Is Pauley Perrette leaving NCIS?

Such a question was posed to TV Guide this week, as a concerned viewer expressed concern that the character of Abby would be leaving the show. The concern is unfounded, though, assures Matt Webb Mitovich.

NCIS sources dismissed this question as both "strange" and "out of left field."

The TV columnist added this juicy nugget about a future episode: Antonio Sabato Jr. and Tracy Scoggins will play husband/lawyer and wife/client on December 2.
