Rollins remained a part of SVU despite the departure of Toys as a main cast member
Her story continued
Gidish made her last appearance as a Law & Order series regular during season 24. The reason for her exit, according to reports and sources, was a desire to shake up the long-running series and keep it fresh. However, amid dissatisfaction from viewers, along with lead star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay, Giddish was brought back as a guest star in the season 24 finale. She also made two appearances in season 25.
The executive producers declined to mention how many episodes Yiddish will appear in season 26. But they tease it will be substantial, saying:[It’s] A bouquet of them – and do not describe the size of the bouquet yet.”
Rollins’ evolution continued as a guest character. She finds herself bored with the job of being a professor and not quite ready to let go of her old life. She even helps Hargitay’s Oliva Benson with a case and stays until the question mark is resolved. Part of Yiddish’s continued involvement may be related to Hargitay’s public push to bring her back.
