Jamie Lee Curtis Guest Stars On 'NCIS' As Potential New Love Interest For Gibbs (VIDEO)

Jamie Lee Curtis made a welcome return to television Tuesday night, guest-starring on "NCIS" (Tue., 8 p.m. EST on CBS) as a potential new love interest for Special Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon).

She played Dr. Samantha Ryan, who was working with the "NCIS" agents to investigate the alleged suicide of Navy reservist and psychiatrist Dr. Robert Banks.

However, as the case progressed she found herself taking more than a professional interest in Gibbs.

Finding herself awake in the wee hours, Ryan decided to take the initiative and call him up. As they flirted on the phone the sexual chemistry between the two was palpable and she asked if he wanted to have breakfast there and then.

To which Gibbs asked, "Are you asking me on a date, Ryan?" Her response? "It's the middle of the night, Gibbs. You tell me."

Jamie Lee Curtis will be back for more next week on "NCIS." Tune in to see if Gibbs and Ryan get it on, Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.

Though I have been a follower of NCIS since its beginning, that will end if JLCurtiss is on it regularly. She has no class, is arrogant and does not compliment the show, the cast or those choosing her. All the great actress choices, they could do much better!

That seems like an absence of chemistry--would have been fun to give that part to his real-life wife, Pam Dawber!

It's about time that there exists on television a hot romance between two middle aged people who are fully human despite their powerful career choices...what a lovely chance to watch an ice statue melt.

Doubtful that will happen because Gibbs prefers Redheads with long hair and this woman is white haired and she has short hair.

I think this is a great paring on TV's NCIS. They are both handsome for older actors and they are good actors to boot.... Love to see Curtis back into acting as she is refreshing and interesting.

It's a natural. After all ... Activia ... she's a "regular" girl.

She has a great set just like Jeanny did.

I'm tempted to say something snarky about how she's able to stand without tipping over from her enormous chest argumentation procedure, but I'm going to let it pass.

Curtis and Harmon have already had a "relationship" on screen. They were in Freaky Friday together. I actually like them together. But I do agree with everybody else. Give an on screen love interest to Tony, McGee or Abby.
