Cote de Pablo, known for her role as Ziva David on NCIS, left the show after 8 years due to dissatisfaction with her character’s direction, particularly the plan to make her an “unfortunate, miserable woman” in Israel, which she felt did not honor her character’s impact or the show’s fans. Her departure in season 11 was significant, as Ziva’s character had become emblematic of strong Israeli representation in media. Six years later, in NCIS season 17, de Pablo returned to provide a more satisfying conclusion to Ziva’s storyline, including her efforts to reunite with Tony and their daughter. This return was made possible by the producers’ creative decision to fake Ziva’s death previously, allowing de Pablo to slip back into her role comfortably for a final farewell.
