"NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3 has gotten off to a fine start but Brody's absence is pinching everyone. It is not just the viewers who are complaining about her departure. Even her group cannot make it without her and since there is no official update about her return, the future seems pretty bleak for fans of Zoe McLellan.
"NCIS: New Orleans" team is affected by Brody's departure and it is causing them major grief, reports Morning News USA. Percy is angry with her for leaving the team and Sebastian is heartbroken because he has been dumped in a way. Had she not left, he would have asked her out. Pride is also feeling bad as he feels he let Brody down by not giving her what she wanted.
In the premiere episode of "NCIS: New Orleans," Pride was seen telling the team that Brody left not because of her affair with Russo. She was thinking of leaving the group for some time and finally she took the tough step, which did not go down well with her group. All felt dejected but some members accepted her decision quietly.
Meanwhile, one does not really know if the badass agent will ever make a comeback. Speculations and rumors related to her exit have been circulating around for a while, reports FX News Call. According to the news outlet, Zoe McLellan left the show because she was underpaid. She had asked for a raise but the producers declined her request.
Another rumor suggests that it was her character's negative progression in Season 2 that made her bid goodbye to the show. Some media reports also say that it was her post-divorce life and son that were keeping her busy and thus, she was unable to devote time to the show.
Notably, Season 2 of "NCIS: New Orleans" saw Brody falling for a traitor. Her romance led to major trouble for her team and she gained a black record. Though the team managed to defeat the villain, Brody's credentials came under clouds. She left the show after Season 2 and till now, there is no official confirmation if she will ever return.
