Regulation & Order: SVU has been airing for 26 seasons and counting, with Season 27 on the way in which within the not-too-distant way forward for the 2025 TV schedule. The longevity of the NBC sequence has meant that loads of future movie and tv stars appeared as company early on, with some even showing within the Regulation & Order franchise as a number of completely different characters. Julie Bowen, now finest identified for her eleven seasons as Claire Dunphy on ABC’s Trendy Household, appeared on an episode that aired again in 2008, however Regulation & Order’s social media accounts have been celebrating her currently. Seeing that, I’ve come to a conclusion: Bowen deserves extra dramatic roles.
The franchise’s X account posted Julie Bowen’s most emotional second from the Season 10 premiere, known as “Trials” and obtainable streaming now with a Peacock subscription and Hulu subscription. I received’t go too deeply into particulars right here in case you need to take a look at the 2008 episode for your self, however Bowen’s character confronts her husband, performed by the late Luke Perry. The caption on the X publish was “Julie Bowen provides a chilling and unforgettable efficiency,” with the Instagram account posting the identical. Check out the clip beneath from the top of the episode:

Julie Bowen is just one of a shocking variety of Trendy Household stars who appeared on Regulation & Order: SVU, together with two of her on-screen youngsters. In a enjoyable twist (if something concerning the storyline of an SVU episode will be described as enjoyable), “Trials” aired precisely one yr to the date earlier than the sequence premiere of Trendy Household on ABC. (The sitcom can also be obtainable streaming on Peacock and Hulu.) She debuted in SVU as Gwen Silbert on September 23, 2008, and kicked off what could be a future as Claire Dunphy on Trendy Household on September 23, 2009.
Along with Luke Perry and Julie Bowen, the Season 10 premiere of essentially the most profitable Regulation & Order spinoff featured the longer term The Conners star Sara Gilbert. Nonetheless, on account of all of these years on Trendy Household adopted by initiatives like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hysteria, and most just lately, Completely satisfied Gilmore 2, Bowen is extra related to laughs than tears. From 2008 by means of 2025, I’m assured that most individuals consider comedy somewhat than drama from her physique of labor.
There’s nothing improper with that, and he or she received a pair of Emmys within the Excellent Supporting Actress in a Comedy Collection for her work as Claire Dunphy, regardless of sure retailers making an attempt to pit her towards costar Sofia Vergara. I additionally don’t need to give the impression that Julie Bowen hasn’t dabbled in drama since 2008, however I feel it could be fascinating to see her working extra jobs within the extra severe style. If she might do it pre-Trendy Household on SVU, absolutely she will do it in 2025 and past!
Whether or not or not Bowen begins engaged on extra dramas shifting ahead, I’d agree with the Regulation & Order social media accounts in describing her SVU efficiency as “chilling and unforgettable.” I distinctly recall seeing her episode for the primary time throughout a cable TV marathon of SVU episodes a few years in the past, and I might recall the plot that introduced her, Luke Perry, and Sara Gilbert all to the small display screen in the identical episode.
