Renée Rapp, renowned for her portrayals in the series "Sex Lives of College Girls" and the musical adaptation of "Mean Girls," has revealed her fantasy guest role on the hit show "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." During an appearance on the "Today" show's "8 Before 8" segment, the actress-singer was prompted to envision which character she would embody on SVU, and her response was nothing short of intriguing.
With a playful grin, Rapp joked about taking on the role of Captain Olivia Benson's lover, played by Mariska Hargitay. "Let me fill you in," she said with a twinkle in her eye. "I'd be Mariska Hargitay's lover. She'd finally come out as gay." She referenced a pivotal episode where Benson contemplated her sexuality, with her partner Elliot Stabler (portrayed by Christopher Meloni) seemingly speculating that she might be a lesbian.
Rapp envisioned her hypothetical storyline on SVU, painting a vivid picture: "I'd be her lover, and we'd somehow become entangled in an undercover mission, likely involving a shadowy drug empire." Over the course of its 26-season run, Benson has had numerous romantic entanglements, but fans have overwhelmingly rooted for her to ultimately end up with Stabler.
Meloni has hinted at a possible return to SVU, sharing behind-the-scenes photos with Hargitay and co-star Dann Florek, captioning the post, "Hanging with friends on a Friday night." Meanwhile, though Rapp has ventured more into music, releasing her sophomore album "Bite Me," she remains a gifted actress with a dedicated following.
