I think the actress (Paulina Gerzon), should be remembered at EMMY nomination time., 13 February 2008

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

L & O often has interesting one time characters, but the young girl with William's syndrome in the episode "Savant" really stands out. I know the character is the creation of the writer and director, but the actress (Paulina Gerzon) really brought "Katie" to life. I hope she might be remembered at Emmy nomination time.

I have to say I also like the way the character was presented to the audience. The scenes in the squad-room early in the show, where the character is first introduced, was very well done. I also liked the later scene when Munch has "investigated" William's syndrome, and gives the audience enough information that we can fully appreciate the court room scene near the end.

Well, that's all (or as the character Katie would say: "The end" ).
