Stars of the hit TV series "ER" ditched their scrubs for red-carpet attire to attend a posh Hollywood wrap party. Laura Innes who played Dr. Kerry Weaver on the show expressed her excitement.."I just feel like wow... This is a gas... It's just a great time."
Cast members past and present were among the hundreds on hand for this goodbye bash.
Ellen Crawford who played nurse Lydia Wright was one of those in attendance.
"It's exciting... a little sad... It's very bittersweet, I have a little tear. It's been a great run."
The show's executives also shared some final thoughts... "Thank you for everything you've done all these years." Meanwhile, a video tribute and a wall of photos highlighted some of the show's memorable moments.
One section of this posh Hollywood nightclub has been transformed into the "ER" set. These are actual props from the show where guests can have their picture taken.
After 15 years on the air... The staff at County General will do their final rounds this week. The upcoming 2-hour series finale will feature some of show's original cast members. Several have already made their farewell appearances.
Parminder Nagra who played Dr. Neela Rasgotra had some thoughts on the return of a very famous original cast member. "I think my grin needed to be peeled off my face when Clooney walked through the doors... I think that was a bit of a thrilling moment!"
Executive Producer John Wells wrote the finale without his longtime friend and the show's creator Michael Crichton... who passed away in November. "It was a nice way to reconnect... talking about the ideas, the characters. He was sort of there with me again. "
And cast members also got to reconnect and reflect on the show that has changed so many lives. Noah Wyle who played Dr. John Carter explains how unique the show was for him. "I don't think I'll ever have that kind of ease or comfort on a set again."
The series finale airs this Thursday on WKYC and NBC.
