Erin the College Girl

Erin Broderick played Maureen Stabler on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Elliot and Kathy's daughter). She quit acting to study to be a Doctor in Pennslyvania. She does still keep in touch with Christopher Meloni, her former TV dad. All the best to her!

SVU Deleted Scene: Shower

From season 2 Wrong is Right. A few years ago, on his no-more official site, Chris had an Ask Chris section. Someone asked if there were any memorable scenes that were cut out? He replied that he and his [TV] wife had a shower scene, however NBC told SVU to cut it out as it was too steamy...but it was fun to shoot. When the DVD came out, there ot was. And yes, I've watched it so many times I've lost count but it's up there- in the millions.

He Goes, She Goes

Last Elliot & Kathy Scene

I'm sure you've heard by now that Christopher Meloni will not be returning to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's season 13. It sucks but I am not surprised since I've been expecting that for the majority of season 12 with a few clues coming around. It's not the end for Chris (or Isabel) here! I will continue to love/support them and put them up on my blog!

On twitter, I saw some EO shipper (who shall remain nameless but there's lots of them) saying that the good thing about Christopher leaving is no more Kathy. I know she meant it as an insult or whatever suits her comforting but it is true in a way. Elliot is with Kathy rather than with Olivia so hip hip HOORAY!!!!!

Missing Stabler Girls

Maureen Stabler, first child of Elliot and Kathy, played by Erin Broderick.
Elizabeth Stabler, fourth child of Elliot and Kathy, played by Patricia Cook.

Both of them haven't been seen since Season 8- four years ago! Maureen was last mentioned in season 10's Lunacy and Elizabeth was last mentioned in season 11's Perverted...even still where are they? Why are the other three children (Kathleen, Richard, and Eli) are getting the glory more often then these two? And Elizabeth is supposed to be Richard's twin sister and still living at home!

Stabler Brothers

From the episode "Turmoil" in season 11 with Eli, Kathy, Elliot, and Dickie (or Richard)

"SVU" fans

My friend metalchick and I go to the same forum, SVUfans.net, and well, let me first tell you: that forum should be rename "EO"fans.net because that's what it is. And as you know from a previous blog that that's not what I am. A majority of the EO shippers there hate Kathy with a passion, calling her "AK" which stands for Apathy Kathy for what she had done in an episode called Dependent where Kathy saw the news about Elliot's job being on the line to the point where he could be fired and not stepping up to defend her husband. Well metalchick wrote on her blog about it and I wrote a comment (it's under Anonymous, I am not trying to hide but it's reason because I don't have an ID in LiveJournal so the openID option didn't work for me):
With the "Apathy", well I do believe Kathy was very much concerned about Elliot however what could she possibly do? Elliot was in trouble with the IAB and she hadn't lived with Elliot for two years at the time, plus she doesn't work alongside Elliot either. Another thing, IAB didn't call on Kathy so she couldn't defend her soon-to-be-ex-at-the-time husband. Kathy could have visited Elliot at his apt. sure, but knowing Elliot he would've said thanks and be closed guarded, wanting to be alone as we've seen him do that so many times before. If Elliot didn't talk to her while they were married before the separation, then when Elliot went to her house, he didn't even come with details about what happen other then that he almost lost his job and got it back. What would EO shippers think what would happen if Kathy came forth and Elliot turned her away?

Olivia stepped up to the plate, defending Elliot, trying to fight for his career (because, according to them, she's in love with him)...meanwhile Melinda Warner visited Elliot and she was really the one who saved Elliot's career. Well anyway, EO shippers love to paint Kathy as this slut who seduced Elliot who was in pain after seeing some children die with a bullet wound and took advantage of him, getting pregnant and begged Elliot to come home so now Elliot's in this loveless marriage with a toddler who may not even been his (their words, not mine) while lusting after the true love of his life, his work partner. Well as an EK shipper, it's my duty to defend my ship...first off, in Dependent Elliot went to Kathy's house and told her that he loves his job and his family, he wants to come home; then in Annihilated, he called Kathy to come by and check on his kids after finding three dead children and a wife while husband was wounded (the husband did it and tried to pin it on the wife because she found out that he was cheating on her). Kathy invited Elliot to stay which lead to them conceiving their fifth child...Kathy did not force Elliot to sleep with her. "Stay" could have easily meant that Elliot could sleep on the couch or the guestroom if he wanted to be near his kids making him feel better. Plus the bedroom door was wide open so he could have easily turned around and left. Well Elliot chose to be with his wife. As for Kathy 'begging' for Elliot to come home when she's pregnant, well if Elliot had found out another way about Kathy's pregnancy, he would have moved back home anyway. In season 6's Birthright, Casey asked Elliot if he had another child out there would he want it? Elliot replied 'damn right I would' and went on how it's love for the child, how he would die for his kids. So obviously, when he found out that Kathy was pregnant Elliot would want to be there and it's not because Kathy told him to. And the part where EO shippers would want Eli not to be Elliot's well...that's their assumption, not mine. Eli is Elliot's. It's been pointed out by Neal Baer, the Executive Producer of the show and you can't get any topper then that...unless of course Eli comes down with something that needs a blood transfusion, or a kidney, or bone marrow. If they do something about that and it does prove that Eli's Elliot's child, yeah, I'm not going to lie, I'll laugh hard. However there's a thing that is just ridiculous from the posts I've read: Eli is not Elliot's child because he as curly hair...!!!! Seriously???? Hmm well when I was Eli's age (who is two years old now but at the time he was a year old during season 10) I had curly hair just like his and my mom has straight straight hair...so does that mean my mom is not my mom? I would like to bet that if they look at their own baby picture at the age of one a good majority of them will have curly hair with straight-haired parents. I can guarantee it. I should note now that in season 11, Eli's hair has gotten straight...I'm not sure if it's played by the same baby as season 10 or not, hard to tell and the little actor's name doesn't appear on the credits.
Oh, and by the way for the record and side note, Maureen, Kathleen, Elizabeth, and Eli are all blonde hair, like Kathy's and in season 10 Elliot's mother Bernadette was first introduced and she had blonde hair, so the blonde hair gene does run in Elliot's side of the family as well as wavy hair. Dickie/Richard's hair in the first season was blonde but by the second season onward it turned brown.

I'll tell ya, it's hard to post in that forum, SVUfans.net aka EOfans.net. You talk or defend your ship and you get all these little pirates coming at you with swords and cannon balls when all you are doing is sharing your own opinion and love for a couple just like they all are doing, you'd think it would be like equality in a way, respect even. But no. Nonshippers of EO walk on eggshells or not visit, only visit rarely. That's what happened to me- it was over a year until I came back to the board and even still I don't go there as often as I once did when I first joined. It's not even just Kathy, it's also AO (Alexandra Cabot and Olivia), or anybody else who stands in the way, like Kurt Moss, Dani Beck, even Brian Cassidy from the first season, whoever Elliot and Olivia have planted lips or flirted around with. It's amazing that Dean Porter won over at least a half of the EO shippers, being placed as #2 for Olivia's love life partner. Who ever stands in the way of the "love" Elliot and Olivia, then they are viewed as the enemy and so are the fans who happen to ship some other couple. They say our opinion is welcomed, entitled, but regardless it always ends up the same way.

EO shippers, before you hit the reply to blog post, keep in mind that my blog is moderated and the messages get approved by me (on any of my posts)...just thought you should know that.

Law & Order: SVU "Shipper"

For those who don't know, a 'shipper' comes from the word relationship; usually someone who wants a TV pair together romantically.

Anyway, on Law & Order: SVU, there's a good majority number of viewers that would want partners Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson together. The 'only' problem is that Elliot's married to Kathy, so of course, the EO shippers have a grudge against her. Meanwhile, I am not an "EO" shipper by any means. Yes they do have chemistry but it's not the kind of chemistry that would glowing with great brightness once they kiss or sleep together, whatever. To me, if it goes that direction, the chemistry would be tainted. I prefer Elliot with Kathy; I think it provides some sort of a balance with the detectives with Elliot married with kids, Olivia single, John Munch being married and divorce 4 times, Fin Tutuola being divorced with a kid, Cragen widowed, all could relate to a family member, victim, or even suspect.
Despite whatever EO shippers may think, I do believe Elliot does love Kathy, in love with her. Although I would have preferred him to go home before the pregnancy announcement rather then after, I'm just plainly happy that they didn't get a divorce! In Burned, Kathy said that Olivia brought Elliot stability but I disagree with that- it's Kathy who brings stability to Elliot, she brings out the calm zen in him while separated he was a loose cannon.

Of course I do want Olivia to have a boyfriend, in fact the perfect man I have in mind for her is FBI Dean Porter. Except in the last episode he was in, Spooked, Olivia used him for a date and at the end he told her that their personal feelings wouldn't have matter. Ouch. But...I still have a little faith as Dean is still alive. As the Executive Producer Neal Baer likes to chant "never say never"
