Ziva's Replacement?

Well more details are being revealed about the upcoming 11th season for NCIS. As I sadly found out a few weeks ago Cote de Pablo who plays Ziva is leaving. She is scheduled to tie up her storyline in the first two episodes. It seems it wasn't about money, apparently she had been offered two significant raises to stay. Cote just wants to "move on" apparently.

It has just been announced that there will eventually be a replacement about half-way through the season around January. In the meantime between Ziva leaving and the arrival of her "replacement" there will be a few "fill-in" characters.

Ziva's permanent replacement will be a character named Bishop and is described as "bright, educated, athletic, attractive, fresh-faced, focused and somewhat socially awkward. She has a mysterious mixture of analytic brilliance, fierce determination and idealism. She’s traveled extensively, but only feels comfortable at home.” 

Oh Boy, they apparently are going to finalize the Tony (Michael Weatherly) + Ziva romance bit, and the "will they or won't they?" UGH I hope I hope I hope that they don't get them together. I am soooooooo glad that they decided not to Kill Ziva that she will move on to something else, I just hope that it isn't into Tony's arms.
