Summary
- Danielle MacDonald fulfilled a fan dream playing a complex character.
- The actress navigated an intense courtroom interrogation opposite Carisi.
- SVU returns January 8 after its fall finale on November 20.
Law & Order: SVU's fall season concludes on November 20, with a return scheduled for January 8. One standout episode featured Poker Face's Danielle MacDonald as a guest star. MacDonald portrayed a character who initially appeared to be a victim but later found herself on the stand, defending her actions against ADA Carisi.
MacDonald, a self-proclaimed fan of the series since her youth in Australia, described her experience as fulfilling a "teenage dream." The episode showcased her character's dramatic shift from victim to defendant during a rigorous courtroom interrogation by Peter Scanavino's Carisi. She praised the show's efficient production, calling the set a "well-oiled machine."
While "Feed the Craving" left Natalie's story with an open ending, the possibility of her return remains. Law & Order: SVU will resume its 27th season on January 8, following its fall finale, with earlier episodes available for streaming on Peacock.
