It’s been over a decade since we last saw Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler together! Thankfully, they’ll be rejoining each other in a special two-episode crossover event on April 1st, where Christopher Meloni (Elliot Stabler) will be returning to ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ which will be followed by his new spinoff ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’!
The two friends and co-stars sat down with People to discuss their undying friendship, the reunion, and how much this means to the fans. Check out the interview below that was uploaded with the following caption!
“‘Law & Order: SVU’ stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni reveal the bond that has kept them close through tough times and triumphs, and tease their upcoming onscreen reunion!”
Mariska Hargitay And Christopher Meloni Reuniting On April 1st For ‘Law & Order: SVU’
This has fans raving about the reunion, “Mariska: “the fans never moved on” Me: YOU GOT THAT RIGGGHHHTTTT!!!”, “This just proves that two heterosexual people of the opposite sex can be best friends without romantic subtext.”, “So glad that the producers never went down the ‘will they or won’t they’ storyline. Just a good platonic relationship.”, “There’s no better duo than Benson and Stabler. Their chimestry is so unique that can’t be compared with other duos.” and “I still can’t tell if their relationship was fueled by the character arch or the character arch was inspired by their relationship?it’s truly seemless. I cannot wait to get the Benson-Stabler energy back.”
This is going to be a huge event for the network and these two actors. I’m excited to see this reunion. As a child back in 1999 and the early 2000’s, I remember hearing this theme song play as my grandfather watched it in the other room at night. I know he would have loved to be able to see this.
