Career History

*Dr. Olivet was listed as a psychologist in several episodes,

*Dr. Olivet appeared pregnant (McCormick was) in L&O
Episode 207, "Killerz"
(9/29/99) but no mention was made of the pregnancy or that the doc was
in a relationship.
-
While investigating the questionable practices of a gynecologist
(as a patient had related to her), Olivet was raped in L&O Episode
50, "Helpless"
(11/4/92). The rape was referred to in L&O Episode 53, "Point
of View" (11/25/93), when it is pointed out to her on the stand by
EADA Ben Stone how having been raped now impairs her judgment when it comes
to evaluating a woman claiming a near-rape.
Personal History
None established in canon. However, McCormick said in
the
Unofficial Companion, "If there was going to be a liaison, it
would be with Ben
Stone, not Logan. Michael [Moriarty], I thought he was fabulous, one
of the best things on the show. Olivet and Stone had a very interesting
thing going on .... There was definitely some sexual tension between those
two. He left the show right when it might have started going in that direction."

Emil Skoda in Episode 159, "Denial"

Errata
-
In Episode 204, "Refuge
(Part One)" (5/26/99), Dr. Skoda introduces Dr. Olivet to EADA Jack
McCoy as if they've never met before. (Perhaps Olivet and McCoy were
just being polite.)
