Could Rena Sofer be Gibbs' new love interest on NCIS?
ADAM: I see where you're going, Brenda. After all, Sofer did confirm to me that she will be back for at least one more episode. So could she be the potential love interest that executive producer Shane Brennan has said will appear in the second half of the season? "Who in their right mind would not love to be a potential love interest for Mark Harmon?" Sofer says. "I have absolutely no idea. I am certainly very happy to stay where I'm at if [Brennan] sees that as a possibility. I'm not saying that is a possibility, but boy, wouldn't that be nice?"

Question: Rumor has it there’s a big Gibbs story coming up on NCIS.
Ausiello: That’s one of those true rumors. The smash procedural is getting ready to introduce the mother of one of Gibbs’ ex-wives — a character exec producer Shane Brennan says will shed light on "what happened in his past." Casting is underway for the multi-episode role.

'NCIS' exclusive: Gena Rowlands unlocks Gibbs' past
Gena Rowlands is headed to NCIS, and she’s bringing a world of pain with her.

As exec producer Shane Brennan recently told me, the character’s arrival will shed light on Gibbs’ past, unleashing a wave of heartache, anger and blame in the process. You know, standard mother-in-law stuff.
Rowlands makes her NCIS debut in March.

Question: Love the casting of Gena Rowlands as Gibbs’ mother-in-law on NCIS, but which mother-in-law is she playing? The guy’s been married four times!
Ausiello: She’s playing the mother of Gibbs’ first (and late) wife, Shannon.

Question: Any romance for Gibbs this season on NCIS?
Ausiello: "There’s a scene coming up that will stir up a lot of conversation," teases Shane Brennan when asked that very question. "Mark [Harmon] is at his finest in that episode. He does an amazing job. It’s a really great performance. The audience is going to love it, but they’re also going to go, ‘Oh my God — what’s happening?!’" Does it involve Rena Sofer’s new lawyer character? "Well, they seem to hate each other, so I don’t know how that’s going to happen," he hedges. "I’ll say this: We already started laying the bread crumbs [for this storyline]. It’ll go down as one of the big moments on NCIS."

I know it's a little early, but any scoop on what to expect from this year's NCIS finale?
ADAM: It's never too early, Jackie! Especially not for executive producer Shane Brennan. "I'm a great believer in planning it out and knowing where we're going to land," he tells me. "The audience has already seen some of the elements — we've already started the finale in a way. You won't see it in every episode, but we'll tease it out. It'll be surprising, and [this year] it's going to be controversial."
