Law & Order showed why Dick Wolf shows have trouble with character exits

The exit of Camryn Manheim from Law & Order shows once more how the Dick Wolf shows have trouble writing off characters properly!
Caution: This article contains Spoilers for the Law & Order Season 24 premiere.
Fans of Law & Order are long used to turnover with the question of how characters can be written off. So they were curious as to how the season premiere for the show would handle the exit of Kate Dixon. Camryn Manehim’s character had been part of the show since its relaunch in 2022 and her leaving could have been something notable.
The episode opened with Shaw and Riley investigating the murder of a prosecutor. They were surprised by the arrival of Lieutenant Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney), who told them she was their new boss. When they asked about Dixon, she simply replied, “I don’t know.”
This dynamic was odd as the detectives went through the case.
