Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni Reunite with Kelli Giddish For 'SVU' Season Finale Filming

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni walk a little behind Kelli Giddish while filming for the upcoming season finale of Law & Order: SVU in New York City on Monday afternoon (April 17).

Kelli, who was confirmed to be returning for a guest starring appearance in the episode, was seen with a large baby bump. It’s being written into the script that she and Carisi (whom she married in the mid-season finale), are expecting a child.

A few months ago, Kelli spoke out about her exit, and revealed if she was forced out of the role – and she wasn’t.

“[It's] just that it’s time in the Rollins storyline. I felt like where it was heading, and where it headed last night, just seemed the right place to leave it right now,” she said at the time. “I am so excited about things going on in my personal life and kind of the mirroring of what’s going on in my personal life and in Rollins’, there’s a lot of joy to be experienced.”

The season finale of Law & Order: SVU is expected to air next month.
