http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_Lauren_Holly_leaving_NCIS

"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 after wards about NCIS"


Not sure if this is the best answer but its an answer.

Yes, she was on Picket Fences for 4 seasons so I'm sure she could remember how it was but whatever..... I liked her role on Picket Fences, she was also very hot on that show. I never like the attitude of her character "Jenny Shepard" on NCIS. I don't fault that to Lauren Holly but to the writers, I thought she played the part well but I just wish her character would have been written with a better attitude.

Her character got ugly in the end. The whole obsession with the Frog just ruined it...AND THEN making it look like Jenny had been wrong the whole time just made it worst. Wouldn't be surprised if she DID want to leave.

Some say it was TPTB's decision, but others said she was the one who wanted out.

According to an on-line bog site--Holly and Mark Harmon were butting heads behind the scenes and Mark won

If this is true, No surprise that Mark won, after all the show is built around him!

Kate:Except finding a decent barber, Gibbs can do pretty much anything he says he can.

Mark had to fight this is his only job since "summer school" but he is great in NCIS

Um, Jgalatzan, Mark Harmon has had dozens of jobs since Summer School, including a few TV series. He's worked pretty steadily most of that time. I agree that he's great in NCIS.
