Thanks to both Ashley and Daniel for the heads up.
CBS drama NCIS: New Orleans is expanding its regular cast with the promotion of recurring players Shalita Grant and Daryl Mitchell. They join returning stars Scott Bakula, Lucas Black, Zoe McLellan, Rob Kervovich and CCH Pounder.

That was expected given the last scene of the finale. And both NCIS and NCIS: LA also promoted a recurring player to regular for season 2.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think both work well in the show although I wouldn't have minded if Diane Neal was promotes to regular as well. But hopefully Agent Percy and Patton bring something new to the show. Season 1 wasn't that excellent, so I hope the quality picks up next season.
With all Neal's appearance I thought she would be promoted to regular. I must I don't know about Shalita Grant, she didn't make an impression on me yet. Maybe with the new season I could see her fitting in.
ReplyDeleteI think all the fans have been pulling for Diane Neal to become a regular on either NCIS. I agree,season one wasn't that good. They had a few good eps and they seemed to gel more towards the end of the season. Lets hope for a stronger S2!
ReplyDeleteI think Borin would fit in more with New Orleans. In her first NCIS appearance, it was established she was very much like Gibbs. While that seems to have been mostly dropped, I think NOLA would be best for her.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the characters but the cases were mostly forgettable. Probably can't remember half of them. Some episodes were decent but nothing really stood out for me. The Baitfish arc probably made for the best episodes, though I wasn't a huge fan of the finale. Something that I did enjoy were the recurring characters like Laurel and Councilman Hamilton.
Hopefully Neal will continue to make guest appearances here and there. Grant appeared in four episodes and Pride offered her a job in the finale. I really hope season 2 will get better, maybe the two new characters can make it more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis series is my LEAST favorite of the NCIS shows, it seems to try to hard to be "southern charm". Do not like Pounder at all as the ME.
ReplyDeleteVERY Happy they were promoted! Really liked both characters and actors. And I liked Shalita the best out of the recurring agents they were introducing. She fit in the best IMO.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear this. I liked both characters. Daryl's funny and I like his banter with Sebastian. I'm glad they are adding another Agent.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling these two would be series regulars in the Season 2.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see their names in the beginning credits.
Hopefully, the team will have it's own New Orleans P.D. liaison.
