When Kate Todd was killed off in NCIS many fans reacted with anger, asking why she had been "sacked" from the show.

The producer Donald Bellisario responded to this criticism by stating that Sasha Alexander had left the show voluntarily, at her own request. She had hot expected the show to last past the first year, and this was in fact the first show she had spent a second year with.

The fact that "she jumped" rather than that she "was pushed" might explain why the replacement character is so similar.

The producers knew what character they wanted in the lead female role, and so when she left they re-cast the role, but left the basic character mostly unchanged.

Having learnt from the past the producers perhaps realised that pulling a"Darrin Stephens" style swop (Dick York to Dick Sargent in Bewitched) with out trying to explain the change in actor would be result in the show losing credibility.

Did Goldenflower know Sasha?

Everyone knows that Sasha fell in love with Tigerstar accidentally, because she thaught that Tigerstar was a kind cat. But Tigerstar loved Goldenflower and after regretted mating with her, because he got such kind hearted kits. He also regretted in mating with Goldenflower because he could have been deputy after Lionheart , (if Tigerstar killed him Goldenflower will never forgive him, because Goldenflower snd Lionheart are littermates) He mated with Sasha because he wanted strong determind kits, like Sasha who was brave enough to leave her Kittypet home. Goldenflower never knew Tigerstar was evil but she did, took care of her kits no matter what happened. Sasha left her kits. Goldenflower knew Sasha.
