Gibbs’ Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed: Fans Won’t Believe the Answers! Click to Uncover the Truth!

Fans of “NCIS” were left reeling when Mark Harmon’s iconic character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, announced his retirement in the fourth episode of the 19th season, titled “Great Wide Open.” While Gary Cole stepped into the role admirably, many fans found Gibbs’ departure abrupt, given his legendary status on the show. This wasn’t the first time Gibbs had contemplated leaving; he had previously walked away after a terrorist attack before eventually returning. With Harmon hinting at a potential exit and Gibbs nearing 70, speculation about his future intensified.

Wilmer Valderrama’s Instagram post announcing the show’s return ignited disappointment among fans, who were left wondering about Gibbs’ whereabouts. Although hopes for his comeback in Season 19 seemed slim, creators haven’t completely closed the door on his return, leaving room for future appearances.

Gibbs’ retirement to Alaska, where he builds yachts, has left followers questioning his motivations, particularly his habit of burning his creations. Some theories suggest it serves as a means for him to unwind and symbolizes closure in past relationships, especially with his daughter Kelly.

Another long-standing mystery surrounding Gibbs was how he managed to get his boats out of his basement. Finally revealed in Season 19, Gibbs removed them through a hidden wall panel, much to the delight of fans who had speculated about the logistics for years.

Gibbs’ love for strong coffee, often mistaken for Starbucks, remains a defining trait of his character. While Harmon himself doesn’t drink coffee on set, his portrayal of Gibbs’ coffee addiction remains a beloved aspect of the character.
