“That being said, I am truly done with the idea of another possible love interest for Elliot and might stop watching if you don’t bring E & O together after all these years. It’s really too much.”
Another fan said after the show aired: “I want to see occasional recurring episodes with the Lena Hess character (as happened with ‘William Lewis’). Plotting, crazy, and she’s getting away with it as of now. Let’s see mind games, hunt and showdown w Benson. Could be fun!”
A third commented: “#OrganizedCrime was the best but don’t want to see Pearl and that awful casino story come back.”
