Leroy Gibbs has been a staple in the show since it first aired, but viewers are worried the introduction of his wife Pam Dawber to the series might spell the beginning of the end of his tenure.
Pam, who plays a journalist named Marcie Warren, arrived in the most recent episode, titled Fallout, and reached out to Gibbs after discovering the events that prompted his suspension.
While many fans were delighted to see Mark and Pam sharing the small-screen together, some became suspicious that she might cause Gibbs’ departure as she features in every episode bar the season 18 finale.
Pam Dawber has been introduced to the cast as journalist Marcie (Picture: CBS)‘I think it’s somewhat fitting if she’s contributing to him leaving or just being a recurring character like Ducky,’ wrote one.
Echoing a similar sentiment, another added: ‘After today’s episode of NCIS, it’s pretty clear they are paving the way for Mark Harmon to leave the series.’
