Mariska Hargitay, Harry Connick Jr.
For the first time in a long while, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Olivia Benson is in a stable, healthy relationship. But how long will it last?
Law & Order: SVU Scoop: Harry Connick Jr. to play Benson's new love interest
"[It] has to be scary as hell for her," executive producer Warren Leight tells TVGuide.com of the relationship between Oliva (Mariska Hargitay) and Executive Assistant District Attorney David Haden (Harry Connick Jr.).

Treat Williams
Treat Williams wasn't sold right away when he was offered a guest-starring role on Law & Order: SVU.
"I read the first 10 pages and within the first 10 minutes, I am with two underage girls in a hotel room and I partially expose myself. I called my agent back and said, 'Are you guys sure? Do we want to do this,'" he tells TVGuide.com with a laugh. "My agent said, 'Just read the whole thing and shut up.' So I did and I realized it was one of the most extraordinary parts I've seen in years. It was deeply moving."

Will Mark and Lexie ever get back together on Grey's Anatomy? -- Jeannie
NATALIE: Just because Jackson and Lexie broke up doesn't mean that Lexie will go running back to Mark, particularly since he isn't single at the moment. Yes, Julia will still very much be in the picture when Grey's returns in January, though don't expect Lexie to throw any more softballs at her chest -- not literal softballs anyway.

Gail Simmons, Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio
They say "Everything's Bigger in Texas," which happens to be the episode title for the premiere of Bravo's Texas-set ninth season of Top Chef (10/9c). And it also may explain why a ginormous platoon of 29 chef-testants descends on the historic Alamo for the first round of competition, and why the process of narrowing the field to a Top 16 can't even be contained within the first pulse-pounding episode.

Andre Braugher
It's a different character, a different city, and a different department, but when Andre Braugher returns to NBC for his first appearance on Law & Order: SVU Wednesday (airing at 10/9c on NBC), there will be one very familiar face in his midst.
"It's kind of funny because Munch has been in both of these worlds, and here I am basically in Munch's world appearing as someone else, so there's a cute little meet and greet," Braugher tells TVGuide.com of his reunion with Homicide: Life on the Street co-star Richard Belzer. "I say, 'Have we met?' There's a glimmer before we get down to brass tax in the show basically to acknowledge we know each other and that we spent a significant amount of time together."
