When will the producers learn their lesson? When they messed around with the cast of L&O CI and got rid of D'Onofrio and Erbe, they pretty much damaged the series beyond salvation. I don't think bringing them back for the short swan song season is working...especially since they brought them back with no explanation in the series.
Now, cutting Benson's character loose in mid season? Can you say..."SVU is canceled at the end of next season?"?

When Mariska Hargitay leaves the show, I'll stop watching. She and Christopher Meloni have phenomenal chemistry and no other actress/new character can fill that vacancy. Stabler and Benson are a TEAM!

Noooooo! That girl is not a good actress. I will stop watching this show if they make her the detective
I will quit watching the show. I do not think JLH is a good actress at all. When I see her on talk shows or any type of interview, she comes across as extremely self absorbed and conceited. She appears sweet, but I feel like she is only worried about how cute or sexy she might be so therefore, I do not think she is a credible actress. Especially not to replace Mariska. Finding a new partner for Elliot will be extremely difficult as Olivia will be leaving some fantastic shoes to fill. I wonder why Mariska is leaving?

If Mariska is not the star - much as I love Chris Meloni - I am through watching L&O SVU. Mariska is not only (for my money) the most beautiful woman on TV - she is a fine and sophisticated actress. I am not a JLH fan and consider her a light-weight replacement, unlikely to match Meloni's intensity. But then, no one could live up to Olivia a la Mariska! Why can't they just leave well enough alone?!?

OMG I love J-Love she is amazing. Its pretty awesome that Law & Order is trying to update the cast with a newer younger actors/characters. I'm pretty sure J-Love will do awesome, she is beautiful and a great actress. Her and Mariska are very similar in many ways; both naturally beautiful, down to earth, and both have amazing generous hearts. She deserves to be on TV and on an amazing TV show like Law & Order I will definitely be watching bc she is my most fav actress ever :)))))

f this actually goes ahead we must give credit to JLH. It can not however act like Mariska. Olivia Benson is an irreplaceable and beloved character, adored by millions of fans worldwide. I am Brazilian and here in my country this news has left fans aghast. Mariska is a beautiful woman, an actress of great talent and a human figure, odd, singular. I know she will leave, and leave many missing. But life goes on.

I have nothing against JLH but Mariska Hargitay is fantastic and irreplaceable. Mariska is not only a beautiful woman. It's a great actress, which makes their work a real job.

I do not know Mariska Hargitay personal so I do not hate her but her character was really becoming a porblem for me to watch the show.
These is pefect because I always thought that Mariska Hargitay should appear on NCIS and criminal mind and now she can
I would definitely start watching SVU if they cast JLH

So is Mariska officially out after 13 episodes or is she just passing on the role for the next amount of episodes of the season until she returns?
I must admit that I love JLH, always have as an actress. But I'd find it odd if a victim became a detective. I'd still be willing to watch. I can see that the writers will say how Vicki wanted a change in life and because Olivia helped her with that, she became a detective to help other people.
Wouldn't it be better to actually just either bring in a completely new character or a character we've known in the past who worked in the SVU squad before? Like Connie? The one who was in season 8 and worked with Elliot whilst Mariska was on maternity leave.
As for Chris, he'll definitely be back. He said he's happy with the show and he'd be happy to stay if he was offered renewal of his contract. He's probably just working out the details of his contract.
Aside from this news, it's obvious that Elliot or Olivia won't be killed in the final

It can not be, really? .... Mariska can not be replaced by anyone, much less by a guest star who was the victim on SVU ... and Chris does not sign the contract yet? ... I can not believe, they want to kill us?

Mariska also does a lot of work for abused women. She is the best. Nothing against Jennifer but she is too young and to skinny
