When Cote de Pablo Left ‘NCIS’ the Second Time, She Virtually Disappeared

Cote de Pablo delighted NCIS fans when she suddenly returned in the closing minutes of the season 16 finale. As fan-favorite Ziva David, she returned as a recurring character in season 17 for four episodes and retconned her supposed off-screen death. De Pablo’s return, however, was brief. And since she left NCIS the second time, she’s virtually disappeared.

Cote de Pablo was not an original ‘NCIS’ cast member

Now in its 20th season, NCIS dates back to 2003 when Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Dr. Ducky Mallard (David McCallum), and Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) were introduced as members of a team from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service on the series JAG.
