Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU. The script handled the situation by saying that Stabler had quit. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there. That's a good sign because they didn't kill him off. It's possible that, if he can negotiate a contract for guest appearances we may see him on the show again.

No, not too likely; but never say never. Eliot (Christopher Meloni) was a very popular character on the series and if Wolf Productions can negotiate a contract with Mr. Meloni, we could see him again, even if for a guest appearance.
Actor Christopher Meloni was born in 1961; he will be 50 years old in 2011; Elliot Stabler would be around the same age as the actor. On SVU, Elliot and his wife Kathy have five children; Christopher Meloni and his wife Sherman Williams have two, a daughter and a son.

No, his eagle globe and anchor tattoo is fake, and used for his character in SVU
Mariska Hargitay's best friend is Christopher Meloni. They have been the 2 lead detectives on Law and Order SVU for over 12 years. She often says that she loves him and that they are like a married couple. Hargitay plays Detective Olivia Benson and Meloni portrays Detective Elliot Stabler. Olivia will be on the 13th season on Law and Order SVU but Elliot has decided him time is up at SVU and is leaving. :(

No, they are both married to others and have kids.

That is not too likely. Christopher Meloni has been very busy since he left SVU. In 2013, he made one pilot for a TV series and acted in seven movies. His schedule seems a bit too tight for even a guest appearance.
No, both actors, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, have their own lives and their own families; they're coworkers. The characters, Olivia and Elliot, have their own lives and are just coworkers, although they do care about each others well being, just like many real life coworkers who have worked together for many years.

No, the plot didn't kill off Elliot, they had him quit the department. Actor Chris Meloni could not come to an agreement on his contract so he had to be written out of the story. Perhaps they are hoping to have him back some time in the future, even for just an appearance or two.
