Was anyone else mad that Christopher Meloni is not returning ?

Oh yeah but not really surprised. I bet he and Mariska are both getting burned out and want to do other things. Twelve seasons is a lifetime in tv time so while I'm upset I do understand his decision.

Yes.

I will say nothing else, for fear that I may start ranting.

I'm really mad!! I'm hoping they won't put Olivia with some brand new partner she sould be paired up with Fin o Munch not some newbie...I think they should either kill him off o through him a retirement party cause he's been there since the beginning so the fans deserve some kind of closure for Elliott

i´m not mad. i understand his descion. after 12 good years as leading actor he has all the right to go. everyone knows him as elliot stabler from SVU, so it´s understandable that he look for other projects ore need a break. same for mariska.
i don´t know if they come back....
without the two it´s not the same anymore, perhaps SVU end with season 13.
after all it´s a great mostrar and i will miss elliot but wish him all the best.
good luck chris

yes i was shocked to read that i think then him and oliva should hit the sheets

Yes, I'm furious!

I am not persay mad but very dissapointed..... reruns are always good I guess:/

It's not really going to be the same without Christopher Meloni playing Det. Elliot Stabler. It's going to be weird without seeing Stabler.

heck yes

YES

I am a little bit, but I guess I understand though, I am a little sad and mad at the same time. I just can't believe after a season finale like that, we are left hanging.
