Law and order: organized crime delved into Ayanna Bell’s background in the latest episode, also hinting at Stabler’s feelings for Benson which they were covered (more or less) in SVU and prepares Jet for what looks like a dangerous story. Next, the most recent Law the spin-off introduced a new character played by a FBI alum, which immediately made me think: it’s the new Kathleen Munroe THEY the character discards one Organized crime/FBI Through?
Like Law & Order: OC is already connected to the FBI
Now, under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t even make sense to speculate about character crossovers between two different shows on two different networks, but NBC Law and order: organized crime and CBS FBI they are connected by some degrees of separation under the banner of Wolf Entertainment. with the three FBIThey share a television universe with the three LawMuch like the trio of One Chicago shows, the ties are there.
And all this thanks to Chicago Police! One Chicago has officially joined the THEY universe in 2014 thanks to aa PS cross with SVUthen joined the FBI universe when Tracy Spiridakos moved to FBI like her Chicago Police character in 2020. None of the THEY programs have shared characters with one of the FBIit’s for now, but Chicago Police it is a bridge that link all nine Wolf Entertainment shows .
How Law & Order: The OC introduced a former FBI star
Kathleen Munroe made her debut in Organized crime in the season 3 episode that aired on January 26. She plays Rika Harold, an investigator specializing in white collar and organized crime at the prosecution. She was formerly a homicide detective in Louisiana (just like a certain agent in FBI: Most Wanted ), and introduced Stabler to the idea that a particularly nasty criminal would receive protection from the NYPD and/or the federal government. Rika called Benson along with Stabler as she tried to get him to join forces, and she seems like a pretty good new character…even if Stabler sees her as a complication.
after FBIKathleen Munroe played ADIC Rina Trenholm in seasons three and four before she was tragically shot and killed, much to the chagrin of Jeremy Sisto’s agent, Jubal Valentine. The actress was never a series regular on the CBS show, but she was central to some stories and her death was a point of influence in the season 4. Basically, even if the show doesn’t hold Rina’s death as a regular ( is one a different problem actually caused Jubal to drink again ), none of the characters in it soon forget this.
Does that really rule out a crossover?
For one thing, it’s hard not to notice that Kathleen Munroe has played two characters in the same town, on shows set in the same TV universe, with names that are just one letter apart from being identical. She made her debut in Organized crime almost a year from the date on which FBI revealed that Rina was dead So it hasn’t been that long. As a viewer of Wolf’s nine shows, I recognized him immediately Headit’s like Rika FBIAnd Rina.
On the other hand, the universe of Wolf’s nine shows is practically full of actors who have played multiple characters. Actually, FBIAlana de la Garza and Jeremy Sisto are both Law former students, and also Sisto thought about the idea of a crossover . Season 4 newcomer Edwin Hodge has arrived FBI: Most Wanted after one pass chicago fire .
Notably, Dylan McDermott went straight from playing Stabler’s nemesis in Head play an FBI agent Most WantedAnd FBI: Internationalrevealed Luke Kleintank that I would cease to act if i hadn’t had a role in SVU years before playing Agent Scott Forrester. Also stars like Peter Scanavino and Kelli Giddish of SVU played various characters on his own show before returning as a series regular years later.
So overall I would say Kathleen Munroe plays Rika Head just a year after playing Rina FBI It won’t exactly disrupt the space-time continuum of Wolf Entertainment’s universe. Personally, I appreciate whenever stars jump from show to show with no on-screen explanation. Would it have made more sense if Munroe had joined the universe through One Chicago, or after more time had passed between Rina’s death and Rika’s debut? Maybe, but I suspended my disbelief for more extreme twists than that!
Also, NBC broadcasts are only connected to the FBIand go Tracy Spiridakos appears in one episode from one of the CBS series, so it’s not like the Laws is likely to meet the FBIIt is early. They FBIThemselves have a big crossroads In the not too distant future! For now, I’d say viewers should suspend their disbelief at Rina vs. Rika and enjoy what Munroe brings to the Stabler investigation.
