In NCIS: Who is Joy Aaronson? Who Plays her?

The eleventh episode of the suspenseful television series “NCIS” on CBS focuses on Alden Parker (Gary Cole), whose identity is stolen and linked to the killing of a Navy Ensign named Ashley Watts (Leah Grosjean). As a means of finding a solution to the problem, the NCIS team investigates possible killers. Their inquiries eventually lead to Ryan Aaronson, who had been dating Ashley. He meets Ryan’s mother as a result of Ryan’s involvement in the investigation, and the two of them piece together their history together. In this episode, we get a fascinating look into Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker’s past, and Ryan’s mother Joy Sullivan Aaronson plays a central role. The audience must be dying to learn more about the mysterious new character. Fans are curious about the identity of the actress who played Joy in the twenty-eleventh episode, “Bridges” written by Chad Gomez Creasey and directed by Lionel Coleman. Here are tvacute ideas on the matter Who is Joy Aaronson? and Who Plays her?

Who is Joy Aaronson?

Joy Aaronson is the mother of Ryan Aaronson (Austin Caldwell), a Navy accountant who is suspected of Ashley’s murder in this episode. However, the situation is more nuanced than that because she is also Alden Parker’s ex-girlfriend. They don’t exactly have the best history, and reuniting for the purpose of a murder investigation isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. When Alden Parker was young, he fell in love with Joy Aaronson. Parker’s childhood sweetheart, Aaronson, always felt the same way about him. However, her parents were against the romance and were uprooted to keep their daughter away from Parker. Alden Parker wrote to Joy Aaronson several times after she moved away, but she never responded, leading Parker to conclude that his letters never reached her.  Joy Aaronson, like Parker, continued on with her life and told Ryan’s dad about it. She kept Parker’s letters to her safe because they were all that remained of their pristine romance.

Joy Aaronson and Alden Parker are reconciled

Joy Aaronson hasn’t forgotten Parker, even though she’s been waiting decades to see him, despite the fact that she’s moved on to a new man. When Alden Parker eventually settled down with Vivian Kolchak, he still held dear the memories he had of his Joy. In an effort to better understand her “rival” and the woman who holds the most sway over her husband’s decisions, Vivian sat down with Joy Aaronson. When parker learns that Ryan was involved in the murder, those old feelings come flooding back, setting the stage for their reunion after so many years. But Joy Aaronson, despite her suffering, is a devoted mother who will stop at nothing to safeguard her child. Joy Aaronson and Alden Parker are reconciled, but her feelings for the “NCIS” lead are still unknown. In the twelfth episode of the twenty-first season, Alden Parker hints to Joy Aaronson that he still cares about her. Since they are both now single and have made up for their past differences, she might give him another chance.
