Crime shows are all about solving cases and putting away bad guys — but what about finding romance?
NCIS, Castle, Bones, Psych and more series gave fans intense crimes week after week while sprinkling in love stories between its main characters.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit hasn’t given viewers a happily ever after for Detectives Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) but that hasn’t stopped Us from rooting for them to finally become a full-fledged couple.
“We keep it open. We are very careful with the story, and we want to make sure that it’s dealt with the right way, and that takes just a lot of thought and we’re still in the journey,” Hargitay exclusively Us Weekly of the will-they, won’t they couple in May 2024. “I don’t think of endgame yet.”
Even if they’ve yet to consummate their love, Benson and Stabler are one of the greatest crime couples of all time.
