Why is Christopher Meloni leaving Law and Order SVU?

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.

Why did Cragen leave Law and Order?

It's always hard to really know the reasons behind the cast changes on Law and Order series.

The last episode for Det. Ed Green (Season 18, #14, "Burn Card" originally aired April 23, 2008) has Det. Green killing someone from his past in a supposedly 'justified' killing. An investigation ensues, he turns in his badge and walks away, not quite completely disgraced; unlike some previous character that were killed off.

Was it the producers intention that he might reappear at some point? Was the move at the request of actor, Jesse L. Martin? He followed his Law and Order appearances with a number of roles and has a major motion picture preparing for release in 2011, "Sexual Healing", staring as the late Motown legend, Marvin Gaye.
