Criminal Minds isn’t the only CBS TV show losing a castmember. The Wrap reports Jennifer Esposito is leaving NCIS ahead of season 15.
Esposito joined the long-running crime procedural last season as Special Agent Alex Quinn. The show’s cast also includes Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen, David McCallum, Emily Wickersham, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, and Duane Henry.
The reason for Esposito’s exit has not been given. Season 15 of NCIS is slated to debut this fall on CBS.
What do you think? Do you watch NCIS? Will you miss Esposito?
No great loss. Nothing against Miss Esposito, however the character the writers created for her lacked any depth and was generally a waste of space. Hopefully she can find a role that will allow her to excel.
I’ll miss her. I thought she added a good mystery to the group. And was happy that she was well enough to commit herself to a show. I only hope she’s able to get well again. I wish her the best. ❤️
Will miss Jennifer; have always liked her as the actress that she is. If the show goes a different direction, that’s fine; I still like the show. Will look forward to her other projects (liked her in “Blue ” Bloods)!☺
Pleased to hear she is leaving, not a very good actor, she seems to be forcing it too much 🙁
Used to watch the programme religiously until the extra characters came along that didn’t really need to be there?
What a shame! I really like her & her character on the show. Missed her when she left Blue Bloods, and now again? Wish she was staying.
I would like to see Jennifer stay with NCIS, her character is such a strong one and her acting is excellent. A great combination of seriousness, and wit, makes her character integral to the show. If she does leave, I know she will be missed.
I would like to see Jennifer stay on the show she adds a different character and it’s nice her inner play with the other characters is funny like Miss Ziva I would like to see her come back I enjoy the show
Cannot say that her character has really been an asset to the show. OK as an actor .
Won’t really miss her, but I do hope they have her on for an episode or two to cover her leaving. NCIS-NO has felt awkward since off-screen departure of core character.
I never miss a new episode of NCIS. As long as Mark Harmon, Pauley Perrette, & David McCallum remain in the cast, I’ll keep watching.
I didn’t think she added much to the show. The lead characters are the reason I’ve watched this show every season I love it. I miss Michael Weatherly and they need to find a like replacement for him.
Will miss Jennifer Esposito!
She was my favorite of the new cast members. I love Quinn and this is a disappointment. I’ll keep watching though.
Will continue to watch NCIS but it is a shame Quinn is leaving. Would be interesting to know why.
The 3 new cast members don’t replace Weatherly. Flat interactions though the situations are still exciting. Not a strong character–goodbye. Still a top show but not like Bull having good cast interactions with Michael.
