Brian Dietzen has sparked major speculation among NCIS fans after hinting at a possible exit for Dr. Jimmy Palmer. In a recent interview, Dietzen spoke about his character’s long journey on the show and suggested that big changes could be ahead. “Palmer has been through so much, and there comes a time when every character has to decide what’s next,” he said. While he didn’t confirm anything, his words have left fans questioning whether Palmer’s time at NCIS could be coming to an end.

Palmer has been a beloved part of the team for years, starting as Dr. Mallard’s assistant before becoming the chief medical examiner. His personal growth, including the heartbreaking loss of his wife and his role as a single father, has made him one of the show’s most relatable characters. However, with so many longtime cast members leaving in recent years, fans fear that Palmer could be the next to go. Some even believe the writers are setting up a storyline where he steps away to focus on his family.

Dietzen has reassured fans that he still loves playing Palmer, but he also acknowledged that every character eventually reaches a crossroads. Whether his comments were just teasing an upcoming storyline or a real hint at an exit remains unclear. For now, fans are left demanding answers, hoping that Palmer’s time on NCIS isn’t coming to an end just yet.
