It’s not easy to be a fan of “NCIS.”
No exit was more dramatic, or heartbreaking for fans than Pauley Perrette throwing in the towel.
Thankfully, most of the cast members who have exited left on better terms.
To say the least!
The show saw Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) narrowly escape death.
At the time, Harmon was one of the few remaining long-term cast members.
Losing him at that time would have been shocking.
Of course, now we know he has decided to step away from the show.
However, it was the fate suffered by Ellie Bishop that was most surprising and confusing to fans.
Well, actually, that wasn’t true.
It was the story to hide an undercover mission she was on.
She was acting as the part of an agent on the run.
“Hangin' this hat and jacket up.
What a great ride it’s been.”
And just like that, another character was gone.
