Law & Order SVU Kelli Giddish Mariska Hargitay
The Big Picture As Law and Order: Special Victims Unit heads towards the end of their landmark, 25th season, one character that's been a staple for years following the departure of Christopher Meloni's Detective Elliott Stabler is Kelli Giddish's Detective Amanda Rollins. When Giddish left, she'd been with the show for half its run. The controversial exit was met with vocal disapproval from fans and Captain Olivia Benson herself, Mariska Harigaty.
Thankfully, Giddish has returned in guest appearance spots during the show's 24th and 25th seasons. In her final season, we saw Rollins marry her longtime partner, district attorney Dominic Carisi and Season 25 opened with the christening of her and Carisi's daughter. Rollins would leave NYPD and take a teaching job, with her expertise still being sought out by Benson in trying times, opening the window for these guest spots.
Rollins and Benson would form bonds over lost familial relationships, motherhood, and more during Giddish's 12-season stint. That strong relationship is what made Hargitay so vocal about the move to write Rollins out of the show. “I don’t like not being listened to, especially when I’m right." Hargitay has worked with creator Dick Wolf since the series inception in the late 1990s. She's since taken on an executive producer role and has even directed.
