Emily Wickersham Spills Tea on Shocking NCIS Exit – Unbelievable Revelation!

After a seven-season stint as Eleanor “Ellie” Bishop on NCIS, Emily Wickersham bid a farewell at the conclusion of season 18. Initially not disclosing the reason for her departure, Wickersham later revealed her pregnancy on Instagram, alluding to personal reasons behind the decision.

In the season finale titled “Rule 91,” Bishop’s departure unfolded as she leaked a confidential NSA file, orchestrated by ex-CIA instructor Odette Malone. This unexpected plot twist set the stage for an undercover mission, leaving the door open for Bishop’s potential return. Wickersham’s exit marked another significant departure, following others like Mark Harmon as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Maria Bello as Forensic Psychologist Jack Sloane.
