Vanessa Lachey continues to process the abrupt end of NCIS: Hawai’i, sharing her emotions in a heartfelt Instagram post. Reflecting on her time filming the debut episode, she revisited the same spot with her husband, Nick Lachey, capturing the moment in a video.
In her May 1 post, Lachey expressed her gratitude for the experience while acknowledging the show’s end. She recounted the bond she formed with the ocean during late-night shoots and the promises made to protect the essence of Hawai’i while sharing its beauty with the world. Despite the show’s conclusion, Lachey found solace in the cyclical nature of life, recognizing that all things are transient and meant to be passed on to the next generation of dreamers.
Lachey extended her wishes to her cast and crew, urging others to hire them for their exceptional talents. Ending with a heartfelt “A Hui Hou,” a Hawaiian phrase meaning “until we meet again,” she thanked the fans for their unwavering support.
The cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i came as a shock to Lachey and fans alike, with the show’s third season finale now serving as its series finale. Lachey’s portrayal of Jane Tennant, the first female lead in the NCIS franchise, made history, and she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity while navigating the unexpected news.
As Lachey continues to process the news, she remains grateful for the support of the fans and the memories created during her time on the show. The series finale of NCIS: Hawai’i is scheduled to air on Monday, May 6 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
