OMG i know she is one of my favorites on the show. I really wish her and Carter would have gotten things worked out. I still can't get over it that they are not together. UGH stupid writers.

But tonights ep looks VERY good!

It was a very interesting episode to say the least...

I did enjoy how it was Abby centric... but I guess it just lacked something.. I dunno.

NBC's current contract for the show already ran through the upcoming 2005-06 season. The new pact will cover the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

last thursday's episode was one of the best ER eps i've watched in a long, long time.

and the neela/gallant makeout scene.... UM... HOT!!

Good to see Pratt liking a new interesting girl.

Solid, solid episode!

ER season 1 and 2 has been released on DVD... but it's been almost a year since season 2 was released. What's the holdup!!

I didn't start watching ER until a couple of weeks ago and I am really enjoying it. I am through the first two seasons minus a few episodes here and there.

Season 3 is being released April 26, 2005. I wish the rest of the series was on DVD, because getting it off P2P would take forever (and they're FS).

I am glad you are enjoying it!

The early seasons were great, imo. The middle seasons... eh, but lately, the past 2 seasons have really been interesting to me.

And I know, I can't wait for April 26th to come... hell, I can't wait until all the seasons are released. It's gonna make me even more broke then I am

Sorry, Kate, but he will be back in 4 episodes.

(03-31) 15:12 PST Los Angeles (AP) --


The doctor is out: Noah Wyle is leaving "ER" as a regular cast member at the end of this season, NBC said Thursday.


Wyle, 33, the only original star who remained with the medical drama through its 11 years, will return for the next two seasons but only in four episodes each.


True love steals away his character, Dr. John Carter, who reunites in the May 12 episode with girlfriend Kem (Thandie Newton), a health administrator he met doing volunteer medical work in Africa.


Carter leaves Chicago's County General Hospital in the May 19 season finale.


"It's very sad for me. Noah and I have a lot of history together,""ER" executive producer John Wells told USA Today. "He's a wonderful actor and a wonderful man, and it's been great to watch him grow up and get married and have a family."


In 2004, Wyle said he intended to leave "ER" when his contract ended this season.


"I've just got other stuff going in my life right now," Wyle told "E! News Live" last September. "I've got a son, I've got family and friends that said goodbye to me 12 years ago and are wondering when I'm coming back, and this little urge to scratch a different kind of itch in my career, and it's just coming to the end of the character's run."


When the series debuted in September 1994, Wyle played the impressionable young resident in a cast that included Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Eriq La Salle, Julianna Margulies and Sherry Stringfield. As they departed, Wyle turned into the show's promotional centerpiece.


Stringfield returned to her role as Dr. Susan Lewis in 2001 after a five-year break.


The drama has been a durable performer for NBC, although it lost its No. 1 ratings status to newcomers including Fox's "American Idol." In head-to-head competition with CBS'"Without a Trace" at at 10 p.m. EST Thursday, it trails in total viewers.


"ER" has been renewed through the 2007-08 season.

yeah that's what I had heard, but this confirms it.

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad. I mean... him coming back will be a "YES!!" type deal or a "can we please move on?" type deal.

I hate Kem and Carter's character has really gone downhill.

David Duchovny came back halfway through a season and it just didn't work, imo. I'm guessing it'll be the same with Noah's character.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I taped this one, haven't really watched ER in two years, but wanted to see Carter leave...used to be a great show...

And from what I can tell, still is

I may be watching again...

tonight is the season finale!!



i need my weekly ER fix....

 

[thirty-two]

Well... Carter is gone.

I wish him and Abby could have talked more before he left.

I was kind of left with an "eh" feeling. This season was not one of the best seasons. I am interested to see how it's going to be without Carter though.

bring on season 12!!!

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Well... Carter is gone.

Sort of...

Isn't he going to be on four episodes each of the next two seasons?

 

[Town Drunk]

He'll be in 4 episodes each season over the next (and presumably last) 2 years.

I agree with ya, Kate. I was dissapointed in the season finale. It lacked something, espicially considering one of the main characters was pretty much departing the show.

 

[thirty-two]

Sort of...

Isn't he going to be on four episodes each of the next two seasons?

Yes.. but he's gone from being a main character. That is foreign territory for ER.

So yes, Carter is gone.

I was thinking the same thing.

Are they still looking for a big-name actor?

ER is way past its prime. NBC needs to put it to rest and then come back in a few years with something fresh and original.
