Characters


Law & Order: SVU characters, to viewers such as myself, are what really make the show. They have such an onscreen connection that they just make it fun to watch.


The main characters (the protagonists of the episodes), include: Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler (partners within the NY Special Victims Unit), Detectives John Munch and Odafin Tutuola (also partners), Captain Donald Cragen, A.D.A. Casey Novak (SVU's Defense Attourney), Dr. Melinda Warner (SVU's doctor that performs victim autopsies, and analyzes evidence), and Dr. George Huang (SVU's psychologist that has to study victims and suspects). All of these individuals are the particular people in the show that mean the most to me, as a viewer. I think that without all of these actor/actresses the show would not do as well as it is currently. I feel that there have indeed been roughspots among the many episodes.


Those episodes that were not up to par with the rest all had changes of characters for various reasons (for example Mariska Hartigay had a leave of absence for her pregnancy at one point, and other characters have had other personal reasons for leaving for a short period of time). During these absences, the producers brought in replacement actors/actresses, it was at this time that the show suffered. These examples prove why this amazing cast brings this show together.
