Diane Neal and Stephanie March Return For LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Season 13

Well, this may help take the sting off of Chris Meloni’s departure from LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT — an NBC spokesperson confirms that former SVU stars Diane Neal (Casey) and Stephanie March (Alex) will return to the series for the upcoming 13th season.

While the number of episodes each woman will be in is still to be determined, new SVU showrunner Warren Leight tweeted earlier Tuesday, “Good news, ADAs Cabot and Novak will both be in the SVU courtrooms for Season13. Thanx Stephanie March and Diane Neal. Criminals, beware.” When a fan asked him if the actresses would be alternating episodes or if they’d be appearing together, he replied, “They will each catch cases as they come.”

What do you think? Are you thrilled Casey and Alex will be returning to SVU?
