As NCIS: Los Angeles prepares for its series finale on May 21, fans are reflecting on the characters that have made the show so special over its 14-season run. Here’s a list of nine characters we’d love to see make a return:
- Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt)
Hetty has been off on a mysterious mission, last seen in Syria. It would be great to see her back in action, possibly officiating Callen’s wedding like she did for Kensi and Deeks.
- Eric Beale and Nell Jones (Barrett Foa and Renée Felice Smith)
After moving to Tokyo, Eric and Nell could return for Callen’s wedding. A quick stop in Ops would be a welcomed surprise for fans. - Nate Getz (Peter Cambor)
The former operational psychologist has deep connections with the team, especially Callen. His return could tie into ongoing storylines about Callen’s past. - Kessler (Frank Military)
As a lingering threat to Kensi and her loved ones, Kessler’s return could provide a climactic showdown. Fans want closure on his storyline! - Harm and Mac (David James Elliott and Catherine Bell)
The JAG alums made appearances in earlier seasons. A quick video call or in-person visit could serve as a nostalgic callback and update on their lives.
- Paul Angelo (Daniel Henney)
This undercover agent made a memorable impression in Season 5. A reunion could serve as a fun subplot, especially if Hetty reaches out for help. - Lisa Rand (Alicia Coppola)
The FBI agent who has collaborated with the team could return to help wrap up the Body Stitchers case, adding some closure for fans.
As the series winds down, these beloved characters could bring a sense of nostalgia and excitement, making the final episodes even more memorable
