Law & Order SVU: Mariska Hargitay reveals an open secret
Mariska Hargitey is the main plot draw of the long-running Law & Order: SVU series. Recently, he has left juicy material for his fans in an interview that confirmed what many assumed.
The 58-year-old actress who plays the wonderful Lieutenant Olivia Benson highlighted a key fact for the character's future. An important touch that will surely please the fans in general.
A new love opportunity for Olivia Benson
Hargitay is the attraction of the series because she plays one of the characters who have traveled the most within it. The star belongs to the show since its premiere in 1999 and, from then on, its evolution was closely witnessed.
Benson endeared himself to the public for his lived experiences and for his peculiar sense of justice, morality and social responsibility. Skills that led her to become a Lieutenant and Captain of the New York Special Victims Unit (SVU).
Throughout her career she was supported by great colleagues such as "Fin" Tutuola, John Munch, Amanda Rollins, Nick Amaro, Rafael Barba, among others. And, of course, you can't forget Elliot Stabler, played by actor Christopher Meloni.
Meloni and Hargitey shared great on-screen chemistry as their characters were unitmates. But, in season 12, the plot took an unexpected turn with the departure of the 60-year-old actor.
Both in their roles as Benson and Stabler respectively left hints of more than a friendship. Following the return of Meloni's character to the Law & Order universe, Mariska confirmed a new love opportunity for Olivia and Elliot.
Mariska Hargitay Gives Details on Drew Barrymore's Morning Show
Drew Barrymore is in charge of directing her own television show, The Drew Barrymore Show. Within it, the entertaining and eloquent vision of the actress is expressed, as well as symbolizing a space for meeting great celebrities.
Both Mariska Hargitay and Barrymore explored the character's past, present and future, with one thing in common: Stabler. Christopher Meloni's character returned recently, causing a stir among fans and raising thousands of speculations.
As previously announced, Meloni will once again play Stabler, but not in the same familiar unit. On the contrary, he will star in a new spin-off baptized as Law and Order: Organized Crime.
Without a doubt, it was the perfect opportunity for Hargitay to unleash an open secret. Indeed, Olivia Benson always had a love interest for Elliot Stabler, but unfortunately it was not an idea deepened by the script.
"The energy is there, Olivia was always in love with Stabler. But it's not easy, she is hurt by the way it all ended. 10 years of absence is not easy to digest" — Hargitay commented.
Hargitay still calls for calm
Benson and Stabler formed one of the most iconic and powerful couples in the police genre. At a time when this kind of programs or series abounded, they knew how to manage to get ahead.
Highlighting again, the chemistry between both characters plus the acting ability of those involved, facilitated the process. In a short time, they constituted a good revenue for the NBC television network, calling millions of fans.
Spectators who, with each passing chapter, fuel the fire of theories about the romance between Benson and Stabler. Unfortunately, with Meloni's departure in 2011, everything seemed to fall apart, or so it seemed.
Meloni was called back to star opposite Hargitey in a new seasonal special. In it, details of the past are briefly explored and the death of Kathy Stabler, wife of the famous detective, takes place.
An event that Mariska considers key and as a turning point in the plot, calling for calm. That is to say, the probable or already confirmed romance will have to continue waiting a little longer.
"He is free, and I think he has eyes for me. But we are just finding our way back, little by little. We must give time for the grieving process with his wife, Kathy Stabler" — Hargitay sentenced for Drew Barrymore.
