The Kinda-Weekly ER Thread

[honeychile]

Any guesses on how (if?) Abby & Luka are going to get married?

[Senusret I]

OMG RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZTABullwinkle]

I was blown away by what happened to Ray. Who was the other girl with Ray when Neela was with him? I can't remember her.

Did anyone else notice that Luke didn't look back after getting into the cab? I hope that isn't how he says good-bye. He deserves a better exit than that.

I'm so mad at them for doing that to Ray! Just when he and Neela are finally figuring out their relationship.

Is Luka leaving the show? I didn't know that.

[SapphireSphinx9]

Wait!!! Luka's leaving??

I missed the first 15 minutes because I was watching the end of Grey's... Will someone fill me in, please??

[WLFEO]

I am so lost.... I haven't watched ER in a few weeks, so I didn't understand everything last night. What happened to Ray????? And what is up with Luka?????

Luka resigned as Chief of the ER a few weeks ago, sometime before he and Abby were finally married. Not sure of the reasons why, but ER Chiefs usually drop like flies anyway. AFAIK, I don't think he's leaving (though I'm not sure how long he's under contract). Last week he got a phone call from Croatia saying that his father's not doing well, so he went off to take care of him. Sucks for Abby because they were supposed to be going off on their honeymoon.

Things got climactic in the Ray/Neela/Gates love triangle at the wedding two weeks ago. Ray and Gates got into a fight, Ray got drunk because he's so in love with Neela but she couldn't make up her mind (WTF is so special about her, anyway?) and as he was checking his voicemail, a semi plowed right into him -- hence, the no legs. IIRC, the girl who bitched out Neela was another intern/resident (can't remember) that worked with Neela on Dubenko's team. She and Ray dated while Neela was trying to figure out what the hell was going on between her and Gates. I was kinda surprised she was there, considering she didn't want to work with Ray (before it was known he had two amputated legs) last week.

I'm surprised Horny Hope the Intern was nowhere to be found last week. She was all up on Morris last week.

Good summary, OTW. I heard that Luka will be making cameo appearances, but just won't be a regular. That new ER Chief is a piece of work! IMHO, Sarah (Gates' non-DNA daughter) was sent off with the grandparents so Gates can enjoy some love interest(s) - which will probably include Neela. Having Ray go home to Louisiana was just too contrived - come on, he'd have some sort of accent if N'Awlenz was his hometown! I would have believe Wichita or Portland much easier! And didn't Luka take a backward glance once he was out of the Kennedy? Or was that Ray?

At the very end, Neela has wandered into an anti-war rally (I think at Grant Park), and Gates, although very far behind her, spots her just as a riot breaks out. Neela looks fairly trampled and Gates can't get to her.

Hope's "real name" is Busy Phillips?! Her parents must have hated her!

So, gone are:
Luka (except cameos)
Ray
Sarah
Sam's kid (What's-Your-Name, we hardly knew ye!)
Neela????

I always knew his name UNTIL I read that!!! Dang Murphy's Law!

So if Sarah was sent away, why did what's-his-face act like "Don't worry, I'll come for you" like she was being taken from him?

[christiangirl]

YES!!! Thank you, that was bugging me, lol

[Senusret I]

Is anybody watching? I missed the first half hour and tuned it RIGHT at the most gruesome part.
