TV Guide offered some information about what is coming for G Callen (Chris O’Donnell) during season seven, and here’s a quote from Executive Producer Shane Brennan:
Callen goes a little rogue. It puts him in a fairly difficult position with Hetty. It puts him in a very, very difficult position with Sam – and as a result, puts him in a difficult position with the rest of the team. We’ve never seen Sam or Hetty in this position with Callen before. We’ve had situations where he’s gone off the grid, but there’s some pretty interesting conversations between Callen and Hetty and Callen and Sam about loyalty and being informed about what’s happening.
As CSI Files previously reported, Michael Weatherly (NCIS’s Tony DiNozzo) will guest star in an upcoming episode of NCIS: LA, and here’s a question from TV line about his appearance:
Got any scoop on Michael Weatherly’s NCIS: LA appearance you feel like sharing? –Michelle
NCIS: LA boss Shane Brennan says that Weatherly’s crossover visit fuels one of the spinoff’s “Top 5” episodes ever, triggered by “a classic DiNozzo moment in which he’s in Los Angeles to pick someone up from an airplane and, goodness me, they’re not there. He’s about to be in serious trouble with his superiors, so he needs the help of our team in L.A. to find the person he was supposed to pick up.” Sharing moments with Hetty, Deeks, Sam et al, Weatherly’s scenes are “amazing,” Eric Christian Olsen raves. “He’s such a gifted actor, so good with comedy and drama,” perhaps no more so than when paired with Deeks. “I am his spirit animal. He is my spirit animal,” Olsen declares. “One of us is one of us’ spirit animal.”
Here’s a question from TV Line about season seven:
Question: I have a query regarding NCIS: LA. Do you know if we’ll see Nell and Eric getting together this season? –Brittany
Ausiello: In Season 7 (premiering Sept. 21), “We certainly see more of that relationship,” showrunner Shane Brennan told Matt Mitovich as part of our Fall Preview Q&A. “It’s obviously not as developed as Kensi and Deeks’ relationship, but there’s definitely more fun to be had there.” Especially when one of the techies tackles a new skill. “Sam is going to give Eric weapons training,” Brennan shared with a chuckle. “For those who have watched from the beginning, you realize this is fraught with danger — for everyone!”
TV Line also posted some “Exclusive Scoop” about NCIS: LA. One tidbit relates to the question above, revealing that Eric Beale (Barrett Foa) gets weapons training because he “wants to be more of a macho man and prove himself.” There are more quotes from Brennan at the link.
Finally, check out these miscellaneous tweets and photos, which have been shared over the past two weeks, followed by several videos:
