Despite the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, NCIS: Los Angeles remains a fan favorite and a staple of the action procedural genre. As the show faced an abbreviated 11th season, fans have been concerned about potential changes to the cast, particularly involving Daniela Ruah, who plays Kensi Blye.
In an interview from 2018, which has resurfaced amid current speculations, Daniela Ruah addressed rumors about her departure from the series. Ruah, who has been a central figure on the show since its inception, reassured fans of her commitment to the role and the series. She stated, “I’ll go for as long as they’ll have me. I hope I speak for everybody but there’s nothing about this show that makes you want to leave.” This sentiment reflects her dedication to the character and the show’s ongoing appeal.
Ruah’s commitment is particularly noteworthy as NCIS: Los Angeles continues to captivate audiences with its gripping storylines and dynamic character interactions. The series had to cut its 11th season short by two episodes due to the pandemic, and the production schedule for the upcoming 12th season is still tentative. Nevertheless, Ruah’s enthusiasm for her role remains unwavering.
Rumors about the cast’s future have been fueled by changes in other parts of the NCIS franchise and the personal developments of its stars. Specifically, Daniela Ruah’s character Kensi Blye and her on-screen husband Marty Deeks (played by Eric Christian Olsen) have been at the center of speculation, especially with their recent life changes, including their marriage and plans to start a family. However, Ruah’s comments suggest that these personal milestones will not affect her involvement in the series.
The actress also praised the supportive environment of the show’s production, emphasizing the positive relationships with the cast and crew. “The writing is good, the directing is good, the producers are incredible,” Ruah said. She highlighted the flexibility of the show’s team in accommodating her personal commitments, which has contributed to her long tenure on the series.
Ruah’s role in NCIS: Los Angeles has been a significant part of her career, and with her continued dedication, it’s clear she plans to stay with the show for the foreseeable future. As production resumes and the series moves into its 12th season, fans can look forward to more of Kensi Blye’s contributions to the high-stakes drama of NCIS: Los Angeles
