Is Elliot Stable returning to Law & Order: SVU? TVLine reports Chris Meloni may return for the NBC TV show’s upcoming 21st season.
Meloni played Detective Elliot Stabler on the crime drama from seasons one through 12. The series currently stars Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Kelli Giddish, Peter Scanavino, and Philip Winchester.
Although Meloni hasn’t announced return to Law & Order: SVU, showrunner Warren Leight says he’s hopeful the former star will reprise his role in the future:
Look: I assume that if some year, some decade, couple decades from now, we get to the last SVU, [Meloni] would have to come back before we do the last episode or before the show signs off.
It would be tricky, because it’s now been eight years since the characters were seen together. So how’d they get in touch? We haven’t seen it. Where has he been? How do you explain that? There are storytelling challenges to it.”
Season 21 of Law & Order: SVU premieres on NBC on September 26th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. ‘
What do you think? Do you watch Law & Order: SVU? Do you want Elliot Stabler back?
Please do NOT bring back Meloni. So tired of his family drama & his hot head temper. Actually I don’t care. Haven’t watched that show in years. Is it really not time for it to bite the dust???
More Jack McCoy please!!
Show died when he left and other characters too .too much personal stuff with characters v
I would definitely start back watching it if he came back.
Yes. It would be fun finding out where he has been. Is he still married to Kathy. How are the kids.
I love Stabler and want him back
Would be nice to have him back
No, I don’t want him to come back. Was happy to see him go.
Agreed, S smith!
Watch it on both ION and NBC
Hell yeah! I have missed since he left i want his return very badly!
I would love to have Stabler back!! We’ve missed him. I love watching the old episodes with all the original crew. But I also think he would be great with the present cast as well. BRING HIM BACK!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I will only watch it if Chris Meloni is in it
Yes, I never missed an episode but over the past 5 years or so the show has become predictable. I think having Chis back and have see the chemistry between he and the other cast members would be beneficial. It seems like anytime I’ve put the show on there’s more personal drama then a plot regarding getting some perv off the streets and then I shut it off. I do however DVR Law and Order. Just my thoughts, thank you.
Yes i would love for elliot stabler AKA christopher meloni to return for a few episodes of SVU
I dunno. Nick Sax is not a character that will be easy to come back from. Once something like that inhabits you I suspect it’s only forward and not back you go.
No.
