Alex, come home, the kids miss you.Law & Order: Special Victims Unithas seen its fair share of Assistant District Attorneys. One of the show’s most memorable was Assistant District Attorney Alex Cabot, played byStephanie March.In a recent interview with People, the actress shared if she’d ever come back to the police procedural. First appearing in Season 2, March played ADA Cabot until she was “killed off” by being put in Witness Protection, then brought out of Witness Protection, then disappeared to work outside the law to remove women and children from abusive situations. She officially left the show as a series regular in Season 5, but appeared in 17 seasons total of the crime drama.
On if she’d ever come back, March says, “I guess if people still write,you could do a write-in campaign,” She explains, “That would be my only suggestion. The good news is, I get to seeChris [Meloni]andMariska [Hargitay]andBD [Wong]and all of those other wonderful people with regularity, so that’s good.”
“I think it would depend on the story, but they’ve got some good writers. Never ever say never, right?”
‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ Needs a Serious Dose of Nostalgia
A return by March or any character from the show’s earlier seasons is exactly what the show needs. As Season 26 comes to a close, there’s been no official news of a network renewal for Season 27, though it wasannounced thatMichele Fazekaswould be taking overfor a Season 27 as showrunner, replacingDavid Graziano. The series has officially wrapped filming for Season 26 so fans are inching closer and closer to a summer hiatus. Fazekas is not unfamiliar to SVU, serving as a writer and executive producer more than two dozen episodes from Season 3 to Season 7.Fazekas gave us the fan-favorite “Fault"and also executive produced on “911” which was recentlyrevisited as part of the crossover with the flagshipLaw & Order. While killing off the victim Olivia saved in “911” as the jumping off point for the crossover was met with mixed reactions, revisiting cases is definitely something that has been underused in a show that’s been on for this long. Many of the kids that were helped in the earlier seasons would be adults now, possibly similarly impacted as Maria, so profoundly, by the work done to help them that they’re employed in child services, or they’re lawyers, or other police officers.
