Question for ER fans

[arfur]

I might be losing it but when he first came into the series didnt Dr Pratt have a younger brother who was mentally handicapped that lived with him and kept getting into trouble? I cant seem to recall what happened to him and now Im even more confused as Pratts dad has now turned up (really sad storyline) but there is no mention of the brother. Help me please its driving me nuts! By the way can you believe they fired Halle?!

don't think he was actually his bro - anyway he got shot

Pratt did have a younger brother (Leon?) can't remember what happened to him, I have some vague memory of him getting caught up with gang trouble/gun/getting shot maybe?

I'm not up-to-date but appalled they would fire Halle, she's so great!

I don't think Leon was his real brother. I can't remember whether he was shot or whether he drowned when the car went into the river with Pratt and the Chinese doctor in it.

Nah the guy who was in the car crash with jing mae (sp) and pratt was a patient. I remember that much actually now I think of it there was a fleeting mention of a cousin last night I think - might watch again on sunday to double check! How sad am I? I am sure that whoever he lived with was involved in a shooting but cant remember the outcome.

Pratt was sending him off to live with his aunt , but I thought he got shot before he went?

found it:

Carter talks to Pratt about Leon. When he realizes Carter truly wants to help, Pratt admits Leon was probably involved in the shooting of the police officer. Carter points out that the police will probably blame Biz for the shooting, and suggests that if Leon disappears for a while, no one would go looking for him. Pratt considers Carter's advice for a minute, then flags down Gallant and tells him, "I need you to do me a favor." The favor turns out to be taking Leon to the bus station and buying him a ticket to Baltimore, where Pratt's Aunt Rose lives. Leon is fine until he realizes Pratt hasn't come to say good bye. Leon starts crying, telling Gallant Pratt has sent him away because he screwed up. Gallant gently insists that Leon gets on the bus, and Leon stops crying and does what he's told.

Thanks so much for that arfur DH was convinced the boy had died & I just couldn't remember.

Is it repeated on Sunday then? On regular Ch 4? Missed it last Monday - DH taped another channel by mistake.

While we're about it - what was that all about when they said last week (Ch4) that Susan Lewis had gone to Iowa? Is that it then? Has she gone (again)? Surely she should have got some sort of farewell storyline - this even beats Alex Kingston's rushed exit.

Oh thanks so much Iota - its all flooding back now! Yoyo - its repeated on E4 on sunday night. Agree with you sphil about Susan Lewis' convenient disappearance - bit of a con in my view! And while were on the subject wasnt Kovac's missus pg at the end of the last series (for the life of me cant remember her name at the moment)? What goes on there?

ust know that kovac's missus should die! i hate her!

Sam - thats her. Hes only biding his time until I am available again then hell be straight round to me. He knows Im the one for him really!

Sam wasn't PG. That's what split them up because he wanted more kids and she didn't.

keep dreaming arfur!!!! i'm next on his list!!!

Dr Pratt's foster brother was sent away on a bus to live with his aunt to keep him out of troulbe it[s currently being repeated on ch4 at lunch times i sky + it
