There has just been too much to absorb, girls!!!!! Yesterday, TV talk showdom said farewell to Oprah Winfrey, and after today, Elaine's Restaurant fades into the fabric of New York History. With my regrets, I was never there, though I did manage to get to
some other long gone spots--Lutece, Le Cirque and La Cote Basque. Thank Heaven La Greouille is still in business.
Now comes the news that Chris Meloni, aka Elliot Stabler, will not be returning for the 13th season of 'SVU'. Talk about 13 being an unlucky number!!!!!!!!!!
With Elliot gone, we also lose Isabel Gillies as Kathy, his wife, and the actresses who have played his daughters, Maureen and Kathleen. For the past twelve years, almost an entire generation, girls of all ages, genders and orientations, have drooled over Chris as Elliot. In addition to being a fine actor, he was one of the best looking things on TV. Not that Mariska was bad, either; hell, this show offered something for everyone. But with Elliot gone, and Mariska cutting down on screen time, the dynamics will sure be different. How can this be replaced??? It can't. Short of Meryl coming on as a regular--which I doubt--I can't think of anyone big enough that could usurp Chris or Mariska. The show has been renewed for a 13th season, but this may very well be its last. Only time will tell.
As for Chris, we wish him all the best, know he will continue to be seen. But when an actor has done a character that long, it follows in your wake, so that no matter what Chris may do in the future, to so many of us he will ALWAYS be Elliot Stabler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What will my girls do?????????????????????????
