‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 16 spoilers: When did the writers start work?
We’re continuing to present our series of articles all about the writers for some of your favorite shows returning to work, but when it comes to “Law & Order: SVU,” it’s a little bit of a different story. After all, the writers for this show have actually been at work for a little while now.
According to the writers room’s official Twitter account, May 22 was the first day of the writers working on the show again. Per the information that was posted there, the title for this episode is tentatively “Girls Disappeared,” and the director that is listed is Alex Chapple. He has directed multiple episodes of the show already, including “Comic Perversion,” “Reasonable Doubt,” and “Dissonant Voices” over the past season. Also, he has also done episodes of “Blue Bloods,” “Bones,” the original “Law & Order,” and also the “Criminal Intent” and “LA” spin-offs. Basically, he has done the entire cycle of shows and is loyal to the franchise. It’s always good to start off the season with someone who is fairly established with the show already.
Obviously, there are some important stories that need to be addressed almost immediately this coming season, including whether or not Benson can solve all of the trauma surrounding her adopted child’s life. There are also likely going to be other loose ends as Amaro tries to adjust to a somewhat-normal life again after what he went through in the finale, and we could have some other familiar faces from the past turn up.

It will be interesting to see where the Amaro/Rollins storyline goes. Can he keep her from gambling and drinking herself into a mess again? Can she keep him from completely losing it when he and his ex are in a custody dispute? Do we(the viewers) really want a happily ever after story for these two? It will also be interesting to see how the contract negotiations are progressing so that there is a possibility for a season 17 and beyond. All the actors/actresses contracts are up after season 16. While Mariska probably wouldn’t get a raise(even if She stays) everyone else is probably looking for one. Compared to a lot of other dramas, the salaries on SVU aren’t that high. I think it just comes down to NBC(the Nothing But Cash matters) network being cheap. CBS has 4-6 dramas that pays their cast a lot more than what the SVU actors/actresses are paid. Let’s hope for the best.

I don’t see anyone complaining about Stabler coming back. The article asked a simple question about what we wanted to see and these people said “Stabler Appearance” in very civilized ways. Take it down a notch because these two commenters and about a half a dozen million other fans want it too. No hurt in wishing. Add me to that list.
P.S. Oh and one thing I definitely want to see next season! NO Cassidy. At least not as a love interest. Goodby!
