Jill Hennessy wants to return to Law & Order
PUSSSYKATT
-----------------------------------------------------------
SULTRY Jill Hennessy, who left the crime series "Law & Order" three years ago,
wants to revive her character, the sexy assistant district attorney Claire
Kincaid.
Hennessy's character appeared to be killed in a car accident at the end of the
1996 season, but the actress is now saying that she has an idea to bring back
Kincaid.
"I approached ("Law & Order" producer) Dick Wolf and said, 'How about I was in
a coma?'" Hennessy told reporters while on a film shoot in Montreal.
"Dick seemed to really like the idea and I've heard rumors that they're writing
an episode for me - but they're only rumors," Hennessy said.
"I would love to go back for a guest spot. That would be so much fun."
Despite Hennessy's enthusiasm to return to the hit show, a spokeswoman for Wolf
told The Post that "there are no plans right now for Jill to return at this
point."
Attempts to reach Hennessey were unsuccessful. Her agent at the William Morris
Agency refused to accept phone calls for her.
Meanwhile, Carey Lowell - who also played an assistant district attorney on
"Law & Order" - is returning this season for a guest appearance on one episode,
Wolf's office confirmed.
Lowell - who is pregnant with a baby by Richard Gere - will reprise her role as
Jamie Ross. Instead of playing a district attorney this time, she will be
defending a client in court against her former colleagues.
On the show, Lowell's character left the D.A.'s office to spend more time with
her daughter and to practice law privately.
In real life, Lowell had asked to be let out of her contract a year early
because she wanted to spend more time with her young daughter from a previous
relationship, sources said.

N-o-o-o...aarrggghhh!! I hated her character, puh-leeze don't bring her
back. What will it take to kill her off -- silver bullets and a stake
through her heart?

think that Jill is one of the cutest girls on tv. And this could be a
nice recurring role, and see sorta guilt trip from lenne (because kincaid
was driving lenne home after falling off the wagon when she had her
acciednet.) I say bring her back

Let's all hold hands and walk off the cliff of possibility and believablity. I
think it's always a mistake to bring back former "dead" characters.

Yep, I'm with you. As much as I liked Claire, I would not want to see
L&O stoop to prime time soap opera style plot tricks - which they
would have to do to bring her back. I would hate to see a show that I
have always respected and associated with quality storytelling resort
to something straight out of Melrose Place.
take care,

I really miss the Claire Kincaid character. I don't know if the show has ever
actually referred to her death though. I thought they purposely left if
nebulous. After the season that ended with the car accident, I think
occasionally they've referred to Lenny and the "accident," but I really don't
recall them ever actually referring to her as dead.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

As far as I'm concerned, Law & Order lost all credibility when they hired that
Baywatch bimbo, Angie Harmon, to play the young ADA. She is so awful that I
can't stand to watch the show, anymore.
Angie's a terrible actress. She has to be the girlfriend or mistress of
sombody important. There's no way she got that great job on her acting
capabilities. She has none.
Bring back Jill! Or bring back Richard Brooks. Just bring back an actor or
actress that I can respect.

that Claire was dead. It had something to do with a DUI case, and
McCoy was pressing hard for prosecution of the driver because of what
had happened to Claire.
I liked her, too, but her return would ruin the show for me.

***This has long been a big issue on the Law and Order ng. I stopped reading
it long ago, but you could probably get a pretty good answer if you posted your
question (sorry--can't remember what it's called--maybe alt.tv.lawandorder).
IIRC, the consensus was that it was never said that Claire was dead, but that
was the clear implication.

both the actress who plays the lieutentant appear as the mother of a
murdered child, and Jerry Orbach played a defense attorney before
he became Briscoe.
Of course, both of these people appeared as guest actors before taking on
their regular roles. I don't think it would play out very well to have the
actor
or actress who played an established and regular character to come back
as someone else, though.
As far as whether or not the Claire Kincaid character was ever really said
to be dead, I would say that Jack's response to drunk driving and his total
emotional demeanor pretty well indicate that she died as a result of that
car accident. When Paul Sorvino's character was shot, he didn't die, and
that was made clear to us when he told Chris Noth's character that he
wasn't coming back to his old job but was taking a desk job instead.

Jaqulin(sp?) or Jackie. Jill could come back as her own twin.
Btw, in one ep of L&O, Jackie played Kincaid (non-speaking), while Jill was
doing a H:LotS crossover.

She was great in a small role in "I Shot Andy Warhol." Haven't seen her in
anything else though.

Robinette, played by Richard Brooks, was a wonderful character. I was sorry
when the show felt they needed to add women to the cast and replaced him.
Brooks was a terrific actor. I've never understood why he wasn't snatched up
by another series. I've hardly seen him in anything since he left L&O.
But that awful actress, Angie Harmon, has a steady job on a great show. Talk
about no justice. Don't get me started.

He returned for a guest shot on L&O. He's great on GvsE on cable.

Shambala Green! I miss her so much, why don't they have her on anymore?
What a tenacious public defender she was.
And what ever happened to Leon(?) Gold, every richman's lawyer?
yeah, I liked L&O better before they disposed of Noth and Hennessey and
Florek. Hopefully, this season won't be as sappy as last, and they'll
keep Angie Harmon's screen time to a minimum.

Right! And an excellent guest spot it was, Robinet turned all self

Lorraine Toussaint, who played Shambala, had her own series last season
called "Any Day Now". She starred in it with Annie Potts. I never got
around to seeing it, but I understand that Lorraine played a lawyer in
this series too.
I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that "Any Day Now" wasn't renewed this
season, so maybe we'll see Shambala back on L&O again.
I always thought, though, that her best roles in L&O were as Ben Stone's
adversary -- her intensity rivalled his. There's even been playful
speculation on the L&O newsgroup that maybe something romantic was going
on between Shambala and Ben -- they certainly had chemistry together.

Aha -- I saw a picture of her and Annie Potts in an article about "Any Day
Now", and couldn't figure out why she looked so familiar. Thanks for
clearing that up. According to the story, the show is still on the air. In
fact, it's one of Lifetime's highest rated shows.
