'Huge Mistake'
I think SVU is making a huge mistake in letting Demore Barnes and Jamie Gray Hyder go.

"Really upset about this," tweeted one fan after learning the news. "Two wonderful characters but even better, they are amazing humans. [Demore Barnes] is GOLD. I dunno, these departures just hit differently. You both will be missed."

"The squad is short-staffed as it is and now Kat is leaving? She didn't even get the chance to get promoted to detective and they just got here," wrote another fan. "I certainly didn't see it coming for these two, they seemed like they were having fun on and off camera. Such a shame."

"Shame," one viewer declared the news. "Kat was the much-needed bi representation we needed, a good cop who had the same verve as baby Benson. Garland was a good Chief who had the squad's back. I'll miss them both."
