21 years later after her first appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Cady McClain returns for another guest spot. McClain will play the role of Patty, who is the wife of Captain Pete Ryan (Mark Borkowski) in the episode “Dutch Tears” which airs on February 16th.
McClain tells Give Me My Remote, “I play Patty, the wife of a corrections officer [Captain Pete Ryan], who’s played by Mark Borkowski. Fin and Bruno come to our house. And we think that they’re seeking my husband’s help. Then we find out they’re actually interrogating him. I’m excited for him—it really centers on an arrest that his character, Fin, made 23 years ago. Fin ends up taking the lead [in] helping a man named Dutch [played by MAYANS M.C. star Richard Cabral] find the man who raped him in prison. So it’s an interesting story. I’m excited to see how it all comes out.”
McClain previously played Alice McCain in a 2004 episode. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often abbreviated to Law & Order: SVU or just SVU) is an American crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf’s own production company, Wolf Entertainment, for NBC. The first spin-off of Law & Order, it starred Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler until Meloni left the series in 2011 after 12 seasons, and Mariska Hargitay as Detective (ultimately promoted to Captain) Olivia Benson, now the commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit after originally having been Stabler’s partner in a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department. Meloni reprised his role as Stabler in 2021 in the spin-off series Law & Order: Organized Crime. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit follows the style of the original Law & Order in that some episodes are loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention.
The show premiered on September 20, 1999. After the premiere of its 21st season in September 2019, the series became TV’s longest-running primetime U.S. live-action series in the history of television.
Emmy award-winning actress McClain currently recurs on Days of Our Lives as Jennifer Horton Deveraux.
