Have you heard (in my opinion) this HORRIBLE rumor?
Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have made it no secret that they're interested in cutting back on their hours manning the Special Victims Unit on 'Law & Order: SVU.' But news broke today that an unlikely actress is eying a role as Hargitay's replacement: Jennifer Love Hewitt.
The former 'Ghost Whisperer' star is reportedly in talks to take over as
the partner of Meloni's Elliot Stabler around mid-season when
Hargitay's Olivia Benson will be promoted to a supervisor position, TV Line reports.
Hargitay has signed a deal to return for 'SVU''s 13th season, but will
work fewer hours for the same salary. Meloni has not yet signed a deal,
but he is reportedly asking for a raise and will likely not come to an
official agreement until after NBC's Upfront presentation next week.
Hewitt has also not signed a deal yet, but will likely arrive as
Stabler's new female detective partner around mid-season when Benson
gets promoted.
The actress appeared on the series earlier this season
during an episode that brought attention to the problem of rape kit
backlogs in police precincts across the country. Hewitt played a woman
who was stalked and raped by a man for 15 years.
Hewitt was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in the Lifetime movie 'The Client List.'
Re: Law & Order SVU Fans
This! I would probably stop watching the show.
I figured she would quit or cut back since adopting that little boy recently. But JLH? Really? I'm not a huge fan of hers.
absolutely!
I agree.
