Michaela McManus’ First L&O Episode
Lucky girl gets to work with Luke Perry. Man, she’s worked with two of my TV crushes…
You know what they say: Where there’s smoke, there’s usually a red-hot casting scoop.
There I was, enjoying a late-night dinner Sunday on New York’s Upper West Side when who, pray tell, should walk by but Dylan McKay himself — Luke Perry! I quickly asked myself, “Self: What’s Luke Perry doing in the Big Apple?”
A few phone calls, two picked locks and one well-placed bribe later, I got my answer: He’s in town shooting an episode of Law & Order: SVU. And not just any episode: Perry’s appearing in the hit procedural’s Sept. 23 season premiere, an hour that also features guest turns by Sara Gilbert (Roseanne, ER) and Julie Bowen (Lost, Boston Legal, Ed).
According to sources, the plot revolves around a couple (Perry and Bowen) that stands accused of abusing their foster child. Gilbert plays the boy’s biological mother.
The episode also marks the debut of SVU’s new ADA, played by One Tree Hill knockout Michaela McManus, and deals with the repercussions of Benson’s attempted rape, and answers some lingering questions surrounding the possible transfer of Ice-T’s Fin.
Bottom line: This episode is going to be smokin‘!

What can you tell us about Michaela McManus’ new character?
As you said, she’s the new ADA. She’s coming from Washington, D.C., where she worked for the federal government in the Justice department on victims’ rights, because she wants to be in the trenches. She comes to New York so she can actually work face to face with people instead of just in D.C., governmentally. Also, She’s going through a divorce.
Some of us are familiar with Michaela from One Tree Hill, where she was playing a character in her early to mid 20s. Seems a bit young to be an ADA. I assume she’ll be playing older on SVU?
Right, she’s much more sophisticated in this show, you’ll see. Clothes, hair, she doesn’t look like the same person. She plays in her late 20s here.
Ouch!

From the SVU production blog on NBC.com about our new ADA
As promised, we wanted to give our Blog fans first dibs at our new cast member: Michaela McManus.
Michaela comes to us from the TV series "One Tree Hill" and we couldn't be happier to have her! She is originally from Rhode Island but went to Fordham University for undergrad and NYU for grad school, so we consider her a NY native.
Her character: ADA Kim Grayleck has a great back-story. She is a hot-shot young DC up-and-coming lawyer who has recently separated from her husband, also a government lawyer. Her marriage is at an end because Grayleck used information her husband gave her in confidence to blow the whistle on a Congressman involved in a sexual harassment case. She had been dealing with the policy-making side of sex crimes for years and worked for the Federal Office of Violence Against Women. So she works hard to keep things like what her husband leaked about the congressman from happening.
After losing her husband and many friends, too many people in DC developed a negative opinion about her biting the hand that feeds you. This sends Grayleck spinning. She reexamines her life and career and comes to the realization that it's the victims she wants to help. So she jumps ship to NYC and makes a lateral move into the Manhattan DA's office (she's no baby ADA, she's a proven trial attorney).
She's a crusader, she's a newly single woman not interested in dating, and she's going to pour all of her energy into her work. ADA Kim Grayleck is going to take on all comers!

I didn't really like it that much. Mostly because in my downloaded it looked like they shot it in the studio before a green screen and it didn't really worked well around Michaela. But it was kind of fun tho. I'm just not sure they would have worked out, it wasn't that real...

No, it doesn't seem like Lucas, it seems like a place Lindsay would be. It looked like they were just done playing tennis or something...could you see Lucas playing tennis?? HAHA!

haha, yeah, I agree!!
The place might be Lucas's, but they both didn't looked like themselfs.
I'm so glad that Lindsay is out of the picture as his girl!

Lindsay wasn't in the last episode, but do you think she should have and that it should be her who got Lucas from the airport and did the tour with him?
Could the tour had a big succes if Lindsay was there with Lucas?
Or do you think it's smart from Lindsay not to go to the tour because there might be a chance that Peyton could have been there with Lucas and she didn't want to have any weird scenes?

I think it would have been very ackward if she had been the one to get him and take him. And then have to tell him the tour was cancelled. I am sure that was not her fault, but I know it was hard on Lucas.
But he was right, he's coming home to Peyton, so that is all that matters.

Yeah, I agree!!
It's indeed the most important that he goes home to Peyton and I loved the part in Mouth's tv show where the guy talks about that player who put down that million dollar contract and got home to his family! I think that Mouth said that to help Lucas too!

Yeah, not only to help Lucas though, to help himself.

Yeah, indeed! It also helped himself!
I think that's why he came back on it! Because he just realised it himself.
