NCIS’s Returning Star Breaks Silence On Shock Season 23 Return 5 Years Later
On the heels of their shock return in the season 23 fall finale, NCIS’s former series regular breaks silence on their comeback. As if the ongoing year hasn’t already been packed for MCRT, CBS drops a major twist before the procedural goes on its winter hiatus for the 2025-2026 TV season. The surprise involves the return of a familiar face, which is quite exciting
NCIS season 23 has been leaning on nostalgia for its storytelling, and for good measure. The show has been on the air for over two decades, so there’s no scarcity of old characters and plots to mine narrative inspiration from. Not long after Roma Maffia’s comeback as older Vera Strickland, CBS brings in a much bigger character back with the unexpected re-emergence of Ellie Bishop.Taking it to her official Instagram account, Emily Wickersham addresses her return by reposting the sentimental video originally shared by Wilmer Valderrama, who plays her former partner and almost romantic interest, Nick Torres. The clip sees Valderrama sitting on a filming chair, and when he is called for his take, it is revealed to be Wickersham’s, confirming that she is offically back on set. In the comment section of the same post, Wickersham also responded with a series of emojis: “🙋🏼♀️🏴☠️”. Check out the post below:
