Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni Leaving SVU?

If they leave then SVU is done.

SVU is past its prime on a tanking network. Next year it will be up against The Mentalist, and good luck there.

I'm so sick of actors who can't live off a paltry $350,000 per episode. They are like alien life forms.

Retool the show with Munch and Fin, or cancel the stupid thing.

This is to Enid; Law and Order SVU has not pasted its prime what so ever!! have u heard of the first Law and Order? and its 20 seasons? its still a hit, might not make it on any tv hot lists but it has millions of viewers.. now Law&Order SVU is no to be much more succesfull then the first or second of Law&Order's in the series. And I think if you were an actor you would want to get paid the highest you can be paid, it's called negotations, Mariska Hargitay is to this day in the record books as the highest paid actress. im happy for her! She deserves it along with christopher meloni, the show is based on them and there lives, munch and fin are great to but there "supporting actors". Mariska and Chris make svu, because mariska is a product of a rape, chris trys and makes the best decisions for his family, you barely see personal lives of munch and fin, cause its not interesting...
If munch and fin leave svu, it will be sad, i like them alot. but if elliot and olivia leave, SVU would be over!
Law and Order SVU might be stupid to you, but its not to deticated and addicted fans..

"Rachel says:

If they leave then SVU is done."

You are so right!

Jennifer, please go back to sixth grade English.

SVU is one of my favorite shows, but I doubt I'd watch if Meloni and Hargitay left. I agree. It would be over.

I am a HUGE fan of SVU and if Mariska and Christopher leave...I will no longer watch. They ARE SVU, if they leave then you don't have a show.

No Mariska, no Chris, no SVU

y'know what? I'll still watch even if they leave. Frankly, I'm sick of the "personal lives" stories. Munch and Fin are fantastic characters(hell, Det. Munch has made it for years AND jumped over from another murder series) and it would be awesome to see Agent Wong step in with more of the psychological side. a re-tooling might get svu to stick out from the pack of law and order's.

Keeping these two stars is the most important thing these executives could do. People are caught up in their personal struggles as well as the criminal stories. If the writers are getting stale... hire new writers. But don't change what works.

The main reason I watch SVU is Christopher Meloni so I doubt if Chris & Mariska left I would watch--Unless they got another actor on the show who was as hot as Chris!

If Mr. Meloni and Mrs. Hargitay ever left, I would have to resort to fanfiction.net for all things SVU. Don't get me wrong, I like Munch and Fin, but Olivia and Elliot MAKE the show. The characters are named after Dick Wolf's kids for goodness sake! I am not into the Mothership anymore and Criminal Intent is ok, but I much prefer the brutal honesty of especially heinous crimes that SVU dares to bring to the table.

law and order svu is one of my favorites series.. if they leave it i won't watch it never again, cuzz it won't be the same..im a huge fan of mariska and christopher together in the serie

They better keep the duo. We "grew up" with the two. If they change them, SVU will never have the same kind of compassion these two characters are able to portray.

I agree- No Maritska, no Chris NO SVU!! They ARE the show! I have been watching since the beginning and NEVER missed an episode I don't think I would continue watching NBC at all.

It's true. Chris and Mariska are SVU.

I am with most people who have commented. No Mariska, no Chris, no SVU. Mariska and Chris ARE SVU and I will not watch again if these wonderful actors contracts are not renewed.

if these two left the show it want be a show they make the show to me....

IF THERE IS NO CHRIS AND MARISKA ON SVU THEN WHY BOTHER WATCHING IT AT ALL?

I can NOT understand why NBC would even THINK about cutting Hargitay and Meloni out. Not only is that a horrible decision, personally...it's not going to help them in ANY way at all. The MILLIONS of comments all over the internet about this topic are written PROOF of what a mistake it would be to let them go. NBC should show what the viewers want to see and obviously, we want Benson & Stabler.

I will not watch, without a doubt, if Chris or Mariska leave. I refuse to. This series made them leads and as with what happened on X-Files in season 7, if EITHER of them left, I'd not watch. To me, the series is about the both of them, and yes, I am a die-hard, pray-to-God-they-hook-up shipper, (and btw, in my world, El is still single/divorced) and the series wouldn't be the same without them. X-Files tried it, and it failed without DD. If you look at the ratings for those years, the highest were for episodes DD was in. The same would apply to SVU. If even one of them left....ratings would go seriously down in my estimation. Give them their money, and us our leads back!
