Now that Kensi and Deeks are all coupled up on NCIS: Los Angeles, it looks like Cupid has set his sights on Callen.

In fact, Callen (Chris O’Donnell) is going to get more than a little cozy with Joelle (Elizabeth Bogush), who recently hinted that she’d like to be a part of Callen’s life. “I think it’s good for him,” O’Donnell told TVGuide.com when we visited the set. “Callen needs a little love in his life.”

However, they’ll have to navigate some serious trust issues along the way. After all, Callen did lie to her about what he does for a living. “He doesn’t let a lot of people into his life,” O’Donnell says. “He’s so insecure about that. He doesn’t know anything about his real life.”

But Callen may have reason to be cautious. Let’s not forget that executive producer Shane Brennan teased at the start of Season 6 that Callen’s new love interest would have a mysterious connection to his past. “[It] ends up being connected to someone that we’ve seen in several past episodes,” O’Donnell says. “There’s more to the story.”

Julie Chen is trying on her acting shoes.

The Talk co-host guest-stars on Monday’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles as Nancy Kelly, a U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia who narrowly escapes an assassination attempt. Sam (LL Cool J) and Callen (Chris O’Donnell) are brought in to get to the bottom of the terrorism plot, and the episode contains “the shootout of all shootouts” as a result. Check out a sneak peek below.

This is the first time Chen is portraying a fictional character instead of appearing as herself (as she’s done on Madam Secretary and The Millers). Earlier this week, the Big Brother host – who says she rehearsed her lines “15 to 20 times” with her husband, CBS president Les Moonves – tweeted a behind-the-scenes picture of herself on the NCIS: LA set.

“This has been very intimidating to me,” Chen says in the sneak peek, exclusive to TVGuide.com. “I’m not a trained actor. I don’t remember feeling this scared since I first started my career and I had to give my first live report. … It’s a new venture for me.”

NCIS: LA airs Mondays at 10/9c on CBS. Check out a sneak peek of Monday’s episode below.
