My guess is since Lauren Hunt knows Hetty so well, she was deliberatly placed as operations manager by Hetty in order to protect Callan and the team, and as a line of communication, while Hetty takes care of unfinished business involving Callan which shecan only do if she's no longer affiliated with NCIS...and/or this might be a stretch of the imagination, but it would not suprise me if his sister was alive and well somewhere (Lauren looks an aweful lot like the picture..)

KEEP HETTY = Along with the rest of the cast it is a great mix and would be a great loss to replace her.
Listen up Shane. It's pretty clear from the post that no one wants Linda Hunt to be written off the show. Now granted, if she leaves because she wants to there is nothing we as fans can complain about however, if she leaves because you force her out or you write her out of the show, you will lose a ton of fans. Yes, Claire Forlani is a wonderful actress but she cannot replace Linda Hunt...no one can. The way Linda Hunt's character has a connection with the others on the show is something that cannot be replaced. Let's hope she's gone for just a few episodes to handle issues in Prague but the fans don't need an unnecessary change. The show is just fine the way it is. The first intro of Claire Forlani on tonights show was less than impressive. She came across with an attitude and that definitely was not needed! Shane, keep Linda. You will have your fans forever.
Please do not cut Hetty out of the show. NCIS LA is already weaker than NCIS but with Hetty gone it could be a disaster for that LA.

As the old adage goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"! I knjow others have said it because it's true! There are dozens of attractive, interchangeable actresses around, but there is only one Linda Hunt! Her dynamic portrayal of Hetty brings such class,strength, dignity, richness, humor, compassion, humanity, complexity and heart to the role. She is an actor's actor and the show should be honored to have her on board. PLEASE DON'T REPLACE LINDA HUNT! SHE'S IRREPLACEABLE. That's why there is only one Linda Hunt! If she goes, I'll go, too!

What a shame it would be to lose an actress with Linda Hunt's depth and maturity. She is the anchor in this excellent ensemble. I have admired her talent since first seeing her in The Year of Living Dangerously and my respect has only grown. IMO it would be a staggering loss to the show.

I hope you are not getting rid of Hetty. She is the "character" who pulls the show together. Don't mess with what works!

Linda Hunt is one of the reasons I watch NCIS:LA. When I saw her in The Unit a while ago I remembered her from Dune. Her role in this show adds something that you can not exactly be replaced... it was like replacing shepard with vance.. the feeling of the show changed.

Has Shane completely lost his mind replacing Hetty....when you have great character, why cut them out. If Hetty OR LL Cool J leave, my watching is HISTORY.

Okay why mess with a show that is good only because Linda Hunt is part of the show. You change it up you change the show and it's good just the way it is. I might have to stop watching I love Linda on the show.

I love Linda Hunt's Hetty! She is the reason I watched the show a second time and continue to be hooked. The interplay and the relationships of all the cast now is perfect. If it isn't broke, don't fix it and this show isn't broke. Linda brings a richness to the show and I would be devastated if she were replaced!

We very much enjoy NCIS Los Angeles, after having our doubts upon viewing the pilot, as we didn't want NCIS competition. Linda Hunt is the perfect character to make this cast click together in being successful. I can't beleive you're thinking of not having her as part of next seasons team, and every season thereafter. When you accomplish great ratings for a secondary series backing up your already great show NCIS, why would you even consider changing the cast. The group as they are is the reason this series is great. Drop Linda, and you'll definitely lose this viewer, as I'm so tired of shows shooting themselves in the foot with such silliness.

Linda Hunt as Hetty is an intregral part of the show. Her replacement doesn't look to have enough experience to lead the team. If she is gone, so am I.
Do Not replace Linda Hunt.....it is as simple as that!!!!!! Crazy if you do....

Why would you replace a character that is so central to the show. She is the center of the chaotic and sometimes lost crew of characters. With her knowledge and expertise she is able to guide them while adding a bit of intrigue with her unknown past. Losing her will be the end of the show for me...
My husband and I watched the Pilot of NCIS LA, but were unimpressed, we did not intend to watch it again, as it lacked any depth. When we saw Linda Hunt in a preview Ad on TV we decided to once again give it a try. From that point on Linda Hunt had us hook, line and sinker! If you replace Linda Hunt you have with the same action lost your entire audience! She gives your show validity, without her the other characters lose their momentum, if you doubt this, just watch your own Pilot again and you will have to agree with all of us fans!
I plan to go a step further and contact the sponsors of the show.
I will boycott all their products have all friends and relatives do the same!
We fans mean BUSINESS, you get rid of Linda Hunt, you get rid of a promising and successful show for all of us will be gone. Then who will watch your blood and guts fluff?!!

PLEASE do not replace Linda Hunt on NCIS LA. Her character is so unique - and her interactions with her team are perfect. I love her on this show. I don't know if I'll watch it if she leaves. I would just miss her character too much.
Callen: I'm sorry. Did I miss something? Who are these guys? Kensi: They aren't guys. They're WODs. W-O-Ds. Callen: Is that like a B-F-F with an S-T-D? Kensi...
