[edit] Character Development
Tobias Fornell's character has evolved greatly since his first appearance in the first episode of the series "Yankee White." In this episode Fornell and Leroy Jethro Gibbs do not know each other. At some point backstory was the subject of a retroactive continuity revision, in which his backstory was altered to deepen the relationship between Gibbs and Fornell. The revisions included the following elements:
- Fornell addresses Gibbs by his surname in public, while using his given name in private,
- Fornell and Gibbs were both married to Diane, and subsequently divorced her.
- Fornell and Gibbs have a longstanding and strong friendship as demonstrated by Gibbs efforts to help Fornell when either he or his family are threatened.
