Benson and finally stable together in New York Special Unit? Mariska Hargitay answers!
Benson (Mariska Hartigay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) will they finally get into a couple in New York, a special unit? This is the question that fans have been asking for years. It must be said that the duo has a real alchemy and the prospect of seeing them concretize makes the majority of viewers salivate.
However, apart from an almost kiss, nothing has happened between them yet. But then, can we hope that it happens very soon? Invited on the podcast of Call Her Dayy hosted by Alex Cooper, the interpreter of Olivia replied without taboo, first evoking her idyllic relationship with her lifelong partner:
“We have deep confidence”
“We are simply connected. We are so close … We are so comfortable with each other. We have a deep confidence towards each other. We know that, whatever happens, if he needs me, I will always be there for him – and it’s reciprocal.”
The fact remains that the actress would not like it to happen immediately … quite the contrary: “Maybe in the very last episode. I think that is when they should be together.” But it is still necessary to be the right time, because it wants it to be done only “If it’s right. We’ll see when we are there.”
“Chris Meloni had a deep impact on my life”
As for his link with Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay readily compares him to the one who unites benson and stable: “We are souls, in a way. It is true. And I think that … I mean, Chris has had a deep impact on my life, on my art.”
“I think we had a great influence on each other and Olivia and Eliot too … but let’s wait to see where history takes us” concludes the actress. Suffice to say that fans of New York, special unit will have to be patient to see this iconic pair end up getting together!
