‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ is planning to air an episode this fall that will be inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger fathering a child with a member of his household staff, TVLine is reporting. The former California governor will be portrayed by Andrew Raines in the episode. The character is being described as a charming, seductive philanthropist in his 50s who is a member of one of New York’s royal families.
The character’s wife, Kathleen, will represent Maria Shriver, and is being described as charismatic and protective of her family. But unlike her husband, she’s not afraid to play dirty when she or her family is attacked. The trait will be seen when she finds out her husband had an affair with someone in their inner circle, and the relationship produced a child.
It hasn’t yet been revealed where the sex crime will factor into the story. However, it’s rumored that it will involve the couple’s son.
