Oh yes when Carter and Lucy were stabbed and they were just looking at each other, that's my DH's favourite episode because it was just so moving, and the start of dark days for Carter.

I actually liked Abi and was pleased that it all worked out for her and Luka eventually.

The other nurse was fab too (can;t think of her name now but she was also in Scooby Doo!)

Didn;t like Kimmy though, she was mean to Carter!

And Ray - how could I forget him?!

Need an ER fix now!

Welcome to the encyclopaedia of all random knowledge!Blush

Who Knows- You mean Michael Gallant

NeedaNewname- Sam?? (Linda Cardellini?)

BuzzLiteBeer · 05/03/2011 19:56

I'd rather have Greene than Ross, but I'd rather have Carter than either of them. Or indeed any other man in the entire universe.

Needanewname · 05/03/2011 20:04

Yes Sam - thank you. Thought she was fab, liked her son originally but didn;t like the actor who replased him

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 05/03/2011 20:08

Gallant, yes, he was too nice for Neela. I liked Sam too and her relationship with her son. Greg Pratt was great too, always helping underdogs out, very sad when he died.

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 20:10

I remember such random crap. It's embarrassing.
I must admit to loving the episode where Carol realised she loved/needed Doug as much as he did her.
Was soo nice to see them together again.

FoxyRevenger · 05/03/2011 20:13

Oh Carter was one of my first crushes.

My husband looks like Carter.

'Nuff said. Grin

Pratt OMG - I cried buckets, that was not supposed to happen and he knew it too! Think I cried more than with Dr Green cos we all knew that was coming.

Right am off to amazon to see how much it is for the whole lot!!!!

Bucharest · 05/03/2011 20:26

George Clooney acted like a plank of wood in ER.No changes there then.

I loved all the others, even though never heard one of them speak in their own voices as watched it all over here so they were dubbed. (was v odd to discover they weren't all the same Italian actor Grin)

Loathed Neela and Sam though. Could not believe Luka wanted to shag Sam and was sooo glad when that finished. She had one of those grubby little Billy Piper mouths that I wanted to punch.

gallifrey · 05/03/2011 20:39

Nooooo I love Doug Ross! I also like Carter and Mark Green is very sweet bless him but he just doesn't do it for me, and I keep thinking of him being Goose in Top Gun!

tribpot · 05/03/2011 20:41

Carter was always the one for me (despite obv and appropriate deference to Dr Mark Green). The ep when Lucy Knight was killed was incredible and of course, Dr MG's death has to rate as one of the saddest moments of telly ever. Even more than when he died the time before in Top Gun.

Abby - deeply annoying and so did not deserve to have Carter and Kovac fighting over her.

Elizabeth Corday - goddess.

Carol - fellow goddess.

It lost its way when John Wells the producer did what he would later do to The West Wing, i.e. downgrade the older characters in favour of younger ones and basically make everyone in the cast shag at least two other members of the cast. Plus introduce Mary McCormack at random.

Dr Romano was indeed in Fame, tis truly hilarious to watch him now. "Out there on my own".

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 05/03/2011 20:44

Luka would shag anything that moved in one series, including the patients, I fell a bit out of love with him at that point. I was glad he ended up with Abby not Sam, and I was glad Abby chose him over Carter. Oh, I do miss it.

who was dr romano in fame then, cant remember him at all?

Without googling (and thus cheating) I think he was Montgomery, the ginger kid in the style of Art Garfunkel. I'm talking original film not the seminal TV series.

Wow, im going to have to find a pic, I am sooo loving ER again after not watching it for about 10 years (watched the first five years). Still waiting for someone to tell me when Ewen was in it. Im sure there has been quite a few famous actors in it though. One of those 2 american brothers that act, names escape me.

OMG tribot ahhhhhhhhhhh There is no way I would have realised that was him!!!!!! That song by irene cara was just beautiful too!

watching when he died

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 05/03/2011 21:02

Must have been about 1998 the Ewan McGregor one. It was one of those single storyline episodes, he was a robber holding up a corner shop at gunpoint, Carol was there, possibly there were hostages, can't quite remember now.

Trying to think who else has been in it.

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 21:05

Are we talking guest stars??

Original poster
landrover · 05/03/2011 21:08

oh yes i remember that one now! I have a feeling he died in the end though! Was Quentin Tarantino in it at all or just directed a couple of episodes? They put Rosemary Clooney on a few times at the beginning, presumably to get publicity for George as a newcomer I guess!
