She’s won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but Mariska Hargitay will not be returning for the rest of season 10, according to an insider. Mariska, the star of the show, underwent surgery last week to help her recover from a collapsed lung she suffered in January. And although she had been back on set after the initial incident, this most recent health scare will keep her from returning. “They have written her out of the rest of the season,” the insider tells In Touch. Requests for comment were not immediately answered.

The actress recently blogged, “Presently, I am focused on resting and getting stronger.” And it seems that she’s following her own New Year’s resolution about taking time to heal. After the January incident, she blogged: “Healing and rest is as important a pursuit as anything else in life. I needed to learn to dive headfirst into healing, to get really good at resting — and that doing nothing can be a profound endeavor.”
