Sherry Stringfield Leaves "ER"
http://www.tvfodder.com/archives/2005/10/sherry_stringfi.shtml
Granted, she's no Anthony Edwards or Noah Wyle, but Sherry Stringfield 
deserves some kind of goodbye. The TV Squad is reporting that Stringfield 
has checked out of "ER" -- again.
She probably wasn't the ratings grabber that Edwards, Wyle or George Clooney 
was, but it's just not right. Maybe producers figured one goodbye per series 
is all one actor is allotted. After all, Stringfield already had one grand 
exit in 1996, only to rejoin the staff in 2001.

Her part was getting smaller, and frankly, I didn't see her going anywhere 
after she had the baby. But like Laura Innes' Kerry Weaver, I figured she'd 
be popping in from time to time to give everyone crap about how they weren't 
doing something right. Maybe NBC thought no one would notice, with Kristen 
Johnson and John Leguizamo moving in over the coming weeks.

Either way, you can say goodbye to the last original main cast member, 
kiddies. Hold your own vigils, I guess. How ironic that Stringfield is 
currently wrapping a movie called "Gone." Good for her, although the only 
name that I recognize in the cast in the guy that played Newman on 
"Seinfeld," so make your own judgments.

"ER" is currently in its 11th season and still running strong, every 
Thursday at 10:00 p.m. (EST) on NBC. -- Rachel Cericola
