‘NCIS’ season 13 spoilers: ‘Surprises’ coming in Scottie Thompson return
For everyone who have watched “NCIS” since the very beginning, there is something interesting about getting to see characters return who we weren’t sure we would ever see again. Jeanne Benoit (Scottie Thompson) is just one of them. We’re not sure if there is anything romantic coming for her and Tony (isn’t Zoe still around in some form?), but there is some unfinished business here that could be interesting to see resolved after being dormant for so many years.
This also appears to be a story that the show’s executive producer is particularly excited to tell. In speaking about this matter further to TVLine, executive producer Gary Glasberg had the following to say:
“The Jeanne Benoit storyline is rooted deep in NCIS history … Bringing Scottie Thompson back in Season 13 creates all kinds of opportunities for our characters. We are so excited to welcome her back into our family and promise the fans some genuine surprises.”
At this point, the main thing that we’re excited to see with this storyline is a sense of nostalgia and continuity, and a chance to see even more great guest stars down the line. We’d ultimately like to see even more of this take place over the next couple of years, since all shows are finite, and you have to start looking towards the end of the road. We don’t think that season 13 will be the show’s last, but who knows how many more there will be beyond it?

I’m looking for her to bring Tony’s son/daughter to meet their father.
That ought to set Tony back on his heels a bit and cause him to really grow up.

Although that’s a very soapish idea I have to say that Tony discovering that he’s a father could be quite interesting. It almost seems like they might be setting something like this up since Tony recently, randomly said he didn’t think it was likely that he would ever have children. I also love the idea of Tony having an ongoing connection to Jeanne.

While the idea is indeed a bit soapish, I do think if it would be written well and if Scottie Thompson would be interested in showing up every now and then, it could be possible and a good, interesting storyline.
Given that Tony has been thinking about family, it would be also a good “almost” storyline. Maybe Jeanne got pregnant from someone else soon after she and Tony went seperate ways and Tony thinks he’s the father. It would also be interesting I think. I’m not sure if the writers would really go the line of letting Tony have a child. Maybe there won’t be a child and Tony is just thinking about the possibilities he had back then with Jeanne. What it will be, I hope Tony and Jeanne will at least have the chance to talk about everything.

I didn’t like the way Tony lied about how he felt about Jeanne at the end of Internal Affairs so I hope at least that the truth of that comes out. I hope that this isn’t a storyline that portrays Tony as a sad loser. They haven’t let Tony come out on top for a really long time.

They’ve already done that (a child around the right age who Tony thinks is his) with Wendy, though. What I wouldn’t mind seeing is a younger child – obviously not Tony’s – that Jeanne had with the guy who helped her heal from Tony, and that will push Tony to realise that Jeanne has been able to move on and be happy, and now Tony can too.

NCIS is a show for seniors now! I was a teenager when Jeanne last appeared, she’s meaningless!
Looks like the aging Harmon is afraid that a hot Cote de Pablo returning and her acting with Weatherly could steal him the show!
My GF doesn’t watch without TIVA and I stopped watching because of Baby agent Bishop!
A useless character of the past won’t get us to watch again! CBS needs to get Cote back and her fight sequences and hot TIVA scenes could attract young viewers again! More Gibbs with his grandchild Bishop and it’ll be bye bye NCIS after season 13!

If you’re done with the show then stop snooping around articles and post BS about people like MH who has nothing to do with CdP’s departure or why someone like EW was casted. Just stop blaming everyone for your favorite princess not doing what you want.
