You Ask, I Answer: 'ER's' Carter Needs a Kidney Transplant?, Plus 'Secret Life' & '90210'
Today: A super quick Q&A with just a few questions re: ER, Secret Life of the American Teenager and 90210...
Korbi, if Carter's not hooked up to a dialysis machine, does he have cancer? Please say no. If they kill him off I will hurt the writers. -Jennifer
I did some further investigating and that was, in fact, a dialysis machine we saw in last week's final ER scene. I'm sorry if I scared you, that was my bad as I was just speculating. Now here is what I've been told: Carter is currently waiting on a kidney transplant, but before the organ arrives, an old friend/mentor/tormentor will turn up. Eriq La Salle will soon reprise his role as Dr. Benton, surfacing right around the time Carter really needs some help.
Of course ER is going to kill Carter. That's what this show does. They kill people. They're sick. -D
I cannot believe they would bring sweet-faced Noah Wyle back just so they can off him. That would really be cruel, a slap in the face to longtime fans.
You haven't talked about Secret Life of the American Teenager in a while. Are you watching? Give me some couples dirt. Will Adrian stick with the celibacy thing? -Carla
Will Adrian stick with the celibacy thing? Um, no. Not for long. And neither will Anne Juergens. Yes, Amy's mom is getting some action. Sort of ironic how her new job working at the hot dog counter really put a smile on her face, huh? I think they call that foreshadowing.
No new 90210 on tonight? -CJ
Weirdly, 90210 won't air a fresh episode for over a month. The show returns March 31st, but I have scoop to tide you over in the meantime: Remember how I told you Naomi's shady older sister Jen will grace Beverly Hills with her presence this Spring? Well, it seems she'll catch the eye of a certain West Bev teacher by the name of Ryan, who doesn't at first realize what a psycho she is...

I'm trying hard to keep up with 90210 - I'm love Kelly Taylor being back and Brenda too - but I'm finding these extended hiatuses (over christmas and for the digital switchover) hard to take. I always seem to lose the urge to watch the show the more weeks it doesn't air original epis!
And a quick question about the secret life if that's okay cause I haven't read anything much about it... are the writers planning on including Molly Ringwalds pregnancy or will she have the twins when the shows not filming?
Thanks Korbi, as always!
Is Ade getting married on 90210?
Thanks for the "further investigating", the update, and the much, much needed re***urance! JOHN CARTER LIVES...and he's bringing back Dr. Benton with him...holla!!!
Why does he say to Banfield- The reason I wanted to work here was to meet you? What exactly is meant by this?
Plus is the Carter Foundation already up and running or what?
I hope Angela will have a good role in the last episodes as well and they don't just write her off, because Carter is back.
I really cant wait for Thursday's episode. I stopped watching a few years back (4 or 5?) but have started watching the reunion episodes. Suh-weet!
I think it would be a fitting tribute to the show if Benton and Carter wound up being matches and Benton donated a kidney to Carter. After everything those two went through together, I would think it would "sew up" the ends of their stories nicely.
Thanks for the info on Carter. I literally screamed when I saw him hooked up to that machine!
I actually yelled at the screen when I saw this. I was thinkin, ER just loves to kill my favorite doctors, ie: Green and Pratt. I mean c'mon Pratt didn't have to die this year. It wasn't even as emotional as it could have been.
I am ecstatic at hearing the news that Eriq LaSalle will be in front of the camera when we see him next on ER. He did direct an episode recently and that was the episode that aired not soon after Michael Crichton p***ed. This show has been like a dear friend to me these past 15 years and I am going to miss ER. George Clooney is such a cl***y guy. Despite all of his post ER success, he's coming back. Mr. Clooney you have a fan for life.
Yeah, I have to agree with Christopher. I am so on board with the reunion episodes, glad that everyone is coming back inc doug ross and carol hathaway and benton. The episode eriq la salle directed was for me one of the best i have seen in a long time in e.r. and that's made me ever hopeful that these last will be the best. The episode he directed was episode 6 where mark green was present in flashbacks. It was a very moving episode, and I can't wait to see everyone back again. Yay for Carter, and I soooo like the idea of Benton giving Carter his kidney!
