It's an, er, cliffhanger

Last night's conluding episode of ER rolled out with more cliffhangers than a typical Shortland Street Christmas climax. Neela and Sam both seemed to be taking a hike out of Country General, though as they're both new this year, it seems unlikely either have managed to get out of their five-year contracts. My real concern is for Chen, who's only storyline this year has seen her nursing her sick, strict dad who was forced to come to Chicago as there were no hosiptals near his village in China. Now, following a road-rage shooting and drive-off, Chen, Pratt and some extra were last seen careening towards the camera before a quick fade to black. Seeing as how Pratt commands a third place in the credits, if anyone's going to croak it must be Chen. And who will care? Bring back Leslie Bibb as Blonde Doctor Number Seven, that's what I say. Kind of.
