Thanks to SpyBarbie at svufans.net This is rather long so I will not post the whole article. Just a few tidbits to whet your appetite. www.411mania.com/movies/columns/105985/411mania-Interviews:-Law-and-Order:-SVU-Executive-Producer-Neal-Baer.htmAl Norton: I know it must be hard for you to stay out of things like contract situations but at what point do prolonged negotiations affect your ability to lay out the new season?Neal Baer: We don't start shooting until July so we've got time. The show isn't arced per se, like on ER were the focus was on a lot more of the characters love lives and such. For us each episode is individual in terms of its plot and drive. Yes, we carry certain elements about the characters personal lives over from episode to episode but it's really about how their lives and their views affect the case. We have time to let the dust settle before we have to role up our sleeves and start writing. Al Norton: Do you think SVU will come to an end when NBC says, "ok, we've had enough" or could you see a time when think, "we've told all our stories."Neal Baer: I don't think we could ever tell all our stories. Every year I think we've told all our stories and then, thanks to our full time researcher, we pull all these stories from around the world and then we say, "wow, the depravity of the human mind is endless and limitless." Unfortunately (laughing). We've got a whole new set of stories. I've already got 8 stories for next year, I'm already talking about actors about guesting on episodes.
