Carrie Preston makes an appearance on an up-coming Law & Order:SVU during November sweeps.
Law & Order: SVU Casts Carrie Preston and Timothy Busfield

* And as you may guessed, no I am not particulary into Kelli Giddish.
I'm glad the Kings and Brooke casted a blonde rather than a brunette for Kalinda, but
that was about it. Exchanging Sophia for Lana isn't like switching the DARREN's character
on Bewitched with Dick York to Dick Sargent. Don't know why people act like
everyone connected to Kalinda are like one and the same type. I really didn't like some of
the anti-shippers lobbying "meh! she can't act anyway. Just get another actress
as the FBI agent". Uh huh. Yeah right. knock yourself out.

[Gelfling]

I think you're showing your bias

I love Jill and I love Lana. I hope we get to see more of her on TGW soon. and I was reaaally disappointed when RP wouldn't let her go.
But Sophia was a great character. I loved Kelli from Chase and Past Life so I was happy they didn't just cast anyone to "replace" Jill for this particular storyline.

I'm not too sure how that would have turned out with Lana anyway. If anything, they would have burned her relationship with K to make the same point they did with Sophia being married. So all in all, I'm glad she wasn't available because now they can bring her back without all this bagage.

For me, all of good news!

I love them both! Why cannot they just all make a sex sandwich So much hotness there!

I love Lana and I love how she challenges Kalinda and how she's always asking her questions. But I found Sophia's character fascinating! I loved how K was around her! I want them both! End of story!

I also like them both! Veeery much! but I find them very different from each other, as well as their connection with Kalinda.
I find the scenes between Kalinda and Lana more sexy hot, as in novelty, and we get to see Kalinda more challenged.
With Sophia I think we get a more real Kalinda, who doesn't need to raise her armor so much, or to explain herself...

THIS! Exactly what I was trying to get at, but you write it so well! Both women are so different and K is so different with both. Though I wonder if K/L ever do sleep together, how will that bed conversation be

[AnewFriend]

Yeah, err... TGW is on CBS. Sorry, some of those darn folks
watching the show can't handle things even when Peter did the vertical
non-missionary to his wife Alicia. And they're married!

I say how about bringing back Lana (Jill) simply as
Kalinda's friend to bull**** and talk with? Sort of like
Jean-Ralphio on Parks & Rec! Ok, minus the annoying
Justin Timberlake singing.

Robert & Michelle King love Parks and Rec.

The bantering between Kalinda and Lana was funny, and
that's what made their scenes amusing.

There was zero physical contact. Just that hand caress thing in season one. This is why everyone loved it- men and women,
it was subtle and practically all acting. Hardly anything shown.

The Sophia scenes were blatant and not done well because it
looked to just be thrown in to show Kalinda and a woman
romping in bed for ratings from channel surfers.

Lily Taylor's Donna and Kalinda is simlar to Will & Celeste.
Rather unpleasant and extremely bitter former lovers.

I can you forget their "dinner" in Net Worth?! You don't really need to see everything, do you?! I think it was even more hot the way they filmed it.

I agree that some details could have been better worked out, but by no means I agree when you say it wasn't done well. Besides showing Kalinda in bed with a woman, it meant to show Kalinda having a new perception about herself.

Lily Taylor's Donna and Kalinda is simlar to Will & Celeste. Rather unpleasant and extremely bitter former lovers.

But I doubt that any kiss between Will and Celeste would be better than the one Kalinda and Donna had.

Are we even sure that was really their feet? Could've been feet models!!

When I mention the Sophia scene in S2 Finale, I meant that it wasn't written well.
I understand the concept, and the reason to carry Kalinda's ephiphany
toward her friendship with Alicia.
But the bed thing came out of nowhere.


Anyway, yeah they're different. Kelli Giddish doesn't
do the winking, cheeky, eyebrow raise facial stuff like Jill.
This seems to be more a Jill Flint the person, than a role play thing.
And that nudge. Too funny. Didn't she nudge Kalinda as they were
walking in Network in front of that bank building
FBI building?

This I agree with, I loved the scene and I like Sophia. But I agree on the idea of it being FORCED and the Kings only giving K a girl during sweeps, is freaking ridiculous. I do believe though they would have used Sophia better if she was able to stick around

But I doubt that any kiss between Will and Celeste would be better than the one Kalinda and Donna had.

Yea she was a little bitter, but damn you can tell there was so much history there and that I loved, loved it a lot! And that kiss wellllll

[Gelfling]

I find them very different from each other, as well as their connection with Kalinda.

Exactly! I don't think they are just stand-ins for one another at all. They are different, their relationship with Kalinda is different.
I love them both in different ways. And they are both great actresses, which doesn't spoil anything

With Sophia I think we get a more real Kalinda, who doesn't need to raise her armor so much, or to explain herself...

I think it's because she's been in a relationship of some kind with Sophia and Lana is still trying to get there, but on her own terms, which I love her for! She doesn't take any of Kalinda's crap

Though I wonder if K/L ever do sleep together, how will that bed conversation be

I wonder if Kalinda would stick around long enough for pillow talk with Lana

The bantering between Kalinda and Lana was funny, and that's what made their scenes amusing.

... and will keep making their scenes funny
But there was always this second degree, even in their very first scene together when they were just talking about work. What an awesome scene

The Sophia scenes were blatant and not done well because it looked to just be thrown in to show Kalinda and a woman romping in bed for ratings from channel surfers.

Well, sadly that's the reality of the way they use Kalinda's sexuality and it's true for Lana as well. She only ever shows up during sweeps.
And I think it was done really well. It was not overtly graphic but it was very sexy, just in a different stage of relationship. And it made a point, very effectively: Kalinda's feud with Alicia has left her raw and confused as to what she should do and who she should be.

Lily Taylor's Donna and Kalinda is simlar to Will & Celeste.

Oh don't even say that as a joke :nono
Donna was sooooo much more interesting than Celeste. She wasn't pushing Kalinda to get back together, she was hurting and trying to hurt back. It was way more complex and compelling, even if poor Kalinda paid a dear price for her behavior with Donna.

In fact, I think it's funny that all three women represent different stages in a relationship with Kalinda: the sexy flirtation, the on and off casual whatever, and the bitter post-breakup trauma

I love that!! Love the way you put it, so correct indeed. All that needs to happen now is K to get Lana into bed

[Gelfling]

Now you nailed it!

Kalinda is doing the nailing, I'm just standing over here and observing

I wonder what that made Burton though

All that needs to happen now is K to get Lana into bed

I wouldn't mind but if she comes back, I hope it's for more than the usual sweeps lady action and we get a good storyline out of it.

He doesn't fit in the list, not sexy enough

I agree
