Elaine Nichols

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ER Discussions : One Thread

Is there any chance Rebecca De Mornay will come back to do any more scenes with Carter as Elaine Nichols? It seems like she was the love of his life, and in the whole five episodes where she appeared, they probably had less than 10 minutes together, total. Did TPTB just introduce her character so that they could do a storyline on breast cancer during Breast Cancer awareness month? Anyway, I'd love to see her come back.

I know, I'd love to see her character come back too. It seems she would make an interesting partner for Carter now that he is also scarred-what they both have been through might make a renewed bond between them all the more powerful. Maybe even if they didn't bring her back as a long-term love interest but briefly as someone who helps him deal with what has happened to him--it would make for an interesting thread.

The "love of his life"? What show were you watching? It was a shallow phsical relationship. Same as he always has. Example...Roxanne.

Alice-- where I'm coming from is that it seemed obvious to me that he fell in love with her when he was a kid and never really got over it. If it had just been a crush, he would've been happy to see her again, and laughed at himself afterward, remembering his youthful infatuation. He really seemed to care deeply for Elaine. It may've been just a shallow physical relationship to her-- she said it was, although I can think of several reasons for her to lie. Roxanne is not a good comparison because she chased him down until she caught him; he wasn't really interested in her, but he was low, she was there, she provided comfort. That one was doomed from the start.

Bleah - they had no chemistry. I had trouble, as a viewer, believing they were attracted to each other.

I'd like to see Abby, the pediatric doctor, come back from her fellowship overseas. They were a great couple.

Joann-- then there would be two Abbys. A little confusing.
