Remember season 24 of Law & Order: SVU, when Benson and Stabler came close to giving the fans what they wanted and almost kissed? Well, it turns out, they did!
What??? Mariska Hargitay told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think we [she and Chris Meloni] felt that this moment was earned, that this thing could happen for a second — and so that’s how we shot it. [audience goes crazy] Don’t you wish you were there for that?! Yeah. We shot it a couple different ways. And then they [Wolf and others] had the choice in editing, and they [opted to use the near-kiss version rather than the kiss] … We [she and Meloni] disagreed. We disagreed because we thought that it was earned and the way it was dealt with was really complex and very beautiful and very human and showed the complexity of their relationship and all the different ways that they’re connected … [But] no matter what I want, Dick Wolf can totally just say, ‘Uh, no.’”
However, the Executive Producer said yes to her directing the 600th episode (Can you believe they have done that many episodes?), which will be the sixth episode next season. Maybe Wolf will also say yes to the former partners finally kissing?!?
