The most recent season of NCIS (its 14th, by the way) ended on a multitude of cliffhangers, one of which involved Agent Alexandra Quinn.

Now it looks like that Quinn's cliffhanger will lead to her exit, as actress Jennifer Esposito has confirmed to Deadlinethat she has left the show.

"It was a great experience," that actress said in a statement. "I could not have asked for a better opportunity than to work with the NCIS cast and producers."

Esposito only joined the cast at the beginning of the most recent season, and it is currently unknown if she will make future guest appearances on the show.

The actress will co-star alongside John Travolta in the upcoming Speed Kills and will continue to appear in The Affair as Dominic West's sister (or rather, his character's sister). That show was recently renewed for a fourth season.

Gary Glasberg, who served as the creative force behind both NCIS and its New Orleans spin-off , sadly passed away last year at the age of 50.

Following the news of his passing, the cast of NCIS paid tribute to Glasberg's legacy: "Gary was our rock, our cheerleader, our team captain. He inspired us with his leadership, his creative instincts and keen insight.

"NCIS will not be the same without him, and each of us will miss his smiling face and unwavering humour, which lifted us every day."
