ER Episode?

[ne11er]

Can anyone give me a brief synopsis of what happened on ER last night (10/11)? I missed it...darn it...and I cna't find anyone who taped it either.

[Ling]

1. Malucci got stuck in an elevator because he ran after this hot-looking Ambulance worker. She was ignoring him. There was a sick man inside who threw up blood, passed out and so Malucci and girl resuscitated him. This was enough for girl to like him. Later, Weaver found them getting it on inside an ambulance. She fired him. He called her "Nazi Dyke"

2. Elizabeth fell asleep briefly while performing an appendectomy. She only had 2 hours of sleep because of baby up all night.

3. Abandoned baby was brought in. It had a birthmark on the chest that looked like a bleeding heart. Couple of Hispanic ladies came to see and thought it was a sign from the Virgin Mary.

[Patience]

add head bald guy (Robert) told Weaver to find scape goat for last week's death

Abby accidentally broke croatian fish tank while taking a sweater & was arrested w/ Carter while trying to replace it (Luca had them released)

Green's daughter runs away from Mom in teenage angst hissy fit and decides to live with dad, even though it seems obviuos she is feeding him a bunch of crap

Benton's sister can't watch his son due to flashbacks of her now dead son.

Carter is only resident who knows anything and working hard to help cover for Debbie, (though too obviously to be effective) who is having every case taken from her by Weaver.

[ne11er]

So, is Malucci off the show in real life and this was how they wrote him off? Kind of a dumb way to go out...

Things I learn from visiting this forum (since I don't watch enough TV to learn it there).

>>ER is just another prime-time soap opera.<<

Wasn't it originally a drama with beginning and end to each episode?

Not really, it always had storylines following the personal lives of the docs and nurses.

And how long is Carter going to be a resident? Good thing he comes from a wealthy family:-)

[Bonnie]

Carter switched his specialty from surgery to ER. He had to start his residency over again, even though he was experienced.

I wish he would get over Abby. Many more fish in the sea who would love a good-looking doc.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Pouty-Girl is exactly what nice doctors want: someone to help and to heal.
She should have hooked up with Moody-Skirt-Chaser (though not his type). Then we could have a nurse back that we could care about.

ER is a continuing story ("...of a surgeon, who has gone to the dogs") in the manner of most great dramas these days (and of old): some story lines grow, some come and go.

Soap operas have only growing story lines, and must repeat the lines ad nausea, since it becomes difficult to create new ones. Just make the continuing ones slower.

[Ling]

Who is Moody-Skirt-Chaser?

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Clooney's character. Maybe "Moody" isn't the word I'm looking for.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Nazi-Dyke is pretty darn cruel. Sure glad that the other characters are finally not taking it anymore.

And, since you-all were looking, you must have seen the shadowyness upon Asian-Chick. Oh, yeah! Now, she's leaving, and what do I get in exchange? Good-ol' Loser's-Loser-Sister-Chick. Hate that hair (meeeeyow!).

Meanwhile, Benton will just have to break down and get a man-buddy in Black-Widower-Guy. A break-through in character development, finally.

[ASA_Woman]

"shadowyness on Asian-chick"? huh? I've missed a few episodes ...

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Just a hint of cleavage on an otherwise unsexy show.
Even Weaver's going to find out how unattractive she really is. Can't get picked up in the Les-be-friends bar.

[ASA_Woman]

I notice that you never refer to Asian-chick by name. Do you just have a thing for Asian women??

[Dr T Non-Fan]

I'm just going with the nickname thing.

I don't have a thing for Brain-Damaged-Guy, or Brit-Twit, or Baldy-SOB, or Halfy-Half-Chick (well, maybe I do, but not BECAUSE she's a halfy-half).

Besides, she changed her name back to some Chinese thing that I don't remember. "Jen-Mei" or "Wen-Mei" or something. Like Old-Fart (the receptionist) said, "How the hell do I know what she calls herself?

[Oh Yeah]

Ling could answer that.

[ASA_Woman]

Ling from Ally McBeal?

[Ling]

You just call out my name.....

Well, there goes the Asian and the Hispanic docs!

That Weaver is really mean. I think she fired Malucci just to cover her a**, so he can't attest to the fact that she didn't answer her beeper. She does not seem to like Susan Lewis either.

Who is Halfy-half chick? The pediatrician gf of Benton?

Now that some waitress is interested in Lucca, Abby seemed to be hot for him again.

I wonder if Susan Lewis will wreck Mark's marriage to the Brit?

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Altruistic-Guy (Carter) will make the play for Loser's Loser-Sister-Chick. LLSC had better not wreck that. After all, Brain-Damage-Guy will die during February Sweeps.
Didn't see Angst-Ridden-Teen this week. Maybe she can learn ASL and sit for Bad-Bedside-Guy's kid. Nah, too happy.

Maybe they can bring back Suicide-Squeeze and Skirt-Chaser-Guy for the funeral. We'll all have a big cry.

What Hispanic? Malucci is Italian.

Yes, Halfy-Half-Chick is the Pediatric Doctor. Seems too light to be Wholly-Whole.

[Ling]

I guess Malucci is an Italian name. He looks more Hispanic, though.

They probably won't kill Greene even though he is leaving the show this year. He might want to come back again in the future. They can't do another Bobby Ewing-style dream sequence to bring him back; or a Billy-AllyMcBeaL ghost appearances. But then , I wouldn't put it past TV.

I like Carter's line last night about the cookies:"Oh, I wouldn't touch Lucca's cookies", then looked at Abby.

The continuing saga.....

[ne11er]

I finally watched my taped episode of ER last night from 10/18. Wow...it doesn't seem like Weaver or Corday like Susan Lewis. What's the deal between Green and Lewis? WEre they romantically involved when she was first on the show? I never started watching ER until 3-4 years ago. And, do you see turmoil in the happy marriage of Green and Corday? And is Weaver ever happy?

[Patience]

Greene was interested in Lewis and I believe made the decision to tell her as she was leaving. I think she gave him a lets be friends answer. Not sure what Corday knows or thinks, but they never even kissed as far as I remember.

Weaver & Lewis never got along. Lewis never felt she got the respect as a doctor she deserved. Can't remember if Lewis ever actually told Weaver off.

I looked for the cleavage & saw the cleavage. DTNF, you must be very lonely if that was enough to do it for you. Though, of course, its better than no cleavage at all.

[Drewby]

A poignant moment - right at the end, as Chen was being consoled by Carter before her departure -

"Promise me the sacrifice you make for this place will be worth it" (paraphrased)

Then I remembered - she gave her baby up for adoption to keep working at that place - ouch!

[Anonymous]

Greene and Lewis were never romantically involved, but they were always chummy. Greene's first wife Jennifer was suspicious of G&L's friendship. It was one of the seeds that lead to their divorce. I am not surprised that Corday is suspicious, too.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Oooh, catty women! Is that what this show needs? Throw the LLS into the mix, and it's one big, happy cat-fight!

I'm not lonely, P-man. It's just one of many rays of hope I look for on a weekly basis.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

As I recall, Greene wanted it badly after the marriage broke up. LLS never got the hints, too wrapped up in Loser's (that's LLS Loser Sister, i.e. Loser) baby that she almost got to adopt.

[Oh Yeah]

Okay, now I'm totally confused. Is this just a soap opera where nothing really happens every week?

And where is Dr. Weaver? Did I miss something?

[Patience]

all shows with continuing story lines can be categorized as a soap opera. Though more usually gets resolved

I thought I saw previews with Weaver in the rain & downed power lines, what happened to that.

Lizzy needs to work on parenting skills. Was absolutely right to yell at kid for ignoring the baby. If she can't make life easier in the household by being there then she should go back to mommy. But telling her to heat the milk afterward was a lost battle and a stupid arguement

[Crystal Dragon.]

ok - I've been away from the show awhile...

When did Green and Corday marry?? and when did he get custody of Rachel? When did Lewis get back? Did Carter finish rehab?

It's been TOO long...

[Oh Yeah]

CD: Take my advice, stay away. If you get hooked again, you'll just be disappointed every week.

Married end of last season, actually little promo. Corday already pregnant

Rachel moved in just a couple of shows ago. Mom was too strict & wanted a life.

Lewis came back the show after Rachel, when it rains it poors.

Carter finished rehab, I thought at the beginning of last season.

[Damn, Dirty Ape]

"And where is Dr. Weaver?"

While my wife and I were watching yesterday's episode, I remarked that I was enjoying it more than I have recently. She pointed out that Weaver wasn't been on. "That's it!". Now if we can just cut out Luca's boring crap, we'll be in business!

[Dr T Non-Fan]

It's not Croatian-Guy, it's Tell-Me-What-To-Do-So-I-Can-Accuse-You-Of-Wanting-To-Help-Me-Chick.
Carter's got his head on straight, predumping her. There's slightly better fish in the sea, in the form of LLS.
Teen-Angst-Chick has got to go. Probably will get killed off with Dr-Favorite-Guy.

[PensionAggie]

I am bummed now that I hear Mushy-Brain-Head-Doctor-Guy is not returning next season. I need to start preparing myself now. I can't imagine them killing him off since he is one of the original cast members.

[Macroman]

Greene and Corday both could end up with legal troubles. An investigator all but accused Corday of murder after her run of four Sepsis deaths and Greene offed the murderer in the elevator at end of last season. I would not be surprised to see their troubles mushroom to a final climax consuming them both. Of course people can also die dramatically.

Why February sweeps and not May? As popular as Greene has been I would think they would want to get the whole season out of him.

[Ling]

I missed a lot of episodes last year so I don't know this: was Carla married to that other black guy(don't know his name). Why does he have a claim on Benton's son?

Dr. Weaver was actually pretty "humane" in last Thursday's episode.

Ming-Na is still in the opening credits. Maybe her character will come back. I hope. She is probably taking some time off for her baby(in real life).

[Huki]

Benton is listed on the birth certificate as the father. Carla married the other guy after the kid was born. The other guy has standing because:
1) The kid spent a lot of time in his house as his step-son.
2) It turns out Benton is not the biological father (but neither is the other guy).
3) Carla is dead.

[Crystal Dragon.]

when (and how) did Carla die??

Weaver's professional career is probably over, but then again, hasn't every character on this show been in this kind of jeopardy at one point or another and came through unscathed?

Carter's Gamma is in some SERIOUS doo-doo...

[slam]

Carla died in an auto accident fairly recently.

Sure Gamma is in trouble. But I'm sure a couple of million spent in the right places will fix everything up on the legal side (especially if that woman survives). Her health issues will continue to linger, though.

Why do you say that Weaver's career is over?

[ne11er]

So, did Nicole (pronounced Neecole) lie to Abby about her father's death? Since I didn't see that episode about Nicole going nuts and confiding in Abby about her father, I'm kind of confused. She told Luka that her father kicked her out when she was 16 right? What's up with this girl? Is she really some really rich girl that is not an immigrant at all? What do you think of Nicole? I think she's some sort of scam artist.

[Patience]

Is Nicole really pregnant with Luka's baby??

I didn't find anything else that seemed strange in what she said. But considering she was ripping everyone off, yes she is some sort of scam artist & very messed up.

Gamma will claim cognitive impairment & get off relatively cheap.

[Crystal Dragon.]

Gamma gets off with a slap on the wrist (money does that for you)

Weaver gets off with a slap (they always do in this show)

Nicole isn't PG; she's scamming again

Benton BETTER get his kid or I will be VERY PO'ed!

[Patience]

Weaver incident is non-issue, mother & baby lived. You'll never hear about it again

[Griffin 1]

If Chen comes back and makes an issue of Weaver, the C-section thing could come back on her.
