Sasha Alexander NCIS | NCIS Return
Sasha joined NCIS as Secret Service/NCIS Special Agent Caitlin “Kate” Todd in 2003. Sasha’s character replaced Vivian Blackadder, played by Robyn Lively, who had appeared in the backdoor pilot episodes “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown” on JAG. Its official pilot episode “Yankee White” aired on September 23, 2003, on CBS. Her two-year tenure on the show ended in May 2005 when her character, Kate, is murdered by a terrorist who shoots her in the head during the last few seconds of the season-two finale, “Twilight”.
Its official explanation for Sasha’s departure was that “she asked to be let out of her contract to pursue other opportunities”. In statements made by Sasha since her departure from NCIS, Sasha has made clear that her problem with the show was that she felt the workload was too physically demanding for her.
Over subsequent television series work, episode counts were considerably smaller, and Sasha’s character portrayals required less physical effort than her role on NCIS. In Sasha’s final appearances in the two-part episode “Kill Ari”, she was credited as a special guest star. Sasha’s character Caitlin Todd reappeared in a “what if” scenario with Anthony DiNozzo for the NCIS 200th episode “Life Before His Eyes” in 2012, however, Sasha did not return to film new footage for the episode; rather footage from the second season episode “SWAK” became recut to incorporate her into the new episode.
