MARISKA HARGITAY - HARGITAY WILL BE BACK FOR LAST FOUR EPISODES OF SVU

HARGITAY WILL BE BACK FOR LAST FOUR EPISODES OF SVU

MARISKA HARGITAY's bosses have responded quickly to reports the actress' collapsed lung will keep her out of the current season of cop series LAW & ORDER: SVU, insisting she will be back.
Tabloid reports suggested Hargitay's health crisis will keep her off the set of the hit show, with sources claiming producers "have written her out of the rest of the season".
But SVU boss Neal Baer insists the report is "absolutely not true".
He says, "She will be back shortly. I talk to her all the time. She's doing great.
"She is slated to come back, she's feeling really well and she will definitely be back... for the last four episodes... She's only out of one episode."
And Hargitay's publicist tells Eonline.com, "Mariska is recovering well and is returning to the show this season."
The actress underwent surgery last week (ends13Mar09) to correct complications arising from a collapsed lung she suffered in January (09).
