![]() ![]() If nothing else, “And A Trauma In A Pear Tree” left a lot of reasons to be hopeful! SVU didn’t waste any time in bringing Demore Barnes later in the same season that he was cut as a series regular, so maybe the show will have Rollins back before the end of Season 24. Now, that’s definitely not a promise that we’ll get any more of Rollins than updates from Carisi about what she’s doing off screen, but it definitely didn’t close the door on seeing her again if Kelli Giddish is available. ![]() ![]() We’re friends, right? That’s not gonna change, and I’m not gonna disappear. Peter Scanavino wasn’t leaving the show as the ADA, so were we supposed to just assume that Rollins is around and visiting with her SVU friends all the time, and we just never see it?Īs it turns out? Yes, we sure are, and that certainly beats a tragedy or a Rollisi split! In fact, the final conversation between Rollins and Benson seemed directed at fans more than anything else. Well, my biggest question since August about Rollins leaving that made me nervous about a tragedy was how exactly SVU could say goodbye to her without cutting all ties and breaking her up with Carisi. But could she come back? How Law & Order: SVU Could Bring Rollins Back If fans had to lose Rollins, I would say that this was just about the best way that it could have happened. Who better for the audience surrogate than Olivia Benson?Īmanda exited to a round of applause from the squad room, moving forward to a new job with no daily danger, a new life with Carisi as her husband, and no last-minute tragedy to ruin the mood. After all, even though Rollins just married Carisi, she’s still going to see him every day. Kelli Giddish and Mariska Hargitay crushed it, and the big emotional scene really needed to happen with Benson rather than anybody else. For her part, Benson clearly regretted her reaction, and had a sweet message for her friend:īoth women were hugging and crying and laughing by the end of the scene, and it was about as good of a way to say farewell to their on-screen friendship as I think any fan could hope for. Rollins started by saying that she was sorry for leaving the hotel right the way she did and that Benson had a right to be upset. Carisi had a trial, and Rollins had to find a way to break the news that she’s taking the teaching job at Fordham to Benson. The wedding was actually early in the episode, and they didn’t exactly get to ride right off into the sunset for a honeymoon. Like the previews for the fall finale indicated, Rollins and Carisi tied the knot in a courtroom ceremony with their friends as witnesses. ![]() How Law & Order: SVU Said Goodbye To Rollinsįortunately for fans, SVU didn’t pull a bait-and-switch on fans and turn what was looking like a bright future with a new (and much safer) job into a tragedy. Now, after she had some time to recover and move forward, the Christmas episode served as the farewell to the actress and revealed why Rollins is leaving… and set up whether or not she could come back. The odds of the character getting a happy ending initially didn’t seem great when she was shot in the three-part premiere crossover, and was then dealing badly with her trauma. News broke all the way back in August that longtime series regular Kelli Giddish would be leaving the show in Season 24. The inevitable has finally happened on Law & Order: SVU with the departure of Amanda Rollins as a Special Victims detective. ![]()
