Unveiled: The Jaw-Dropping Plan to Write Ducky Out of NCIS Season 21 That Will Leave You Stunned!
As the writers’ strike concludes and SAG-AFTRA re-enters negotiations with the studios, fans are already speculating about what could unfold in NCIS Season 21. Although the season is slated for 2024, enthusiasts are crafting their own hypotheses for the upcoming developments.
The passing of David McCallum, who portrayed Ducky, in September at the age of 90, is a significant loss for NCIS fans and McCallum enthusiasts. As the only remaining original cast member, his absence will undoubtedly leave a void.
The 20th season left viewers on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Nick Torres contemplating a life-altering decision, putting his career in jeopardy. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Torres will navigate this situation and what ramifications it might have for the rest of the team.
Addressing Ducky’s death will be a key element in the upcoming season. Ideally, the show should explore this loss through natural causes, allowing the team to focus on mourning Ducky without intertwining it with a new case.
With the void left by Ducky’s passing, the show is likely to delve into how each character copes with grief. For newcomers Parker and Knight, the impact may be less profound, but Torres, Jimmy, and McGee will undoubtedly feel the loss deeply.
The unresolved storyline surrounding Torres, who threatened someone’s life in the Season 20 finale, remains a significant point of interest. Speculations suggest Torres might choose not to carry out the act but instead embark on a mission to uncover the individual’s actions against his family, seeking assistance from his sister and Bishop.
The relationship between Palmer and Knight is poised for further exploration. The possibility of them living together is on the table, or they may decide to strengthen their family unit. While a proposal might be unlikely, fans are eager to witness the progression of their relationship.
In the aftermath of Ducky’s death, the return of various figures from the past to mourn is anticipated. A video call with Mark Harmon as Gibbs or appearances from Tony and Ziva would be a poignant tribute appreciated by fans.
McGee’s writing career is also expected to see development, with the potential for him to draw inspiration from his experiences, including Ducky’s death, for a new novel.
Lastly, fans are hopeful for another crossover with NCIS: Hawaii, possibly involving Torres’s current plot or Knight traveling to Hawaii to provide closure for Ernie’s love interest.
