In last week’s Ask Ausiello, Law & Order: SVU exec producer Neal Baer teased that we would be “meeting someone in [Stabler's] life who we haven’t met before” early in the season.
Well, consider this mystery solved: That someone is none other than Ellen Burstyn! Sources confirm that the Oscar winner has been tapped to play Stabler’s never-before-seen mom.
What brings Mama Stabler to town after all these years? I suspect if might have something to do with a (SPOILER ALERT) soon-to-be-revealed bombshell concerning her granddaughter. But that’s just me speculating.
What do you think prompts the visit from mum? Any theories as to what Kathy’s hiding? Thoughts about Burstyn going toe-to-toe with TV son Chris Meloni? Comment away!
10 bucks and a bottle of snapple Elliot Sr. isn’t the baby-daddy of Elliot Jr!
Kathy dies and Stabler is left with his flock of children. Momma comes to help him?
i agree with dani!….she dies,mom helps and stable and liv finally hook up!!
Exactly what I was thinking Erin
I have no idea what’s going to happen but I like the all of the ideas you guys are tossing around!
Yeah, I’m guessing he’s not the father since they raised that issue in an ep last season where Kathy gave birth. This is Chris and Mariska’s last year on their contracts, so they could finally end up together?
I’m glad you made the “corrections” to your info. For those of us who know more than you do, it’s irritating to see bad info being leaked out. Besides that, I think this is excellent casting.

that was too easy, mike
I think dani might be read because that would then be an opening for an
Elliott/Olivia relationship.Guess we will see.
sorry meant to say thought Dani was right, not read. (Long day brainfreeze, my bad!!
)
TV Guide says Stabler’s mom is also bi-polar. Just what this storyline needs… more drama.
SVU used to be a good show. Now it’s just a shell of its former self. At least Meloni and Hargitay are laughing all the way to the bank.
P.S. – The Stablers had a son, not a daughter last season. In fact, I believe the kid’s name was Eli?
Ellen will be playing Stabler’s secret lover
Stabler also has a daughter…nothing in the article about it being a secret involving the newest addition.
