What is it? Maybe the untold story between Olivia Benson and Eliot Stabler!
Heartfelt Talk
“Probably in the last episode, I think that’s when they should be together,” Mariska Hargitay said.
She also admitted that they are “soulmates in a way.” Do you think so too?
27 Years Together
“We’re very close,” Mariska said of Chris Meloni. “We’ve seen the struggles together.
We know each other so well. Love. Respect.” Wow, 27 years of relationship – that’s no small feat!
When the Parting of the Ways
When Chris left the show in 2011, Mariska was “devastated.” “It happened so quickly, and it was shocking,” she said.
A contract dispute – and then 10 years apart!
The magic of a comeback
Then Chris returned with his spinoff ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’.
Stabler and Benson met again – this time to solve his wife’s murder case. Was it fate or something else?

The kiss that never happened
Did you know? Benson and Stabler were supposed to kiss in Season 24! But it was scrapped at the last minute.
“Chris and I wanted it to happen one way, but the Powers That Be didn’t want it to happen,” Mariska revealed.
Fan expectations
Even Ice-T is surprised! “You two haven’t done anything yet?” he asked Mariska. “No,” she replied.
“Kiss? Almost, right? Almost?” Ice-T asked further. “Yeah, almost,” he confirmed.
What happens next?
“We want to keep the tension up,” Mariska said. “And wanting to do what’s right and true for both characters.”
So, do you think Benson and Stabler should be together? Or is this storyline good as it is? One thing is for sure – this couple has some great chemistry!
