Fans are hoping that Pauley Perrette may reprise her role as Abby Sciuto on ‘NCIS,’ but this is improbable. Despite reports, Perrette has said that she will not return, and the show’s 20th season is unlikely to include her character.
The Producer of ‘NCIS’ Teases Pauley Perrette’s Return as Abby Sciuto.
Mark Harmon’s retirement from NCIS has fans wondering what will happen to other favorite characters, such as Pauley Perrette’s Abby Sciuto.
Steven D. Binder, the show’s producer, expresses a desire to bring Abby back into the fold and honor her character’s legacy.
“I’d like to begin involving Abby’s character more,” Binder told TV Line. “She’s still out there fighting the good fight and keeping an eye on us.”
While Binder’s enthusiasm is obvious, Perrette’s comeback is doubtful. Nonetheless, fans can’t help but want for a reunion with one of NCIS’ most recognizable characters.”
One Major Impediment to Pauley Perrette’s Return to ‘NCIS’ is Mark Harmon.
Pauley Perrette, who played forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on NCIS for 15 seasons, confronts challenges in returning to the show.
Her resignation from NCIS was due to controversial circumstances, with Perrette citing safety concerns on set, including an incident in which Mark Harmon’s dog bit a crew member.
Despite the desire of producer Frank Binder to see Perrette back on the show, Harmon, who holds significant creative control as an executive producer, remains a major obstacle. Perrette’s public criticism of Harmon’s role in creating an unsafe work environment complicates any potential reconciliation.
Perrette’s departure from Hollywood further reduces the chances of her return, cutting out guest appearances and the usage of archive film. Given these reasons, the chances of Perrette reprising her role as Abby on NCIS look remote.
Perrette maintains friendships with some of her former co-stars.
Perrette stays close to ex-co-stars. She and Brian Dietzen reunited over summer, seen in a Twitter photo. She’s also stayed friends with Michael Weatherly, defending him amidst controversy.
Despite Harmon being an obstacle, fans hope for Perrette’s return to NCIS.
