Years after they ended their partnership in New York, Christopher Mellon (Stabler) hasn’t forgotten the good times he had with Mariska Hargitay (Benson). On the contrary!
So when US Weekly magazine asked the actress what her favorite scene was with her longtime partner, she didn’t hesitate a moment before answering: “I think my favorite scene will always be the scene where Lou Diamond Phillips puts the gun to my head and Stabler tells Benson to shoot him anyway.”
“It was a special moment”
This scene was taken from New York, Season 7, Episode 19, a special section, and is very symbolic in the actor’s eyes: “At that time, we were connected as people and as characters. And I think Mariska was eight months pregnant at the time, so that’s a moment that feels special to me.”
However, a lot has changed since then and the two constellations are no longer around each other as they used to be. Christopher Mellon is actually the hero of another spin-off of the famous franchise, as he now stars in New York, organized crime.
However, the romantic tension between the two characters is still very present, and the writers have a field day when it comes to crossovers between the two TV shows.
Remember, fans around the world went wild when the two heroes almost kissed in 2023. Let’s hope the events between them finally come to fruition in the coming months or years.
