How much will Gibbs be affected by Dr. Ryan’s departure on NCIS? Will Jamie Lee Curtis ever come back? — Derek
ADAM: Executive producer Gary Glasberg says the loss isn’t particularly hard on Gibbs, especially since Dr. Ryan is still breathing. “I really didn’t want to treat this relationship as if she was dead,” Glasberg says. “The show has a history of doing that and that’s not the case here.” So might the alive-and-well Dr. Ryan be back? “I’d like to believe that we approached it realistically, and that there are priorities she has in her life,” Glasberg hints. “But if they were able to reconnect down the road, I’d love to have Jamie Lee come back.”
