Elliot Stabler and Richard Wheatley on ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’
Elliot Stabler thinks Richard Wheatley had something to do with his wife’s death. He’s determined to get to the bottom of her murder. During the show’s premiere, we learn Elliot’s wife, Kathy Stabler, was killed when the rental car they were using exploded.
Kathy lived for a short time before dying at the hospital. Although Elliot isn’t supposed to be working the case, he has remained involved and checks in often for updates. He won’t rest until his wife’s killer is caught.
Meloni says he believes there will be an ongoing “saga” between Stabler and Wheatley. The two characters seem to have a lot of run-ins. Stabler gets to the point where he almost catches Wheatley, but something happens, and he slips away. This cat-and-mouse game will likely continue well into next season.
“We have an altercation or two, or an interaction or two,” says Meloni during a virtual media event for the show, according to Deadline. “You know, our courses must intersect. I think [Wheatley’s] going to get the short end of that deal. A lot of things get answered, but then a couple other big questions arise, so there’s going to be a continuing saga, I believe.”
Meloni also says Stabler is in a “tangled arena.” He’s grieving the loss of his wife but also managing an attraction to Angela Wheatley, Richard’s ex-wife.
“Stabler’s in a place that he’s never found himself before,” adds Meloni. “He’s always been assured of walking on terra firma, and now, everything is shifting beneath his feet, and I just think he is overwhelmed, and confusing comfort, succor, affection, for love. I think he is lost in that world, and we’re going to see where it comes out, but he has a lot to unpack.”
