Two months ago, we told you that Jesse L. Martin would be leaving his role on Law & Order after nine years on the show.  Now it looks like Dick Wolf will be busy with another exit from his L&O family.

TV Guide is reporting that Diane Neal, Law & Order: SVU‘s Casey Novak, will be departing as well.  Neal took over in 2003 when the drama’s last ADA was supposedly killed.  (It was later revealed that Alex Cabot was actually placed in the Witness Protection Program.)

Although it’s unclear if Neal, too, will go down in a blaze of glory, she is expected to be around for this season’s finale.  Casting for her replacement has already begun.
