NCIS fan favorite Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto, recently made a rare return to the show in a special TV broadcast. Abby hasn’t appeared on the CBS drama since her dramatic exit at the end of season 15, where she resigned after a traumatic encounter with a hitman. The departure of her character was deeply felt by her teammates, especially Gibbs (Mark Harmon).

Pauley Perrette’s recent reunion with cast members Rocky Carroll, Tony Weatherly, Brian Dietzen, and Sasha Alexander created a buzz among fans. The reunion was part of a special news report to support Project Angel Food, a charity dedicated to delivering food to those suffering from life-threatening illnesses.

Despite this reunion, there is no official word on Abby’s possible return to the NCIS series, leaving fans curious about the fate of her character in the show’s universe.
