Did ‘NCIS’ Just Reveal Torres’ Eventual Exit?
Bishop's return creates a possible exit for Torres, reflecting his loyalty and storyline flexibility if actor Wilmer Valderrama leaves the NCIS series.
- On Tuesday, the NCIS midseason premiere returned Ellie Bishop to the team, with Nick Torres saying 'For now, my place is here', leaving his future open.
- Previously, Bishop's abrupt departure sent her into deep cover and tied her to her black ops unit tracking a former teammate who turned on others and stole files.
- Comments from the lead actor indicate Wilmer Valderrama told TV Insider that Torres seriously considered leaving and that Bishop expected about a 50%/50% split on his decision.
- The episode set up a plausible exit for Torres by having him join Bishop's off-site work if Valderrama leaves, while his oath to the team explains his decision to stay, Bishop understands.
- Writers emphasized imperfect timing and playing the moment, with the show’s ambiguity preserving options while prompting fan speculation about Wilmer Valderrama's future in NCIS.
