Rumors of a feud between “NCIS” co-stars Rocky Carroll and Wilmer Valderrama have surfaced, stirring intrigue among fans of the long-running series. As actors known for their compelling performances on the show, the alleged discord has caught the attention of many, especially with the delay in the upcoming season due to industry-wide strikes.

The speculation about tensions between the two began to circulate following the departure of series lead Mark Harmon. This change left a significant void within the show’s dynamic, reportedly leading to a silent battle for dominance between Carroll, a seasoned member of the cast since 2008, and Valderrama, who made his series debut in 2016.

Sources close to the production suggest that Valderrama has been vocal about his role’s significance on the show, potentially leading to competitive tensions with Carroll. This situation is believed to have been exacerbated by the current delays and uncertainties surrounding the production schedule, which have put additional stress on the cast and crew.

Despite these rumors, public interactions between Carroll and Valderrama tell a different story. On social media, both actors have frequently shown support for one another. Valderrama has expressed his gratitude towards his colleagues, including Carroll, for their support and camaraderie both on and off the set. Likewise, Carroll has been seen congratulating Valderrama on his professional achievements and personal milestones.

The true nature of their relationship remains speculative as neither actor has publicly addressed the feud rumors. Fans of the show are left wondering whether this rumored behind-the-scenes tension will spill over into their on-screen interactions, potentially affecting the chemistry that viewers have come to love.

As the new season of “NCIS” approaches, all eyes will be on Carroll and Valderrama to see how these developments unfold. Whether the rumors are unfounded or indicative of a deeper rift, the forthcoming episodes will undoubtedly be scrutinized for signs of either genuine camaraderie or subtle discord.
