What Motivated Alex Quinn to Leave NCIS?
Jennifer Esposito has left the program ‘NCIS’ after Gary Glasberg’s narrative arc is concluded. Those who admired her answered the questions she had asked beforehand. Esposito said that she did not want to leave the program because of a presumed illness.
“No, I am not ill but I appreciate your concern.” Esposito said after her departure, explaining the reason for the same. “I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity than to work with the NCIS cast and producers,” she said in a statement to Deadline.
Frank Cardea and George Schenck, long-term writers, were promoted to showrunners after Gary Glasberg’s death. It’s possible that Glasberg’s “creation” didn’t fit in Cardea and Schenck’s intentions for the series’ continuation, paving the way for Esposito’s departure.
