Which is my biggest fear, in all honesty.  I mean, they sort of DID
pull a 7th Heaven already, since this WAS supposed to be ER's final
season, if not for the writer's strike.  Who's to say they won't find
a creative way to pull another stunt similar to this season's no-
cancellation-after-all stunt?

Having said what I did above about how this season was supposed to be
ER's last, I agree with you completely that the number of episodes
left in this particular season would NOT have been enough eps to
successfully and legitimately end several of the storylines already in
play.

>=A0Yes, Abby's, but also Pratt's, Neela's and Gates's, for starters.
