Off topic, did her SVU character die?

I think she's still on, recurring, toe tagging as always.

I believe it was her choice to go to recurring after being on contract on SVU for so many years (and juggling both that show and ATWT for several years).

She's rarely on anymore. Maybe a few episodes a season now.

She was on contract for a few seasons, but when CM left and SVU started purging all the long-running actors for budgetary reasons, her role was greatly reduced as well. I loved her as Jessica - it was great to see her get that part on SVU as well. I had no idea she'd been married for so long. Always a class act.

I always loved her as Dr. Warner - she often got great lines and her delivery was impeccable. Thanks for confirming about the status - and without going off the topic too much, I am shocked that SVU has gotten a renewal for a full 17th season. They rarely use the six regulars they have now all in the same episode as it is (though Raul Esparza/ADA Barba not being in every episode is a given with him doing double duty on Hannibal, which films in Vancouver).
