Scott Wolf Returning to NCIS January 3
Following a mysterious appearance on the NCIS Season 9 premiere, Scott Wolf has not been seen or heard from since, but he will be back on the show in its first episode of 2012, according to reports.
If you recall, Wolf played Stratton ... if that's even his real name.
As part of the Phantom Eight storyline, he was working with Latham, head of the ONI's Watcher Fleet. The extent of their machinations wasn't overtly explained, but thanks to Mike Franks (RIP), Gibbs knows the uber-secret agent was (and is) involved in the selling of state secrets contained in the infamous microchip.
That microchip almost got DiNozzo killed - more than once.
Fortunately, Tony survived, but in the new year, “Stratton intends to finish what he started and influence some unexpected lives in the process,” executive producer Gary Glasberg tells TV Line, “including Gibbs’.”
In addition to Wolf, Sarah Jane Morris also returns to NCIS that week as E.J. Barrett. How do you see this playing out? Are you excited to see either? Share your comments with us in the comments below.

E.J. Barrett in my opinion, turns out to be Gibbs daughter, who he thought was murdered. Somehow, she did not die and recovered from her injuries and was moved to a secret location where she grew up. Her mother was killed and so when they buried her they said they buried both Gibbs Wife and his daughter.

looking forward to the end of the E.J. story, she just doesn't 'fit'...... can live with Ray as long as he stays away so Tiva can continue their banter. Frank (RIP)... him I miss.

I don't mind the ghost of Mike Frank, he's like Deep Throat revealing secrets from the dark to Gibbs. I like the Phantom Eight plot line and believe the new SECNAV knows more that he has said. He is an arrogant SOB and I'd like to see him humbled.
Not thrilled with EJ, but she had to have her encore moment before she (Hopefully) disappears forever. Don't like Ziva's Ray either, he's bound to seduced by the Phantom Eight somehow and break her newly Americanized heart soon.

And even if you loved Mike Franks and thought that killing him off was a mistake, there is really no way to bring him back as a living character that wouldn't be a far fetched and implausible story. I don't want people coming back to life from the dead, Mary Sue too perfect to be true characters, or evil twins on NCIS. Leave that for the soap operas.

How was it a mistake if the character outlived his Welcome

As you cannot seem to recall, Muse Watson played Mike Franks. How you can reference every actor except the one who plays Mike Franks is beyond me. He was a true character on the show. The actors playing EJ Stratten and Scott Wolf are not even faint copies. The NCIS producers need to wake up and find up what a terrible mistake they have made and bring Mike Franks back from the dead.
