It’s finally been revealed why Hetty Lange, the beloved character from NCIS: Los Angeles, mysteriously disappeared from the show—and fans won’t believe the real reason! After months of speculation and theories, the truth has emerged, and it turns out Hetty’s absence was due to more than just a plotline.
The actress behind Hetty, Linda Hunt, faced personal health challenges that made it difficult for her to continue with the rigorous filming schedule. As a result, the showrunners decided to write Hetty’s temporary departure into the storyline, allowing Hunt time to focus on her recovery.
While fans were heartbroken by her absence, the decision was ultimately for the best, as it gave Hunt the space she needed while keeping the character’s legacy alive. Now that Hetty’s return is being hinted at, fans are eager to see how her storyline will unfold in the coming seasons!
