It’s already been six years since Pauley Perrette left NCIS at the end of season 15. However, if CBS’ recent announcements reminded us that no departure was definitive in the series (Tony and Ziva will have the right to their own spin-off in a few months), don’t hope not see Abby say hello to the team in future episodes of season 22.
Pauley Perrette retires
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Pauley Perrette – who has not been seen on screen since the cancellation of the comedy Broke in 2020, confirmed that she had now decided to turn the page by retiring. “I am not ungrateful because I am aware of the benefits that this job has brought me. But I’m a different person todayconfessed the actress, converted into a producer. And now I want to be me full time.“She also recalled him:”It took a lot of courage to tell myself and understand it, but that’s how I feel“.
Aged 55, Pauley Perrette would no longer be able to flourish as an actress, the fault of characters who are too far from her reality. “I am at a stage in my life where I need to find authenticity in everything I doshe assured. Being an actress, especially at certain times in my life, has been a great escape. It’s like a drug, because I didn’t have to be me, I could be anyone.“And then specify:”But taking up this job again would be like moving away from this authentic life that I live 100% from now on.“.
A decision that could disappoint a part of the public lacking Abby, but after the many problems she has faced in recent years, it remains reassuring to know she is fulfilled and in tune with herself. We now wish him all the happiness in the world in his new life.
