An Oscar-nominated actress will return to "Law & Order: SVU" this season — but don't get nervous, it's not Sharon Stone.
It's Christine Lahti, reappearing as overbearing ADA Sonya Paxton sent by the DA's office to ride herd on the SVU team.
A nasty alcoholic, she butted heads with Stabler (Chris Meloni) and was eventually forced to enter rehab. Paxton reappeared in a later episode only to warn Alexandra Cabot (Stephanie March) not to trust the cops.
She'll return in this season's ninth episode on a case and is supposedly all cleaned up. "She has a huge scene where she faces off with Stabler," "SVU's" executive producer Neal Baer tells TV Guide Magazine exclusively.
