There's no better duo than Benson and Stabler. Their chimestry is so unique that can't be compared with other duos.

Hunter and McCall are a close second duo And both shows are NBC primetime classics

Same with Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

[@HovaNirvana]

Love them, so glad they’re reuniting. But as a “Friday Night Lights” fan I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Eric and Tami Taylor. And taking it further back - Tony Micelli and Angela Bower.

[@gabelogan5877]

It's sexual tension. Nothing unique there.

[@mckayleem3098]

I still can’t tell if their relationship was fueled by the character arch or the character arch was inspired by their relationship😂it’s truly seemless. I cannot wait to get the Benson-Stabler energy back.

I Agree

[@mindy56374]

Both. Continuous loop.

[@xrrgr]

they talked about how the both of them met at and were paired in the auditions for the show and it was instant chemistry

[@pheffrey9446]

Unfortunately there wont be much of a loop, hes gonna be on his own law and order show. So they won't actually interact together except for the premier crossover episode. But maybe in the future they will make more crossovers.

[@LegionIvory]

I think what truly linked them together is that they're both originally comedic actors. SVU is one of the most serious shows in American television, so to have two wise-cracking shit-talking comedians play serious leads side-by-side must have been very bonding for them.

So glad that the producers never went down the ‘will they or won’t they’ storyline. Just a good platonic relationship.

[@JamaicanRain]

They should have done two series - one for platonic lovers, which would probably consist of 96% of the audience, and one that wanted them together since 2 decades ago. Same case; couple scenes added or subtracted. Put on the DVD, maybe, hahaha.

The real will they won't the was Benson and ADA Cabot.

A lot of us want them to be a romantic couple. and that might be the reason Olivia has never had a stable relationship with anyone else. Personally, I’ll be very disappointed if they don’t go that route with the reunion

[@jo_clarke1960]

Can't remember the season, it happened in a hospital (there was lead up) but, they had a scene about choosing who to save or something and there was a "moment". Then it's mentioned about him being married or something, think that was where it was put to bed. In different family circumstances "yes" however, "no, because"...

When it comes to relationships on television, platonic or romantic, I feel that we as the viewers wonder about their off-screen relationships, if these actor/ress are as close in real life as their characters are on-screen. Sometimes, unfortunately, that is not the case, and the people that we love to see interact together on our favorite shows are not as close as they seem. However, there are a few whose relationships and friendships are truly genuine and they enjoy each other's company at work, as well as at home.

Everyone should have a friendship like this. Beautiful. Powerful. Awesome chemistry

[@roymoreno3767]

Ok, I'm man enough to say I teared up with the humanity of kindness we all have in abundance to share with one another and how this beautiful friendship unfolded and how we can all learn from it...if we want to...I have a favorite saying..."That was then, this is now"...LOVED THIS INTERVIEW and may many, many unfolding reunions come to you both...;)

Stabler is Back! HE will bring balance back to the Force!

I also wonder how Rollins will react to the 'famous' Stabler :) I really like her, and she's been part of the SVU for nearly as long as Stabler.

These two are the very best! And I am so excited that he’s back and even though he’s not on SVU full-time, I’m hoping they have a lot more crossover episodes.
