i hate to see Ziva go because she fit so well with the ensemble. We didnt all go postal when Kate was shot and Ziva stepped in. And i think the show will survive this cast change too . but i sure am going to miss her. she was quirky like the other case members. so she was a good fit. i never thought Kate was a good fit. i liked her but i never thought she had the strength of the other characters. i imagine she will end up in a coma, taken captive in some third world country or send her back to Israel. since it has been rumored she is not being killed off.

I agree with NCISfan. Ziva leaving will undoubtedly have an effect on the remaining characters but I look forward to seeing what they do with Tony. It was said that Michael Weatherly is involved in the future development of Tony and where he goes from here. To be honest, although I have nothing against Ziva, I think that Cote leaving gives an opportunity for the writers and the actor to explore the character more. IMO Michael Weatherly is a very good actor and I hope they give him the chance to stretch a bit.

This seems to be “your” take on things. But, in all respect, by twisting Gary Glasburg’s words to give false hope to fans will only serve to rile up the radical faction of “It’s ALL about Cote/Ziva” fans to continue throwing undeserved hate at CBS and the rest of the cast. Mr Glasberg was being as diplomatic and respectful as he could be, but I in no way got any real hope from his words that Ms de Pablo would be back. Which is certainly not to say she won’t, but why give false hope?
Further, I find it extremely presumptive of you to imply that “all” fans would prefer to see Tony pining endlessly away for Ziva for the rest of his wretched life. The fact that most Ziva/Cote would find this acceptable shows just how little they care about any character except Ziva. It’s unfair to Tony, and unfair to Mr Weatherly, who would in effect be punished because his co-star chose to leave. Life goes on. Most fans will move on from this, and realistically so should the show’s fictional characters. JMO.
