Did anyone watch last weeks episode of ER?

I forgot to record it on sky+ last thursday and I was away at the weekend, so could catch up on it then when repeated on channel 4.

Anyone able to give me a brief run down?

Thanks Dizzy. I'm so shocked she did that!

expatinscotland · 06/03/2008 23:13

He mustn't have been that good or she'd have remembered.

Even when utterly leathered, I always remembered the good ones .

dizzydixies · 06/03/2008 23:14

Lubyloo - THEN when she gets home she wakens up Joe, puts him in the car and tries to drive to the airport pished to get a flight to Croatia, manages to get told to sit down and sober up by airport staff - obviously didn't go as next thing we know luca and brother nico arrive

dizzydixies · 06/03/2008 23:14

ROFL expat

expatinscotland · 06/03/2008 23:16

Gross, dixy, she didn't even bother to shower before the next one (Luca)?!

Eeewwww.

NorthernLurker · 06/03/2008 23:17

D'y'know - I love ER - I really do - but I just can't be bothered anymore! I like Pratt, Morris, Frank and Abby as individual characters but the whole package is leaving me cold! I don't believe in Abby drinking again in the way she is and for the reasons that she has - sorry I just find it annoying. Luka's entire personality appears to have been erased and I don't care about him either. Sam has annoyed me pretty much from the beginning, the only one who rivals her is the strangely talented and attractive Neela (?) I miss Carter and Mark but most of all I miss Benton and Carol and Elizabeth. Where are Lydia, Lily and Malik? And why in 14 years have they not employed a single other member of staff who can speak Spanish - poor Chuni has translated at more heartbreaking situations than flesh and blood could stand!

I've got everything up to series 7 on dvd - and I'm taking refuge with that!

dizzydixies · 06/03/2008 23:18

oh no did she go home and shag him too? I thought he arrived back the next day - surely she would have showered before work?! I thought when he turned up she went and put the voddie in the coke can before spilling it all over the nursery

expatinscotland · 06/03/2008 23:20

She doesn't make a very convincing high-functioning alcoholic, FWIW.

dizzydixies · 06/03/2008 23:21

Benton - how could I forget benton and the baby he had with the burd that died and then he left with Cleo?!

what about the ginger lesbian chief who's partner died and they'd had baby henry - where did she go (can't remember her name so excuse the desc)

NorthernLurker · 06/03/2008 23:26

I'd be quite happy to forget Cleo - drip of a woman

Kerry went to Florida I think with her tv producer girlfriend

dizzydixies · 06/03/2008 23:27

Kerry - thank you!
I'd forgotten she'd become the tv star - kind of lost interest in that too!!

NorthernLurker · 06/03/2008 23:34

yep one minute she's a committed physician - next minute she could not be doing with it and was off.

NorthernLurker · 06/03/2008 23:35

I think Maura Tierney knows the drinking thing is coming across as highly unconvincing - she looks even grumpier than usual!

thegrowlygus · 07/03/2008 15:15

You have all forgotten the main story line of last weeks ER (At least I think it was last weeks - it feels as though it was last weeks) - the "bad british accent cheese rolling incident".

Cor luv a duck guv'nor I dun hurt meself whilst chasing a cheese.

And was that Micheala Strachan I saw, overseeing the cheese rolling?!

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2008 16:05

well I had sucessfully blanked out the cheese rolling - but there you go, bringing it up......

NomDePlume · 07/03/2008 16:10

The cheese rolling thing was hideous

I don't think Abby would have been pushed back to booze either.

Agree re Luka, but he is still mighty fine

policywonk · 07/03/2008 16:14

LOl at description of awful cheese-rolling story line. What is it with Americans and their depictions of Brits? Anyone remember Daphne's brother in Frasier? Truly painful.

wannaBe · 07/03/2008 16:15

so what happened last night?

and am sure that cheese roller was one of Dafney's brothes in "frasier".

expatinscotland · 07/03/2008 16:19

I'd have made Luka a happy man .

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2008 16:20

irritating chief guy isn't coming back
irritating blonde temp attending was made temp chief by Anspaugh
Pratt was irritated by that
Luka and Abby had a fight
Abby drank alone in her ex apartment and got home for a nother fight and to find that Luka's dad had died
Some people were sick
Gates and Sarah had another irritating episode in their portrayal of life with a teenager.

Errrrrr - that's about it I think

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2008 16:21

Yes but expat - now he's stuck with Abby being miserable for the next 40 years - there's just no point looking at what might have been

NomDePlume · 07/03/2008 16:21

I recognised the girlfriend of the injured bloke too. She did a washing powder advert. The one where she is running her mob up and down the radiator to feign traffic noise to her boyf so she can stay in and sniff her clothes for 5 more minutes

NomDePlume · 07/03/2008 16:22

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SPOiler. I haven;t watched last nights yet

[hysterical]

wannaBe · 07/03/2008 16:22

ah no, he only has abbey for another two episodes doesn't he? .

NorthernLurker · 07/03/2008 16:26

Eeeeek - so sorry

my description wasn't very good - I was too bored by the whole thing
