Perhaps you've been wondering where the Law & Order franchise finds that endless stream of gorgeous female assistant district attorneys, most of whom look as if they're barely old enough to have finished law school. Well, now we have an answer: Teen soaps! Michaela McManus, recently seen romancing Chad Michael Murray on One Tree Hill, will carry on for previous model-perfect attorneys Diane Neal and Stephanie March on Law & Order: SVU.
To be fair, McManus played a book editor on One Tree's post-high-school incarnation, and as far as we know she's a fine actress. But eventually, someone's got to notice what's been going on in the New York City DA's office, and Jack McCoy will finally have some 'splainin' to do.
