Mark Harmon’s NCIS Prequel’s New Character Risks Ruining Gibbs’ Emotional Send-Off

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT NCIS: Origins new character risks ruining Mark Harmon's emotional ending for Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The CBS series gave the beloved original Special Agent team leader a proper send-off when he decided to retire in Naktok Bay, Alaska. Even after two decades of Gibbs on the screen, there are still many details about his life that haven't fully played out.

The setting of NCIS: Origins calls for a brand-new ensemble to surround Gibbs. Young Franks and Vera Strickland are already confirmed to make an appearance, but based on what's known about the character's history, other players can pop up. That includes familiar faces like Tobias Fornell, Jenny Shepard, and even Ducky Mallard. Aside from established allies, however, the prequel will also introduce new characters, starting with NCIS: Origins introducing Lala Dominguez.

NCIS: Origins Gives Gibbs A Love Interest Introducing an entirely new character in NCIS: Origins is unavoidable, and it does have some benefits, including allowing the writers to craft Dominguez to fit the prequel's storyline. Seeing more female representation via the series is also a welcome development.

2:05 Related NCIS’ 1000th Episode Returning Character Kills All Hope For Mark Harmon's Gibbs Returning NCIS' 1000th episode is bringing back a fan-favorite character, effectively killing the chances of Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs returning. How NCIS: Origins Romance Ruins Gibbs’ Retirement Reasoning Close NCIS paired Gibbs with several women throughout his time in the series. However, Dominguez will likely be the first time that he will be fully engaged in a romantic arc.

In his explanation to Tim McGee about his decision to stay in Alaska, Gibbs said that he has never felt peace since Shannon and Kelly died on his trip to Naktok Bay. Seeing him develop a romance with Dominguez would cheapen the idea, especially if NCIS: Origins wants to genuinely develop a love line between the pair. The NCIS mothership series never had this problem because, throughout Gibbs' flirtations, he had yet to admit that he has never fully gotten over his first love.
