Law and Order : SVU - Latest from TV Line - 19th May 2011

Thanks to starbuck1982 for the heads up.

TVLINE | With the news that you’re considering bringing in an actress — perhaps Jennifer Love Hewitt — to replace Mariska Hargitay halfway through Law & Order: SVU next season, is this confirmation that you believe there’s life in this show beyond Mariska and Chris Meloni?
I do believe that. Although, to clarify, this isn’t to replace Mariska. The idea is that we want to bring in somebody midway through the season alongside Mariska and Chris. Mariska’s deal is closed for [a 13th] season, so she’s not disappearing. Creatively, I think it will give [Benson] some competition, which I think will be interesting. And then we have to look at what a 14th season might require. Mariska just adopted a child. We don’t know yet if she wants to do the show for a Season 14, and we’re looking at options. Jennifer Love is somebody who we’ve been circling, but I don’t know that that is going to happen at all.

TVLINE | The word “replacement” was used because the new character would be introduced as Meloni’s new partner as Hargitay’s character moved into more of a supervisory role.
That creatively is the thinking. New showrunner Warren Leight is in the process of figuring all of that out. We’re trying to change it up and see if some new configurations could keet the show going for several more years.

TVLINE | Meloni’s deal for Season 13 isn’t done yet. Are you concerned?
I think we’re gonna be in pretty great shape with Chris.

    may be they should stopped  it, it's not really good when they're remplacing characters. 13 years of a beautiful TV show, i think it's good and i wont be shocked if the 13th is the last...

     I wouldn't mind if they brought in another character, but I think we all know that if she will be Elliot's new partner and Benson goes to a supervisory position, a lot will change. I like Mariska in action so I'm hoping that get's to stay so. Said that, I'm not very picky but really, Jennifer Love? Don't think that'll work for me. 

    Maybe they should indeed stop at a 13th season.. I mean, the actors are well in their forties now. And if there will be a 14th season without Mariska, I don't think I'll watch anymore. I hardly watch the episodes she isn't in, let alone a whole season. But hey, we'll see!

     There's a reason this is the only Law & Order still running on television (LOLA is dead), and this is because of the dynamics between the characters. I'm not a fan of giving Stabler a different partner. I didn't like it when Dani was his partner a few seasons ago.. Well, we'll have to wait and see.
