What happened to Lauren holly on ncis?

Answer 1

She didn't understand the hardships of being on a full time t.v. show. she wanted to have enough time to raise her kids. The above answer is the reason that Sasha Alexander (agent Kate Todd) left the show. Lauren Holly has already worked on several series so she certainly knew the hardships of being on a series. Most people will remember Lauren from her role as Deputy Maxine Strewart of Picektt Fences. The real reason Lauren left NCIS has never eally been published. Series insiders only said it had been planned for some time. It has been suggested that it was not Lauren Holly's decision to leave NCIS, hence why she never did any publicity afterwards about NCIS

Answer 2

Kate did not LEAVE NCIS she was shot in the head by Ari, and died, Ziva replaced her.

Sasha Alexander wanted out of her contract because all the main actors were working 100+ hours a week, 7 days a week. She wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend [later husband] Edoardo Ponti [son of Carlo Ponti and Sophia Loren] who lived and worked in Europe. Donald P. Bellasario - creator, executive producer and showrunner - decided to let Kate exit with a bang - literally.

Sasha is currently starring in 'Rozzoli & Isles' [renewed for a second season] and is pregnant with her second child with Edoardo.

Answer 3

It was kind of a medley of reasons, one being that Lauren Holly wanted to go after different roles, and try more movies as well. Also, Jenny Sheppard had a degenerative genetic disease, as is hinted in several episodes. The character was not going to last too long anyway, and the producers/directors wanted to end the season with a big bang, which involved killing someone off. If you think about it, she was the most logical choice, since she was, in a sense, the least stable main character. She was a big enough star to stir up emotions in viewers, yet small enough that the show could easily continue.

We discovered she had a degenerative, incurable genetic disease when Ducky asked Abby to run blood from a non-existent John Doe. Abby came back with results that indicated an unusual anomaly.

Answer 4

She died in a shoot-out in a diner about 50 miles from LA. she went there to face a foreign agent from her time in Paris. She had a terminal disease and it didn't matter what happened to her at that time. She was trying to elininate the agent to keep Gibbs alive.

Answer 5

No, her character Jenny was ill, but Lauren wanted to do other roles.

Answer 6

No one knows what really happen all that was said that her character's death had been planned for a long time, not much else is known.

Answer 7

She left in Season 5, Episode 18 (Judgement Day (Part 1)). Her character, Jenny Shepard, is killed in a gunfight in an abandoned bar in a desert in California.
