‘Law & Order: SVU’: Peter Scanavino Teases How’s Rollins Helping Carisi After His Trauma

Law & Order: SVU isn’t just moving on from the traumatic experience ADA Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino) went through in the midseason finale. In fact, when the NBC drama returns on January 16, he’s still dealing with what happened when he was a hostage in a bodega.

In “First Light,” an abhorrent web of lies and betrayal is uncovered when a woman is confronted with video of a night she can’t remember. Plus, Carisi struggles to move on from his ordeal when the suspect changes his plea. Below, Scanavino previews SVU‘s return and how Rollins (Kelli Giddish) is approaching Carisi, talks about working with Law & Order‘s Tony Goldwyn, and teases his Organized Crime guest spot.
