What the fuck was that? “Is it because I’m a lesbian”? Where the hell did that come from?
Sure, it was pretty cathartic to see Serena Southerlyn getting fired — because diety knows how many years Law & Order fans have wanted to say the same thing to Elisabeth Röhm — but? Lesbian? Haaah??
That was so left field, I can’t even begin to come up with all the utterances of confusion to go with it. If she were going to be a gay character, maybe perhaps some of advocacy would have come through somehow in the last few years?
What the hell.
(Even though Annie Parrise has been cast as Röhm’s replacement, I still think the show has room for a gay male second chair that can stand up to Jack McCoy.)
For her next project, Elisabeth is considering a role as a coatrack on an upcoming episode of Criminal Intent.
