Check Out More ‘NCIS:LA’, ‘Criminal Minds’ & ‘NCIS’ News & Spoilers

Here’s another collection of questions, interviews, photos and videos for NCIS: Los Angeles, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. (Spoilers after the jump!)

NCIS: LA

Here’s a group of photos from the set, featuring Linda Hunt (Hetty Lange), Chris O’Donnell (G Callen), LL Cool J (Sam Hanna), Barrett Foa (Eric Beale), Daniela Ruah (Kensi Blye), Eric Christian Olsen (Marty Deeks), and Peter Cambor (Nate Getz):

There’s a new entry in the NCIS: LA Insider’s Blog, about next week’s episode, “Omni”.

Check out this interview with O’Donnell from Splash. Here’s an excerpt about NCIS: LA:

It’s funny, I never ask what’s coming up. I don’t even know what my [character’s] name is. It’s fun not knowing. Every week we get new scripts and every week you learn something new about the character.

Here are three tweets, two from Executive Producer John Peter Kousakis, and one from Miguel Ferrer (Owen Granger):

LL Cool J was on Ellen Degeneres’ talk show this past Tuesday, and you can watch two clips here and here—or find them embedded below:

Criminal Minds

Here’s a question from TV Guide about Paget Brewster’s (Emily Prentiss) upcoming guest appearance in episode 200:

I’m so excited that Prentiss is back on Criminal Minds! Details! — Ashley

ADAM: Prentiss’ return is still being worked out, but with JJ in jeopardy, it’s not too far-fetched that the BAU might call on Prentiss for help. Or could she appear in flashbacks? As previously reported, the episode will reveal the truth about what went down between JJ and new section chief Cruz (Esai Morales) during her time in the State Department. “We’re going to use different perspectives to show what was going on at that time. … That [old] case will inform our current case,” showrunner Erica Messer tells us. And how will fans react to the reveal? “It might change how you view JJ,” Messer says.

And here’s a tweet from Brewster about returning to Minds:

Check out this collection of photos from Twitter, including shots of Joe Mantegna (David Rossi), Jeanne Tripplehorn (Alex Blake), Shemar Moore (Derek Morgan), AJ Cook (JJ Jareau), and guest star Ronnie Banks:

Moore was on The Marilyn Denis Show this past Wednesday, and you can watch his interview here.

Thomas Gibson (Aaron Hotchner) visited The Talk on October 2. You can watch the full episode here (interview starts at 24:10), or check out a clip below:

NCIS

Executive Producer Gary Glasberg spoke to TV Guide about the exit of Cote de Pablo (Ziva David) and what’s next for the rest of the team. Here’s an excerpt:

You’ve stated before that there’s no replacing Ziva, but what can we expect from the people who will be sitting at her desk in the coming weeks?

Glasberg: In the next episode, we have some fun with Roma Maffia. She plays an agent on the verge of retirement who adds a unique energy to things and a lightness, and we have a terrific time with her. You’ve got Agent Borin [Diane Neal], a Coast Guard agent who comes back and fills that void in a really interesting, fun way. You’ve got McGee’s new flame, Delilah [Margo Harsman], who steps up in one scenario and participates more. We have some fun with some guests, and I’m really excited about that, and I think it works really nicely. And then we get to November, and everyone gets to meet the NSA analyst, Eleanor Bishop [Emily Wickersham]. I’m really excited about what she’s going to bring to this character, and we have big plans.

Glasberg also spoke to TV Line about the two-part premiere, and he offered this tease about a past kiss between Ziva and Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) that got cut:

WAS THERE A SECOND TONY/ZIVA KISS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT? | In the two-part premiere, no. But in an episode from a previous season, Glasberg shares, “There was a kiss that existed at one point that was a last-minute addition to a sequence that never got used. It was something we had toyed with once before. And if there’s an opportunity at some point to dig it up out of the archives, maybe I will.”

Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto) posted this tweet, passing along a message from de Pablo to the fans:

Here’s a video with Weatherly talking about de Pablo’s departure, life after Ziva, and newcomer Wickersham:

In honor of de Pablo’s time on NCIS, TV Guide created this retrospective video about the actress and the relationship between Ziva and Tony, which you can watch below:

Here’s a question and answer from TV Line:

I liked the new IT guy, Murray, who was in the NCIS Season 11 premiere. Will we see him again? –Kathi

“You actually will see Murray again,” Glasberg reports of Will Harris’ character. “He turns out to be a lot of fun. We’ve enjoyed him.”

ET Online shared a video earlier this week, offering a look at Weatherly and Perrette in the studio filming their songs from the Benchmark soundtrack—you can watch it below:
