     The medical drama ER just won't die. It now looks likely
     the series will return for its 15th season with "new 
     characters coming in as interns and medical students", 
     according to producer David Zabel. Maura Tierney and 
     Goran Visnijc will be leaving through the revolving door
     and former ER star Noah Wyle will return for a guest 
     appearance this season. "It's not the traditional exit,"
     Zabel hints of the departure of their characters, Abby 
     and Luka. "They're not walking off into the sunset, nor
     is it tragic."

Probably leaving the "revolving door" open for their possible return
later, or maybe there will be a spin-off show: "The Abby & Luka Show"
or perhaps "ER: Croatia".  ;-) 

New characters when the show is ending could also be setting up a
possible spin-off show.
