"Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU is to air an episode inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey. The long-running crime drama&amp;#039;s October 10 instalment will pay homage to E L James&amp;#039;s popular erotic novel, showrunner Warren Leight confirmed to Entertainment Weekly.   &amp;quot;That episode deals with the author of a book called 25 Acts, which is a woman&amp;#039;s journey through the world of domination and submission,&amp;quot; he confirmed. &amp;quot;So we&amp;#039;re keeping time, we hear.&amp;quot; Leight also discussed the future of SVU, which began on NBC in 1999 and is now in its 14th season. &amp;quot;The idea is not to run on fumes and make sure everyone who&amp;#039;s here wants to be here and wants to keep it alive,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;There is no end to the number of topics in the news that make for interesting episodes for us and interesting issues to explore. Raising awareness about certain issues is part of what makes the show valuable. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think we ever want to sensationalize rape or the victimization of people. What we want to do is get people aware of issues in our society and get people thinking and talking about them, and shed light on the dark corners of this world.&amp;quot; The exec suggested that some critics didn&amp;#039;t expect the show to last beyond its 13th run, following the departure of original star Christopher Meloni (Det. Elliot Stabler). &amp;quot;I think most people assumed we wouldn&amp;#039;t make it through last year,&amp;quot; Leight acknowledged. &amp;quot;It was nice to get a little attention [and] show that the show had a reason to exist.&amp;quot; Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c in the US. The show returns to the UK on Sunday, October 14 at 10pm on the Universal Channel. &amp;gt; Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU Diane Neal Q&amp;amp;A: &amp;#039;The show gives me nightmares&amp;#039; Watch Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU star Danny Pino discuss the new season with Digital Spy below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
