Mariska Hargitay‘s fans aren’t sure how to feel about her latest Law & Order: SVU post.
The 60-year-old actress took to Instagram this week to make a bold claim about “legendary” partners on the hit police procedural, but her followers seemed to think there was a major piece missing from her post.
On Thursday, Oct. 24, Hargitay was pictured in a series of photos starring various duos on the show, including one shot that featured her character, Olivia Benson, laughing while walking arm-in-arm with co-star Peter Scanavino, who plays Dominick Carisi.
The post, which was also shared by the official account for NBC’s Law & Order, was captioned, “Calling all legendary partners!”—though many fans weren’t totally convinced.
Users in the comments all seemed to be focusing on one thing: the partnership they really love to see is that of Hargitay’s character and Chris Meloni‘s Elliot Stabler. Meloni, 63, left the show in 2011, only to reprise his role in 2021 as he returned to the franchise to star in the spinoff, Law & Order: Organized Crime.
But fans have never forgotten about Meloni and Hargitay’s onscreen chemistry together.
So when Hargitay and NBC posted about her character’s “legendary” partnership with Scanavino’s character, many fans couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.
“But where are Benson & Stabler at?” one fan wrote in the comments.
“Elliot and Olivia are the legendary partners!!!!” another fan insisted, while someone else added, “The only Legendary Partner that will increase your viewing numbers is Stabler.”
Referring to Hargitay and Scanavino’s characters, another fan said, “They’re fine but we all know who her real legendary partner is. This is silly.”
“Legendary? That’s a stretch. Just because you keep saying it, doesn’t make it true,” said one commenter.
Others pointed out that Scanavino’s character was never actually partners on the job with Hargitay’s Benson, leading some to believe the post was a bit of “a stretch.”
“Huh? Benson & Carisi were never partners. You sure are reaching,” someone else argued.
