ER season 14 thread (1 Viewer)

Still watching but every episode has that "on a very special ER" feeling.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Morris was a riot in tonight's episode. "Dude! That was a rental!" "I'll cut the cheese."

Hoping Moretti is gone for quite a while.

Abby's still struggling with the demon in the bottle.

Doogie Howser II had some good scenes, both sensitive and funny.

Didn't much care for the Tony and Sarah subplot.

 

[Patrick Sun]

ER's 300th episode was pretty decent.

Abby's found the courage to ask for help with her drinking, but only after getting really mean to Neelah after Neelah expressed concern for her relapse into the bottle. She couldn't quite come totally clean with Luka about her drunken dalliance with Moretti.

Sam seems to be getting the Abby uplift out of nursing as she branches out, this time it's riding with the EMTs.

Morris is not above maiming someone for money.

Gates and Doogie Jr. had a good 1-2 punch combo going on in the ER.

So for those that have been watching since episode #1, which I have not since about episode #165 or so, who from the original cast is still on, talking anyone who is considered a regular. IE; the big guy that was at the desk answering the phone, etc.

I haven't watched in a long time, but a search on IMDB reveals these people have appeared from season 1 until now or very recently. Not all in the list are regulars. They're in the order of most appearances to least, with number of appearances in parentheses:

Nurse Malik McGrath (189): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0195970/f...ries#tt0108757

Nurse Haleh Adams (178): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0293623/f...ries#tt0108757

Pickman (154): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0905878/f...ries#tt0108757

Nurse Lily Jarvik (124): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0548159/f...ries#tt0108757

Officer Martin (97): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0263283/f...ries#tt0108757

Dr. Jack Keyson (19, appeared in 11 of 14 seasons): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0027402/f...ries#tt0108757

Timmy Rawlins (15, but with a break of more than 10 years): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687625/f...ries#tt0108757

Frank should at least get his $100 back.

He's the big guy answering the phone. He was in the very first episode as a cop, and then he returned to the show at the end of Season 6, retired as a cop, working at the desk.

The most consistent, longest running continuous character is Chuny, who started at the end of Season 1 (203 episodes). In addition to a few of the other nurses that Thomas cited, there really is no one left from way back.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Hell, Chuny even survived a minor tryst with Mark Green.

 

[ThomasC]

Ooh, a sneaky one! She appeared in one season 1 episode; I didn't catch it, because her filmography says 1995-2007.

 

[todbnla]

What was the big guy's name that used to answer the phone prior to Frank?
ANSWER: Jerry! (Abraham Benrubi) what happened to him in the show...?
And where have all the actors that left the show went, most to the wayside...
IE: Eric LaSalle, where is he now? And Julianna Margulles on HBO's sopranos, where is she now?

 

[ThomasC]

Jerry, played by Abraham Benrubi: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0072344/

Man, I can't believe this was the same show:

 

[MarkMel]

They all left to be stars on the big screen as the small screen was too confining. lol

Anthony Edwards lives in the town next to me and a friend of mine was standing behind him at a carnival. I told him he should've asked Anthony how his career is going.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Well, Anthony Edwards did return to the big screen in "Zodiac". Even had a head full of hair (well, his character did).

 

[Ken Chan]

A few episodes back, Chuny mentioned the old days with Mark Greene and Doug Ross, and a few of the newer characters said, "Who?"

Abraham Benrubi is currently on Men In Trees -- ER had a throwaway line about how Jerry had gone into the woods or something like that.

 

[todd stone]

how I miss THAT show

 

[MarkMel]

Ha, I forgot about that, should've done an IMDB search first, but I was just saying.......

 

[John_Lee]

How dare you forget Chuny. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0149018/f...ries#tt0108757

It was good to see Pratt step up his game. His scene with Jeanie Boulet at the end of the episode was good. It's always fun when the writers try to fill in the stories of the former characters with updates when they bring back old cast members, like Gloria Reuben (Jeanie Boulet). Looks like Carter was coming back in the spring before the WGA strike. Heh.

I was sifting through some old DVD's of stuff I'd archived and I came across the "Love's Labor Lost" episode from season 1. A bittersweet viewing as it made me remember just how damned good those first seasons were and also how far it has fallen since then.:frowning:

NBC officially announced next season is the last for ER, with it's big finale in February.
