EXCLUSIVE: CBS’ top drama series, NCIS, will no doubt be back for an eighth season, but what about the cast? While star Mark Harmon, who is also a producer on the show, is locked in, the four other original cast members, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, David McCallum and Sean Murray (he started off as a recurring in season 1), have no deals beyond the current seventh season. And from what I hear, talks between the actors and CBS TV Studios, which produces the hit procedural, have slowed down with the two sides far apart on the money. My understanding is that the studio went to the cast members with pretty low-ball offers, leading to the impasse.

WHAT?! You *cannot* have NCIS w/o Ducky, Abby, etc.!!!

It's interesting to read the comments on the aticle page. Lots of folks would stop watching if their favorite character vanished.

Well.. I may have exaggerated slightly. But I'd be really cranky if any of those three went. I really like the dynamic between them. And McGee is my favourite (yes, I know I'm the lone ranger there!)

The show is definitely an ensemble show. I think Gibbs is my favorite, but I like them all.

I love McGee! He's the cutest thing ever!
