Nielsen ("Gladiator") will appear in a six-episode arc while Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) goes undercover. Nielsen will play Detective Dani Beck, an NYPD warrants officer and will be partnered with Det. Stabler (Chris Meloni). The six-episode arc was filmed while Hargitay was on maternity leave.

Executive Producer Neal Bear said, "We're thrilled with Mariska's Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and Chris' nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series this year, underscoring the great performances both of them gave this season. The intensity continues with new episodes that explore both their characters: the audience will discover a secret about Benson's personal life that may shatter her, and Stabler will confront a problem he never expected." He added, "After some turmoil in Benson and Stabler's relationship last season, they will come to depend on each other more than they ever have in the past."

She is. She went on maternity leave at the end of the show. She'll be back in a few more episodes. Definitely before mid-season. They have her "undercover" on the show to cover her absence. I believe she's filming now and they started back from hiatus in late July/early August when she just had her son August.

I hope so, I like her. she is hot and sexy in a weird kinda sexually ambiguous way. Still I am attracted to her. L&O has always been dynamic, that's why it has done so well. Always has succedded with new charicters. If she leaves then she will be missed, but I am sure that the network will find someone that will fill her shoes.

maybe for the most part. I LOVE her character! On another note, I love Law and Order CI, and that is all because of Vincent D'Onofrio's character.
