Where is stabler from law and order

The unexciting reason Meloni left the show was the result of failed contract negotiations with the network. But for those wondering how and when Stabler disappeared from the cast, the showrunners decided to have it emerge on the back of an on-the-job shooting that simply hit Stabler as one crime too many.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni. Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are comedy masters. All Sections. About Us. B2B Publishing. Business Visionaries. Hot Property. It seems Stabler got stuck in a ripped-from-the-headlines anti-curfew protest where police vehicles were being targeted. He had stepped out of his car to make a call. The bomb of course was meant for Elliot.

Why did he really leave New York in the first place? Why is he back? Stabler soon discovers what Stuckey has been up to but he overpowers him, holds him hostage, and tortures him. Stuckey answers Stabler's phone when Benson calls, telling her that Stabler has gone to a restaurant to eat Sushi.

Interestingly, Benson shows up and rescues Stabler. When he asks her how she knew he was in trouble, she says it's because she knows he hates sushi and there's no way he would have gone to eat it.

Stabler wanted to be an architect when he was a child. This fact is revealed by his estranged mother when he seeks her help regarding a case involving his own daughter. She explains that he used to make towers out of blocks when he was little. This is in contrast to Stabler's own words when he handles a case involving a murder astronaut. He tells Dickie that he once dreamt of being an astronaut too when he was a child. In the same episode that he seeks his mother's claims, he disputes her claims, saying that he always wanted to be a police officer.

During a conversation with Dr. George Huang, Stabler recalls the times he broke the law. He narrates how he worked at his uncle's bar when he was younger. His time there wasn't so good as he was constantly insulted by patrons. One night, two teenagers ambushed him as he was emptying the trash and assaulted him. Earlier in the night, they had also insulted him inside the bar for refusing to serve them drinks since they had no I.
