New ADA for Law & Order: SVU
Michaela McManus, Fordham graduate who was recently on One Tree HIll, is going to be the new ADA on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Producer Dick Wolf said he looked forward to creating "another interesting and memorable character in the Law & Order universe." Previous ADA Casey Novak (played by Diane Neal) left because of her over-aggressive tactics to nail a suspect and the ADA before that, Alexandra Cabot (played by Stephanie March), went into witness protection.

I'm actually glad to see Casey go, I never really liked that character.

How come the ADA's on SVU are always women? Why not throw a guy in there for a change. Switch up the dynamics of it all. I know the other L&O's have male DA's and ADA's...why not switch them up too? Just a thought.

ADAs are commonly females because women are disarming and win jurors' sympathy. That's why they really need to explore this character in depth and show us her ass.

Why not a female DA and a male ADA?
We all know Diane Neal was getting too old -- it's obvious by the new ADA choice, who looks like a freshly escaped ex-model. Let's see an ugly ADA and a pretty DA for a change. Ha ha.

AUGH, this is balls.
First they take Cabot away from me, and now Novak?
And then they bring in some "One Tree Hill" trash?
Faaaaaaaahhk.
