NCIS Season 23 Finally Sets Up the Perfect New Role for Kasie
Just as the team is getting settled into its rhythm, four years after Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ (Mark Harmon) departure in NCIS Season 19, the Navy procedural is teasing a new direction for Kasie Hines (Diona Reasonover). The forensic scientist has been with the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) for the last seven years, officially joining Gibbs and company in Season 16 after Abby Sciuto’s (Pauley Perrette) departure in NCIS Season 15. Abby is doubtlessly one of the most popular NCIS characters, but Kasie has been an excellent successor.

NCIS Season 23 teases new developments for the team’s forensic scientist, amid a formative installment for Alden Parker’s (Gary Cole) MCRT. The team leader nearly died on the Quentin amid the hunt for Carla Marino (Rebecca De Mornay). Although Parker has reunited with the team, there’s tension with Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), who has assigned Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) to special projects. While things have slowed down for McGee (Sean Murray) and Jimmy (Brian Dietzen), Kasie is heating up.
