NCIS star Pauley Perrette dropped a bombshell on fans of the show Wednesday morning when she announced that she was officially exiting the CBS drama at the end of Season 15.

Perrette played the fan-favorite character Abby for each and every season of the show. So, as you can imagine, the NCIS faithful were completely devastated to hear the news.

Rumors about Perrette's exit had been swirling for some time, but viewers had hoped that there wasn't any truth to them. Sadly, the rumors weren't lying.

So it is true that I am leaving NCIS...

Abby has been a major character on NCIS since day one. While other characters have left the show over the course of 15 seasons, she seemed like one who NCIS couldn't survive without.

Now, all of these fans are wondering what the show will look like when Abby's no longer around.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Favorite Character

Tons of fans took to social media to claim that Abby was their favorite character, and that they would be disappointed to see her go.

You and Gibbs were my favorite on the show... Mostly you because of your spunkyness and personality. I so wish I could just hug you rn. ???? pic.twitter.com/EKFcwhJ00V

No matter which character you tune in to watch, it's safe to say that Abby brings a ton to the show each and every week, and she's just as vital to NCIS' success as Agent Gibbs.

Well, at least you've got a whole season to find a new favorite character, right?

Omg! It was bad enough when Ziva and Tony left, but now Abby? Pauley, the show truly won't be the same without you. Best wishes, dear!

Many viewers tweeted at Perrette, wishing her well in whatever she chooses to do next.

While they will miss having her on the show, the NCIS faithful know that Perrette gave them her all, and they'll always respect and love her for it.

I get a kick out of Abby and, while I will miss her on the show something fierce, I wish you the best! Thank you for #16YearsofAbby! ?
