In the begining yes he was my reason to watch ER but now in total counting him I have three reasons. But even if he did leave I'd still watch cause I've gotten into the story line I'm hooked it's so good. ER is like a soap opera except better and only once a week so it gives you time to think about it and keep coming back for more cause the season finale cliffhangers. it's not just a boring medical drama like I used to think before I got into it, it lets you see things kind of behind the scenes the doctors perspectives, personal lives, and the patients perspectives. So even if Kovac, Barnett, and Pratt ( my three other reasons) left I'd still watch.

I havent stumbled upon anything that has said flat out "Luka leaving ER" but I have been reading, and watching, and it seems to be hinting at him leaving. I think they are trying to make it kind of like a Kerry leave. No one knows until the spoilers come out. I think the only really public goodbye was when Noah Wyle left because he had been on the show for so long, but then again, Im 17 now, so I probably didnt read the newspaper religiously when Mark left, or Benton.

I don't post often, but when I do it's usually a Luka issue. Now its a Goran issue. Or as I see it, possibly an Ivana issue. If you think about it, she's been dragged to the US every year for 9 months out of the year for what now, 9 years? Whatever, a long time. Away from family, friends, neighbors, her familiar food, customs and language; away from her homeland. Yeah, Goran goes through all that too, but it's been his choice to come. It's HIS job bringing him here. It changes how you feel about it. Yeah, she can travel back and forth whenever she wants, $$ doesn't seem to be an issue, but would you? Leave your drop-dead hottie husband alone in LA? Would you want to?
Also, I read an interview a while back saying that if they ever started a family, they would want to be in Croatia. Hes been at this a long time and well, maybe they're thinking.....


I totally agree with you on this, Mildred. I am as sad about Goran (probably) leaving as anyone else :sniff: But Goran (with his wife by his side the whole time) has given us 8 years of ever-increasing quality of acting. It was much different for all the other lead actors in the past. Every one of them was American and in his/her own country. I can imagine how very homesick the Visnjic's are for their native Croatia. I also agree that they probably want to start a family before much longer. I read in an interview from a Croatian magazine (translated, of course! :haha: ) that Goran and Ivana want their children to grow up in Croatia, living a normal life with family and friends all around. Certainly a better environment for a child than Hollywood, wouldn't you think? :irritated: So I wish Goran and Ivana the very best in their life ahead. :wub: I think Goran is such a down-to-earth guy that he mostly wants to do projects in Croatia. For instance, have you all heard the Croatian song Goran recorded? Excellent voice! He has so many different talents! Obviously, he isn't going to turn down a great film opportunity, but I don't think fame and money are his only goals in life. More power to him! :tophat:

I will keep watching ER, but I'll admit there will be a very large hole there. I don't know what the writers will do with the Abby character now. I think everyone thought this would be ER's last season, and Goran, Maura, and everyone else would just walk away from the old set, with a lot of memories. Now ER's popularity has boomed again (whether due to an all-new cast, better writing, the demographics of being placed in the next time slot after "Grey's Anatomy", whatever). Now the writers have probably been left scratching their heads, saying, "NOW what do we do with Maura's character?" :lmao: They've left us dangling so many times over the years, it's kind of funny to think of them probably stumped! :neener: I think it would serve them right! I just hope the writers will bring back the "old style" ER, with great medical stories and patients and just the right (much smaller) amount of time devoted to relationships. I think some of the years that lost viewers were those that concentrated more on "ships" than the "tried and true" medical drama of the show's origins (just IMHO, of course).

It will be hard to see Goran go :cry: but all the best to you! The same goes for Laura Innes, an excellent actress (whether you liked her character or not) and director. I'm sure she has a very bright future ahead of her! :tophat:

Just old long-winded me who felt I had to put my 2 cents in there... I'll go back to my cave now.... :Hyper:

I'm back to my original favorite character, Susan Lewis. Sherry, I enjoyed your acting and character so much (not just because your character and I had the same name). I loved your wit and you brightened the screen. I felt you were cheated out of a decent exit arc, when all it consisted of was a "one liner" announcement from Kerry. You deserved more...

Goran told a dutch journalist that he is leaving ER

short version:

* he was nineteen when he went in the army (voluntary)
* he's a big smoker (but less then when he lived in Croatia)
* He's definitely quiting ER in season 13 (after 8 years)
* he collects swords
* How he won a lawsuit against a Croatian magazine,
They claimed that he wasn't paying any rent and he only got
the part of Luka because he knows Branko Lustig
(producer: "The peademaker,...)
* ...

Goran hasn't said at all that he's leaving the show for sure. That sounds like they're just paraphrasing from old interviews. I could list all of the reasons why, but for one, he quit smoking last year, as he stated in a Croatian article written while he was vacationing in Dubrovnik with Maura and her friends.

Okay, I know that this thread is about if Goran is leaving or not, but I have also read somewhere that Maura and Linda are leaving at the end of the season. If this is true then who will be in season 14? (considering that ER will not have Luka, Kerry, Abby and Sam) :wacko:

Sorry for posting my thoughts in here, but I didn't want to open a new thread about Abby and sam leaving. I hope you guys don't mind :)

Maura signed for 14th seasn.

Linda is leaving too?

The theory is that Luka and Sam will go to Croatia for starting the new Kovac Family (sorry, Samka delusional speaking!)
