Ncis why ziva left

The Jack Sloane actor left on much more amicable terms than Perrette. In fact, after leaving the series, she took to her Instagram to tell fans how fun it was to work on the show. She told her followers that she learned many things from her three and a half years on the series. She left in season ten when her character returned to Israel. Initially, everyone thought she was dead after a bombing. However, she made a surprise return in the sixteenth and seventeenth seasons.

In , she said that her reasons for leaving were personal. She planned to keep them to herself. However, she said that leaving the show was not easy. Look, I love this character! I worked for eight years crafting [Ziva] and when I felt like the character wasn't being treated with the respect she deserved They were going to send [Ziva] back to Israel and make her an unfortunate, miserable woman.

Cote continued in the same interview saying that she felt like that sort of storyline wasn't respectful to Ziva or all of the women who had been watching NCIS for years.

I told them until someone can write something really fantastic for Ziva I won't come back," she said. The show revealed that Ziva faked her death. To everyone's shock, Ziva didn't die but was in hiding from terrorists in order to protect her loved ones.

Who did she play? She only returned to the United States in the series 16 finale to give Gibbs a warning of a pending danger. After the looming threat of Sahar was revealed to be his neighbour Sarah Louise Barnes , Gibbs convinced Ziva it was time for her to be reunited with Tony and Tali.

She reluctantly made contact with her former colleague, thinking he would be furious with her but instead, Ziva was welcomed back with open arms. The family of three are now all living together in Paris with NCIS getting updates on their new lives from time to time.

Actress de Pablo previously said she wouldn't make a comeback but did reprise her role in season So there could be a chance of Ziva returning again in the future since fans now know she isn't dead.
