Welcome again, Sergeant Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish)! Sure, the previous SVU detective-turned-professor has a brand new job when she pops again up on the NBC drama, and it’s one she’s pleased with. Giddish returns within the October 17 episode of Legislation & Order: SVU, “Divide and Conquer.”
Within the episode, a pair’s ceremonial dinner ends with a violent residence invasion and assault by masked males, and Rollins suspects the crime is linked to her Intelligence investigation of a world gang of thieves. The promo, which you’ll be able to watch above, gives a take a look at Rollins and her companion, Detective Vince Corgan (John Clarence Stewart), becoming a member of Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and the remainder of the squad for the case.
“The crew’s harmful. A number of international locations wish to get these guys,” Rollins warns.
“It was enjoyable to play and discover a new chemistry with a brand new companion after all of the years of being with the SVU crew. And it’s so bizarre to listen to ‘Sergeant’ Rollins this time round, and to put on a unique badge,” Giddish informed TV Insider. “I’ve to say I didn’t thoughts it!”
She’s come again to play a Rollins who is way happier the place she is now than she was when she was educating; that work had been boring in comparison with her earlier work with SVU. Once we final noticed her in Season 25, she was unemployed, having turned down tenure, and as soon as once more serving to out with a case. She briefly toyed with returning to SVU—“It’s simply my luck, I’m lastly out there and also you’re not understaffed anymore,” she informed Benson—however the captain inspired her to determine the place she belongs in life. It appears like she has.
“Rollins loves her new job. She says it’s like attending to listen in on the entire world,” defined Giddish. “And I really feel like she’s actually comfortable, and it’s enjoyable to play that model of Rollins.”
