Peter Scanavino plays assistant district attorney Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr., who is currently dating Rollins. The two are a fan favorite couple that finally took the big step to start a relationship after dancing around their feelings for many seasons. Naturally, fans are beginning to wonder how Giddish's exit will affect his character.
Reddit user u/ravenqueen7 started a thread asking if anyone else was getting nervous about Peter Scanavino, writing, "I wouldn't fault him for leaving of his own accord, but it will be very telling if he is kept on longer, given the misogyny claims that are now coming out from former actresses and writers on Wolf's shows. The actor hasn't said anything, but neither have the others and they likely can't issue any statements on Kelli's exit anyway." u/teenagedirtbag109 then responded that they predict that all of the actors will "slowly start to trickle out."
"It seems everyone was on Kelli's side except for the higher-ups. His role is affected by the departure of Rollins and it just depends on when/if he gets fed up with getting screwed around with," u/Schmedricks_27 added.
"SVU" writer and executive producer Julie Martin tweeted that the Rollins and Sonny — known to fans by their portmanteau of "Rollisi" — will get a happy ending, regardless of Giddish's unfortunate departure.
