Shane West hit the Hot Summer Nights Playboy Party on Saturday night looking like gold. I used to watch ER specifically for him for a season or two. I wanted him to be with Neela so bad. But then Simon came to the scene and stole my heart. I know really it’s not important because it won’t be coming back in the fall anyways. Still wondering how I will cope with that after watching it for so many years.

ER is finished with it’s last episode on Thursday. I still can’t believe it and that’s mostly because this year was the best season yet. And the guy above? Is the new doctor I have a crush on. Dr. Brenner. Every time he cries I swear I have to too. I hope they find something new and excited for Simon Lyons so I can follow him to a new show.

The cast had their series finale party last night at Social in Los Angeles last night. Some of the cast pitched in with their lasting memories of ER.

“It’s difficult to invest as much energy, time and passion and then not be on it but still be accountable to it. In some ways, I’ve been waiting for this. And in others, it’s the closing of a really beautiful chapter in my life, so I feel melancholy.” — Noah Wyle (Dr. John Carter)

“It’s very cliche to say it’s a family here, but it’s very genuine here, and I will miss it incredibly.” –David Lyons (Dr. Simon Brenner)

“It’s going to be strange not seeing these guys every day. I’ve been spoiled here.” — Parminder Nagra (Dr. Neela Rasgotra)

“This is a show about saving and helping people, about sacrifice and working hard. We have worked very hard to do that right.” — Troy Evans (Desk Clerk Frank Martin)

“It’s been great to be part of something that has such a rich legacy and go down in TV history and have a small part in it.” — Angela Bassett (Dr. Cate Banfield)

“It’s amazing to go everywhere in the world and have people recognize you and be nice and appreciative of your work.” – Abraham Benrubi (Desk Clerk Jerry Markovic)

“Being on this show has changed my life. It’s given me respect in the business. People look at me like I’m a totally different actor.” — John Stamos (Dr. Tony Gates)

“I wasn’t gonna be sad. But now I’m looking at 15 years of my life. I’m saying my thank-yous quietly, my so-longs and see-you-laters. Not goodbye.” — Yvette Freeman (Nurse Haleh Adams)

“I had downloaded the theme to ‘ER’ before I was on the show and I used to jog and pretend I was in the opening credits.” — Scott Grimes (Dr. Archie Morris)

ER has been around for half of my life. Well that’s not quite true, but almost. I will miss that show. I have watched every season and through all the things I went through in my life it was there every week. Well, except when there were reruns. I will miss it terribly.

George Clooney was spotted on the super secret set of ER filming some scenes the other day in Seattle. But, I guess it’s not so super secret now. I found a site that posted spoilers of what the scene will be. I’m almost afraid to post them because I’ll ruin it for me too. So I’ll just give you the link and go see yourself.

I think Dr. Ross looks so good! Why did he ever have to leave? All I really know is that I’m going to miss ER so much. After it being around for practically half my life I don’t know what I’ll do on Thursday nights without it.

I am so glad that George Clooney is coming back to ER! An insider told The Insider that George is filming scenes for the show. Now, I would have been very disappointed if they were bring back everyone and George didn’t show up. If it wasn’t for him on that show I wouldn’t have been in love with him like I am.

Let’s all remember the last time that Dr. Ross and Carol were together. (Yes, I know the quality is bad…but just remember…)

Maura Tierney has life harder than Jennifer Aniston. This is my assumption, at least. Because the only thing worse than getting the self-pitying looks and paparazii hounding you is if it happens to you because they think you look like someone else. Despite Tierney being on ER for many years, she’s not as famous as Jennifer Aniston. So it’s probably a cringe-worthy moment when someone asks, ‘Can I get an autograph, Ms. Aniston?’

Many of us can tell that this isn’t Jennifer Aniston when we see her – but many other people are…well, not that bright. Also, if you’re in the ‘heat of the moment’ and you think you see someone who might be someone (and without makeup it’s hard to tell) you might chance it so you don’t miss out. Which is your small embaressing moment, but Tierney’s eternal life struggle!

One time I swore that Reese Witherspoon was in a restaurant I was in. It turns out she wasn’t. But the woman dropped the charges on me! (Just joking.)

More pictures after the jump, including one desperate attempt to disguise herself!

 

Disguise time!:

 

 

I am so excited that Parminder Nagra — who plays Dr. Neela Rasgotra — is expecting a baby. But hold on before I get ahead of myself. She has only told the National Enquirer so we have wait to really find out the news. (They said that Linda Edelstein was pregnant too and so far there is no baby bump.)

“Parminder is thrilled beyond belief about this baby,” a pal [said]. “But with the show in its last season, she doesn’t want to take anything away from the fanfare. She’s happy to be filmed standing behind counters or other techniques that can hide a growing baby bump. Viewers won’t have a clue. The big lab coats and gurneys will be hiding her belly.”

I know that the Enquirer says that it won’t be written into the story but I picked out two dads that might be good for Dr. Neela to hook up with.

Now, i was stoked when Ray (Shane West) came back to see Neela on the Halloween episode. It was like he had forgiven her for everything. I would have loved to see them together. But, the new Australian doctor, Simon Brenner (David Lyons), I like him. He seems like the biggest jerk around but somehow you know his heart is in the right place. I am an episode behind but I loved it that Neela finally went to go drinking with Simon. He could be her baby daddy too!

“It was really like going back to high school – in the best way – your favorite class and having your favorite teacher and there was no test that day. …. After about a half hour it felt like I really had never left.” -Anthony Edwards on being back on the ER set. (I can’t wait to see him back again…It’s never been the same without him or George Clooney.)

When I found out that Maura Tierney is leaving ER tonight I cried a little. First, it was Dr. Pratt and now it’s Abby. I know last season was so powerful for her as her character dealt with Alcoholism. This last season is going to be so hard to watch knowing everyone will be gone by the end of it all. TV Guide did an interview with her that was so funny, Maura sounds like she would be so awesome to hang around with !

TV Guide: You wanted Abby to be killed off, but she won’t be. So how does she leave?
Maura Tierney: Last year, Abby struggled so much, the writers wanted to send her off with a certain amount of calm and dignity. It’s sweet and funny.

TV Guide: What’s the future for Luka and Abby?
Tierney: I think it’s looking up. We sort of exit together. And there could be a kiss.

TV Guide: Are George Clooney and Julianna Margulies coming back?
Tierney: I’ve heard the rumors. [Laughs] I have no inside information…I want them to come back, too, as a viewer.

TV Guide: What do you want to do next?
Tierney: I’m ready for a sitcom. I always beg Paul Simms, who created NewsRadio, to make a show that I could be in. But he hasn’t done it yet, so a friend and I are developing an hourlong drama.

She’ll always be Abby to me…

This is George Clooney back in 1996. This is probably when he was on that little TV Show back then, ER. I can’t believe how fast the last 12 years has went by. It just seems like yesterday. But then you see pictures like this and remember that it was a really long time ago!

George in this picture reminds me of Kenny Hotz. (He’s in the last thumbnail below.) Kenny is in a show called Kenny vs Spenny. One of my favorite TV shows..and it’s Canadian. I don’t like to admit I like it because it’s a cruel show. But I never laugh so hard as when I watch this show.
