It was believed that Lt. Olivia Benson and Captain Ed Tucker will finally take their relationship to the next level in "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18. But now new reports claim that Elliot Stabler is returning to rekindle his romance with Lt. Olivia Benson.
Things between Lt. Olivia Benson and Captain Ed Tucker are supposed to get pretty serious in "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18. So what will happen to their relationship if Elliot Stabler finally returns?
"Law & Order: SVU" fans have been shipping Lt. Olivia Benson and Captain Ed Tucker for quite awhile, but nothing really happened in their relationship for the past seasons.
Now, "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18 will try to change that. Mariska Hargitay previously shared to E! Online that Lt. Olivia Benson feels special whenever she is around Captain Ed Tucker in "Law & Order: SVU."
"He's so masculine and so strong and so powerful that she can [exhale] because he's that, so [Benson] gets to be a different color," Mariska Hargitay said.
It was previously reported that "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18 showrunner Warren Leight shared his interest in bringing Elliot Stabler back.
But just when everyone thought that Elliot Stabler will show up in "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18, the showrunner mentioned that he wants him back for the series finale.
Obviously, "Law & Order: SVU" is still doing so well and "Law & Order: SVU" Season 18 is very much hyped by fans so it's safe to say that the series finale will definitely not be in the near future.
