NCIS Los Angeles Season 13: Finally a baby for Deeks and Kensi? The showrunner tells about the sequel

NCIS Los Angeles saw some uproar in the casting during the Season 12 finale with the departures of two iconic characters, namely Eric Beale (Barrett Foa) and Nell Jones (Renee Felice Smith). Will Season 13 in turn offer certain on-screen evolutions? This is the question TVLine asks R. Scott Gemmill, the showrunner.

A baby for the couple? A difficult subject

Asked about the possible arrival of a child for the Kensi-Deeks couple, who recently seemed to want it more than anything else, Gemmill reacted defensively, “It’s a huge dilemma for us as writers because you don’t want your characters to look like careless people.“.

What is he talking about? Family life just isn’t the best idea when you’re an NCIS agent, he says,”Is it really a wise decision to have a child if you risk your life at work every day? It’s a legit question for both of you“.

It is true that Gibbs’ example in NCIS she could cool off (his wife and daughter were kidnapped and then killed), as was Ziva’s who was forced to live undercover by pretending to be dead to protect her daughter.

An open door

Nevertheless, where this mindset should disappoint fans of the bunch, it is thankfully not definitive. On the contrary, even if the arrival of a child does not seem to have the highest priority,”Whether it’s through the possibility of Kensi getting pregnant or an adoption, it’s a complicated subject because you want them to be happy without appearing irresponsible.“The showrunner cannot close the door to such a development”,This is something we will explore more as we go along“.

In short, it is not today that a child will invite himself on the screen, even if the series would not end without such a happy ending for the couple. So be patient.
