‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 16 spoilers: First details on Patti LuPone appearance
Anytime you can get Patti LuPone to appear on your show, you are in a pretty good spot; after appearing on “American Horror Story: Coven” and season 3 of “Girls,” NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU” is one of the series lucky enough to have her now.
LuPone is going to be appearing in the January 14 episode entitled “Agent Provocateur,” and via the synopsis below, she is going to be playing a women who may be up to no good in order to keep a movie star protected after being suspected of rape:
“Fifteen year-old Madison Baker (guest star Madison Grace) sneaks out of her uncle’s home to meet breakout movie star Scott Russo (guest star Shiloh Fernandez), who invited her to a party via social media. Later that night, a patrolman finds her in an alley, sexually assaulted and barely alive. Sgt. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) suspects Russo and his manager, Lydia Lebasi (guest star LuPone), are covering up the crime when security footage from the party goes missing. When gossip site mogul Lenny Simmons (guest star John Pankow) airs the stolen footage, he refuses to give up the source material and ADA Barba (Raúl Esparza) takes him to court to find the truth.”
Clearly, there is going to be quite a bit going on is this episode, but it appears that the story regarding Rollins and her past in Atlanta may be over … at least for the time being. It has already been confirmed that Harry Hamlin will be returning in the winter premiere January 7, and she will have to face more of her history there head-on.

I am hoping that “Forgiving Rollins” will be the last we see of Harry Hamlin(although I’m sure he’d love for this role to continue; money talks). I’m starting to get a lousy feeling that with no news of anybody re-signing so far for another season, that We might see Harry’s Chief Patton again, which could lead to the demise of Amanda(which better not happen Warren Leight). Although I’m not surprised that Kelli Giddish isn’t in the episode following “Forgiving Rollins” because SVU has a real problem getting all 6 of their main actors in a show at one time, I am worried that Chief Patton will get away with what he’s done and Amanda will start to fall apart again.
