1. Oh I hope Kovach doesn't leave!!
Hopefully, Sam leaves. I cannot stand her. I thnk I am a minority here, but she really grates my nerves.

2. She's a real piece of work isn't she?

Kovach could do a lot better :)

last year in the finale they hinted that Danny Glover would be a regular.. I hope so :)

3. Yes, she is such a downer.
She and that obnoxious kid need to go.

I think you are right about Danny Glover...he will definitely be playing a big part.

I think Kovach and Abby are going to get back together. They seemed to be hinting at it last night.

I really like the Neela/Michael relationship too....

6. I wanted to stick it out until the end because I've watched it since the
first season. But I actually forgot it was on. I guess that means it's time for me to let go. I really wish they'd ended it when Carter left.

11. Good point.
He was a major character. I am just glad Abby didn't get her paws on him. While she seems to be mellowing, she used to drive me crazy with her drama. :P

8. Actually it's still a better show than some of the "newer" medical shows
If they can re-infuse it with ew people every now and then , I'd like it to stay on:)

That Gray's Anatomy show is pathetic:puke:

9. I haven't watched the show since they killed Dr. Greene.
He was my favorite, and after they killed him off, what was the point of watching?

12. That's when I stopped watching, too.
I was a faithful viewer from the very beginning. I don't watch anything on network TV anymore.

13. HE was the one who wanted his character killed..
He was tired of doing the show, and wanted a dramatic send off.. I think it was actually handled well, and respectfully.. Doctors DO get sick too :(

26. I stopped watching after Clooney left.
The first 5 seasons of the show were the best.

18. They've always done cast changes. I think it helps keep the show
going that way.

I think Kristin Johnson's character is wicked hard-nosed but I bet she'll soften up over time.

I hope Kovac stays though. I like him. :P

19. This thread brings up a question: has any show EVER had a cast turnover as
complete as E.R. has? Not including long running daytime soaps.

I haven't been watching recently, last I saw Carter was the only original major character cast member remaining, now you are saying he's gone?

I like some of the actors and actresses playing the new folks, but it's just weird with a completely different cast, so I haven't felt as compelled to watch.

21. The cast changes actually work FOR it, since most
ERs do have a great turnover.. Most doctors train there, but few stay on..Too stressful for most..

The only character I have never liked is Carrie.. She's an odd duck..

27. Keri is a complete hag...
But I found myself missing her at the beginning of the season because she needs to see just how AWFUL the redheaded punk is.
