The announcement of her departure came the same day as the Law & Order franchise announced a historic crossover between all three of its hit shows: Law & Order, SVU and Organized Crime.

The crossover event will bring characters from all three shows "into a singular and all-encompassing" plot.

NBC announced that Hargitay (Capt. Olivia Benson), Sam Waterston (Jack McCoy), Hugh Dancy (Nolan Price), Christopher Meloni (Det. Elliopt Stabler) and more will team up in the historic crossover event.

They were going to try with a plotline about terrorists bombing the WTC. Then 9/11 happened.

I don't understand what's historic about it. The Chicago shows have done three-part crossovers for years (and sometimes even involving SVU!).

Not three shows in one single plot line. Vanilla had several crossovers with SVU and one with Trial By Jury, but I can’t recall one with Criminal Intent. SVU had one with Trial By Jury too, and also had Alexandra Eames show up at least once or twice, but I don’t think it was crossovers with Criminal Intent and just Eames being there.

The Trial By Jury crossovers are annoying since it’s not in syndication, so you don’t see the conclusion to the L&O episode where Ed Green gets shot or the SVU one where Casey Novak got beaten up in her office.

Van Buren also had a quick appearance. But I don't think a real crossover ever happened with CI

I figured this thread may be interested to know that Peacock is running a special next month for a $20 yearlong subscription. That will be the place to stream the new seasons as Hulu is losing the rights to run NBC shows the day after they air.

The one that still confounds is when she's dating the internal affairs dude. He was a good antagonist in the early seasons, but then he gets portrayed as a sympathetic love interest, and it's Olivia that torpedoes the relationship? I mean sure it's SVU so it's always weird and stupid, but come on.

Seriously though, the fact that they only injured Kat was weird. Did they want her to be able to come back? That would be interesting.

Right. Benson breaks up with him in season 18. The next time he appears is in season 21, when he's re-married and reveals to Benson that he's dying of cancer. He then shoots himself before he goes on trial for official misconduct.

He shoots himself because he has terminal brain cancer, iirc he was vindicated in that subplot about the lady cop who got raped (he was innocent but kept forgetting things and "looking suspicious" because he had a secret brain tumor !!). Also Benson dumped him at the time because he wanted to retire and Benson couldn't see herself doing literally anything with her life besides be a cop, lol.

Organized Crime has yet another showrunner.

quote:

Another behind-the-scenes change at Law & Order: Organized Crime: Sean Jablonski is taking over for Bryan Goluboff as showrunner.

Just three months ago, Goluboff replaced Barry O’Brien, who was named interim showrunner in late February. Having joined the series as co-executive producer in November, O’Brien was asked to step into the leadership role and finish the season after the exit of previous showrunner Ilene Chaiken. O’Brien will continue on Organized Crime as writer/executive producer for Season 3.

Now it’s Jablonski’s job to steer the Law & Order spinoff that stars Christopher Meloni, Danielle Moné Truitt, Ainsley Seiger, Brent Antonello and Rick Gonzalez. Earlier in his writing career, Jablonski wrote for Law & Order before moving onto shows like Nip/Tuck, Suits and Project Blue Book. He’s repped by CAA, Underground Management and Gregg Gellman.

So that's OC's fourth showrunner before its third season even starts airing.
