ONE love, blood, life
I love ER, I really do. It's one of my favorite shows ever. But its in a two year contract with NBC right now and a lot of people don't think it will make it past this coming season. I don't know about that, but I can see why people would think so.
The fact is, the show is hemmoraging cast!
Sure, it sucked when Ross and Hathaway left. Sure it was a blow when Benton left and an even bigger blow when Greene died. But at least the ER still had a pretty full staff to keep things going. But...
November 2003: Romano dies.
Spring 2004: Gallant goes to Iraq.
04-05 season: Korday, Chen, AND Carter all left for one reason or another.
2005 offseason: Now Lewis won't be back either!
Do you know what this means? Not only did the ER loose it's chief, THREE attendings, and TWO of its chief surgeons in the span of less than a year, but the remaining ER staff will look something like this...
One Chief Of Staff: Weaver
NO Chief Of ER: ?
ONE Attending: Kovac
ONE Surgeon: Dubenko
Five Residents, two of whom are barely out of med school, one of whom just stopped being a nurse five minutes ago, and a chief resident who is a total joke: Pratt, Neela, Barnett, Abby, Morris
ONE major-character Nurse: Sam
I think the TPTB already wanted to get a 'name' to replace Carter, and now that Lewis is gone, they're gonna need to get TWO grown-ups if they want any success. And there need to be more attendings unless they're going to make Luka work until he's dead. At MINIMUM, a new ER chief/attending grown-up is needed.
I am VERY interested to see how TPTB handle this unprecedented loss of cast/staff.
