The ‘ER’ Series Finale Party

Posted by taylor blue on March 29, 2009 | 1 Comment

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.

Who has it Harder than Jennifer Aniston? We’ll Tell You!

Posted by Jessica Rae on December 16, 2008 | 4 Comments

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!

Maura Tierney Leaving ER Tonight

Posted by taylor blue on October 16, 2008 | 17 Comments

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…
