Ice-T Confusing Message Left Fans Worrying He's Leaving SVU

The video featured the actor sitting in a car as cameras worked around him, but it was the caption that had followers starting to get concerned.

Ice-T wrote alongside the video: "SVU behind the scenes from Friday night. Filming my character FIN's episode… #SVUSeason24"

Fans, perhaps reading the note too quickly, started to wonder if he's leaving the show and currently filming his last episode. One upset social media user wrote: "What?!?!?! Noooooooo!" Another asked: "You leaving SVU? If so, what a run."

But SVU fans don't seem to have anything to worry about, as many helpful people pointed out to the concerned parties that Ice-T's character simply has the nickname of Fin. They explained that, in this circumstance, the actor didn't seem to be using the term fin to note his final episode on the show was in the works, but rather that he was working on a centric episode.

Another said: "He's NOT leaving the show. The 'Fin' episode he's referring to is an episode focusing on his character, Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola."

Ice-T shared as much himself in an earlier social media post. A few days before posting his behind-the-scenes video, the star had revealed: "SVU starts back filming for 2023… We're doing an ALL Fin episode starting tomorrow. Get ready.. The script is crazy."

He also recently shared in a recent interview that he has no plans to depart the long-running procedural. At least, as long as star Mariska Hargitay ( Captain Olivia Benson) continues on with it, as well.

Ice-T's portrayal of Odafin Tutuola has been a beloved part of the show since he joined the cast in 2000, and it's clear that fans can't imagine Law and Order: SVU without him. But thankfully, it looks like they won't have to, as the actor has made it clear that he has no plans to depart the series anytime soon. So, all you fans of Ice-T and Detective Tutuola can relax and continue to enjoy one of the most iconic performances on TV.
