In the much-anticipated Season 17 premiere of NCIS, Cote de Pablo’s return as Ziva David took center stage, marking her comeback after her last appearance in 2013, which left the character’s fate uncertain. The episode unraveled the mystery of Ziva’s absence as she returned from a dangerous undercover mission and crossed paths with Gibbs.
Cote de Pablo is set to appear in four episodes in Season 17, and the burning question on fans’ minds is whether there will be one final reunion between Tony and Ziva, the beloved pairing known as “Tiva.” Entertainment Tonight inquired about the possibility of a sequence featuring Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, and the actress revealed, “When Michael and I talk, and we talk very often, we laugh and we say, ‘Oh my god, do you think these characters will ever see each other again?’ And the answer is always, yes, we’re just wondering where and when.”
“We’re waiting for the proper platform and a nice storyline, and I’m crossing my fingers it happens. We’re both open to it, and we’ll see what happens. It’s a matter of schedules and many factors; many things have to be factored in for that equation to actually become real,” Pablo added. Fans can only hope for this long-awaited reunion of the iconic characters.
