Spotlight/Shoutout: Stephanie March and Diane Neal

Stephanie March


Diane Neal



Once again on the s/s cyber stage there is a tie!

If you’ve followed the blog, you’ll know that I love Law and Order: SVU.

And recently, a certain anonymous person introduced me to Tvshack.net, a place where I can watch every episode of Law and Order: Special Vicitms Unit ever. But of course, I'm still trying to track down the Russian version of the show

No joke, it’s hard to find online because of rights and legalities and all that jazzy pants stuff.

Speaking of Legalities the s/s is shared between Stephanie March and Daine Neal, both famous for playing the lead female ADA’s on the show.

There has been much debate over the past few years as to which ADA is better….Diane Neal with her Laura Prepon changing hair or Stephanie March and her secret identity in the witness protection program (Her name was Emily (If that’s incorrect shoot me.)). Both of these actors added so much to the show, respect.

Anyway, I watched the pilot of SVU from 1999, and it is still just as good as it is today. It really pushed the envelope with a lot of in-your-face action. This was in a day before shows like the “The Shield” on FX, which blew things out of the water. SVU was there first.

Sadly neither Neal or March were in the pilot.

So Stephanie Marche or Diane Neal?, the two sassy ADA’s on the show really made it interesting. When I’m watching SVU, and I see either one of their names in the credits I just can’t decide which one is better. However, it is widely acclaimed that they are both better than Michaela McManus as ADA Kim Greylek, their supposed replacement…haha.
But in all fairness she hasn’t been given a fair chance?

QATFYG: Do you have a favorite lawyer on TV? Also, anyone know where I can find the Law and Order: SVU Russian version?

PS: The picture I posted of Diane Neal (the one on the bottom) looks so dangerous. She looks like a flasher outside of a Clay Aiken performance of Spamalot!

    @mmorbo It easily could be. After reading your comment, I googled it, but I couldn't find where it was.

    in the meantime, here are some great photos of Diane Neal from fanpix.

  5. totally with you on this one. i cant decide either, but i find myself drifting towards Neal, in general. The fact that she has carried on after SVU to do roles on other shows as popular as NCIS only proves the real extent of her talent. Haven't seen that same kind of dedication in Stephanie March, but in all honesty, I don't know much about her career...but sheesh, add Diane's smoky voice to the mix and Im in love.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
