The upcoming NCIS prequel has the potential to finally do justice to a forgotten character whose death left a lasting impact on the franchise. In 2005, Special Agent Caitlin Todd, played by Sasha Alexander, was tragically killed off in the second season, an emotional turning point for both the team and viewers. Her death, while pivotal to the show’s development, has remained a subject of regret for many fans who felt her character was left with untapped potential.
With the prequel now in development, there’s a unique opportunity to explore Caitlin Todd’s backstory, shedding light on her life and experiences before her untimely death. This new series could delve into her past, offering fans a chance to see more of the character they loved, providing a richer, more complete narrative arc. It’s a chance to revisit a beloved yet underdeveloped character, giving her a deserved second act that was cut short years ago.
