Exclusive: Pauley Perrette jumps to 'NCIS: LA'

Pauley-Perrette_lOh my Goth, Abby is going to L.A.!

Pauley Perrette’s NCIS lab rat-slash-tattoo enthusiast will cross over (for real) to NCIS: LA this November, sources confirm to me exclusively.

While Abby has talked to the Left Coast expansion team on the phone, this will be her first time touching down at LAX. Sadly, it looks like it won’t be much of a vacation, as she finds out not everybody in the City of Angels sports a halo. Someone’s going to abduct our dear Abby!

Perrette’s LA adventure is slated to air Nov. 24. (Additional reporting by Keith Staskiewicz)

    thats still not going to make me watch NCIS:LA

    • j

      NCIS: LA has gotten rly good in recent eps

      • lmb

        It is still sub-par and they are lucky nothing else good comes on at the same time.

    • Suze

      Oh man, that means I might actually have to watch that drivel. I can’t make it past 10 minutes of that show.

      • Michele

        2nd this. I’ve tried at least 4 or 5 episodes, including the last 2 weeks and never manage more than 10 minutes…

    • bdishere1

      Amen to that. What a crappy spin off.

    • Colin Kochevar

      Dude NCIS LA FRICKEN SUCKS

      • cara

        it’s improved a lot since the first couple of episodes, but i must admit i get bored quicker – too many men cracking jokes with each other, not enough to actually hook me in. though chris o’donnell is certainly nice to look at, and distracts me from changing the channel…

    • Spirithound

      it’ll make me!

  • Lindsey

    Yay! I love Abby and I can’t wait to see her bring magic to the NCIS:LA show too! It’s great show that is starting out a little slow and hopefully Abby will provide the “oomph” it needs!

  • ggny

    good give Abby something to do there has been a real lack of Abby in the new season of NCIS and yesterday just made it worst…Seriously not letting Abby weart a Costume on Halloween sucked

    • RJ

      agree, I was so looking forward to seeing what she would wear last night. Although that comment about McGee and his skinny Jonas bros jeans gave me a bit of shivers (and not the good kind)

    • Beb

      I agree! i was so disapointed!

  • Michelle

    So it’s not a permanent move? Darn it. I know I’m in the minority, but I do not like her at all.

    • Anonymous

      i agree, i dont like her on ncis

      • Mary Sue

        What…Abby is great on the show. I love the chemistry of all the characters on NCIS.

  • Joe

    please tell me that she’s not leaving the orginal show, that this is only for a couple of episodes. :(

  • AM

    Abducted in LA? That can’t bode well for Abby. The only people she’d trust to keep her safe would be Gibbs and his team. For them not to be invloved isn’t realistic, so unless the whole team is crossing over, this seems like a cheap ploy of a story line.

    • Meredith44

      I agree. First of all, I hate that she is in jeopardy yet again. For a lab rat, that seems to happen to her a lot. More importantly, though, it just seems wrong to have people other than Gibbs and his team looking for her.
      I’m not happy about this news.

      • non

        I couldn’t agree more, although it’s completely WRONG for anyone but Gibbs and co. to be looking for Abby, they wouldn’t have let her get abducted in the first place, not again anyways.

  • Megan

    You win 47892374983 awesome points for using the phrase “Oh my Goth!”

  • laura

    yay! hopefully this means that team gibbs is going to fly across the country too! i mean gibbs is just not going to sit on his a** with abby being in trouble. now that would be a tuesday night mark micheal cote and pauley 2 hours in a row :)

    • Judy

      I really agree with Laura. Gibbs and the whole team will need to find her. He is not one to sit back on the sidelines.

  • Lori

    I don’t really suppose it makes a difference. Tuesday nights are just a really long “NCIS” episode to me anyway. Should be interesting if they are going to write out the lab altogether in DC or if they are going to get another forensic scientist.
    But as far as “NCIS LA” goes, it’s maybe starting to grow on me.

  • vjw

    Any chance she’ll replace that stupid kid playing the techno-geek on the show? (I think the character’s name is Eric…) I like most of the LA cast, but he really bugs me.

  • Freelancer

    I love NCIS, and not so much NCIS:LA. Why do they force me to watch NCIS:LA to follow my favorite characters. I hate how NCIS is exploited to enhance artificially NCIS:LA. But I will always love NCIS. :)

  • lucia

    Alas, poor Gibbs. He’s getting lousy lately. First, someone steals his boat. Then,someone steals his Abby. What will they steal next?

  • Ellie

    I’m assuming the move isn’t permanent, right? Please tell me I’m right…

  • Freelancer

    I’ll add that S. Brennan lied when he said each show will follow its own trip… What a joke. :(

  • wendy

    Watched NCIS LA once and when LL came out of the water at the golf course to shoot someone, I knew I’d never watch again. Love NCIS but this new one is ridiculous.

    • TXSunshine

      Wendy, you are so right. I nearly laughed myself sick at LL coming out of the GOLF COURSE pond in full SWAT gear. What were the writers thinking?
