Revision as of 19:56, 24 October 2012
The eighth season of Law & Order was the first with no cast changes prior or during the season. This would not last long however, as Carey Lowell would leave the show at the end of the season to spend more time with her daughter. Her character of Jamie Ross would announce her departure from the district attorney's office for basically the same reason. Jamie Ross would return for two guest appearances in subsequent seasons as a defense attorney, and would appear in Law & Order: Trial by Jury as a judge.
The eighth season featured several story arcs that spanned multiple episodes, with Robert Vaughn playing DA Adam Schiff's old friend and eventual enemy Carl Anderton three times, and Cliff Gorman playing ambition judge and DA candidate Gary Feldman three times as well. Another arc focused on Det. Briscoe's daughter Cathy getting arrested on drug charges and eventually found murdered. On a strange note, the 23rd episode, "Tabloid" was cowritten by Alec Baldwin, the only writing credit to Baldwin's name. The eighth season also saw the show's second two-part crossover with sister show Homicide: Life on the Street, with the first part airing on Law & Order and the conclusion two nights later on Homicide.
