Relationships [edit]

Elliot Stabler [edit]

Hargitay has characterised Benson and Stabler's kinship As "rattling complicated".[8] Her assessment is that:

Sometimes information technology's identical a great deal like crony and baby, and I think the reason that they're so imminent is that they part a Passion of Christ for their jobs and for the people. They get a reciprocating honor for nonpareil another. I think that the average lifespan of an SVU detective is four geezerhood because of the difficulty and stress involved. They've been doing it for longer than that, so they feel like-minded they'Re in their own world almost. There's also sexual chemistry betwixt them, it's so soused and layered. Multitude ask me if they'll always get together—and people wish that, and sometimes I recollect even Olivia wants that—but I don't think that bequeath ever happen.[8]

Baer agrees that a romantic relationship between the deuce is unlikely, though commented: "You never commode say never".[8]

I'm negotiating [with him to drop the gun]. It was a painful, piping-bet scene. Elliot and I have to admit what we average to each some other... Helium is everything that [my lineament] Olivia has. Indeed this was where we really got that to pay off."[24] In an sequence in which Stabler goes cloak-and-dagger to charm an plover-like-smuggling ring, Benson shows upwardly at his sign of the zodiac and tries to talk of the town him unfashionable of it; when they are interrupted past Stabler's targets, she undresses and pretends to be a working girl.[25]

When she tries to talk to him about information technology, however, he becomes defensive and tells her to "pull out". She in the end joins Stabler's children in staging an intervention for him.

"The exhibit is very fortunate to have Harry's extraordinary talent, and I'm lucky because I get to work with my friend. I suppose Olivia couldn't have asked for a improved companion to take her through a new stage in her life history and career."

I get letters saying, 'I want to perform the right thing like Olivia. I want to be strong like Olivia. My friend did this, but I didn't practice it because of Olivia.'
