After Kelli Giddish's final episode on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," co-star Mariska Hargitay took to Instagram to express her love for their friendship and Kelli's performances. Kelli's character, Detective Amanda Rollins, handed in her badge during the season 24 winter finale and married former partner-turned-Assistant District Attorney Dominick "Sonny" Carisi. Kelli expressed gratitude to her fans and cast mates through an Instagram post. After 12 seasons with the series, her departure was announced in August.
