Mariska Hargitay Law And Order: SVU stars Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay have finally ended their months-long contract disagreement with television bosses, after signing two-year deals to remain on the hit show. The couple reportedly jeopardized their return to the show by demanding more money from network bosses. Hargitay and Meloni allegedly asked for a share of the program's profits from the NBC network, in addition to the $350,000 they earned per episode, a rare deal similar to ones TV bosses cut with "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Chris Noth.

Though Wolf wasn’t giving any clues about the future of SVU, Hargitay was optimistic yet unsure about whether she’d be returning to the drama, which has already been picked up for an 11th season. “I hope so!” she said. The actress also shared what the show has meant to her: “What I’m most proud about is that the show has provided a platform,” she said. “It’s like, ‘If it’s normal enough to be on television, then it’s OK to talk about.’...
