The Law & Order Cameo That Had Fans Buzzing During The Season 21 Premiere

Carey Lowell, who played Assistant District Attorney Jamie Ross in "Law & Order" and its spin-off "Law & Order: Trial by Jury," shocked fans when she reprised her role in the 2022 revival. In the first episode, she meets with Nolan Price, who questions her for a trial involving a sexual predator named Henry King. Ross was involved with a previous case against the criminal, but she isn't willing to answer any of his questions.

It remains to be seen if Ross will have a bigger part to play in Season 21, but "Law & Order" fans were delighted to see her back, even if it only amounted to a cameo appearance. "She killed it! Still risking her career for her 'bleeding heart' ideals," wrote Twitter user @RobotHeather. This sentiment was echoed by @MMcDougal_80, who revealed that her "jaw dropped" when she showed up before describing the cameo as "comfort food for the soul."

However, some viewers wanted more from the character's return. "I loved seeing her back but I was a little disappointed we didn't get a scene with her and Jack," noted @Justicerocks11.
