Law & Order: SVU could possibly be righting one in every of its greatest errors.
Months after Kelli Giddish was let go from the hit NBC procedural, the star is reportedly closing in on a return for the upcoming Law & Order: SVU Season 24 finale, set to air someday in May.
Giddish’s comeback as Rollins will comply with her look within the penultimate episode of Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 3.
The star’s visitor stint on the Christopher Meloni-led spinoff was deliberate on the time of her exit from SVU.
TV Line first reported the information and in addition broke the next bombshell:

News of Giddish’s exit after 12 seasons broke in August, forward of the premiere of Law & Order: SVU Season 24.
“I wanted to address the chatter I’ve seen online and let everyone know that this will, indeed, be my last season on Law & Order: SVU,” the star shared in a assertion on the time.
“Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the Law & Order family for the last 12 years.”
“There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She’s grown and changed, and I have as well.”
“I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I’m grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life.”
