Dr Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard (played by David McCallum) returned to NCIS season 16 last week for an episode of the CBS drama. Ducky fans are wondering whether the character will stay on NCIS now or whether he is soon to leave again, perhaps for good. NCIS season 16 last week seemed to suggest that Ducky was leaving the series, which airs on Fox in the UK.
According to NCIS season 16, episode 16, titled Bear and Cubs, which aired on March 12, Ducky may soon be leaving the series.
The fact that Dr Mallard won’t stay on NCIS for long, however, was first teased on the Twitter account for the show before the episode aired.
The post from the NCIS Twitter account read: “Ducky is back...for now!”
Then, in Bears and Cubs, we got more hints about Ducky’s departure.
