Connie Nielsen


Next week! But Mariska will be back sooner than you think -- you'll see her in her own episode in October undercover, and don't be surprised if she pays a visit when Connie is still on the show.

COMMENTS

what the hell is wrong with rhese people getting det.beck(connie neilson)and elliot(chris meloni)together in the show was a bad desision i know mariska was pregnant but come on it is not write all e/o fans you go and protect that just like me.

To those who love Dani:
Get your own board! This is Mariska's all they way! Dani-lovers will not be tolerated. Olivia-lovers rock! Long live our SVU queen! And may all E/O lovers still hang onto that good old ship!

i know mariskas on maternity leave but where are they pretending that Benson is while mariskas out?

Posted by ali October 13, 2006
 

i didnt like dani before tuesday episode but now i really dont like her after what she did to munch she wouldnt even be there for her fellow police officer she makes a lousy partner. i want olivia back! i wont watch until olivia and elliot are partners again!

I love Dani...I want her to stay on and maybe Olivia can join the Friday Law and Order. Dani has Great Chemistry with Elliot

Posted by Steve October 11, 2006
 

I'm sorry I know you all have probably gone over this again and again but I have to ask. Why is Olivia gone, is she in a movie or something?

Posted by TC October 10, 2006
 

Neal,
I watched the first episode with Dani. She's tolerable but you're going to ruin any respect I might have for her if you put her together with Elliot while he's still married. It's OOC for him anyway. Besides, her brief stint only increases the Team Ellvia movement. You guys rock!

Posted by Katherine October 04, 2006
 

i tried i really tried im half way thru the 2nd episode i cant do it i cant watch svu until olivias back ill start watching when olivia and elliot are partners again i dont like dani

Posted by ellen October 03, 2006
 

So glad Olivia is not leaving, I was thinking she wasn't coming back. Look forward to the season, this is my favorite show.

Posted by Kathy October 03, 2006
 

1 down 5 more to go untill dani is gone for good i dont like dani i want olivia and elliot back

Posted by ellen September 28, 2006
 

I just wanted to send my prayers and wishes to Mariska and her family with her father's loss. I feel for her, and I hope she gets through this tough loss with the wonderful people she has around her.

who was the actor who played hayley's ex-boyfriend?

Posted by Brooke September 25, 2006
 

i dont like dani already i dont think i can watch svu until elliot an d olivia are back toghther again its not svu without e/o. there chemistry is unbelievable the best on tv. put them toghether romantically.I dont like dani.....

Posted by ellen September 24, 2006
 

fault was a stupid episode and because of it we have to suffer with connie...WHY???

Posted by ams September 20, 2006
 

Neal,
Honestly. I got so upset when I found out that Elliot and Dani were getting it on, I had take an advil. Even when someone mentions her name it causes my SVU friends and I to shudder. You did a poor job replacing Mariska. So poor, my friends and I have decided to boycott the show until Mariska comes back. Long Live Chis/Mariska, Elliot/Olivia! Perfect friends, perfect partners.

Posted by Katherine September 20, 2006
 

I am disappointed by the uneven portrayal of so-called eco-terrorists. While some radical individuals do destroy property, rarely is anyone ever injured. These people are unfairly labeled terrorists when they are standing up against oppression, as people once had to do for women and blacks. The animals suffer immensely and for what - shampoo?

Posted by sasha September 19, 2006
 

Please keep Olivia on the show. If she has to go, can the character just take a 'leave of absence' and come back later?

Posted by Kelly Crutcher September 19, 2006
 

Was that Liza Weil who played the FBI informant?

Posted by Joto September 19, 2006
 

Wow! I can't wait to see what SVU has in store for us. It keeps getting better! amazing how they never are short of ideas! This new season looks promising!

Posted by Michelle September 19, 2006
 

What actress played the FBI informant?

Posted by Joto September 19, 2006
 

What actress played the FBI informant???

Posted by Joto September 19, 2006
 

I thought last season was one of the best seasons for any long running dramas. But tonight's episode is just as great.


I truly love the intense emotional stories. This police drama is some of the best character-driven, good acting required TV shows ever.
I am looking forward to this season.

Posted by Seleina September 19, 2006
 

Please go back to Mariska and Chris as partners... very disappointing, the show has lost its spark. They make the show with their team.

Posted by Lisa September 19, 2006
 

How can I be an extra on Law and Order?

And are there going to be episodes with the cast from CSI and regular Law and Order. I like it when everyone comes together to solve a tough crime.

And why do the suspects talk to the police in the interegation room without their lawyers in every episode? Who is stupid enough to do that in real life?

Posted by C.Diddy September 19, 2006
 

i can't believe that olivia is gone (for a while) after only one episode! it's a nice twist, i just can't believe you pulled it so soon. elliot is seems so lost without her. i love this show though! great job! keep 'em coming!

Posted by Lindsey September 19, 2006
 

So I take it that there will be a follow-up of this eco-terrorism episode later this season?

Posted by Nicole September 19, 2006
 

ROGUE MODS DELETING MY POSTS!!!!!

Posted by juice locker September 19, 2006
 

Also -- Was this episode at all inspired by V for Vendetta (head shaved for terrorist cell run by insider in Great Big Conspiracy -- line, "this one is going to light up the skies," mask behind which domestic terrorist hides, etc.)

Also-also: Were Star (sp.?) and the Conf.Inf. doubl-agent supposed to be like sisters, or was Star supposed to be in love with her (like V's replacement in Vendetta was in love with the lesbian movie star)?

Posted by Leatherargento September 19, 2006
 

isn't what the federal agent (i forget her name) used on liv called emotional blackmail? why did she fall for it? i know that the agent is working for the greater good, but she's extremely hasty in her judgement sometimes. she could have roped in someone else (a real insider of EDGE(?) perhaps). anyway, i really hope liv returns SOON.

Posted by mithu September 19, 2006
 

I agree with all the posters that mention how much we love the relationship between Olivia and Elliot. I also agree that they can't take that next step and that makes the show that much better. Perhaps Elliot will move further with his new partner? Send my best to "Coach"

Posted by Bill September 19, 2006
 

I really hope Benson isn't gone for long...I love the dichotomy of her and Stabler...they play off of one another with such ease, it is going to be hard to replace that chemistry

Posted by Leigh September 19, 2006
 

Is Olivia coming back to the show in later epiosdes?cause if she isn't, I don't think I will watch the show for much longer.

Posted by amanda September 19, 2006
 

Please tell me Olivia is coming back!!!!, I do not want to see the them get together, but be partners again YES.

Posted by Beatriz Schmitz September 19, 2006
 

You always find great talent. Particularly impressed with the young girl who played the terrorist tonight.

Why is Mariska gone until october? What so long?

Posted by Nikky September 19, 2006
 

Listen, I don't know what this is all about but I can tell you one thing, Law and Order SVU is the only tv show i have ever watched and enjoyed on a consistent basis and i will NOT be watching it without mariska hargitay...definately. so please bring her back quickly...

Posted by Anonymous September 19, 2006
 

this was the worst i have ever seen and i have them all very surprise at this

Posted by cindy whistler September 19, 2006
 

The episode was great; the twist-even berrer. Personal stories have never been sucessful on the regular Law and order but on SVU they really pull you into the show. Why dies it work so well here?

p.s. - can I be a dead body on a show?

Posted by Keith Newton September 19, 2006
 

She's my favorite character, and such an amazing actress! I hope she's doing okay with her baby and especially with her father's death. I'm glad that she got to thank him in her award speech before he died though.

Posted by Lexi September 19, 2006
 

Is Olivia coming back?!?!?!?!?!?! I really hope this Show goes on for a while its the best show ONEARTH!!!!!! ps Benson and olvia need to get together!

I loved the season premier.
I thought the show was great

Posted by Lisa September 19, 2006
 

great show. I am glad to stop watching reruns.

Posted by Gigi September 19, 2006
 

Dear Neal Baer,

Why was Munch only in the episode for a total of three minutes? Why didn't we know how Stabler was doing in the hospital? Why do you always end an episode like a cliffhanger?

Posted by Leah September 19, 2006

Don't think that I will continue to watch the show if Benson gets written out

How many episodes are going to be in this season? Have you seen baby August? Is he cute??

Posted by Chelle September 19, 2006
 

u should totally get Benson and Stabler together when she fets back...kind of like he realizes he doesn't realize how much he cares about her until she's gone.

Posted by Sammy September 19, 2006
 

Watching SVU is like watching a major feature film every week. How do you keep the pace and suspense going for each episode? It is quite obviously the best show on TV and it's the only one I watch without fail.

Posted by Alyson September 19, 2006
 

Please let Olivia come back!!! She can't be gone for good! I love her, she's the voice of compassion on the show

Posted by Sheena September 19, 2006
 

First off...my family and I would like to send our condolences to the Hargitay family for their loss. The season premier was awesome...a vey good way to make the Olivia transition to Elliot's new partner. I look forward to an exciting season and the return of Olivia to the SVU squad room.

Posted by Bill September 19, 2006
 

I can't believe that Benson is going to be gone from the show...she is a great actress, and the biggest reason that I tune in everyweek....please bring her back SOON!

Posted by Ashley September 19, 2006
 

Benson is the greatest. PLEASE bring her back soon. I think her and Stabler make the best team out of all of the L&O's ever!!!!

Posted by Joy September 19, 2006
 

Is this "new partner" temporary or permanent?

If Olivia's getting written out, I don't think I could watch the show anymore. Why would you get rid of your award-winning actress and one of your most dynamic characters?

Posted by Joanna September 19, 2006
 

She can't leave...is this temporary? Love the show!!

Posted by Anonymous September 19, 2006
 

Is Olivia ever going to actually be back in the main cast? Hope so.

Posted by Joe September 19, 2006
 

I would love to see Elliot and Mariska get together will that ever happen?

Posted by Kym September 19, 2006
 

Is El going to get back with Kathy or are he and Liv going to get really close...oh and will he dump Dani eventually?? thanks awsum premiere!! Luved it can't wait for next week!!

Posted by Chelle September 19, 2006
 

I hope you know we cried when you took Olivia away from Elliot. And you only showed Munch for about thirty seconds...why did you do this to us???

Posted by Meg, Nina, Michelle September 19, 2006
 

How can I be an extra on Law and Order?

Posted by C.Diddy September 19, 2006
 

why is she leaving

Posted by Tam September 19, 2006
 

I couldn't believe you were splitting them up again until I realized it was for personal reasons. I guess she is allowed to have a life =) I love the show because of the chemistry *they* have. Get a new partner if you must, but ditch her as soon as possible! We want Benson back!!!

Posted by Summer September 19, 2006
 

I loved this episode -- The humor is snappier than last season, and the show is getting to be as cinematic as the letterbox format deserves :-D

Posted by Leatherargento September 19, 2006
 

I love the direction the show is going in. It is very interesting and different. The suspence is delightfully fulfilling.

Posted by sarah September 19, 2006
 

yeah... it seems like if the Benson / Stabler team gets torn apart I just won't be able to like SVU that much... the chemistry, the team, evertyhing about it is just perfect.

Posted by nick September 19, 2006
 

I was wondering if Benson was coming back?

Posted by Jamie September 19, 2006
 

Love The Show
So sorry to hear of Mariska's father passing away
She plays her character very well
Look forward to watching more

Posted by PJ September 19, 2006
 

Ok, well I don't subscribe to People mag so I didn't know of her pregnancy! Extended absences are understandable. But please bring her back as much as possible.

Posted by Anne September 19, 2006
 

Great show!! i never miss an episode...and i love christopher meloni he is the best actor..please dont ever get rid of his character.. looking forward to mariska returning...also tonights episode with star and olivia was awesome great screen chemistry..thanks for the best show..

Posted by clem September 19, 2006
 

This is crap if Benson and Stabler aren't working together. This is why we watch the show

Posted by Amy September 19, 2006
 

I really hope you aren't getting rid of Mariska... she is definitely my favorite character on any of the Law & Orders. Her chemistry with the others is real, and she's an amazing actress. I think I'd stop watching if she was gone.

Posted by david September 19, 2006
 

I really like Benson and Stabler working together. You guys spent so much of last season with them working apart. I hope that won't be the case this year. And who is Stabler's temporary partner? Someone old? Or someone new?

Posted by Brian B. September 19, 2006
 

Since Benson has been "reassigned" will she and Stabler still appear in the episodes or will her part be minimal?

Posted by Amanda September 19, 2006
 

it looked like emotions were pretty high when they couldn't reach Liv. Were emotions running high on the set when taping this?

Posted by Chelle September 19, 2006
 

SO she's not leaving the show??? Ok good, I was really worried!!!!

It was great!! I hope she's back soon

Posted by Jillian September 19, 2006
 

How is Mariska doing with the death of her father?

Posted by Kym September 19, 2006
 

Will we be seeing more of Marcia Gay HArden? Why was Conviction cancelled? I loved it and there was good character development in progress!

Posted by Sherrie Henne September 19, 2006
 

Excellent show, although as an animal advocate I was disappointed to see you portray those that advocate for eco causes as terrorists.

Posted by MidiVeg September 19, 2006
 

PLEASE TELL ME THAT MARISKA IS NOT LEAVING THE SHOW AND THAT SHE IS JUST ON MATERNITY LEAVE BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY HATE TO STOP WATCHING SVU.

Posted by JANICE BRINKLEY September 19, 2006
 

Love the premiere. Can't wait for Mariska to be back, she is wonderful. Who's the new partner?

Posted by Iriegyrl September 19, 2006
 

I am very unhappy about this. Mariska is about the only reason I bother to watch the show....that and the great relationship with she and Elliott. Please bring her back

Posted by EK September 19, 2006
 

Please bring Benson and Stabler back together as partners! They care about each other so much, and I don't think the show is the same with them doing different assignments.

Posted by Jazz September 19, 2006
 

You guys are outdoing yourselves..just watched CI was please..then SVU..and it was hot. Can't wait to see what L&O does to top tonight's shows in their premieres. Keep up the good work but please make sure you bring back Mariska sooner than later.

Posted by toy September 19, 2006
 

So Mariska definitely WILL be back? Or will she be gradually written out..?

Posted by brittany kay September 19, 2006
 

I dont want to see Stabler get a new partner beson and him are great parners.

Posted by Anonymous September 19, 2006
 

how long do we have to wait until Olivia is back?

Posted by TK September 19, 2006
 

New partner...This is gonna be Elliot's second partner.

Question: Will Elliot get back with his wife or find someone new?

Posted by Joel September 19, 2006
 

Hi, Great episode. But whats up with Olivia? She will return right? I love her on the show!

Posted by Nikky September 19, 2006
 

yeah i sure hope she comes back sooner.

i dont know if ill like him having this new partner.

Posted by Sarah September 19, 2006
 

*sigh* oh Olivia...

Great show though!

Posted by Tara September 19, 2006
 

Ok, if you get rid of Benson that's it! She and Elliot are perfect! Don't ruin the chemistry. Why does her character seem to come and go, wasn't she away for an extended period last year?

Posted by Anne September 19, 2006
 

Great show!
Is Benson ever gonna be Stabler's partner again??

Posted by Cara September 19, 2006
 

Benson better not goooooo. i love her. she's half the reason i love svu more than the other onessss. Stabler would be the other half.

Posted by nick September 19, 2006
 

who is the new partner going to be??

Posted by Michelle September 19, 2006
 

Please don't keep her away forever!!! We need her back!! I'm missing her already!

Posted by Eclipses September 19, 2006
 

I hope that Mariska and her new baby are doing great. I heard about the loss of her father today - please let her know that she is in my thoughts.

Posted by Micah September 19, 2006
 

no im am not excited about this new partner thing. my friends and i are extremely upset over this!

Posted by Anonymous September 19, 2006
 

Great episode!

Posted by Chris September 19, 2006
 

I know some are rooting for Benson and Stabler to get together, but please don't do it! Can you say if there is romance in the future for them?

Posted by Melissa September 19, 2006
 

Who's the new partner?

Posted by Anonymous September 19, 2006
 

Very cool. I'm excited to see how this new partner works out.

In case my question got lost in the piles of craziness: Will we get to see more of the Belz?

Posted by Jude September 19, 2006
 

Well, I hope sooner than we think is right. I love her!!
