"Brian Dietzen has claimed that his NCIS character&amp;#039;s new love interest will stay on the show for some time. Dietzen plays Jimmy Palmer, whose last girlfriend Michelle Lee (Liza Lapira) was shot for being a mole. &amp;quot;My last girlfriend didn&amp;#039;t work out super well,&amp;quot; Dietzen joked to TV Guide.  &amp;quot;It lasted a while, but every time your girlfriend ends up being a double agent or getting shot by your boss, it&amp;#039;s hard to handle for your personal confidence.&amp;quot; However, Dietzen suggested that his new love interest will be more long-lasting. &amp;quot;The writers seem to like her because she&amp;#039;s mentioned several times over the course of the season,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Jimmy&amp;#039;s mind is drifting to her quite often now, and it gives something for the rest of the team to talk about. The only bummer is Jimmy&amp;#039;s got nobody to double date with on the team.&amp;quot; Dietzen also promised that fans of the show will enjoy the final five episodes of the season. &amp;quot;True fans will love how this is building up to the end,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If you really look at it, it&amp;#039;s a five-part finale. There are nuggets of the story dedicated to how this season is going to end, so you can&amp;#039;t miss any of it.&amp;quot; NCIS continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
