As Law And Order: SVU Fans Continue Hoping Benson And Stabler Will Hook Up, I Love Another Dick Wolf Heroine’s Take On Procedural Romance

The enduring popularity of a potential romance between Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler on SVU is remarkable. Even after Christopher Meloni (Stabler) left the show for over ten years, fans still hoped they’d get back together. Ice-T, who has co-starred with Mariska Hargitay (Benson) for 26 seasons, has commented on the possibility of a romantic relationship, and Meloni’s spontaneous “Love you” during a recent SVU appearance prompted Hargitay to discuss it on TODAY. While I personally prefer Benson and Stabler as friends, I have to admit Meloni’s cameo made me want to see Stabler return to NBC as a regular cast member.
