We were in denial. The season 11 finale is when Carter left. We can only deal with the loss of our leading men one at a time. :(

Many other people liked that episode for the lower Abby-content.

I can think of several of the current starring characters that could successfully be brought into a more prominent roll.

I know that, but I know many other people didn't like the overdose of John Stamos. I know I didn't. All I'm saying is that I don't think that ER would last long without Goran or Maura.
New Carby signature yet to come!

A reason for Carby: Because Carter provides the "lo." And Abby the "ve."
Because he is the sky to her clouds.

Can't I be obsessed with both?

I didn't mean to sound as rude as i did in that message... :huh:

But, I made my point... I've stopped watching the show, not for any one reason, I just.. RL took over I guess? I'm not sure, so it doesn't matter to me either way. But we have to think of the actors and whether or not they want to stay or leave... So...

Yeah.

It's true, sometimes I'll be working on a fanfic or here on the board, and I'll just be amazed at how invested we are in these fictional people. I'm as into the relationships, the career standing, ect as anyone else, but it'll be irrelevant in the end because when an actor decides it's time to go, the character goes too. It's better that they come and go in their own time, because if they are here for us willingly, then we'll continue to love the chracters as if they are real people in our real lives.

If it is indeed the last season next season, I want Goran to stay if he can, I really do. But if he's not going to give us 110% next season, if we won't love Luka the way we do right now, then it may be better if he goes. It's better if he leaves while he's on top. ER has a history of taking overextended characters and either ignoring them (Jeanie, Cleo, Corday, Lewis, Weaver) or sabatoging them (Romano).

I think that if Goran leaves, Maura will too. Luka won´t left Abby or Joe. he´s not like that and i think the writers know he wouldn´t. I hope i´m right. I prefer both leaving than just Abby or Luka. Abby couldn´t handle it, neither could Luka. :mellow:

And I can think of reasons that every single one of those characters couldn't do it alone. Well, they couldn't do it alone and give ER the same feel that it has now.

They wouldn't have to do it alone. ER's been an ensamble show from the start. That's why it's not JUST Luka, Abby, and a bunch of random people who only show up for two or three episodes.

Well maybe if GV DID leave then the other characters in the show might actually get some screen time for once so it wouldn't necessarily be The Abby Lockhart Show.

I realize that, but we all know that they've been getting the most screen time and they are the characters that have the biggest fan following. And I really think it woulld end up being just the opposite of what Mia said if Goran left. Just like in season 9, watching Abby struggle with being alone AGAIN and having to be a single mother to Joe, that would be the big storyline of season 14. ER is not as much of an ensamble cast as it used to be, if it were than we wouldn't care so much about if he goes and whether Maura should or shouldn't go with him so that Abby won't be alone. We would be like, "hey, we'll miss him/them, but we have other characters that we love just as much that will step up. ER will be equally great without them." I don't have statistics on it, but all the people with Abby or Luby banners in their signatures makes me think that their relationship IS what brings in the most viewers.

You got a bit of a point there,and Luka contributes alot to it.
But it has gotten so normal (well at least for me) to have alot of episodes with Abby, and I kind of like it. But that is because Maura is one of my favourite actresses, I watched alot of movies with her, and I am even watching Newsradio at the moment. But then again, I gotta say, the others deserve to be on the show a bit more than they are now, it's just that I would like to see some other storylines with them than they have now.

^ I agree completely. Luby/Lubylet and Neela seem to dominate ALOT of the storylines from what I've read of S13 spoilers. But even if Abby wasn't centre screen for Luby/Lubylet, she had the patient storylines.

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously I am not now nor have I ever been a fan Carby as anything more than a friendship.

Just a random question, what is meant with "Because I'm not THAT type of Carby" Mia?

Other than that, Abby managed just fine without Luka last episode, I didn't even like the whole court-story..

I have nothing against Maura Tierny as an actress. No strong feelings either way, really.

As for Abby... Once upon a time, I liked her character. Then I tolerated her. Now, she bugs the crap out of me half the time. She still has a few worthwhile scenes, but her character hasn't grown any, gets huge amounts of screentime for minimal plots, and acts like a spoiled kid a lot of the time.
