If there's anyone "SVU" fans would like to see Olivia Benson paired up with, it's her former partner, Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). While the two had undeniable chemistry during their years on "SVU" together, Stabler was married, and thus a romantic relationship was never explored.

However, now that Stabler has returned with "Law & Order: Organized Crime," and he and Benson are back in each other's orbits, there is, of course, the possibility that the two might go where they never have before. "Hope springs eternal. I mean, why not? I think it's going to be a collaborative effort between those showrunners for 'SVU' and 'OC,' and I believe with Mariska and I, to kind of figure it all out," Meloni said (via Today).

But there is still one thing that stands in their way: When creating these characters, "Law & Order" executive producer Dick Wolf chose to name them after his own children, Elliot and Olivia (via Mental Floss). There are some who speculate that this is the reason why Stabler and Benson never got together in the first place — and if you've ever needed proof that the two were not initially intended to be love interests, this should be it.
