Pauley Perrette, beloved for her role as Abby Sciuto on NCIS, has sparked a wave of speculation after a recent cryptic post on social media. Fans were quick to jump on her words, interpreting them as a possible hint at a return to the show that made her a household name. While she didn’t directly confirm anything, her message included a throwback photo from her NCIS days and a caption that simply read, “Never say never…”

This is the first time in years that Perrette has publicly acknowledged the idea of a comeback. Since her departure in 2018, she has been vocal about moving on from the show, even stating she was “done with NCIS.” Her sudden change in tone has left many wondering what may have happened behind the scenes—and whether the door is now open.

The fan response has been overwhelming, with thousands expressing hope for Abby’s return. For many longtime viewers, her quirky, gothic charm was a vital part of the series’ heart. If she does return, even for a guest appearance, it would mark a monumental moment for the franchise. All eyes are now on CBS and the NCIS team.
