What's with Elliott and Olivia?

My favorite show of the Law & Order franchise is SVU. This season it has me scratching my head. I know that Mariska Hargitay, who plays Det. Olivia Benson, needed time off to have a baby. To explain what happened to her character, Olivia was sent deep undercover. Just before she disappeared for maternity leave, she was injured and called out Elliott's name. In her absence, Elliott had a relationship of sorts with her replacement, Dani. Now Olivia is back in the station house, and I was hoping to see her rekindle her chemistry with Elliott.

But they hardly have any scenes together! I miss them as partners. I want to see them get romantically involved. Even if the writers have decided that after Moonlighting and Cheers, that's not a good idea, I still want to see them work cases together.

So if any of my lurkers work for NBC or Dick Wolf, please pass my opinion along. Thank you.
