Two of Law & Order: SVU‘s most popular ADAs — Stephanie March and Diane Neal — are headed back to the show this fall.
An SVU spokesperson confirms that the pair will return for “an undetermined number of episodes” during SVU‘s upcoming 13th season.
The news comes a week after the show tapped Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish to help fill the detective void left by Chris Meloni. Leading lady Mariska Hargitay, meanwhile, will appear in all 22 episodes, although her Benson character is expected to segue into more of a supervisory role.
Thoughts? Are you less inclined to cancel your SVU season pass now that March and Neal are returning?
I think it's strange how they were never able to find a stable replacement once Diane Neal left. They always had temporary replacements. I haven't liked the show since she left, but I don't know if her departure is the reason for that. I think the writing just got really bad & predictable so I stopped watching.
