The Truth About Christopher Meloni And Mariska Hargitay

While "Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit" has been going strong since Christopher Meloni left almost a decade ago, many fans believe the show just isn't the same without the Elliott Stabler and Olivia Benson pairing. Meloni’s Stabler and Mariska Hargitay’s Benson had incredible on-screen chemistry, which made the cases they were solving all the more interesting -- and led many viewers to hope the two would fall in love. The bad news is that Meloni exited the show in 2011, but the good news is that Meloni and Hargitay remain close friends in real life. Let’s take a look at the truth about Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay’s relationship.

Who are your favorite Law & Order characters?

[msgriffin]

Whenever they tried to match Elliot or Olivia with a partner, it just couldn't compete with the original.

Stabler was the main reason I ever tried watching SVU he was and still is my favorite character on these shows.

Ice T may not have started until the second season but he has earned ‘original cast’ cast credit. And he isn’t gone. We don’t know what’s going to happen story wise.

[cathydecarles]

I hope that they let us see the Stabber and Benson together for a show

[eostudios]

I was totally with this video until the “never saw a chemistry in that vein” quote — which was used out of context in this video since they were joking around when he said it. They’ve both actually been Very supportive of the idea but they always assumed the show would never go there.

Christopher meloni and Mariska Magdolna hargitay are perfect for one another

[brendakazee]

They are making a big mistake if there not together some. These two made the show. Hasn't been the same since

[irshgrl]

Actually, I thought Ice T was an original cast member, too.

[emmanuelperez]

But Stabler is coming back to svu in January for a intro episode for his show

[judimozisek]

[beachlovernewjersey]

Miss Stabler, show not the same without him.

[mmort]

My favorite SVUs are with Benson and Stabler and I stopped watching it after Chris Meloni left.

[slc]

I SO MISS...MISSED HIM! ....AND THEM TOGETHER!!! He is SO AWESOME! THANKS FOR BRINGING HIM BACK....THANKS FOR COMING BACK!! The show is SO MUCH BETTER WITH STABLER ....AND THE STABLER BENSON TEAM AND CHEMISTRY!! This will now be my #1 show that I will be so OCD about!

[billiesimmons]

I think stabler and Hargitay should do a reunion of Law and order show

[wordswordswords]

They need to be on the same show or it doesn't work? Why can't Stabler come back to SVU? Why does he need his own show. HMMM? doesn't make sense. the power was them together, not separate. WTF?

[brigittecavanagh]

I was waiting and happy to read that Chriss Meloni was back on happen :(

[reginabeasley]

Stopped watching when Chris left and the other characters as the show list it’s spark

[chitsb]

Anyone else thinks he resembles Robert DeNiro?
