Abby’s Return? Pauley Perrette Could Reprise Her Role in Tony & Ziva’s NCIS Spinoff!
Pauley Perrette’s departure from NCIS faced criticism, but the show managed to write her character, Abby, out by having her leave after a traumatic incident involving a hitman and the death of MI6 Agent Clayton Reeves, who died protecting her. Abby moved to the United Kingdom to establish a nonprofit in Reeves’ name, honoring his legacy while coping with her trauma.
With Michael Weatherly’s Tony DiNozzo returning in NCIS Season 21 and teaming up with Cote de Pablo’s Ziva for their own spinoff, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, there’s a perfect opportunity for Abby’s return. The spinoff will follow Tony and Ziva as they navigate Europe with their daughter, Tali, while being pursued by unknown forces. Trust will be crucial, and Abby, a loyal and trusted ally, would be an ideal addition to their team.
Despite her conflicts with Mark Harmon, Perrette maintains positive relationships with her other former NCIS co-stars, making her comeback possible. NCIS: Tony & Ziva has the potential to bring back the beloved character Abby, much to the delight of fans.
