0:00On April 29th, fans have been waiting for ever for that Benson and Stabler kiss on Lawn Order Special Victims Unit, and it almost happened in season 24's Blood Out episode. Mariska Hargote and Christopher Maloney actually filmed the smooch a couple different ways during their crossover with his organized crime spin-off. But franchise boss Dick Wolf shut it down at the last second, picking the near-kiss T's instead. Hargote spilled the details on the Hollywood Reporter's awards chatter podcast and Napa Valley Stream Fest. She said they felt the moment was earned after all the build-up, showing the real complexity in their bond. Maloney backed that up, stressing they always played honest, not just for fan being. Even iced tea from the SBU cast was shocked they still haven't hooked up. During a recent entertainment weekly shoot, he asked Hargote straight up if it happened yet, and she joked about almost kisses from way back in, season 4. Fans call their tension bensler, and it's still driving everyone crazy. Now Maloney's moving on to his new Hulu football drama, the land after organized crime, got canceled after five seasons.
