Thread: E.R. is back!

Let's start up our discussion about ER again. I don't know how many of the original ER fans are still around. I know Terese was one of those that regularly posted about the show.

What was with Abby last week? What a witch!
Wasn't the outcome of Kovac predictable? They wouldn't write out a great character like that so soon.
But I SO didn't predict that Carter would end up staying. That was a surprise.

Teri,

i have to say i was ery surprised and extatic that Luka was still alive!! even though he has been self-distructive the past 6+ months.. i do love his character (who wouldn't, he's so good lookin' )

abby, YUP - and i'd use B not W. She certainly does not deserve John. To ask for the keys like that.

adn i was very surprised he stayed behind... but saying that he was lost and now he's found... I think losing Gamma the way he did (the only one in the family that was close to him) it must have really hit him hard... and then the way Abby ruined the funeral and all.... He needed a change.

I was talking to a friend today who saw Noah on the Ellen show... and said something to the effect that he has fun on Africa... probably with that Debby... and something about being back on the show (back in the Hosp around Nov time frame)

I'd like to see Luka get his life back on track and meet a really nice girl.

in the previews.. did it look like Romano threw an artifical arm?? I wonder if they were fitting him with a prothsesis(sp).

Thanks for starting up the thread again. I was thinking about it yesterday.

I just started watching this!!! But LOVED the 1st show!!! And Yes Terese!! LOL

20.5 to go!!

I love ER, have always loved it, but cannot stay awake until the end of the show .

I agree Abby was a real B! Thanks for filling me in on Luka. When I went to sleep last Thursday (missed it last night) he was dead!

Is it me or is it not as an exciting show as it was in the first seasons?

What a riveting episode. I really kept thinking they had written the Kovac character out. So I guess I was surprised by the ending that they DID find him. I am kinda disappointed that Carter won't be coming back to the hosp. Romano should be good next week. What a jerk. I love to hate him. You would think something as life altering as losing an arm would mellow someone out..........but no........not him. As the staff of ER comes and goes, I still find this a fascinating show and am totally addicted.

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

From what I have read Noah wants to spend some quality time with his new baby. He will be in a few episodes I think toward the end of the season. I was also upset that Luca was not going to be in the show but was happy he was found alive. I have watched that show since it started and haven't been disappointed in it at all. Count me in....

Isn't that the show George Clooney was in?

Yup....Clooney was in it for several years.
I like ER but I'm liking "Without a Trace" a little better at the present time. Sooooo, keep us up to date on the happenings...hopefully I can catch 'em in the re-runs at the end of the season...hehe!

Question!
What exactly happened to Gamma? How did she die? What did abby do at the funeral? I take it her and Dr. Carter are not together anymore?
I missed the first couple episodes but finally got my cable fixed. I am so lost.
PLEASE HELP ME GET BACK ON TRACK!!!!

All this other stuff happend at the end of the season.

Gamma died in her sleep, taking a nap.

JOhn felt really bad because she had been calling him for a few days, and he never returned her calls....

then at the funeral - this is when Abby's weird brother was having all those problems (just found out he was Bi-Polar?? and wasnt taking his meds so of course, he always came first to Abby.... so when the Limo picked her up, she had him come along and stay in the limo.. which of course he didnt do.... he was watching cartoons and getting obnoxious... eventually he got out and was being really loud and obnoxious... i cant recall all of it, but to end it all, he fell into the hole!! right on the coffin.

and all Abby could say was, I'm sorry. and that she was taking him to the hosp.... then back to the mansion... when John asked ,"Why?" she said somethign about him needing help, and John said, "No, why are you coming back to my house?" basically stating he didnt want her there.

that was the start, or the straw that broke the camels back, and their relationship was sinking fast after that.

OH,, so I guess I'll try to recap the first show...

when John was leaving Africa in the last episode of last season, he told Luka to "not get himself killed"

he got home probably around 5am and went right to Abbys. when she woke up, she asked how he got in, and when he said her key, she asked for it back. He handed it to her and walked out.

at the hosp, there was this new gal that Makhi (what's his name) was really flirting with totally pissing off Deb. the new girl is really smart, but in the end, her only patient dies.

Abby and John keep avoiding each other all day, but eventually have a talk, which doesnt go well.

teh place is crazy do to some construction Carry ordered, and the phones are all out of whack.... they are rining off the wall and that new girl picks up one call. It was for John, and since no one knew where he was, she was taking a mssg, and then she said, "Someone died." and they asked who, and she said "A doctor. Dr Kovoc" and eveyones jaws hit the floor.

needless to say, you know he's not dead cuz you've read the other posts.

I think that is all that has happened.... If i've left out anything - others will jump in.

Thanks for the recap. But what was the big deal at the funeral?

Actually, yes, her only "official" patient dies, but before that, she assisted on a patient and figured out(after nagging the lab to finish her blood work) something rare about that patient. It saved her life. THEN she let a patient bleed out and they lost her. The young black doctor took the blame for that death because he said he was in charge and should have double checked her work.
Also, the new Indian doctor mentioned above has run into some prejudice in the ER with the older guy that answers the phones. He's a bigot anyway, everyone knew that, but he was mean.
And the whole Carter/Abby thing: I think he wanted to be her "savior", but they both come from disfunctional families that neither one of them can have a normal relationship. Too much baggage! Carter with his weird parents, Abby with her weird mother and brother. They are doomed.
And what is the Susan thing about? That is so weird! She's divorced from the guy, but they are still having sex? And that "having sex right there in the ER" is getting old. How sick is that?
Can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

Abby's brother fell into the HOLE right onto the coffen.

&lt;&lt;older guy that answers the phones

Yeah - Frank,,, he was quite nasty to her. I can't exactly recall the acronym he used, but it had something to do with 3r'd world country students killing patients.... wasn't nice at all.

I don't know what I can't recall these characters names.... but yeah - the young black, military doctor - he's the good kid... he was trying to help that new Indian gal, where Makhi was just flirting and showing off (he didnt do much good for her at all)

Teri - I recall when Susan and that parametic were talking about getting an annulment - they commented on how Ex's have the best sex

It does seem like they like each other - but had the marriage annuled because the marriage was a mistake.

Well - YEY, it's Thursday!! i did read a preview where it says about Romano on the rampage cuz he fitted for a hook on this arm. and Abby gets a Dear John letter.

OH I just LOVED Romano's rampage. It was priceless. I also loved how the med student stood up to Romano and how Cary was a supreme beeeee-atch to him. Payback IS a b**ch!!! I just LOVE to HATE Romano.
