Character's ages

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ER Discussions : One Thread

I know someone recently asked about the actors ages, but does anyone know how old the character's are? I know Carter's birthday is June fourth, 1970 (he said so in the first season, in the eppy after "Love's Labour Lost"), but what about the other 11 (or twelve, thirteen, ect. if you know how old Lucy, Doug, Susan, or someone was) cast members? Thank You!

In the Season 3 episode "Make A Wish," it is Carol's birthday. Unfortunately, I don't believe they mentioned her age (though, upon seeing the number of candles, she made a comment, "What am I? Fifty- five?").

I think I heard Lucy say that she was 26 and Carter replied he was 28.

Actually, Lucy is 24. Didn't she tell Valerie that? And 24 would sound about right anyway. You graduate college at 21 and she's a 3rd year med student, so that makes her 24. Probably 25 by now actually. And Carol and Abby should both be about 32 or 33. Carol stated last year (in The Storm Part 2, I think) that she's been working at County for 10 years. So her being in her early 30s sounds about right. And I've read in some articles that Abby had been an OB nurse for 10 years as well.

If memory serves, Carol should be 32 or 33 (she graduated high school in 85)...she was talking with Maggie and mentioned that and Maggie said that she graduated in 88, making her 2

Assuming she didn't skip grades or anything, Lucy probably graduated college at 21 or 22. Typically medical students start clinical rotations in their third and fourth years (since she started rotations last year, this should be her fourth year), so, assuming she started medical school right after collge, she would be 25 or 26. Hope this makes sense!

In "Full Moon Saturday Night" (episode 20) Carter says his birthday is June 4, 1970, which makes him 29 at the moment
