The procedural procedure has long been one of the genres of network television. When you finish efficiently (in the eyes of viewers, at least), they can last for decades and launch multiple spin-offs that make Gazilion dollars for creatives and suits. What is the secret of making long -term procedural? In the case of the Broadcasting War, known as "law and order", one should hit a unique narrative format (ie the criminal justice system, viewed by the street and court level) and hit a large casting selection. For shows as unintentional formulas like CBS's "NCIS", it is enough to hit the Big IC on every casting selection and to soak in a favorable place of the broadcast (in this case, on Tuesday night at 8 pm for 18 rights seasons).

Initially, Mark Harmon's special agent, Leroy Ethetro Gibbs, was an anchor of the series. California's solar hunting with sandy hair and blue eyes began his television as Dr. Robert Caldwell at "St. Elsewhere "before flirting with a movie Ardwarr in films such as" Summer School "," Primidio "and" Winning. "After all, he retired on television with a 95-episode running at Chicago Hope, who established his broadcast Bona-Fides and made the perfect casting for NCIS.

But while the TV status of now the gray hair of Harmon was the draw, its familiar presence alone would not be enough to get the show during a season. To trap a loyal audience, the series needed a supporting ensemble to beat viewers. Clearly, the crunchy chemistry of people like Sarah Alexander, Michael Temali, now retired Pauli PereettAnd David McCallum made the trick, and then some. But "NCIS", Like the same but differentiated "bones" It was not done in building its ensemble in its first season. Manufacturers and writers continued to expand their law enforcement universe by introducing intriguing new characters that were brought to life with attractive actors. One of the most popular of these secondary characters was Ivaiva David played by Cot de Pablo. Written in the series during the 3rd season, Ivaiva played a key role in a very episode, until he was surprised by fans by leaving the show after 11 season. What caused her to go away (and what eventually returned)?

For those who skipped the Jameses Joshimura, Tom Fontana and the short -lived Berry Levinson's "Thiyrito" legal system, Kot de Pablo was a fresh face when he appeared at NFIS as a qualified and fairly deadly agent of Mosad. That full gap left after the shocking murder of Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) at the end of the season 2 and became popular enough for fans that writers chased from Mosad and made a full -fledged special agent.

From the very beginning of her series, Ivaiva was written as a LOVEUBEUBER interest in Tony Dinoco on Weatherly, and the actors have delivered more than the romantic heat. Their "whether they have not" tightened and declines for various reasons (they both had problems with dedication and entered into relationships with others), but all this stalled in preservation when De Pablo announced that he was leaving NCIS after the end of the season 11.

At that time, she said TV guide That her "frightening" choice was a "personal thing" and left it. But a few years later, she became specific about why she had split ways with the show that began her career in gluttony.

The Q&A in 2016De Pablo shared the following for her difficult decision to leave NCIS:

"Look, I love this character. I worked for eight years, making this character and loved it. And so when I felt or realized that the character was not treated with the respect she deserved, all the money in the world could not buy (me). And I didn't think it's fair.

NFIS's writers have clearly used De Pablo's comments, as, at the beginning of season 16, Ziva returned to Badas' action after being assumed dead by her former colleagues. De Pablo gave up the show after the 17th season, but apparently there were no heavy feelings this time because she should return to NCIS: Tony and Ziva this year. This would be the series "Sixth Spinoff", and the franchise would never be found there unless they took the development of their characters seriously (nor could it survive The departure of Harmon after season 19).
