There’s been worries that “Law and Order: SVU’s” two biggest stars, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni were going to get the pink slip from the show, but not too worry, they aren’t going anywhere! At least for now. The two has signed a two year deal to stay with the show. Look like Dick Wolf somehow agreed to give them a raise they asked for, they’ll be getting paid $400,000 an episode, much higher than they were paid before.

NBC is smart. It would be insane if they left the show, so I’m happy they are on for another two years. Good news. The show’s ratings would tank without them on.

Law and Order’s, Dick Wolf, may terminate “SVU’s” two biggest stars of the show, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni…why? It’s all about the money. Reports say that Mariska’s and Chris’s $350 K contracts will expire in May, when they renew their contracts for the 11th season, Mariska and Chris are asking to be payed more, but Dick Wolf is not allowing it.

Mariska and Chris are the reasons the show gets high ratings every week. Those two help the show. Without them, the ratings would tank. These two are the best actors of the show and it would be a mistake if they get rid of them.

Christopher Meloni is an amazing actor and it be a shame if he was to be let go over money. NBC should give them what they want. They deserve to get payed more. Two big name TV stars that helped “SVU” become a mainstream TV show, and they don’t deserve to get paid more?

I know the economy is bad…the only reason Dick Wolf doesn’t want to pay them more is to help save money for his own pockets. If these two get canned, that would be travesty.
