Firing Eve on Christmas Eve...

Mm.. quite interesting Christmas episode. Like usually, some nice sining and the song sang by Haleh and Morris - it was really beautiful. And then the case with little girl, the usual Christmas case - to remind us and show the tragedy and the irony of the life.

On anything else.. They really get read of Eve. Somehow I am happy about that, but in the end, they really managed to show us that there is so much humane in her too. So, it was little weird, open her more up, make us interested but then, get read of her. Not that I will miss her at all.moreless

i love this show, i\'ve seen every single one of the chapters during this past 12 seasons. I am still sad cause Dr. Green died. He was one of my favorites characthers, he was always neutral and took smart and tough choices. He was just the best there, after him is Dr. John Truman Carter, i just love this guy, he\'s the best of the series, and my always predilect female doctor, Susan Lewis. I\'ve been in love with her and her voice since day one. ER it\'s just the best tv show ever, just the best. My dad is a doctor, and one time i sat him down with me to watch the show and there was a guy who was diying in the ER table, and Dr. Green was working on him asking for meds and drugs, and my dad was so excited that when the couldn\'t save him, he started to cry, he though it was a real life show, that it was actually happening that. That can tell you how good this show is. Thanks.moreless

Wow Abby is pregnate ... I am sure I have seen this before?
I like the storyline though and I hope they decide to keep the baby. It could make for some more interesting storylines.

It is excellent to see Haleh getting some storylines and I hope they keep it up. She is the only original cast member left even though she has never been a main character.

I love the Christmas episodes but there didn't seem to be as much drama as usual.

I don't really get the character Clemente???

Yeahy Eve has gone, she never really suited "ER" to me and didn't seem to fit in.moreless

Characters not acting as they should, no interesting storylines and the start of a whole new era for The Abby Lockart Show. Sorry, I mean ER.

"Poor"

By Ting13, Apr 25, 2006 Report Abuse

ER is really going downhill. This episode was a bore, there were no interesting patients, no good storylines, no nothing.

I\'ll miss Eve. The show needed someone like her to spark things up, all the characters are so DULL now. I hope they bring her back. I really didn\'t like HOW they got rid of her, it was too undignified for a character like Eve and I didn\'t buy it.

Clemente\'s storyline didn\'t feel much like Clemente either. I don\'t know what they want out of this character really, at first he seemed to be the straighten-the-ER-up guy, then he turned into the new-methods-which-don\'t-work guy and now he\'s the sleeze-ball guy? Make up your minds for crying out loud, or at least be consistant. He can have all these characteristics but the show goes with one at a time. \"This episode his is like so, and his other traits are gone\". And what\'s that lame storyline with his ex girlfriend whose cop husband is going to chase her down? What is he, the mob?

Haleh trying to find someone to sing with her was mildly amusing at first but turned into a lame storyline as well. We\'ve seen some of the characters on staff sing in previous episodes and sing well, so why go with Morris and turn the mike off? Just for laughs, really cheap.

And let\'s not even talk about the Abby Lockhart Show... From what I understand Maura Tierny is not pregnant. \"Let\'s pull a Friends and throw a baby in to mark who we love the most - yaaaay\". Seriously, can\'t they drop a helicopter on Abby and focus on the GOOD characters on the show instead?

Abby pregnant! what a shocker! And Eve FIRED! AWESOME!

Luka and Abby are getting closer and closer, spending Christmas together and more.....i love Luka and Abby together i really hope this works out for them. They seem to have this connection, like the compass"it seems we always find each other" . I love Luka with Abby and Sam and Luka so did not work and they never will. Luka and Abby dont have a communication problem like Luka and Sam.

I really enjoyed this episode.moreless
