Is Bluebird "Blue" Gleeson Leaving NCIS: Sydney? Latest Updates from Co-Creator Morgan O’Neill
Fans of NCIS: Sydney are buzzing with speculation following the absence of Mavournee Hazel’s character, Bluebird "Blue" Gleeson, during the season premiere. Questions are swirling about whether Blue has left the show for good. In a recent interview, co-creator Morgan O’Neill shed light on Blue’s situation and what lies ahead for the beloved character.
What Happened to Blue in NCIS: Sydney?
In a conversation with TV Insider, O’Neill discussed the dramatic conclusion of Season 2, where Blue returns home to find an unexpected visitor in her living room. "The end of the second season of NCIS: Sydney shows Blue coming back after her time in Darwin," O’Neill explained. "However, she discovers a mysterious woman in her home, and it’s clear from Blue’s reaction that this visitor is not welcome."
As Season 3 kicks off, fans learn that Blue has resigned from her position. "We open in Season 3, and Blue is no longer part of the team. Her departure has left everyone a bit unsettled because she was such a cherished member," O’Neill revealed. There’s speculation among the team when they see Trigger, played by Claude Jabbour, join them, leading them to mistakenly believe he’s replacing Blue.
A Surprising Departure
Blue’s resignation came in an unusual manner—via video message rather than a formal letter—which raised eyebrows among both fans and characters alike. O’Neill noted, "While the team is trying to maintain professionalism and a positive outlook, deep down, they all sense that something isn’t quite right." He hinted that more clarity about Blue’s situation will emerge in Episode 2, teasing, "When we get to Episode 2, we’ll understand why."
What to Expect in Season 3
NCIS: Sydney Season 3 premiered on October 14, immediately following the intense events of the Season 2 finale, which featured a dramatic gunfight and revealed Etienne’s role in the turmoil. As the plot thickens, viewers are eager to see how Blue’s absence will impact the team dynamics moving forward. The next episode is set to air on Tuesday, October 21, promising more twists and revelations.
