, to return via the spinoff \u201cNCIS: Tony & Ziva.\u201d The plot, which has the couple on the run across Europe, would logically require assistance from familiar pals, making Abby an excellent possibility given her suspected position in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, given their previous quarrel, this would have been Perrette\u2019s shortest path back to the series, avoiding the risk of working with Mark Harmon.<\/p>\n

However, with the full cast for \u201cNCIS: Tony & Ziva\u201d now revealed, this possibility seems unlikely. The new team includes Maximilian Osinski as Boris, a Russian ex-pat and computer hacker, filling the role Abby might have occupied in Tony and Ziva\u2019s European escapades. This effectively closes the door on Abby\u2019s potential return through this spinoff.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How Abby Could Still Reunite with Tony & Ziva in Their NCIS Spinoff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abby might potentially reconcile with Tony and Ziva in their NCIS spinoff provided she uses her computer abilities and forensic ability to help the couple identify their targets. While she is unlikely to have a permanent position or lab like she did at Navy Yard, a guest appearance would be a nice return for her character.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
