NCIS star Cote de Pablo couldn’t have been more grateful to play special agent Ziva David. But she admitted that there were certain aspects to her character she would’ve liked to have tweaked slightly.

De Pablo spent a lot of time with NCIS’s Ziva David. She played the character for a consecutive eight years before taking a long hiatus from the procedural. But de Pablo wasn’t exactly like her NCIS counterpart, as there were more than a few differences between the two. Ziva’s emotions could sometimes be very suppressed in NCIS, which might’ve partially stopped the character from expressing her true feelings for Michael Weatherly’s Tony Dinozzo a bit earlier. This was a strong contrast to de Pablo, who considered herself a very open person.

Over the years, NCIS has seen a lot of comings and goings, with some being respected and even celebrated by viewers, and others taking time to settle in. Even the most beloved characters today have struggled to shine through the judgment of fans back in the day, and Ziva David was one of them.
Right now, however, Cote de Pablo, who portrays Ziva, and Michael Weatherly, who portrays Tony Dinozzo, make up one of the most popular dynamics on NCIS. And learning that there was a good chance it would never happen makes fans even happier that it did.
When Did Ziva First Appear on NCIS?
Ziva David joined NCIS at the very beginning of season 3, right after her half-brother brutally murdered another agent, Caitlin Todd, portrayed by Sasha Alexander. Alexander's departure was a huge disappointment to the fanbase, so it was only natural that viewers did not warm up...

Weatherly agonized a bit over leaving NCIS. He’d built up a passionate fanbase in his 13 years on the hit show, and had a close professional bond with a few of his co-workers. Speaking with Extra, Weatherly confided that he had an epiphany sometime before his final season on the show. Weatherly jotted down ideas about his character Tony Dinozzo, and realized through his brainstorming that the special agent might’ve run its course.
“I wrote down a long series of ideas and feelings and everything. And I realized, ‘Oh, Dinozzo has to go.’ Like, it’s time for him to graduate,” Weatherly said.

Even though the majority of NCIS fans are happy to see Ziva and Tony together, and even more excited about the new spinoff that will focus entirely on their relationship, they are still cautious about the actors staying on for the long haul.
Given that both Cote de Pablo, who portrays Ziva, and Michael Weatherly, who portrays Tony, have left the franchise before, their comebacks are something viewers prefer to remain cautious about. This is especially true for de Pablo, who has never addressed the details of her decision to step away from the role.
Why Did Cote de Pablo Leave NCIS?
Back in 2013 fans of NCIS were shaken by the news of a fan-favorite character, a special agent Ziva David, exiting the show. Even though her character wasn’t initially loved and it took some time for the fans to warm up to her, throughout 8 years in NCIS she...

From an early age, we’re trained from media osmosis to expect, and to celebrate, performers who lord their power, their status, and their entitlement over us. We celebrate, with a certain degree of self-loathing, these peoples’ transformations from regular Joes to the icons we’re raised by television, magazines, and movies to want to be.
Talking Heads, the quartet consisting of David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, have a more centered, settled sensibility, one that somehow still doesn’t compromise the energy we expect and want from a good rip-roaring concert.

Paramount+ has brought back Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo for an NCIS spinoff about Tony and Ziva, and until now, it has remained untitled. But that has changed. A video shared on social media featuring Weatherly and de Pablo has revealed the title. It begins with Weatherly asking, “What’s the name of your new TV series? Is it NCIS: Europe?” De Pablo says no. “NCIS: Trust No One,” he suggests. “No, even though that’s a really good one,” she says. He encourages her to tell fans the title, and she does: NCIS: Tony & Ziva. “It makes it really easy because the fans will know exactly what the show is.

Weatherly joked about the characters’ complex relationship in an interview with Buzzfeed.
“Look at these guys! It’s like watching a scorpion and a black widow try and figure each other out,” he said. “Or a praying mantis and a black widow? One of them eats your head after it mates with you, right?...

First announced in early January, CBS has given a series order for “NCIS: Origins,” which takes place in 1991, years before the events of “NCIS” and follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (narrated by Mark Harmon) through his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks.

Paramount+ announced today that it has given a 10-episode series order for an untitled “NCIS” spinoff centered on the beloved characters Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David, with Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly (“Loving”) reprising the iconic roles.

There’s really no stopping the NCIS franchise. CBS Studios is developing yet another NCIS spinoff series, but this one will bring back two fan-favourite characters from the original series. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo are set to reprise their roles of Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David for a 10-episode series destined for the Paramount+ streaming service.
Cote de Pablo departed NCIS in 2013, with Michael Weatherly leaving two years later. After Ziva supposedly died, Tony left the service to raise their daughter, but when Ziva was found to be alive, the pair reunited in Paris after completing a final mission. That’s where the new show will pick up. Per the show’s logline, “When Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so that they...

The NCIS franchise is expanding again — with a pair of very familiar faces from its past.
Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly are set to star in an untitled, Paris-set spinoff of the series, reprising their roles as, respectively, Ziva David and Tony Dinozzo. The series order comes on the heels of Weatherly returning to the flagship CBS series last week as NCIS paid tribute to the late David McCallum.
De Pablo left NCIS in 2013, and Weatherly departed two years later. In the show’s story, Tony left the service to raise his and Ziva’s daughter after her supposed death. When she was discovered to be still alive years later (de Pablo made several guest appearances in season 17), she completed a final mission and was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris.

Though TVLine has made a case for why any number of cast members/characters from NCIS‘ past could/should return for any possible on-screen tribute to the late David McCallum, there are also very valid reasons why that RSVP list might turn out to be quite limited.

NCIS has said goodbye to many beloved characters over the years.
Sadly, the series will have to say goodbye to Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard following David McCallum's death in September.
CBS and those close to the show have yet to reveal whether a tribute episode is in the works, but there's no way the series will proceed without a fitting tribute to an actor who brought so much to the show.
For a series that's been on the air for 20 years, there has been a lot of cast turnover, meaning the show has an excellent opportunity to bring back some people who have been long gone to help say goodbye to Ducky.
But who should return for the big event?

The CBS hit NCIS continues with season 21 in the near future, and fans can’t wait to see who returns. In the past, the show has unexpectedly killed off several characters. And one NCIS actor wasn’t happy about how his character was killed, according to creators.
‘NCIS’ creators said actor Muse Watson was ‘very unhappy’ about getting killed off in season 8
Since NCIS started in 2003, fans have seen several of their favorite characters leave. As much as we’d love to see most of the characters make it through every season, the actors have their reasons for calling it quits. And sometimes, it’s not up to the actors at all. Instead, the creators have their own plans that go against everything that actors hope for.

NCIS is one of the most popular procedural dramas ever to air on network television. From the dramatic confrontations to the clever dialogue, the show seems to have it all. However, many fans love NCIS most for the interesting, dynamic characters that it introduced. Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David are undoubtedly two of the most enduring and popular. Played by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, respectively, Dinozzo and Ziva were both fan favorites who each endured their own share of trauma. They also shared red-hot chemistry onscreen, which led many fans to wonder if Weatherly and de Pablo ever dated behind the scenes.

With continued ratings erosion during NCIS Season 20, there were questions about whether the series would face a similar fate to NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
Both shows were canceled as their seasons aired, resulting in rush-job series finales that didn't satisfy fans.

New York, April 16 (Ians) A team of US engineers have developed a stretchable Oled display, which can bend in half or stretch to more than twice its original length while still emitting a fluorescent pattern.
The material, described in the journal Nature Materials, has a wide range of applications, from wearable electronics and health sensors to foldable computer screens.
The displays on most high-end smartphones, as well as a growing number of televisions, use Oled (organic light-emitting diode) technology, which sandwiches small organic molecules between conductors.
When an electrical current is switched on, the small molecules emit a bright light.
The technology is more energy-efficient than older LED and LCD displays and praised for its sharp pictures. However, the molecular building blocks of OLEDs have tight chemical bonds and stiff structures.
“Our goal was to create something that maintained the electroluminescence of Oled but with stretchable polymers,” said Sihong Wang,...

Michael Weatherly’s long-standing role as Agent Tony Dinozzo on NCIS came to a close in 2016, but he didn’t stay away from the small-screen for long. He quickly took on the lead role in the CBS drama Bull, which ran for several years. But now that Bull has ended, fans are clamoring for his return and recent Twitter posts by Weatherly suggest they may get their wish sooner than they thought.
Along with Weatherly’s potential return to the epic crime drama, the actor continues to tease that NCIS fans might get a Ziva (Cote de Pablo) and Tony reunion as well.

Time for a lesson in movie title design! One of the latest must-watch cinema video essay creations from the outstanding Portuguese filmmaker / editor Luís Azevedo is a two-part examination into the The Art of Movie Title Design.

When it was completed,...
