Shakeup on Law & Order: Los Angeles: Skeet Ulrich Out, Alfred Molina Now Playing a Cop

Alfred Molina will replace Skeet Ulrich as the lead detective on Law & Order: Los Angeles, executive producer Dick Wolf announced in a statement Wednesday.

Molina, who currently plays Deputy District Attorney Ricardo Morales, will jump from the courtroom to the precinct beginning with episode 15. It will be revealed that Morales was an LAPD detective for 15 years, and when he becomes frustrated with the law, he decides to return to the force as a beat cop.

Ulrich will make his final appearance in episode 14. Cast members Megan Boone and Regina Hall are also exiting the series. Producers have yet to announce a new assistant D.A. to be paired with Howard's character.

These changes will promote both Molina and Terrence Howard, who plays the series' other prosecutor Jonah Dekker, to full-time status. "We have the fortune of two world class actors on LOLA, and it was frustrating to have one on the bench every week," franchise creator and executive producer Dick Wolf said in a statement. "It would be like having Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as your quarterbacks, playing alternate games."

At least they are keeping with the L&O theme when it comes to casts. :lol:
 
I really think these cast changes are dumb. Instead of actually developing the characters they have, they're going to try to start from scratch? I mean, I seriously doubt the cute ADAs were part of the problem with Law & Order burnout.
 
This anaylsis is from L&O SUV~

Page is missing~

Sunny [co-worker] finds her car idling but she's not in it, then he she falls off a high rise falling on said car to her death~

He had threatned her in open court... Olivia says the attack was personal. Lots of deep wounds, but she supposdly didn't have a boyfriend.. She was however in some type of abusive relationship.

Keck's Exclusives: SVU's Lucky Thirteen?

Are Law & Order: SVU stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni going to make it to a 13th season? "We're in discussions," Mariska told me at the SAG Awards. "I love the show so deeply. I can't imagine not doing it anymore."

Plus, there's one thing she still hopes for Olivia Benson before calling it quits. "I want Olivia to have a baby. But not with Stabler," Mariska says.
"Olivia needs a family. I think that's why she should ultimately leave [the police force]. She should choose a life of joy for herself over pain, because she's never had that. I tear up just thinking about this."
 
I fully expect Meloni & Hargitay to be back for a 13th season, even if it's only 13 episodes. And I'm really enjoying the new ADA. I hope she sticks around.

I've been watching SVU from the beginning again to try and catch all the episodes I've missed over the years. I just started watching Season 3. I think the show still puts out quality episodes in it's 12th season despite every season having at least one truly awful episode.

A TV host receives threats to her safety, and this rewakens her hunt for her sister's abuctor

TV Guide, issue Feb. 14-27~
 
The premise of this SUV, was the sick twisted world of pedophlia, like the "Dateline, To Catch A Predator" Debra Messing was the guest and so good.

Someone is stalking her , she had a sister who dispeared 25 years ago and has a shrine of sorts like she went missing yesterday. Ice-T is a crack up, and Mariska is so beautiful. But Christine Lahti annoys me so abrasive. Alicia can't find anyone who will help her find her long lost missing sister, so she's on a crusade to do it on her own.~

The team goes to the park where the sister was found and discover 6 more bodies. Alicia call the killer a "rabid dog"

This one is "to be continued"

She then calls a press conference and tells everyone one off, WHOA, when then she shockingly takes a gun out and shoots herself:wtf: The Asian guy [don't know his name] shays "That's what you get when you mix a sociopath with a narcissistic"~

JOHN STAMOS DISHES ON HIS ‘GLEE’ RETURN AND ‘LAW & ORDER: SVU’ GUEST SPOT

John Stamos is a busy guy these days, and I (along with my army of fellow humans who have had a long-standing crush on him) wouldn’t have it any other way. So in my quest to find any and every reason to talk to John Stamos, I got him on the phone yesterday to get some info about all the ways he’s going to be on our TV in the coming weeks.

The excitement starts tonight when, as EW’s Tim Stack revealed earlier, Dr. Carl (Stamos) and Emma (Jayma Mays) seek the help of Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) for their nonexistent sex life. “I knew that Emma was a virgin, and then we got married in an episode, so I was like, ‘How are they going to deal with this?’ So you find out that Carl and Emma are actually having sex problems. And the problem is they’re having no sex,” he tells EW exclusively, adding a juicy tidbit: “I think you find out that she might still have some feelings for Will.”

Can we get a hip-hip…wait. Does this mean no more Carl? A.K. Freaking. A. No more Stamos?

“I think I’m going to come back to wrap up that storyline, but you never know,” he says. “I think people like me on there, but they really love Will and Emma together. So I don’t know how much longer people can stand Will and Emma not being together. You never know what they’re going to do. It’s funny, people respond, most of it is really positive, but some are like, ‘We love you, but get off of Glee because we want Emma to be with Will, not you!” He can stay on as long as he likes, as far as I’m concerned, as long as we get more songs like “Afternoon Delight,” which he also reveals, holds a bit of a mixed meaning for his TV wife. “Emma thinks it’s about dessert [laughs] and it’s about a nooner. I never thought I’d be singing that song and in that outfit.”

On the completely opposite spectrum of TV, Stamos is currently in New York filming a “dark” guest spot on SVU (scheduled to air in April or May) in which he plays a reproductive abuser with 47 children who “loves babies and loves procreating.”

“It’s hard for them to pin him, but it’s abusive in that he’s poking holes in condoms and not letting women know that they’re in danger of getting pregnant. It’s a really fascinating, interesting, complex character that I don’t normally get to do. Usually for TV or TV movies, when they say, ‘Hey, this is a really good character,’ you’re going to get to play a drug addict or some sort of murderer. But this is a different, dark character,” he said. “Guys like me don’t normally get the juiciest roles because I think people think of me in a little lighter fashion.”

Something tells me that won’t be the case after this role.

Revamped Law & Order: Los Angeles to Return in April

A newly revamped Law & Order: Los Angeles will re-launch in April, NBC announced Monday.

The freshman spin-off will return with a two-hour episode on Monday, April 11 at 9/8c before moving to its regular timeslot on Mondays at 10/9c the following week.

Law & Order: Los Angeles, which last aired in December, underwent a major creative overhaul in January. Skeet Ulrich, Regina Hall and Megan Boone all exited the series, which in turn promoted part-time cast members Alfred Molina and Terrence Howard to full-time regular status.

When the series returns, Molina's character will move from the district attorney's office to the police force (to work as a detective alongside Corey Stoll's character) and Howard's character will become the show's sole senior district attorney.

Alana De La Garza, who played A.D.A. Connie Rubirosa on the flagship series for four years, will reprise her role and team with Howard in the courtroom.

"We are pleased to welcome Law & Order: Los Angeles back to NBC's regular lineup," NBC Entertainment's new chairman, Robert Greenblatt, said in a statement. "Dick Wolf and his team have made some exciting creative changes and we can't wait to re-introduce the show to audiences."
