Perrey Reeves to Play Wendy on NCIS
The closing scenes featuring Tony and Ziva - and the impending return of her boyfriend CI-Ray Cruz (Enrique Murciano) - certainly had fans buzzing after last week's NCIS. Now, prepare yourself for the latest wrinkle:
Perrey Reeves has been cast as Wendy, Tony's ex-fiancee.
A quick-witted investigative journalist who goes to whatever lengths necessary to get her story, Wendy will be reunited with Tony and must relive the emotions of their shared past, according to TV Guide.
Reeves' potentially recurring role begins on Valentine's Day.
Tony's former engagement was first revealed in "Baltimore," the third-to-last episode last season, during which a younger DiNozzo revealed to his partner in flashbacks that he had proposed to Wendy.
"Wendy has been mentioned many times, and now we'll finally get to meet her," executive producer Gary Glasberg says. "Wendy needed to possess all the qualities Tony would look for in a woman and then some."
"We hit the jackpot," he adds. "Perrey has just the right combination of sass, wit, intelligence and pathos to bring 'Baltimore Wendy' to life. Everyone at NCIS is thrilled she's joining us."
Some fans may not react with similar enthusiasm.
Between Ray's return tomorrow night and Wendy's appearance next month, it seems Tony and Ziva's relationship may not turn romantic anytime soon (or at all). But only time will tell.
Perhaps best known as Mrs. Ari Gold on Entourage, Reeves has also made recent guest-star appearances on such shows as Grey's Anatomy, Castle, Private Practice, and Hawaii Five-0.

hi mel thanks for your comment i think anyway,its just that he gets me so mad with what he writes most of it lies i.i know everybody has an opinion but his is totaly rubbish.

I have left a lengthy comment for Michael in the Desperate Man box. I will not repeat the entire comment here...I will just reiterate two points
1. Does he pay any attention to the show?
2. Does he hate Ziva because she is a smart, strong, sexy woman who threatens his manhood?
I also corrected some of his misinformed "facts" re: Ziva.
Now, I just want to suggest another possible coupling (or RE-coupling)...
Abby and McGee (or "Tabby"?...Better yet, McGabby!!?

Oh my, this is very amusing; the Michael and Janet Show! (And btw, I think I love you Janet,lol). Sooo, back on topic: I'm very curious to see what Wendy is like, and just what kind of woman would get committment-shy DiNozzo to propose marriage. I sincerely hope they do her character justice, and am heartened by the fact that Steve Binder, who brought Wendy to life in Baltimore, is writing the script for this episode as well. Looking forward to seeing this ep.
That is all. Michael, Janet: Carry on...
