NCIS: Jimmy and Tony related scoop from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on NCIS from this week's (Posted on 1/31/14) Matt's Inside Line column.

What is going on with NCIS‘ Jimmy Palmer? It seems that the show has toned down his involvement this season. –Sherry
Show boss Gary Glasberg reminds, “We’ve had this [storyline] runner that we started, about his personal life and his wanting to adopt. That’ll continue through the season,” ultimately leading to “an emotional bit of closure.”

I’m curious, will we see Tony’s apartment again soon on NCIS? –Cheryl
As a matter of fact, yes – in Episode 17, Glasberg says.

NCIS: Vance related scooop on episode 10x18 "Seek" from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on NCIS from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich's weekly column Matt's Inside Line for the week of 3/14/13. 

NCIS | On the short-term spoiler front, I’ve got Pauley Perrette teasing a bit of high drama on March 19, when the NCIS team swings into action to… help Vance hire a nanny for his kids. “But Vance is such an independent person that all the help from the crew is not making him happy,” the actress says of the Michael Weatherly-directed episode. “He’s kind of like, ‘I love you, but leave me alone!’” Now, looking in the general direction of the Season 10 finale, show boss Gary Glasberg has been telling his cast, “‘The last half of this season is going to be unlike any season’ — and I’m not sure what that means, to be honest,” Brian Dietzen reports. “All of us are on pins and needles, like, ‘What are we going to do? What does that really mean?’ But he’s not giving anything away!”

NCIS: An update on Cote de Pablo's future with the show from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on NCIS from this week's (Posted on 3/12/13) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Any news yet on whether Cote de Pablo has/or will sign her contract to remain on NCIS? —Linda
Ausiello: Only that her castmates “hope that’s the case,” Brian Dietzen tells TVLine. “I’m optimistic,” he added. “But who knows? All I know is that everyone has been pretty close for a long time, and [no one] is unhappy on the show. If the cast doesn’t stay intact, I don’t think it’ll be because, ‘Oh, we don’t want to be here.’ It’ll be because of other opportunities or something. But hopefully we don’t discuss that for a while because the show is going really, really well, and people enjoy working on it. I know I’ll be there next year!”

NCIS: Palmer and Ducky related scoop on season 10 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on NCIS from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich's weekly column Matt's Inside Line for the week of 8/17/12.

NCIS | Next, Marla wants to know: “With Brian Dietzen being promoted to series regular, does this mean we’ll see more of him in Season 10?” Show boss Gary Glasberg told me that Dietzen’s upgrade “was simply long overdue, and something we’d been talking about for a very long time.” The intimation of a steadier presence for Palmer just so happens to make sense storyline-wise, as Ducky is forced to take new stock of life after his season-ending health scare. “Palmer also has an eye-opening experience in the first few episodes [starting Sept. 25], where he really has to step up his game and recognize his own strengths and weaknesses,” Glasberg previews. “He’s basically the acting coroner, and it’s a lot to take on — and that will carry over in the way he handles himself and the rest of the team.”

NCIS: Promotes Brian Dietzen to Series Regular for Season 10-TVLine

According to TVLine's Vlada Gelman, Brian Dietzen who plays Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard's right-hand man, Jimmy Palmer, has been promoted to series regular for season 10 of NCIS. Here's an excerpt from the original article, which gives some details on Deitzem's promotion:




Although Ducky shall live to see another day, his apparent heart attack in last month’s season finale would suggest that Palmer’s responsibilities at the office are bound to grow in Season 10 — something that pleases Dietzen greatly.

“I’m very excited,” the actor tells EW.com. “After eight years of being with the show, I got a contract with CBS, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Meanwhile, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and Sean Murray (aka Tony, Abby and McGee) all have yet to re-up for Season 10, though showrunner Gary Glasberg told TVLine he has “no doubt that it will all work out.”
