NCIS

Yeah, I just caught the JAG episodes as well. I never did the first time around, so she was knew to me. The character had some potential. I can think of a few reasons why she wasn't seen after. One, maybe the producers and writers didn't like her character that much and decided to start new with Kate. Or she didn't want to reprise her character so they wrote her out. It's too bad, out of Ziva and Kate she was the prettier one. Course that's not the best reason to have a character lol.

Victims, aren't we all.

As you know, Robyn Lively played Special Agent Vivian Blackadder in the JAG Season 8 introductory episodes of NCIS called "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown." If you're able to go back and watch these episodes, you'll notice that NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by the gorgeous Mark Harmon) reminds Agent Blackadder at least two times that she will have to 'get her suit out of mothballs.' By that he means that if she doesn't shape up and do her job correctly, he will send her back to where she came from -- the FBI (hence the suit reference).

It is because Blackadder stared at the terrorist, thereby blowing their cover, that Gibbs was almost seriously hurt when the terrorist detonated a hand grenade. It is never stated, but we are led to believe that this was the last straw for Gibbs, and so no more Blackadder at NCIS.

It may be that in 'real life' Robyn was not available to reprise her role when NCIS started up as a series two years later. Maybe? Maybe not? I don't know for sure.

However, had Robyn come back, then there probably wouldn't have been any reason for Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander) to join Gibbs' team after she resigned as a Secret Service Agent in the Season 1 series premiere "Yankee White."

I LOVE NCIS!

On wiki it said that the test audience didn't like her character and they wrote her out. She's cute but not as stunning or interesting as Caitlin and Ziva.
