She\u2019ll first appear in the two-part <em>NCIS<\/em> Season 23 premiere, and her presence will shed light on Alden\u2019s past and how he became the man we\u2019ve been following since early Season 19. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tvline.com\/casting-news\/ncis-nancy-travis-cast-alden-parker-sister-season-23-1235488269\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TVLine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TVLine<\/a> also learned from <em>NCIS<\/em> showrunner Steven D.

She\u2019s this super squared-away Navy admiral, and then you\u2019ve got Alden Parker, who\u2019s got this \u2018bad kid \u2018seed. Those two are going to come to a head, and what\u2019s funny about that is it\u2019s one thing to have it happen over Thanksgiving dinner, it\u2019s a whole other thing to happen in the middle of a global crisis!

I\u2019m already braced for the sibling bickering that will erupt between Harriet and Alden, although it\u2019s unfortunate that it comes in the midst of unfortunate circumstances, And I\u2019m not just talking about this \u201cglobal crisis\u201d that Binder teased, for which he did not reveal any specific details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the end of <em>NCIS<\/em> Season 22, Alden Parker came home to discover that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/ncis-season-22-finale-delivered-020000940.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Roman Parker, his and Harriet\u2019s father, had been murdered;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Roman Parker, his and Harriet\u2019s father, had been murdered<\/a> by Kansas City mob boss Carla Marino. She did this as revenge for the role she believed Alden Parker played in her son dying in a motorcycle accident years earlier. While there was no mention of Roman in the report of Nancy Travis\u2019 casting, I find it hard to believe that Alden and Harriet won\u2019t discuss their father\u2019s death. That\u2019s too big an event to just gloss over and have Alden grapple with on his own at a later date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Alden Parker does indeed end up <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/ncis-season-23-might-look-162206113.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:going outside the bounds of the law;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">going outside the bounds of the law<\/a> to take down Carla Marino, like Gary Cole speculated to me back in May, it may take his sister working with the other members of the team to pull him away from the darkness.
