Just a few dumb little questions... When does "the public" find out for sure who is leaving and who is staying? I've read that contract negotiatons are being held this month. But when are the final results officially announced? Anyone know? ![]() Sue

I don't think it works like that, they doesn't have to be an announcement or anything... they kept LI's exit extremely quiet, which means it's possible we'd hear nothing of an actor leaving, except through spoiler sources, until the week of the episode. |

I would put some shipper message here, but I'm just not *that* kind of fan... Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. Animadvertistine, ubicumque stes, fumum recta in faciem ferri? | |

Well, I think we're all fairly sure that Goran will leave at the end of this season. But he might surprise us! I had heard about this interview before, but had never seen it (if you want to call it "seeing it" with dial-up Internet - with 2 seconds at a time showing! )This was taped 3 months ago. Goran, as usual, never says absolutely that he's leaving ER. In one part of the interview he said, "You never know!" I agree with Liana. The only way we might find out ahead of time is if it slips out in a spoiler. I thought that TPTB would be a little more forthcoming with major news of a star's leaving, instead of shocking the fans with it. I was extremely surprised when Laura Innes almost disappeared before our eyes. I still can't believe she's gone! So who knows what TPTB and the stars of the show "have up their sleeves" for the rest of the season? Who knows if any of the longer term actors/actresses will be around by the end of the season? It's anybody's guess...
I would have liked to be able to prepare myself (get Kleenex, etc.) for someone's exit arc. Sue

translation "24 sata" (credit blueprofrondbleu profrond AzizalSaqr) From my friend Tommy in Zagreb...get the tissues ready..here is the translation Good-bye ER Goran Visnjic, As we hear from his friends, actors from Zagreb that he talks on the phone alot, has refused to re-sign the contract for new ER episodes. Visnjic has been with the show since 1999 when he landed the part after the producers saw him in the movie "Welcome to Sarajevo", made by actual events on the war in Bosnia. When he told them he won't be re-signing the contract, the producers offered to raise his fee, but Visnjic has remained firm with his decission to leave ER after 167 filmed episodes. He thinks that playing the same part for so long would damage his career and he's also longing for movie roles. He did a couple of movies during the break, but as it's the case, during the summer break nobody's making any movies and he had to decline many good offers, because he spent more then 10 months on the set of ER filming the show. The similar thing happened to his famous coleague George Clooney with his role of Doug Ross on ER turned him into a a superstar. In period from 1994. - 2000. Clooney filmed 108 episodes of ER and after leaving the show he maintained a sucessfull career on the film. He was shocked after getting the part of Dr. Luka Kovac. Goran Visnjic said at one point how difficult it was for him to comprehand all the medical terms in English. He said how extremly popular ER was in Croatia at the time. - When my agent called, I asked him: "Are we talking about the same show"? I thought about it for half of a second and then I said: "Yes, ofcourse". |

Well, I guess that makes it official, as far as I'm concerned. I will really, really miss him - ER just won't be the same without him. But I can't say I'm surprised. After 8 years at ER, I'm sure he wants to move on with his life. I wish him all the luck in the world.Has anyone heard any concrete news about Maura? If she stays for next season, then I would think that the "Luby" relationship is going to come to an end and knowing TPTB, it will not be a happy one. Why would they get married in Croatia, only to have Abby come back to Chicago? Granted, she will want to finish her residency, but I can't see any reason why she would go back to Croatia. She wants to be a doctor, but she does not speak the language. And if it's true that Linda Cardellini is leaving too, they will have lost some of their very best actors/actresses. Laura Innes left. Heck, you don't even see lots of minor characters anymore - Jerry (of course, he left to be in "Men in Trees"), Frank, Malik, etc. I will continue to watch ER but for the medical stories only! But I wonder if losing all these people, if the show will be able to maintain the terrific ratings it had this year. They have no leading man to be Head of the ER. Pratt and Morris only became Attendings this year, and don't have the experience yet. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but with Goran gone, there will be a huge gap. Susan

I just saw Goran on the Today show promoting tonight's episode. When they asked him about his leaving or staying on ER he just smiled and said: 'Let's not talk about that." He also said that they are scouting locations in Feb. for filming in Croatia for episodes that will air in May. |

Maybe he said that because the producers are practically begging him to stay, and he's not fully sure yet. I hope he stays for one more season! |

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was trying to "kick Goran out the door". But I based my assumption that he was leaving from the website where the article was first published. The people who were saying he was leaving are close friends of Goran, and they confirmed that ER's producers did offer him a large amount of money to stay. They said Goran did not budge. Believe me, I hope I'm wrong - I really do, especially since I wanted the Croatian wedding and happy ending too. I've heard that Maura is signed for Season 14, but haven't heard any details about her contract.Is Season 14 the last season of ER? Who knows? If the show continues to have very high ratings, TPTB may decide to continue it on. As I said before, after losing so many excellent people from the show, it would be hard to maintain those ratings. Who knows? All we really know for absolute sure is that we don't know anything for absolute sure. Sue |

er is doing really well right now, and if Goran leaves, it will really kill the ratings. one big star a season is enough. I think he should just stay on for a little longer, atleast until they have really grounded the other charaters, so that when he leaves people will miss him, but still look forward to watching, kind of like what they did with Laura. |

Yes, it's me again - old "gloom and doom". I'm sorry - I'll keep it short. There's something I don't understand... Goran would not talk about the subject of his leaving ER in one of his recent interviews. Why? I'm sure he is leaving - he's told people and legitimate publications in Croatia. Why not here? Goran doesn't seem to be the type of guy who "plays games" with people (i.e. his fans) and just leaves everyone hanging to tease them. I wonder if TPTB told him to not say anything until the February sweeps are through, for fear the news would lose viewers even before he is gone! I have nothing against Maura Tierney. She is a fine actress and I like how she has shaped her character as Abby. But I really wish she would leave the same time as Goran, so we could have a happy ending arc (the finale - a wedding in Croatia). With Maura staying on, that means that the Luka character has to die. Luka would never be separated from Abby and Joe for any reason in this life. I can just visualize another season (14) full of angst and misery for Abby, the mourning widow, raising a child alone. I have never seen a character in a primetime show who has suffered such a horrible personal life. I will continue to watch ER, as I said before, but I think I'll hit the "mute" button when the "Abby Angst" starts up. I'm done. Sue
