Sorry for all those people who know alot more about Law and Order than I do...I
am a recent fanatic...therefore I have only seen the past eps completely for
the past three years..but I am catching up on cable

I just saw this ep today where McCoy put away this guy for murdering young
black males..and then the real killer was found five years later, and the
mistake was made because of this attorney McCoy used to work with like eight
years earlier. She and McCoy slept together, and in one confrontation between
Kincaid and her, the woman alluded that McCoy and Kincaid have slept together.
Her reaction was wierd...it kinda looked like she didn't exactly say no...

I am rambling, so please if anyone knows the answer...

In a word: Yes. Actually, I heard a funny story about Sam Waterston and Jill
Hennessy - one of them assumed that their characters were, indeed, intimate while
the other assumed they weren't. Only trouble is, I've heard it both ways:
Waterston thought yes, Hennessy thought no, or Waterston thought no, and Hennessy
thought yes. The producers finally had to break it to the "no" person: the answer
was yes.

It's Waterston yes, Hennesy no.

Actually, it is the other way around. The following post is from
A&E's Discussion site from a year or so ago. Rene Balcer answered
questions from posters: needless to say that the Jack and Claire
thing came up.

No, the "affair" was scripted. The writers decided it might be fun to
play it -- except nobody bothered to tell Sam. Jill figured out they
were having an affair and played to that. Sam was in the dark and
thought the references to it were just titillation -- he was playing
it like there was no affair. Until halfway through the season when we
finally told him that yes, the two of you are supposed to be having an
affair.

Well a whole lot of people figured it out. :-)

But I have also seen it written the other way too. It seems that they can't
quite get their stories straight on who knew what, when.

Did they? Without a doubt! You're in for a treat. If you haven't found it
already, log on to "Lust in the DA's Office: Evidence of an Affair." Thank
goodness for A&E's reruns and TNT. For fanatics, the book
Law & Order" by Kevin Courrier & Susan Green is a must read.

I remember reading interviews where JH said that she was told the
characters were having an affair. The two are not mutually exclusive: JH
may have been told at one point, while RB told SW later. Or JH's concept
of sexual tension may have been a strong enough portrayal to convince RB
she thought there was a affair between the characters, he told SW to run
with it, and then someone clued in JH that it was now officially beyond
just sexual tension.

Whatever the case, the writing has so little to do with the characters
private lives that I doubt anyone could decide if there was an affair or
not just from the scripts, esp. in season 5. Decisions in choice of
locations ("date" restaurants vs. diners), costume (in a bar of coffee
shop in non work clothes), and directing and acting styles have as much or
more to do with the effectiveness of the tease as the writing.

"Single" can either mean not dating anyone steadily, or not married. In
the character description, the "not married" definition makes more sense
since all the other characters are described as married, divorced, etc.,
rather than as to whether or not they are seeing anyone.

Keep in mind that in the frist post-Claire season, Jamie was fixing up
McCoy, and the issue of Claire came up there. Would hardly be relevant if
they were just pals.

Jack and Claire were involved but, neither was totally committed to the
relationship i.e., the conversation between Claire and the police captain
the night Claire died.

I'll say this, I'm glad she's back on Crossing Jordan. She just has that
something on the screen.
