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?
Yes would love him back, didn’t like his bad guy persona in Handsmaid tale
Please bring Elliot back.
Yes i would love to see him back i miss him this time he and Olivia would get together. ..
Yes I would watch if he returned. The relationship between him and Oliva is the reason I started watching. It’s still my favorite show even though he’s been gone.
Yes bring stabler back
yes yes Ev1 loved Stabler..The show is still great but its just not right with out him.. he can leave the family behind and show up single and see what becomes of him and Liv Is that spark still there?
I stopped watching when he left and got rid of regular TV, but would pay for cable again to see him return to Olivia
Please bring Elliot back. Love that guy.
Yes would love to see that I have watched since season 1
Stabler coming back would be absolutely amazing.
Bring back STABLER!!!!
I think that bringing him back would love the awesome. Chris has a knack for acting. He’s that bad boy we came to love. He’s also shows that he does care and his victims as well.
God I would LOVE for Meloni to return!! I miss Elliot SO MUCH! When he shot that girl on HIS FINAL episode it was crazy…after that episode he was just gone. Poof, what happened? We never got closure. I hated Danny Pino replacing him (so glad he’s gone!) he just didn’t”feel” right for the part. He never seemed like he was a good fit amongst the others! I would love to see Munch make an appearance. A girl can dream. Cheers to Stabler and Benson together again! Now that she’s the boss. (Her hooking up with the internal affairs guy… Read more »
I just LOVE the show!!! I’m a faithful viewer & have been since the start!!! YES, BRING STABLER BACK!!!! He’s been GREATLY missed by many viewers!!! He & Olivia made the best partners & I sincerely believe bringing him back will up the number of fans/viewers!!
I love Stabler. Bring him back. Yeah. He was burnt out when he left. He could have gone to school studying behavior issues and is ready to come back
Yesssss!!!! Please come back Elliot Stabler. I only watch the old episodes with you and Benson.
