It’s Official

The final episode of ER will air on January 17th. This isn’t the final show of the season (or is it?) But it is the final show that was shot before the Writer’s Strike.

I’ve done quite a bit of blogging on the strike as of late. The main reason being is that the writer’s strike seems to hold a large weight over whether or not this really is the last season of ER. Right now message boards and fan groups are going wild over the new life that has been breathed into ER. After a number of blah seasons and even last season’s cliffhanging by TPTB, many would have thought that ER had actually been pulled off of life support.

Not so! In fact ER not only seems to have been brought back to life with some sort of miracle but it has also revived the belief of thousands of ER fans that this really is the best medical drama on television. As much as I love Grey’s Anatomy and House, I would love to see them wrap up 300 episodes with the kind of pinache that ER was able to do.

Still the last episode shot of ER causes fans to worry about the future of the characters. Many of the show’s storylines are still left to be resolved.

1. Abby - Will she be able to kick her drinking problem… Again? Many are speculating that with the return of Noah Wyle for a number of episodes, he will be the one to bring her back to sobriety as he did before.

2. Ray-Neela - Are they really over? fans of the Ray/Neela romance are hoping to see a final reunion with the two and a confirmation of their love for each other.

3. Would the ER close for good? Through every season the underlying message is just how costly it can be to run an ER and the cuts that are made without compromising patient care.

What are your unanswered storylines or questions about the future status of the ER?
