For all us St. Elsewhere fans out here in whats-a-neilson-rating land, how about a round of applause for Ellen Bry, who plays insane nurse Shirley Daniels on S.E.? For an actress who is aware that her days on the show are numbered, she is giving one hell of a performance. I hope those jerks at NBC who are making these cast changes are eating theIr words about ratings; the show is still at it's greatest when it's centered around one of the original cast members. Does anyone know what's happened to the actors/actresses who have been removed from the show? I'm hoping to see Peter White or Wendy Armstrong pop up elsewhere. Excuse the pun. M.

AFTER he was dead?)? However, NBC had nothing to do with Bry (or anyone else, to my knowledge) leaving the show. The writers and producers of St. Elsewhere just decided to cut the list of regulars down, to concentrate on others. I find it particularly intresting, because on this show, it's fully possible that a major character may completely change character, or leave, or die, with little warning (rather like life). Or come back to haunt you in your dreams... >Does anyone know what's happened to the actors/actresses who have been >removed from the show?

ELSEWHERE, HILL STREET and V being swapped around like crazy. The fellow who played Norman Bates on V was a shrink on HSB a week or two back, Terrance Knox, who played Peter White, was on V, and I keep hearing that Carla from CHEERS is going to have her baby at St. Eligius. The latter rumor, to be truly all-encompassing, should begin with Carla being given a police escort to the hospital by Hill & Renko. And the kid should be half-human, half-lizard (which Carla will say is perfectly normal for her brood...).

Actually, the latest is that Coach's death will be handled in a St. Elsewhere cross-over. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!osiris!eric
