'''Law & Order: SVU' books 'Criminal Intent' star Kathryn Erbe''

ZAP 2 IT

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" may be no more, but its characters -- or one of them, at least -- are still kicking.

Kathryn Erbe, who starred on "Criminal Intent" for nine of its 10 seasons, will guest-star on an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" in the fall, TVLine reports. She'll reprise her role as Detective Alexandra Eames, who's now working with a joint NYPD/Homeland Security task force.

Erbe's episode will have the SVU team investigating a sex-trafficking case that may have ties to terrorists, hence the Homeland Security angle.

When we last saw Eames, she was picking up Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) from a final therapy session in the somewhat underwhelming "Criminal Intent" series finale. The character has apparently moved on to a new job within the NYPD, so a surprise cameo from Goren doesn't seem in the offing.

Erbe is set for just a single episode of "SVU" so far, TVLine says, but she could return later in the season as well.

Finally, I might be motivated to watch SVU again. I usually only watch it if there is nothing else on, and the new season won't start here in Australia until around February anyway. Thrilled that Eames will be in the episode, but really wish it could have been Goren as well.

Leigh said...

I've thought about it, and as much as I'd love to see Goren, maybe it will be good to see Eames shine by herself, not be in Goren's shadow.

I've always liked SVU but a bit harder to watch since Stabler is gone. I'm happy for Katie that she gets to come back and reprise her role. Supposedly she will be involved with the SVU gang because their cases cross jurisdictions.

I'm happy for Kate that she is getting to reprise her role again' but sad there will be no Bobby. Hope she at least gets to mention him and keep him alive in our hearts. I don't watch SVU anymore,but will watch for this episode. I'm truthfully surprised that SVU got renewed again.

Sandy said...

Sorry everybody, but this just makes me kind of sad. I was just getting used to saying goodbye to both of them in my mind and heart. Boo Hoo....

OMG that's soooo COOL!!! Great news!!! I am still gutted that Chris Meloni is gone and I haven't watched since he left.

Since Stabler left I really haven't watched any new episodes. I'll definately keep a look out so I will catch this episode. Hopefully they'll give some background as to how Eames got to her new position and a bit as to what Bobby's up too.

Nantz said...

Wouldn't it be something if Bobby showed up too?

Sandy said...

Nantz....That would be AWESOME!!!!!!

I haven't watched the show either since Meloni left the show, he was the show in a lot of ways, and enjoyed watching Mariska and him together. Just never knew if he would completely explode or what he would do, the character had a great edge to him.

Nantz said...

You never know, it doesn't film until next year. SVU is grittier than LOCI and the relationship between the leads is so different too. Liv and El are much more involved in each other's lives beyond work. Bobby and Alex are more reserved and separate their work lives from personal. I always thought it was strange that Liv and El got hurt a millions times and Bobby especially barely got a scratch, LOL.

Nantz, Sandy if that were to happen I thinK I would have to call 911 to restart my heart.

Nantz, eu adoro Eames, mas o que eu queria era mesmo Bobby...Snniiff...
SELL.

Goren without Eames is just too sad, Goren will never be promoted so he must be stuck in Major Case still without her as his partner and he is not happy without her there. I hope she does mention him or at least one of the cast mentions him, I hope that although we don't get to see him that Goren is doing well too-even if he is without Eames.

Nantz said...

You never know what could happen. Vincent always has something up his sleeve and it wouldn't surprise me if he came back.

Nantz, I love Eames, but what I wanted was even Snniiff ... Bobby ...
SELL.

We would all love to see Bobby again.
