Fake Lawyers

Sad but true: One of the greatest Assistant District Attorneys in the history of the Law & Order franchise, Diane Neal as Casey Novak, has left the show. It was announced today that One Tree Hill alum Michaela McManus will be replacing her. One Tree Hill abstainers that we are, we can't attest to McManus' merits; but they better be plentiful, because she's got some big sensible heels to fill.
After the jump, every single ADA from Law & Order's history. Who's your favorite?
Richard Brooks as Paul Robinette

Jill Hennessy as Claire Kincaid

Carey Lowell as Jamie Ross

Angie Harmon as Abbie Carmichael

Elisabeth Röhm as Serena Southerlyn

Angie Harmon.
Jill Hennessy's voice drives me nuts. And Elizbeth Rohm is boring.
Those are the only three I ever watched, so there.
you forgot lilith form the short lived Trial by Jury!!!!!
def carey Lowell.
you're a "law & order" fan, cord?!?
and here i didn't think that i could love mollygood anymore…
oh, and my vote goes for claire, all the way. you know she has jack mccoy's vote, too. i was also a really big fan of serena.
casey will definitely be missed.
Casey has definetly grown on me, so the girl better be good!! A stinker stands out like a sore thumb in that cast!!
I liked the SVU ADA who left to go into the witness program - before casey - that storyline was good and she was tough.
Will Casey's storyline get wrapped up - the mental health boyfriend issues?
jamie ross.
Alana de la Garza is a godess. That women makes me walk funny.
For schwing factor … Abbie Carmichael. Love the voice.
But overall, I don't think anyone has topped Claire Kincaid.
And yeah, I'm gonna miss Casey. I was so disappointed to see her written out of the series. Good luck, Diane Neal!
I'm gonna go with Cabot, although I am Novak fan. She was a hard ass and randomly threw out that she was a lesbian one episode. Other deciding factor: I think Diane Neal is married to Bobby Flay in real life… Points off for that.
Angie Harmon. Hands down. Girl crush. (Although she's frightfully skinny now…)
Nah, FUITNN, Diane Neal isn't married to Bobby Flay. Stephanie March is.
Comparing SVU with just plain ol' L&O is like comparing "I Know Who Killed Me" with "Mean Girls": SVU sucks!
Torn between Angie Harmon and Carey Lowell.
does no one care that ms. elizabeth olivet is the hottest and coolest character on the show? let's here it for the shrink!
Carey Lowell, Plus she's married to Richard Gere in real life. How lucky is she?
stephanie march played 'gretchen thomas, the brilliant plastics engineer slash lesbian' on 30 rock. therefore, she as a person must rule. and #2 whatever her name was, was a bond girl. sexxxy.
Noooooo, I hate L&O I love Det. Eliot Stabler. I want to oil his bald head and, never mind.
Sorry, balding.
Erm, isn't that actually the delightful Michael Moriarty?
He was the whole reason for watching the show when it first debuted..up until his falling out with Dick Wolf, he gave it both its humanity and its gravitas.
But that's just me. ;)
Wait, wait, wait, I meant as Ben Stone.
Stone was the best ADA ever on "Law and Order."
Cait- my late dad was good friends with Moriarty in college…nice guy but total drunk. But aren't we all in our early 20s???
You ok there JuJu? You seem to have caught a touch of the vapors.
Good to see I'm not the only one who averages one or two episodes of this show– a day. Yeah, Cord, I liked Neal too. This new girl looks very young, like she belongs in a Noxema add.
Keebler - quick! Fetch Juju her smelling salts from the veranda!
Is it really luck to end up with Gere?
ohhh angie how i miss you. thank goodness for that murder club… she's no abbie still a great show
Well I'm a one tree hill fan and just so you know, this news just ruined the season finale cliffhanger! So Lucas doesn't call Lindsay. Ugh, I'm gonna go jump off my building.
I will never forget my very favorite L&O CI ADA,
Ron Carver. (Courtney B. Vance)
He quit the show to spend more time with me. He reads to me often with his very smooth, sexy voice.
I wish.
Wait, Cabot wasn't the one who dropped the lesbian bomb, was she? I know when Serena (Elizabeth Rohm) got canned she asked if it was because she was gay, which struck me as being completely random, because I don't remember any other reference to her private life while she was on the series.
Was Borgia the one who was murdered? That is one of the few episodes of L&O that I haven't seen. Sad, I know, but I watch all three different series.
Stephanie March
Angie Harmon
I'm fine ater mymia gulpa. I just find SVU has more detectives you could have sexy time with as opposed to Law and Order. But I respect both shows ability to use the ripped from the headlines episodes. I love those.
SVU is the better show for one reason and one reason only: Ice-T. Plus Coco guest starred in an episode.
If only I wasn't so incredibly lazy, and gas prices weren't so high, I could certainly stalk that Courtney B. Vance for a couple of weeks. (short attention span)
Paul Robinette! For sure. Jill Henessy is a closer 2nd.
Elisabeth Rohm, Carey Lowell and Jill Hennessy (and her twin for one episode) are my faves. Alana is pretty good as Connie. Couldn't stand Harmon, was glas Parisse was murdered off and miss March on SVU. I really didn't like Dianne Neal, so I am open to a new ADA there.
Cord, what's going on with you? Law and Order ADAs are what's been on your mind? Quit it and get back to your normal brilliance. God. That being said, I liked Diane Neal and now I'm sad.
ANGIE 4 EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carey Lowell and Jill Hennessy are close seconds. And you've got to love Richard Brooks. Not that I'm a L&O addict, but the guy has appeared on the show as 3 different characters at different times. Talent, all the way. But then again, that's why I like the show. It's full of ACTORS….
(By the way, I'm still reeling from it but how much of a random parting shot was Serena's being a lesbian?)
OK, I'll be truthful. I want Diane Neal back. I am not looking forward to SVU season 10 if she's gonna be our new ADA! I am an SVU addict and I'm proud to say it. From day one, I have followed it and know a good ADA when I see one. If Diane Neal can't come back then have either Stephanie March or Angie Harmon come back! I don't want Michaela McManus to be our ADA! She's gonna kill it. We are gonna get bad ratings this season. Besides, she looks way to young to be a good ADA let alone in SVU. I HOPE TO GOD, she's only gonna be in 1 season!
