Omar Adom Zidan, known as OA, has recently been absent from a significant episode of the hit series FBI, sparking speculation about his future on the show. Introduced in 2018, OA has been a vital character and special agent, frequently teaming up with Maggie Bell to tackle high-stakes cases. In the latest episode titled “Manhunt,” viewers were left to follow Maggie alone as she delves into a critical human trafficking investigation, raising concerns about OA’s potential departure. However, the promo for the next episode has alleviated worries regarding his exit. Here are the latest updates.
Where is Omar Adom Zidan aka OA, and is he leaving FBI?
While the next episode’s promo lacks specifics on OA’s absence, it is possible that he was temporarily sidelined due to the show’s casting rotation policy. Importantly, OA is not leaving FBI.
The promotional material for the upcoming episode, titled “Hitched,” confirms OA’s return as he partners with Maggie once again to tackle a high-profile mafia case. This episode centers around the shocking murders of two jurors, prompting an urgent investigation by the team. As the investigation unfolds, they discover that the jurors were not the original targets of the attack.
Things take a personal turn for Scola, who suspects a former drill instructor from his military past may be linked to the current case. OA’s recent absence could be attributed to the emotional toll from previous missions, which has resulted in Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille advising him to manage his emotions during operations. This might explain his need for a brief hiatus to recharge.
In a previous interview, Omar expressed his passion for the series, stating, “Never. I want to be in every episode.” With this commitment and enthusiasm for FBI, it’s unlikely he will be leaving the show anytime soon.
