However, when that episode aired, the face hold wasn\u2019t even featured.<\/p>\n Why was it shown in a teaser and not in the show? Mariska <\/strong>said, \u201cTo be honest with you, Chris <\/strong>and I thought it should go one way and the powers that be didn\u2019t, so it got changed at the last minute, that near kiss. Obviously Dick [Wolf]<\/strong><\/a> gets final say. It\u2019s his show and he didn\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cWe want to hold the tension, and do what\u2019s right and truthful for both characters.\u201d<\/p>\n Could he return to the SVU <\/em>universe? \u201cI don\u2019t see why that wouldn\u2019t happen or couldn\u2019t happen. I think that we\u2019re sort of irrevocably locked.\u201d<\/p>\n Mariska <\/strong>also spoke about Kelli Giddish<\/strong><\/a>, her former co-star on the show who was written out<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mariska <\/strong>shared, \u201cKelli <\/strong>is my favorite actor to work with. Kelli <\/strong>is my heart. It\u2019s a sore subject. I have a lot of say on the show, but I didn\u2019t have enough there.\u201d<\/p>\n She\u2019s trying to get her back on the show next season. \u201cI don\u2019t like not being listened to, especially when I\u2019m right. That relationship was one of the most powerful relationships in television because you saw these two badass women, so flawed and so there for each other,\u201d Mariska <\/strong>added.<\/p>\n Find out everything we know about season 26 of SVU<\/em><\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
