Spoilers, did I say spoilers. Well it's not new but Alex Kingston, as said earlier, will be making a guest turn on the show as Gibbs' (Mark Harmon) potential love interest. Is that a sigh I hear...well she'll be playing Miranda Pennebaker, states TVGuide as the show steps into the area of human trafficking. Apparently Gibbs will need her help. Will this be like Holly Snow (Dina Meyer) in season 7 or completely different? Holly was a good character but not in the love stakes for Gibbs. Said executive producer Gary Glasberg: "They [Gibbs and Miranda] clearly have a bit of a sordid past. It's never really determined how far their past went, but there's flirtation in the air. This is the first time that they are really working together on something."
Not really giving anything away here, but Gibbs with a sordid past, never. Who'd have thunk it? Or in Gibbs' words, "D'ya think?"
It's also said Tony (Michael Weatherly) has to deal with some emotional issues and whether that will involve a romantic interlude with Ziva (Cote de Pablo) remains to be seen. They are meant to be sharing close secrets.
Gary Glasberg also told TVLine that "Tony will have some decisions to make as the season progresses, decisions that could leave him at a real emotional crossroads." This is nothing new for either Tony or Ziva and we've been skating around this area for many seasons now, especially season 6 and how Ziva treated Tony for killing Rivkin. After that there was little possibility or hope of the two getting together. Yet there have been moments between them in season 7, not least shared in the men's room where they could have had a brief hint of something romantic there, which passed them by.
I'm actually hoping that Tony and Ziva don't get together, as Tony says quite a bit, "that ship has sailed" and I think they really need to move past that now on the show and concentrate on other stories. The same with Gibbs. He is a bit, okay a lot of a loner and that's just his character, so any romantic longterm attachment could change him a really big way, not just emotionally but also who he is. Shannon is and forever will be the love of his life, never mind any other woman! She makes Gibbs who he really is.
Any romance would just detract from the premise of the show and the jokes, the one-liners, which seem to be missing of late. There are may fans out there who don't want that and feel a romance between the team characters, or players would just diminish the show and the reasons why they watch.
So let's just leave them all as friends and co-workers. Except McGee (Sean Murray) and Abby (Pauley Perrette) they need to explore them more as a couple.
