‘Law & Order: SVU’: Kelli Giddish Talks Stability of Rollins & Carisi’s Relationship

“I was surprised that they actually let them get together,” Kelli Giddish admits of her and Peter Scanavino‘s characters, Sergeant Amanda Rollins and ADA Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr., on Law & Order: SVU.

Not only are the two together, but they’re also married with three kids. And in a season with a bit up in the air — Would Chief Tynan (Noma Dumezweni) force Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) out of the squad? Would Sergeant Odafin “Fin” Tutuola (Ice-T) retire? Could Detective Jake Griffin (Corey Cott) be trusted? — Rollisi was perhaps the most stable part of the series. That also plays into why Rollins is “settled” — though Giddish is hesitant to use that word — at SVU now.
