After appearing in 15 seasons of SVU,

Stabler is the star of many nail-biting scenes.

Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) will

always be one of the best detectives in

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit history. And while he hasn’t been an official member of the SVU since Season 12, he’s been a player in many investigations since his return in Season 22 for Law & Order: Organized Crime. Between Stabler’s badass nature and his tight connection with Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), fans can’t get enough of Law & Order’s resident “Zaddy.” Stabler is the detective everyone should want on their case because you can always rely on him to get the job done, even if he needs to get his hands dirty sometimes.Some of the most intense moments in the early days of SVU were when Benson and Stabler disagreed on a case. No one likes it when mom and dad fight, but in Season 6’s “Doubt,” that’s what happened. After a heated investigation turned into a “he said, she said” case, Stabler and Benson took opposing sides, and the argument turned pretty ugly. Stabler and Benson fight rarely, but when they do, it’s rough.
