(CNN)Monday night was a sad one for fans of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs on "NCIS." After more than 18 seasons Mark Harmon has left the show. Monday's episode, titled "Great Wide Open," served as his exit. In it, Harmon as Gibbs is in Alaska with Special Agent Timothy McGee (played by Sean Murray) when Gibbs tells him "I'm not going back, Tim. I'm not going back home." The show's executive producer and showrunner Steve Binder told Deadline that Mark will continue to be an "integral part of the fabric of the show." "Our north star has always been staying true to our characters, and that truth has always guided the stories we tell and where those characters go," Binder said. "So regarding the future of Gibbs, as long-time fans of the show may have noticed over the years...never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out." edition.cnn.com/2021/10/12/entertainment/mark-harmon-ncis/index.html |

Sounds like he wants a break. Leaving possible returns in the future. My Mom figured he was leaving the way they were phasing his character out.

I always imagined Mark Harmon leaving would be the end of the show, curious as to how long it can last without him

Yeah Mark Hamon/Gibbs leaving would be a perfect way to end the show.

Spin-off? Officer Gibbs, Alaska Wildlife Trooper? Sheriff Gibbs of Cicely, AK?

Spin-off? Officer Gibbs, Alaska Wildlife Trooper? Sheriff Gibbs of Cicely, AK? I'd vote for Sheriff Gibbs of Cicely, AK - I was such a fan of Northern Exposure and its quirky characters.

Spin-off? Officer Gibbs, Alaska Wildlife Trooper? Sheriff Gibbs of Cicely, AK? This guy is 70, time for retirement, and not the Gronk kind of retirement.

I'm currently between Seasons 8 and 9 of my initial run-through. I haven't been watching the current episodes, and I intend to continue to avoid them to avoid spoilers, but I am aware that DiNozzo, Abby, and David eventually leave one way or another (I don't know how, and I'd like to keep it that way).
Is Ducky still around? With Gibbs' departure, that would make him the last of the original core characters.

Plenty of people work well into their 70s nowadays. The current President of the United States in 78 soon to be 79. I don't think Harmon necessarily wants to retire. I think that it's just that he's played this role for almost 20 years. I'm sure he wants to try something else at this point.
