NCIS Just Killed The Easiest Way For Pauley Perrette’s Return As Abby

A new update just killed the easiest and arguably the best way for Pauley Perrette’s Abby Sciuto to return to the NCIS franchise. CBS’ TV universe isn’t new to characters leaving. The Major Case Response Team, in particular, has seen its fair share of departures, with NCIS season 21 no longer having any original members. With that, comebacks are also nothing unique. Several people who have once left somehow find their way back for all kinds of reasons. More than two years after Mark Harmon’s exit, there are still conversations about when Leroy Jethro Gibbs will return to Navy Yard.

CBS has already brought back key members of what’s widely known as Gibbs’ best NCIS team. Ziva David reunited with Gibbs for a mini-arc in season 17, while Tony DiNozzo came back for Ducky Mallard’s special tribute episode in season 21. One character who has yet to step her foot back in the MCRT bullpen is Abby. NCIS’ original forensic scientist and computer genius hasn’t reunited with her old co-workers since leaving the agency in season 15. Briefly, the path of Abby’s NCIS return was clear, but now, a new update just killed it.
