Just read in the paper yesterday that Mark Harmon wants out of his St. Elsewhere contract to develop his movie career. He will be "written out of the show in late November". Perhaps that could even be THIS week. Looks like we may have that suicide someone suggested earlier... SJBerry

I had heard that he was going to have an affair with a woman that has AIDS, and that he will die from that. Maybe, maybe not; just what I heard.

By putting an X on the mirror with shaving cream after removing his bandages is that not a big hint? It is getting pretty close to the end of November and I think something very bizarre wil happen in his suicide if it was anything like his accident with his "pick up". Maybe he will just kill himself or maybe he will pick up the same girl that got him with the razor before and she will finish him. Can never tell about these things but from your article SJBerry he is going one way or another. BBates

The report I heard is that he will contract AIDS from a heterosexual encounter.

BTW, the slashing of Bobby Calldwell by a woman wielding a razor blade between her teeth is not original to St. E. I first saw it in a gritty cop movie (I think the title was Blue Knights - no flames please) starring Paul Newman and Ed Asner. The movie may have inspired HSB, as it had the same noisy, bustling, semi-cynical view as HS. Anyway, in the movie, this hooker was seriously into drugs, and got her jollies by slashing her johns with a razor held between her teeth, "when they least expected it." She came to a bad end, though, when she tried her little prank with a fella who took exception, and proceeded to stick her in the tummy several times with a shiv. She ended up rolled up in a roll of carpet, dumped in a vacant lot. (And of course, the cops never did solve the mystery of the razor slasher).

The article also said he will continue to appear on the show until February. Wasn't the show that aired on Nov. 20 a lot of fun? I really have to compliment the writers for all their clever TV references, particularly to other MTM productions. For those of you who didn't see it, a mental patient at the hospital became convinced he was Mary Richards from the old MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW. He was going around calling everyone on the show by names from the MTM SHOW. Betty White, who played Sue Ann Nivens on MTM, was making a guest appearance on ST. ELSEWHERE as a character introduced in a previous episode, Nancy Reagan's personal physician. When this mental patient saw her he said, "Sue Ann! Sue Ann Nivens." And she looked at him strangely and said, "I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else." Aside from this very obvious reference, I caught a couple of others: (1) Betty White's character was at the hospital to check on an astronaut who had developed paralysis in the previous episode. When she greeted him she said, "Commander Healy at NASA sends his best wishes." An obvious reference to Maj. Roger Healy, the astronaut from I DREAM OF JEANNIE. Also, the same guy who played Roger Healy appeared for several years on the old BOB NEWHART SHOW, which was also an MTM production. (2) One of Bob Newhart's recurring patients on his old show was a Mr. Carlin, who was always saying bizarre and insensitive things in psychoanalysis. The same character reappeared on ST. ELSEWHERE as one of the fellow mental patients in the hospital. I loved it.

You see her leave it out on her pillow in the scene just before Bobby comes into the room. -- UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!dday Dennis Doubleday CSNet: dday@umcp-cs University of Maryland ARPA: dday@gymble.umd.edu College Park, MD 20742 Fan of: Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, OU Sooners (301) 454-4247

Did everyone pick up on the fact that the face slasher started acting
like a vampire only after she entered the "haunted" house? Dr Plastic
never did learn the story behind the house's reputation (at least on
camera).
I took a long look at the weapon with the freeze frame button on my
VCR. It was definitely a mirror.
Too bad the Cape Cod incident is over. I wanted to see more of Billy
Newman.

I'm afraid the movie your looking for was Fort Apache, The Bronx and the drug crazed hooker was Pam Greer. Of course the guy she had wasn't as lucky. -Rob -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Robert Mee Boston University Academic Computer Center | | | | UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!rem | | ARPA: rem%bu-cs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa | | CSNET: rem@bu-cs | +------------------------------------------------------------------%
