'Lost' No More: Henry Ian Cusick May Find Love on 'Law & Order: SVU'

by Jason Hughes, posted Jul 7th 2010 12:40PM
Henry Ian Cusick'Law & Order: SVU' is already the most popular and critically acclaimed of the vast NBC 'L&O' empire. Did it really need to add the brilliant Henry Ian Cusick to the cast? Maybe its going for "most beautiful" as well.

The former 'Lost' star has signed for at least two episodes for this fall, according to TV Guide. Executive producer Neal Baer says they were looking for someone who is "a sharp, smart leader and very charismatic." Already a fan of 'Lost,' he thought of Cusick.

On whether or not Cusick's character, who's described as a graphic artist named Erik Weber, will be a potential new love interest for Mariska Hargitay's Det. Olivia Benson, Baer is more cryptic. "There might be some flirtation," he admits. "Erik meets Olivia when he comes to someone's aid. And then we'll see how it goes." We interpret that to mean if the chemistry is there, Cusick just might be asked to stick around a bit longer.

It's hard to imagine any woman not having instant attraction and chemistry to Cusick. What do you think? Is Cusick a good match for Benson?

Olivia, please stop being such a whiner. A friend pointed out that she stopped watching L&O SVU because everyone Olivia comes into contact with commits suicide. I know I can't watch because she whines too much. The adult child of a rape victim has to be a better, stronger person than what she portrays. STOP WHINING AND F$%#^&G WITH Eliot's mind!

I would bring them together for a flirtation and a couple of dinner dates. She decides he's not her kind of guy and he becomes a genious stalker who, finally, kidnaps and holds her against her will until Elliot and the squad rescue her.

Had not heard that Chris was leaving (BOO) but there is still time plenty of time for long time fans to finally have payoff with a romance between Benson & Stabler. Please no distractions if this truly is Stabler's last season.

Olivia and Elliot have this "special bond" going on. They love each other but will not cross the line. Olivia and Goren would be totally awesome; only if Elliot is leaving. How about hooking the new guy with the Medical Examiner??
