We know what's up with the Governor, but what about Mr. Meloni? Chris has resurrected his role as Elliot Stabler after leaving Law & Order: SVU in 2011. Meloni's new series titled Law & Order: Organized Crime, where he brings back his Elliot Stabler character just finished its first season on NBC. Season Two will debut this fall.

Meloni's co-star in Law & Order: SVU, Mariska Hargitay, was devastated when Meloni decided to leave the series after 12 seasons, according to variety.com. However, Hargitay said it was all about their on-air chemistry. They were back together in the first episode of Meloni's Organized Crime, series and it was like Elliot Stabler never left.
