After all, Lucy Tara (played by Yasmine Al-Bustami) has cemented herself as one of NCIS Hawaii’s most popular characters in the first two seasons thanks to her budding romance with Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson). But with their turbulent romance hitting roadblock after roadblock, CBS viewers have been disheartened in recent weeks after Tara was missing from the action.
With this meaning it’s been five episodes of NCIS Hawaii – up to the time of writing – that fans have been without Tara and Whistler on-screen together, and everyone’s keen for an update.
The only crumb of information fans have came courtesy of an update from Whistler in season two’s Rising Sun back in mid-January, although she did return briefly in the NCISverse crossover.
“She’s good,” Whistler said to Jesse (Noah Mills). “She’s been sending me a lot of pictures but turns out the middle of the ocean looks like the middle of the ocean no matter what amazing country you’re anchored in.”
Off-camera, NCIS Hawaii’s executive producer Christopher Silber has now shed light on Al-Bustami’s comeback, although stopped short of revealing exactly when this will be.

TVLine’s Matt Webb Mitovich reported: “It does sound like Special Agent Tara is gonna get into it upon her (eventual) return.
“‘Yes. WHEN Lucy is back,’ EP Christopher Silber tells Inside Line, ‘there will be a good deal of action for her. We can’t wait.’”
So Tara may remain out of the picture for now, but it sounds like she’ll be thrown right into the thick of the drama when she is back.
This isn’t the first time a member of the NCIS Hawaii crew has had to address Al-Bustami’s future on the series.
Taking to Twitter during the latest instalment, NCIS Hawaii fan @AmaliasBabe pleaded: “Lucy tara come back it’s not funny anymore #ncishawaii,” followed by a crying emoji.
While @selndtroislaugh concurred: “I missed Kate this episode! And most of all I really miss Lucy, please bring her back soon #Kacy #NCISHawaii.”
Elsewhere, @McAeryn weighed in: “No Kate and still no sign of Lucy in this episode hmm, the Kacy reunion better be next week then #NCISHawaii.”
And @GoWhereYouGrow was quick to concur: “I really miss Lucy’s presence. #NCISHawaii.”
