During the events of the “Gimme Shelter” crossover, Law & Order fans feared the worst for Amanda Rollins when she was shot and it was immediately questioned if she would survive. They were also not afraid to express their anger at this moment, using social media to express their frustration. “PLEASE LET AMANDA LIVE,” wrote @lexiesdaisy on twitter with @Sydvaughnfan2 also go into panic mode with their tweet: “DONT LET ROLLINS DIE!!!” @TNLM1821 added: “Of everything that happened to Rollins, this was the LAST THING I wanted to happen!!! I know Karisi will be upset.”
Luckily, she was rushed to the hospital to get her injuries treated as soon as possible, but it’s easy to see why many Law & Order fans were worried about the character. At the end of August 2022 Term reported that after 12 seasons with the role, Kelly Giddish is leaving Amanda Rollins behind. “I have been so fortunate to be part of the Law & Order family for the past 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She has grown and changed, and so have I,” Giddish said. . With that in mind, it’s understandable that fans feared Rollins would be killed off during the Season 24 premiere of Law & Order: SVU.
Time will tell how many more Amanda Rollins we’ll see before Kelly Giddish leaves the world of Law & Order for good, but at least the character hasn’t been killed off, which is clearly infuriating.
