ooooh I love these ER threads. I treated myself to the ER collectors set dvd for Christmas in 2009 I am currently on series nine just LOVE it it is so great.

Carter is just lovely, George is dreamy and how could anyone not love Dr Mark Greene? I was just not v keen on Luca at all.

Was odd when Dr Greene's daughter Rachel went from being a cute little girl to a horrid teenager seemingly over night - the actresses didn;t even look much like each other.

I remember when I was at uni Friends and ER used to be on chanel four on wednesday evening which was "going out night" so we used to video them to watch the following day.

Weaver and Romano seem much more sympathetic the second time round - I can remember really disliking them but now they seem ok.

There are lots of guest appearances - I love watching out for them. Christina Hendricks was Abby's battered woman neighbour, Charlotte from SATC was in it early on, Paris from Gilmore girls was the wife of the guy that murdered Lucy. Josh from west wing was the father of the baby whose mother died in childbirth due to complications when Dr Greene delivered the baby

Oh I could talk about ER for hours Smile

I love Susan Lewis' character too, the on and off stuff with het sister etc.

Loving watching it from beginning again.

gilmoregirl · 05/03/2011 21:12

one of the gues stars was one of the mad men actors - the really annoying smug younger guy? He plays a totally opposite character - an actor who swallows paint

gilmoregirl · 05/03/2011 21:13

Rebecca de Mornay as Carter#'s older woman

gilmoregirl · 05/03/2011 21:13

Lisa Nicole Smith as Dr Benton's ex carla - v similar character to the one she played in ally mcbeal

landrover · 05/03/2011 21:16

Was really suprised watching the first few episodes how smarmy george clooney was, i think he probably got better, liked the ep where he rescued child from pipe underwater, gripping!

gilmoregirl · 05/03/2011 21:29

oh yes george clooney, in a tux with the bow tie untied, soaking wet and rescuing a small child

thud I just fainted

Desiderata · 05/03/2011 21:30

landrover · 05/03/2011 21:38

landrover · 05/03/2011 21:39

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 21:51

Right a few guest stars off the top of my head

Rebecca de Mornay as already said. Likewise Rosemry Clooney

James Cameron as a bishop
Forest Whittikar
William H Macy as Morgenstern
Zac Efron had a guest apperance before fame, likewise George Eads and Marg Helgenberg of CSI
Ray Liotta as an Alcoholic dying
James Belushi

Im sure I'll think of more

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 21:52

Lucy Lui early on

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 21:52

Early Milo Ventimiliga (Peter from Heroes)

Told you I think of more!

alistron1 · 05/03/2011 21:52

Pratt died??!! OMFG, I did not know that!

KittaKatta · 05/03/2011 21:55

Oh thank God, I have found my own. . . ..
Am on series 4 atm

Doug Ross was so so, too smary at the start but I had more time for him once his back story was revealed

But Mark, Mark, I still get tears in my eyes,, that Jen was a bitch.
And 2nd time around Weaver is lovely

PersonalClown · 05/03/2011 21:57

Kirsten Dunst
David Krumholtz(Numb3rs)
Shia LeBouf
Cynthia Nixon (SATC)
Susn Sarandon

This is so shameful!

tribpot · 05/03/2011 21:57

It's surely not really relevant whether Clooney is or isn't gay, is it? In simple terms:

  • if he is, he isn't gonna shag me
  • if he isn't, by a 99.9999% certainty, he isn't gonna shag me and I don't fancy my chances on the 0.0001% anyway

His character isn't gay, although in hindsight that might have been an 'interesting' direction for Doug Ross, but his private life is no more relevant than any of the other actors'.

Water rescue ep was top notch.

BuzzLiteBeer · 05/03/2011 22:04

I don't think Jen was a bitch! Well not til right at the end of her bit. If she posted on here, you'd all tell her to dump the fucker, its just that we all saw it from the lovely Mark's side.
She worked to put him through med school and went to college at night and did all the baby stuff alone cos he was always at work. Then when it was her turn to get a job he wanted her to turn it down so that he could stay where he wanted.

I tell you, she would have got a YANBU to leave him and move to Milwaukee!

landrover · 05/03/2011 22:05

Ah found some Alan alder as a doctor, Dakota Fanning when she was 6, Danny glover as Pratts father, Susan saranden in final series, sally field.
No its nor relevant about george being gay, i am now curious though! Yes it would have been a great story in the show though!

OP posts:
landrover · 05/03/2011 22:06

But Jen had Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could she? And she had an affair! (sorry Dr Mark Green)

Yum Alan Alda...back in the MASH days though...Blush

DilysPrice · 05/03/2011 22:45

This is quite a good "before they were famous" list, as opposed to all the Big Important Guest Stars like Alan Alda .

pissedrightoff · 05/03/2011 22:46

I am watching series 1 on atlantic just now, Anyone else notice that as well as 'Goose' - Dr Mark Greene, two other carachters from top gun are in it? Slider and Jester, or is it only me that is such a saddo?
