In an interview with E! Online, Kelli Giddish talked about what fans can expect from Rollins' character in season 17 of Law & Order: SVU.

Showrunner Teases New Romance For Olivia Benson

First off, she revealed that her real life pregnancy will be written into the show and that will make things very interesting. Rollins will be the first character to be pregnant on the show and Giddish recalled her first time playing pregnant on television was in the X Files.

"I looked up when I first got pregnant what other TV shows did and...I guess on The X-Files, she went away. She got abducted by aliens," Giddish said. "So I was like, 'That can't happen on SVU. Can't pitch that idea.'"

What's going to make things exciting is figuring out who the father of the child is on the show. Giddish revealed this as being something of a challenge and that Danny Pino is most likely not the the father.

"Well, now she's got another challenge. This one is more natural, or better, I guess, than the gambling addiction," she said. "What's going to be really fun is getting to see who the father is-I do know. I got to pick...I kind of did, yeah. I was like, it can't be Danny [Pino], that would mean he would have three baby mamas. He's got two kids from two different mamas!"

Season 17 of Law & Order: SVU will premiere on Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. (ET).
