‘NCIS’ Season 16 Will Find Mark Harmon’s Gibbs In A New Role After Pauley Perrette Drama

is returning to CBS for season 16, and it will pick up one month after the season 15 finale “Date With Destiny.” In last season’s final episode, Special Agent Jack Sloan (Maria Bello) was certain that Nigel Hakim (Pej Vahdat) — the man who had held her hostage and tortured her in Afghanistan ten years earlier — was in Washington D.C. and hadn’t been killed as everyone believed. And, all it took was for Agent Sloan to know he was alive was to hear Hakim’s voice.

But, when Agent Sloan and Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), and Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) were preparing to take Hakim into custody, they discovered he had left the country on another flight. But, Gibbs made a promise to Sloan that they would get him.

The face you make when you realize EVERY EPISODE of #NCIS is available to binge on CBS All Access! Happy binging!

At the same time, Director Vance had been kidnapped. And, as season 16 begins with the episode “Destiny’s Child,” Gibbs is the acting director while the team searches the world to find Vance. And, showrunner Frank Cardea hints that the season will also build on the relationship between Torres and Bishop. He says that their slow-boiling relationship may finally take a step forward this year.

“Torres and Bishop sort of… become close. We’re glancing in that direction. If you go back in

history, the ‘Tiva’ thing took many years to develop,” says Cardea.

points out, that doesn’t mean Torres and Bishop’s tension and chemistry will for sure turn into a romance. Cardea does use the words “glance” and “close.” But, there is definitely hope that they could get together.

Having a popular “will they, won’t they” couple on a show can definitely keep fans invested, so they will have to wait for the possible Torres and Bishop romance to play out. But, chances are fans won’t mind waiting for the fireworks as long as it has a better outcome than the Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David romantic storyline.

And, of course, there will be a new full-time cast member on the show since Pauley Perrette left the show at the end of last season. Diona Reasonover will be playing forensic scientist Kasie Hines, taking the place of Perrette’s Abby Sciuto.

Since Ziva left the show is not the same. I miss Tony’s humor. No one should bring an biting animal to work, I agree with Abbey.

Abbey I did like, but after making accusations I do not believe her. She is a wiener and a cry baby. She should of said there was a problem when she was on NCIS. She just black balled herself from future jobs. I would not want to work with her.

I agree. The show has never been the same since Ziva left. Then Tony. I tried to watch but no interest. Now Abby left because Mark Harmon won’t leave a DOG that BITES. I would be afraid out it also.

I watch NCIS LA. Best show along with Blue Bloods.

If there’s going to be any kind of romance I think Duckie should have a romantic interest it’s about time he’s find somebody to love

I always liked Abby up until this year. I think the final episode where she wouldn’t even be in the same room with Gibbs was pathetic. Seems like she became a diva over a dog and not getting her way. Good luck. Good bye. I LOVE GIBBS!

Need to bring back Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo. No romance can ever replace that one and especially now there is a child. You ruined the whole show by allowing them to leave.

Perhaps a miracle “Ziva still alive”……..just in danger??? Come on – get with it….they were very strong characters.

So was Pauley Perretti….Abby….so what she and Harmon had a blow out??? Who the hell cares…..she was 40% of that show. Get with it and bring the three characters back. I have stopped watching since “Ziva” left. Watch every once in a while to update myself….hate it.

USED to be biggest NCIS fan until they lost Ziva. I like Gibbs but come on. Abbey is IRREPLACEABLE!!!! WHY did he have to bring the dog to work?? I love & have animals but if my dog had viciously (not a nip) bit someone, I would not have the AUDACITY to bring him back. Seems to me Perrette was being the responsible one. Do these people think that her caring about the safety of herself & her castmates makes her a diva? Get real. Hiring all these others (l’ve enjoyed them on other shows) but it’s never had the chemistry it did with Abbey, DiNozo and Ziva. Still love Tim & Jimmy. Bishop doesn’t cut it.
