SVU Brings Back Stephanie March

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC,

SVU may be (temporarily) down a few cops, but the program is now up an ADA.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Alex Cabot’s substitution gig has just been given an extension. Actress Stephanie March - who was brought in during Michaela McManus’ absence this year - will appear in at last another 10 episodes next fall. Other ADAs will take over for those times she’s not around.

Although Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are still not guarantees for Season 11, it’s been reported that a deal is close.

SVU Loses Another ADA, Possibly Lead Stars

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, News,

Law & Order: SVU may be accustomed to changes, but departures don’t usually happen so quickly.

After less than one season on the long-running NBC series, actress Michaela McManus (Kim Greylek) is already out. The former One Tree Hill star joined the program when the show’s last ADA, Casey Novak (actress Diane Neal), left the prosecutor’s office due to controversy.

Greylek, who was sent away to Washington D.C. last month, saw her job temporarily filled by Alexandra Cabot (actress Stephanie March), the former assistant district attorney. Now it appears Kim will be gone for good. Michaela sent the following message to her Twitter followers on March 28: “Will no longer be on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but would like to thank my fans for supporting me.”

Although it’s unclear whether March will be taking back her role permanently, the vet is scheduled to appear in another four episodes this season.

Two months ago, we told you that Jesse L. Martin would be leaving his role on Law & Order after nine years on the show.  Now it looks like Dick Wolf will be busy with another exit from his L&O family.

TV Guide is reporting that Diane Neal, Law & Order: SVU‘s Casey Novak, will be departing as well.  Neal took over in 2003 when the drama’s last ADA was supposedly killed.  (It was later revealed that Alex Cabot was actually placed in the Witness Protection Program.)

Although it’s unclear if Neal, too, will go down in a blaze of glory, she is expected to be around for this season’s finale.  Casting for her replacement has already begun.
