‘Law & Order: SVU’: Fans Believe This Character’s Death Is One Of The Show’s Worst Decisions
“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” has a rich tapestry of recurring characters beyond its main detectives and lawyers. One such beloved figure was Sister Peg, portrayed by Charlayne Woodard, who appeared from the third to the twelfth season of the show.
Sister Peg, a compassionate nun, often sheltered prostitutes and victims of sexual assault, frequently collaborating with detectives like Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) from the Manhattan Special Victims Unit.
However, Sister Peg’s fate took a tragic turn in the season 12 finale when she became a victim herself during a shooting at the police station, orchestrated by the daughter of a deceased victim. This episode marked Christopher Meloni’s departure from the series, as Stabler grappled with the aftermath, feeling responsible for not preventing the attack.
Fans of the show have expressed mixed feelings about Sister Peg’s death, critiquing the decision to write off such a beloved character in such a dramatic fashion. On Reddit, discussions have surfaced questioning whether Stabler should have been the one to die instead, highlighting the emotional impact of losing characters who added depth to the series.
“Some fans argue that Sister Peg deserved a more dignified exit if her character had to be written off,” one user lamented. “They could have dedicated an episode to her departure, perhaps involving Benson and Stabler solving her murder and Stabler subsequently deciding to leave. Personally, I wish they hadn’t let her go at all.”
Another fan echoed these sentiments, praising both the character and Woodard’s portrayal, saying, “I loved Sister Peg. The actress brought such depth to the character. Killing her off felt like a heartbreakingly unnecessary move.”
