He was awesome! Spanned 3 shows, too: Homicide: Life on the Street, X-Files, and SVU. Loved the Homicide/Original Law & Order. Pretty sure he and Briscoe got to be together! My 2 fave detectives!
I think that’s the most heartbreaking moment in SVU for me, not when Dodds died (though that’s still sad), not when Amaro left, but when Cragen said to Liv “There was nothing I could do, he turned in his papers.” When Elliot left without a word... no one knew that was coming, and I don’t know how many stopped watching because of that, but god am I just ecstatic he’s coming home
The irony of Casey Novak saying "do I know you?" as one of her first Iines has to be a nod to the fact that she played a criminal (different character) investigated by Stabler and Benson on an earlier episode
@@jinakaye her last appearance was last year... unlike Barba yet he got his goodbye. Its not like majority of these characters are dead and can't comeback - they just didn't put her in. Which is so sad because she was a recurring character longer than most who got a mention
I remember seeing Munch's last appearance and thinking "Jeez, they're acting like he's gonna die or something", but with Richard Belzer passing away last week...it just hits different. RIP the homie Munch, the best SVU character. 🍾🍾🙏🙏
I have to admit one of the ones I miss the most would be Richard Belzer(John Munch). His wit, background knowledge on almost anything out of the ordinary, plus his ability to change the angle of approach on any case was unbeatable. They took a lot of it from his character's experience working for the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Unit in Homicide: Life on the Street. Dann Florek played the character of Captain Donald Cragen to perfection. Too difficult to replace. Made the hardcore decisions that were needed including putting his team members in their place when they needed it. And was heavily involved in the cases. It's hard to choose one in particular when looking at the A.D.A.'s. I would take either of the following three. Stephanie March as Alexandra Cabot, Diane Neal as Casey Novak, and Raúl Esparza as Rafael Barba. They all played their roles well and all had their own traits. Very well scripted and any of the three would fit right back in.
As much as I love the new SVU team, I stil miss the OG team so much. Those were the good days. Olivia, Elliot, Munch, Cragen, Fin, & Alex were the best SVU team in my opinion.
This is probably my 3rd time watching the series from the start in 2 months. The earlier episodes were just sooo eerie and gooood. Not to mention you can see how their dialogue about sex crimes changed over time.
Gosh that last shot in Elliot’s last scene... just Benson and Stabler, they’re hands covered in blood, looking to each other across the room in shock. Hell of a thing to leave us with for 10 years.
Only a few more days, 4 more days and we get to see a reunion 10 yrs long overdue, wonder how it will go though, then again, Fin kind of spilled the beans when he said "you never know who may show up"
@@azodo88 aw no way did Liv guess he meant Elliot😆At least no way did she really believe it. The face she made seemed like the thought came to mind but she’s so jaded to the possibility that she completely dismissed it.
@@mckayleem3098 viewers are putting the “Easter egg” together. BUT again, I read in an article that the crossover revolves around Elliot’s family, especially Dickey. So we will know what happens w/this crossover in 4 days
@@azodo88 i hope they don’t completely character assassinate Dickie or something. I realize something big’s gotta happen to reunite these two but I always had a soft spot for Dickie. Not that any of his kids are a good option for tragedy.
@@mckayleem3098 I hope that's the case. On the bright side Diane Neal has returned to acting after a six year absence, and admitted in a recent interview that she would like to return to SVU, so we might see Casey Novak again in the the future.
@@bangslamwham88 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻that’s great news! Casey’s scrappy A.D.A. vibe was unique and I’ve missed her. Maybe she could do an episode or two on Organized Crime too. Her and Stabler were pretty solid friends, that would be cool to see. But after them brining Elliot back after a decade and Cabot after a good long while too, I’m not ruling anything out.
I wasn't sure about Stone at first because I was still getting over Barba leaving, but he won me over so fast. His departure was so sudden and heartbreaking. What a great character.
Sister Peg's last appearance was the most tragic one of the whole show. Everyone got their chance to say goodbye or at least they were expected to die, sister Peg's death was totally unfair and uncalled for, just like in real life.
I think Sister Peg getting killed off for no reason was worse than Stabler leaving in the next episode. Shooting a 14 year old girl who was blasting up the squad room is a bridge too far for him?? Stabler constantly assaulting civilians, perps and even victims over the course of 15 years is way worse IMO (I'll always especially cringe at the time he nearly beat his own son to death because he thought Dickie was implicated in a crime).
@@wayanlantela8175 Alex Cabot should take the job Jack McCoy had and Barba should be a more permanent defense attorney on the show like Rita Calhoun or John Buchanan
I became a fan of Rafael Barba. He was the best addition to the show in recent years and I sincerely hope that he returns to the fixed cast of the show. Since his departure, I have the feeling that the team is incomplete.
Richard Belzer(actor) still alive and Munch was written off only as retired, but hasn’t “died”. He could actually come back as a guest appearance for Olivia’s award if writers wanted.
I hope he’s mentioned in this crossover special. I kinda want Olivia and Fin to rub Elliot in the face by mentioning Nick and how good a partner he was to Olivia.
@@anneofgreengables1367 Me too! Especially since she said “whatever that was” to Nick which sounds like she doesn’t even talk to Elliot anymore..awks lol
@@MsTinkerbelle87 I figured she tried to call him but he wouldn’t respond, so she stopped. But I just loved that last moment between her and Nick. I liked his character. Hot headed but he had a good heart. And he and Olivia had a sibling dynamic.
@@anneofgreengables1367 YES!!! I know many people dislike Amaro, but tbh his friendship with Olivia was beautiful. I wished they woudnt have ignored him after he left.
Actually, before she became "ADA Casey Novak" , she was previously a Wall Street investor, with a choking fetisch. And "Amanda Rollins" was just a secondary character, of unmemorable note.
That's a different character, named Amelia Chase (season 3 "Ridicule"). Also played by Diane Neal. But that happens a lot in L&O. Favorite one for me is Jerry Orbach playing a defense attorney in season 2 before becoming Det. Lennie Briscoe.
From what I recall, Adam asked to be cut from the show. He wasn't happy with how his character was progressing, and felt the audience wasn't warming up to him at all.
@@DextersLab13 Hence my raw deal comment. He wouldn't have asked to leave if they had taken more advantage of his acting talents and given his character more development.
Adam Beach was suddenly cut from the show at the time because fans feared that he was there to replace some of the other fan favorites like Munch and Cragan. Adam Beach is a great actor and he should have been given more of a chance. By the way, if memory serves me right, Munch briefly returned to the show after Olivia was kidnapped by that creep. I remember that Munch and Cassady had a pivotal scene together.
Casey’s first scene is one of my favorites ever. I don’t know what about it, but it makes me laugh so hard. Plus her carrying the little girl away at the end. Love that one too. We don’t often get to see ADAs that emotional over kids.
thats always been my favorite thing about her and cabot as adas. they had a lot of emotional moments, esp casey. in the episode that she opened up to olivia about her ex fiancee her vulnerability was so moving to me. cabot and barba are close, but i think novak takes the top spot for me.
So way back then, I was not a fan of the ADAs. I started binge-watching the show since I haven't seen the earlier seasons/episodes, and I'm glad I did. It allowed me to get a different perspective on all the characters instead of when I first started watching them, in the middle of the series, season 9 on up. I remember this episode; I cracked up because Casey came like it was nothing, and Liv’s response made it even funnier.
@@srdwall not so much as an ADA. He gets personally involved with Amanda. I liked him as a detective way better. Every ADA seemed to have at least one episode that the focus was on them. But with the detectives, we constantly get to see them gently interacting with victims and kids. Not so much the ADAs except when the victims are on the stand.
Its really not that big of a stretch. Olivia is passionate about the victims and always stands for them, but she is still by the book. 1PP is the equivalent of the book.
Tucker's _rules_ were about crooked cops. SVU's _rules_ were about the victims. The rules may seem different or broken by one side or the other. But at the core, they were the same.
His character was so contrived. Coming out of the blue as Ben Stone's son that we NEVER heard about on OG L/O. If you were a person that never watched OG L/O you would be clueless on why his character had any significance.
Stone leaving was painful just because it hurt Liv. How desperately she said “hold on...” like she just wasn’t ready to lose another friend but he didn’t really give her a say. Ouch
The greatest build-up for a show/reunion between Olivia and Elliot for Elliott's return I think I've ever seen. Really hope it's worth the hype and Organized Crime can carry it's own but I think it will. Haven't really watched SVU since Elliot left.
Watching this after finding out about Richard Belzer passing away yesterday. Needed to reminisce the old times of great SVU characters. rip Munch ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Danny Pino, the guy from Cold Case that plays Nick, I always made up in my mind that he left Philly and changed his name from Scotty Valen too Nick Amaro and came too New York too join SUV. I know that didn't happen, but I'm sticking with my story😂😂
Yeah I get those two characters' storylines confused lol. They both arrive as cocky new detectives, have messed up love lives, share a bond with a pretty young blonde female detective, and get involved with IAB. Also, Danny Pino has such a distinct, cute look that I pay more attention to his screen presence than his characters haha.
They’re almost the same exact character. Both characters on both shows went after sick pervs, beating them senseless, both had not only messy love lives, but family / sibling drama too. I totally get why you’d intertwine the Valens / Amaro characters
I miss John Munch and George Huang so much. They were my 2 favorites out of the 3. If you are wondering who my other favorite character is. It’s Odafin Tutuola. Which I’m glad he’s staying strong in the series and never left one bit.
@@b.jaeggi, even though Cragen and Munch had to retire (NYPD mandatory retirement at 63), it would be nice to see them again in some capacity on SVU and/or OC.
I couldn't believe he got arrested. I was like wait what he got arrested. It was a shame even though I like John Munch better as Finn's partner I also liked Finn with Chester.
Beach, Ice-T, Wong, Belzer and Meloni. God damn, I dont remember any specific episodes or anything but I watched these guys all the time back in the day when I was a kid.
Man I cant wait to see when Stabler returns. Last time we saw him he was forced to kill a 15 year old girl. That look on his faced....You can just imagine all the thoughts going through his head. Great acting.
i love most of these characters but Tucker really hurts the most. his character development through the series and he was my favorite BF of Olivia. He was so good for her and Noah and for them to end his character like that kills me everytime!
The Season 9 finale, "Cold", had one of the most depressing endings in the entire series. Lake was going to jail, Novak was suspended by the DA's office and Fin was attempting to transfer out of SVU due to a falling out with Stabler. Both Novak and Lake deserved better send-offs than what we got...
What do you mean 😢😮but wasn't her fault when you say she left him in a vulnerable spot no offense to him but he wanted to come along so hey 😞👋 at the end of the day it wasn't nobody else fault
Dear lord I hope it’s not the last EVER...if so, that was a crappy way to write his character out. It was rumored that he was supposed to make more returns last season after his cameo about a year ago, but of course show production had to stop for obvious reason. Ergo, I really feel like there’s more they can do with him.
I would have liked to see Munch's last scene when he retired - not the one from 2016. The one showing the brief flashback to Homicide and him answering the phone as "Homicide? I mean, SVU?" And I realize this is nitpicky but I would have loved to seen Cragen's first scene from the mothership (1990).
@@nahuelscofano2319 the actor, Mike Doyle, was always on the guest stars list, never a regular, which is the only reason I can think of. I was always a fan of his, too.
I watched Law and Order SVU during quarantine. From Season 1 to the latest Season in 2020. Detective Munch became my favorite in less than two episodes on Season 1. I'm gonna miss hearing him. He made SVU with Odafin Tutuola. RIP, Richard Belzer.
casey novak was amazing. the longest ada in the show and she just left out of nowhere :-( i also loved george huang he was such an important part of the show
Nick was so strong charachter I thought he was more than just 3 season, the best replacement for Elliot, but Elliot is still the best charachter in the serie, a conversation between these will be great.

Oh, THANK YOU!!! I quit watching in mourning,, and thought I was one of a very few...
Munch was so intelligent, swift with his words, empatheric yet tough. I loved him as soon as i started watching the show.
I ve LOVED John Munch...Both the character and the WoNDeRfUL actor who played him!!!
Watching this after finding out about Richard Belzer passing away yesterday. Needed to reminisce the old times of great SVU characters. rip Munch ❤️❤️🙏🙏
When a show is good, but SUV is VERY good. Rhat us why it has lasted
RIP Mike Dodds, died too soon. He was going to be the victim of Barba's trolling.
Huang will always be my favourite character. I miss him so much! I also loved Rafa too. Best ADA by far! ❤
Chapter "Undiscovered Country" seems to me one of the most moving, Raúl Esparza showed us a Barba's side worth remembering.
My favorite episode for when all the cast are on one episode was Ghost. Seeing Cabot and Novak talking to eachother is surreal
me too
Is it sad that I’ve seen every single episode of this show and remembered the details of every character’s exit?! 😩🤦🏽♂️
THIS SHOW IS EVERYTHING 🔥
So bittersweet! 💔
Seeing this, made me realize how much episodes I've missed in the past couple of years
This show is addicting
Chester had fit so perfectly, I was sad what happened to him😭
YEAHH :(
Disagree, I felt he was unnecessary and just took away from Munch’s screen time who I love so much more
Fabulous Actors! Creative Writing and a Magnificent show. And the actor Chris Malone/Elliot Stabler will be back and I can’t wait
YESSS CANT WAIT
OooooouuUUPIiiiiiaaiiaiaaaaaaaaiaiaiaaaaaaaaiaaaaiaiiaaaiaiaiaiaaaaiaaiaaaaiaiaaiaaaaa
Sorry! My cat was standing on my phone! Love love love this show!
This show is so bittersweet! ❤️💔♥️

Danny Pino, the guy from Cold Case that plays Nick, I always made up in my mind that he left Philly and changed his name from Scotty Valen too Nick Amaro and came too New York too join SUV. I know that didn't happen, but I'm sticking with my story😂😂
Yeah I get those two characters' storylines confused lol. They both arrive as cocky new detectives, have messed up love lives, share a bond with a pretty young blonde female detective, and get involved with IAB. Also, Danny Pino has such a distinct, cute look that I pay more attention to his screen presence than his characters haha.
They’re almost the same exact character. Both characters on both shows went after sick pervs, beating them senseless, both had not only messy love lives, but family / sibling drama too. I totally get why you’d intertwine the Valens / Amaro characters
I miss John Munch and George Huang so much. They were my 2 favorites out of the 3. If you are wondering who my other favorite character is. It’s Odafin Tutuola. Which I’m glad he’s staying strong in the series and never left one bit.
I miss Nick Amaro so bad, please bring him back. He is another fine actor
Bring Tollinsnack
I wonder if Cragen or Munch will come back just for an episode later down the road? Maybe just to assist on an old case or something like that.
I want them back too.
i hope so...would love to see munch & fin team up again 🥲
I think Munch passed away in real life...hope I'm wrong
@@alexisgmoney Richard Beltzer is still alive. He's 76 right now.
@@b.jaeggi, even though Cragen and Munch had to retire (NYPD mandatory retirement at 63), it would be nice to see them again in some capacity on SVU and/or OC.
Rest in peace, Richard Belzer. Bye, Munch. You'll be missed. Love the old team!
I think Lake’s the only one outta all of em to end with being arrested
A shame. I liked him. He was a funny and chill guy for the most part.
I couldn't believe he got arrested. I was like wait what he got arrested. It was a shame even though I like John Munch better as Finn's partner I also liked Finn with Chester.
speaking of which shouldn't he get out of jail now?
@@warhero99 Actually. I dont think the show gave news of his trial or sentencing
@@younghopeproductions485 who cares bring him back
munch farewell was the saddest to me 😢
rest in peace, richard belzer 🕊️🖤
Still going strong after 22 years.
It's a wonder they don't have
LAW & ORDER Conventions,
like Sci-Fi & Comicbook fans do.
Wouldn't that be interesting?
American Dad actually had something like that where the Smiths went to Law and Order Fest.
I would go insane meeting Vincent D'Onfrio aka Goren from CI!!!
i would love that!
Sign me up!!
@@YolandaAnneBrown95726 Wow!! I too!!Iloved he.
So many great characters played in this series!! All time favorite is Benson, Stabler, Craigen, Munch, Fin, Cabot, Kelli, and Novak!!
I’ve said the same thing, such a great cast over the years 😊
That can’t be Barba’s last
Yes. I know😞 WE NEED OUR SASS MASTER
@@schalkem7478 yeah..
I’m glad I’m not the only really questioning this...because if it is, that was a crappy and strange way to write him off.
So many top tier actors that portrayed amazing and unforgettable characters!
Stephanie March still as beautiful as ever.
no le pasan los años, esta intacta en el tiempo
Beach, Ice-T, Wong, Belzer and Meloni. God damn, I dont remember any specific episodes or anything but I watched these guys all the time back in the day when I was a kid.
Man I cant wait to see when Stabler returns. Last time we saw him he was forced to kill a 15 year old girl. That look on his faced....You can just imagine all the thoughts going through his head. Great acting.
Olivia watching Amaro when he walks in like "I hate him already"
I liked Amaro!
i love most of these characters but Tucker really hurts the most. his character development through the series and he was my favorite BF of Olivia. He was so good for her and Noah and for them to end his character like that kills me everytime!
The Season 9 finale, "Cold", had one of the most depressing endings in the entire series. Lake was going to jail, Novak was suspended by the DA's office and Fin was attempting to transfer out of SVU due to a falling out with Stabler. Both Novak and Lake deserved better send-offs than what we got...
I can't wait for Stabler's return. I also miss Casey,Alex and John.
Benson’s “Who the hell are you?” line was too funny lmaooo
It's not only funny.... just rude as hell ❤😅😄😊 even if it is funny a little bit tbh 😭 I can't believe she said that
I'm in the middle of classes but i love this
I would kill to hear Judge Petrovsky say, “Not in MY courtroom, Alexandra!” one more time. God, I miss ADA Cabot! I miss them all!
Amaro and Barba left way too soon, I miss them.
Amaro was completely unbearable.
Stone deserved more
@@murbasi I loved him!
same 🥺
@@murbasi yeah, nick was my favorite character 😖
I still can’t watch stabler’s last scene but the fact that he’s coming back I could cry
Dodds had the most gut-wrenching exit. A good man taken too soon, and Olivia left him in a vulnerable spot when he was shot.
What do you mean 😢😮but wasn't her fault when you say she left him in a vulnerable spot no offense to him but he wanted to come along so hey 😞👋 at the end of the day it wasn't nobody else fault
I always loved hearing the psyche side from Huang, we need that again.
RIP Sister Peg, still mad about them killing her off...
I could never take Novak serious because she was on a previous episode as a perp.
Omg yes!!! why doesn’t anyone ever talk about this 😂
What ep
So was Carisi and there you have him...
Season 3 episode 10
I still have love for Monique Jeffries! Novak, too. Omg
This show broke my heart a dozen of times,funny part is i keep comin back for more....💔💔💔
That wasnt Barba's last scene! He and Liv had a tearful talk on the sidewalk about wanting things to be as they were before the pandemic!
Dear lord I hope it’s not the last EVER...if so, that was a crappy way to write his character out. It was rumored that he was supposed to make more returns last season after his cameo about a year ago, but of course show production had to stop for obvious reason. Ergo, I really feel like there’s more they can do with him.
I would have liked to see Munch's last scene when he retired - not the one from 2016. The one showing the brief flashback to Homicide and him answering the phone as "Homicide? I mean, SVU?"
And I realize this is nitpicky but I would have loved to seen Cragen's first scene from the mothership (1990).
And he was looking real handsome with the beard
This is Sonya Paxton erasure. She didn’t die to be forgotten like this... 😔
you're right and you should say it
@@lili2315guapa Ryan O'Halloran does not appear. Why?
@@nahuelscofano2319 the actor, Mike Doyle, was always on the guest stars list, never a regular, which is the only reason I can think of. I was always a fan of his, too.
THANK YOU!
@@ColeKeleher Ed Tucker's character was never in any of the credits period, and he made it on here.
Alex Cabot is still my favorite ADA till this day !
Can I just say that every time Barba is on scene makes me wanna study law and be as good as he is!
This makes me so sad, love this show.
A year later and I'm watching this video again. It's nice to see some characters have returned, even for a moment. Stabler, Captain C, Barba♥️.
I leanerd too much with everyone. I respect Law&Order SVU like a good book . I think that others men and women too.. Thanks, guys. 🌺
Nick went from a detective to the head of the Galindo Cartel... How things have changed
Barba, the best ADA SVU has ever had
Wow! Talk about a massive stroll down memory lane!!
I watched Law and Order SVU during quarantine. From Season 1 to the latest Season in 2020. Detective Munch became my favorite in less than two episodes on Season 1.
I'm gonna miss hearing him. He made SVU with Odafin Tutuola.
RIP, Richard Belzer.
safe to say SVU had some of the best characters in TV history 🤗🎉💯💚
casey novak was amazing. the longest ada in the show and she just left out of nowhere :-( i also loved george huang he was such an important part of the show
Nick was so strong charachter I thought he was more than just 3 season, the best replacement for Elliot, but Elliot is still the best charachter in the serie, a conversation between these will be great.
