NCIS LA star Renée Felice Smith pays tribute to Eric Olsen with real tears

NCIS: LA season finale teased in promo clip

Following the NCIS Los Angeles cancellation earlier this year, Nell Jones star Renée Felice Smith reflected on her touching storyline with Marty Deeks (played by Eric Christian Olsen).

The actors first starred in the long-running CBS drama in its early days with Smith being introduced in season two, while Olsen first appeared in season one.

Their characters worked closely together at the Office of Special Projects (OSP) before Nell succeeded Hetty Lange’s (Linda Hunt) role as Operations Manager.

Despite the promotion, she decided to turn her back on criminals and left in season 12 to take on new opportunities in Tokyo with Eric Beale (Barrett Foa).

While the season 12 finale saw the skilled agents bid each other farewell, fans were left heartbroken by her exit and have since reflected on their moving storylines.

Taking to Instagram stories, a fan shared screenshots of one of Nell and Deek’s final scenes where he shared: “I’m gonna miss this and I think we did great work here.”

To which, Nell confirmed: “We did great work.”

Speaking on her new adventure, Deeks encouraged Nell: “Keep it up, make me proud,” as she added: “You make us proud Deeks, every day.”

The actress was taken aback by the fan-made collage and reposted it on her Instagram and tagged Olsen as she captioned it: “Real tears,” with two heart emojis.

Olsen also appeared to be moved by the throwback as he reposted Smith’s post onto his story, adding: “Miss this. Miss her.”

While Nell was missing for the remainder of the series, she made a surprise return in the series finale after Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Anna Kolcheck (Bar Paly) got married.

Although Hetty wasn’t able to make the celebration, she sent two tickets to Morocco with a letter expressing her happiness for the couple but also hinting she was in trouble.

Callen and Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) headed to the North African country before seeing a figure who looked like Hetty at the camp, but it was instead Nell.

This was a welcomed surprise for viewers as Nell revealed he had organised a team, with the help of old friends to help rescue Hetty.

Season 14 came to an end with Callen and Sam joining her to hunt down Hetty.

While the other agents’ storylines came to a satisfying end, the finale seemed to tease a potential spin-off with Nell at the helm of the mission.

NCIS Los Angeles seasons 1-14 are available to stream on CBS in the USA and on Disney+ in the UK.
