How's this for a Law & Order twist: Benson and Stabler had a secret love affair 20 years ago that resulted in a son -- and we're about to meet him!
Just kidding... about the love child part.
While it's true that SVU is welcoming a new, young male character -- played by Noel Fisher, late of FX's The Riches -- he's not the product of a torrid circa 80s B/S romp. Rather, sources confirm to me exclusively that Fisher has been cast as a rookie crime scene sleuth, a nerdy, eager beaver-type who is in awe of Benson and Stabler.
He's slated to appear in at least four episodes, the first of which will air in April.
Sorry about the bait-and-switchy lead, but there's only so much you can do with "new crime scene guy," you know?
