But the people want to *believe*, and so they would not mind if Stabler and Benson holding hands in public was a manifestation of their private yearning. These two are, I think, quite close friends, but I also think they're smart enough to know that their platonic bonds also put butts on couch cushions. (They look great. I love that he's a loud shirt guy. That really tracks for me.) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001ax-1645057444.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001ax) Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 "America will be REALLY into me working on that knot in your back, so get low for a sec." ## Anthony Anderson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001bn-1645057465.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001bn) Anthony Anderson 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 Anthony was on seasons 18-20, and now he's back for 21 as the same character (Detective Bernard). Nice how *black-ish* slotted neatly in between. I think his contract is just for one season -- that may be the case for all of them, actually -- but it'll be nice continuity. ## Jeffrey Donovan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001bf-1645057455.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001bf) Jeffrey Donovan 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 Burn Notice up there is playing a detective too. That might work? He the weak link for me on that show, but his ... let's say stoic manner? ... may work better on a crime show, and he gets to play off of Anthony, which helps. ## Hugh Dancy, Sam Waterston ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001j-1645057503.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001j) Hugh Dancy and Sam Waterston 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 Sam's contract is DEFINITELY just for a year, although all these things are negotiable later. He is the ultimate continuity and I'm glad he's back -- and I say that as someone who (get ready) has never watched a single episode of this show. I just know he's a comforting face who has been on it for a damn long time. Hugh is playing an ADA. ## Odelya Halevi ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001c-1645057488.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001c) Odelya Halevi 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 She's on the new-old show as an ADA alongside Hugh, and this is SO lovely and good on her and then the beigeness of the shoes are such a sad ending. They're FINE, everything's FINE, we're all going to be FINE. But they could have been great. ## Camryn Manheim ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001bz-1645057480.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001bz) Camryn Manheim 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 I gather she's stepping into S. Epatha Merkerson's shoes, because she is off on Chicago Med. I like Camryn Manheim -- she was just in the criminally underrated Stumptown, and she imbued a lot of personality into a role that could have been pretty plain. ## Ainsley Seiger ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001ac-1645057419.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001ac) Ainsley Seiger 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 Ainsley plays a character on Organized Crime called Jet Slootmaekers. That is a NAME. It may not surprise you that Jet is a hacker who works with the police now. They are hip to the kids today. ## Danielle Mone Truitt ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001bp-1645057472.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001bp) Danielle Mone Truitt 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 Danielle plays Stabler's partner. She looks great in this. ## Kelli Giddish ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001i-1645057495.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001i) Kelli Giddish 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 I know she's been on SVU for years, but she will always be Fake Dixie on All My Children to me. ## Mariska and Chris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_editorial_12810001ao-1645057426.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (12810001ao) Mariska Hargitay 'Law & Order' press junket, New York, USA - 16 Feb 2022 "Isn't this a GAS?
