"We never really had a celebration. We had Christmas parties and season wrap parties, but there was never a sense of closure to the thing," Noah Wyle, who played Dr. John Carter for 11 seasons, said. "People left the show and I kept working. I left the show and other people came on. There was never a collective sense of 'it's done.' That's what tonight is about."
The "ER" series finale airs tonight at 9 p.m., preceded by a retrospective at 8 p.m. on NBC. A lot of former cast members, including Noah, will be back for the final episode of the hospital drama.
"What I love about the show is the show existed to promote social causes and issues of social justice and poverty. Things that are not so much a part of the dialogue on TV any more," says Laura Innes, who played Dr. Kerry Weaver for 10 seasons. "We impacted the culture in a positive way. It sounds dorky, but I love that about it."
"ER" wraps after 15 seasons, during which it won 22 Primetime Emmy Awards and holds the record as the most-nominated series in TV history.
"My heart is breaking for 'ER,'" says John Stamos, who became a series regular in the 13th season as Dr. Tony Gates. "It was a staple on television. Nothing like it will happen again."
