i wanted to know if anyone is getting married on the show this year? good luck to you! er is the best!!!

I love the show, Joe can you add to your script something about immigrants and how we have brought goodness in the United States, something positive to show the world that we are hard working people.

are we going to see what Ross and family are up to at this point?

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching ER...I don't watch much TV but reserve this hour for me. My question to all of the cast is this...are any of you Christians? I pray for all of you...your real lives...God Bless each of you.

if you could bring back georg clooney would you bring back his girl friend and the twins?

I cannot access the past episodes online for some reason, pleeeez update me on where DR Kovach is? im so confused but i looove the show!

I love the show. I love the whole cast, Neela and Abby most of all. But I would love to see you introduce more strong women to the cast.

Will there be any female additions coming soon?

My finance has been in Iraq since jan 2007. It was great to reconize the fact that we are at war. I just wanted to say thank you E.R. You made me feel not so alone tonight..

Is this going to start anytime soon? :(

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching ER...I don't watch much TV but reserve this hour for me. My question to all of the cast is this...are any of you Christians? I pray for all of you...your real lives...God Bless each of you.

You are the REASON for watching the show Parminder...you bring a vast intensity & realism to all your story lines...you seem like an old soul..I'm curious WHAT music do you listen to???

I think the actor who plays Dr. Crenshaw is fantastic. And super cute, too! What's it like working with him?

I'd like to become a nurse. Do you have any advice for me?

Hi Parminder, I was pulling through for your character tonite. You are a vital part of the show. I even at one time worked in a ER as admitting clerk like Frank! I have been a long time viewer.

Pass along this message to everyone from ER.....GREAT SHOW TONIGHT! As I am sure the rest of the season will be too. Looking foward to it:)

I hope Luka and Abby, Lubby gets to go on their honeymoon..
I really hope that they stay together because they already have been through a lot and they disserve to be together.

I WILL NEVER POST ON THIS SITE AGAIN NOW I GOT THE PROGRAMERS USING MY WORDS AND SOMEONE ELSE USING MY NAME. THAT IS JUST PLAIN RUDE

I've watched ER since day one & I love your character. My daughter would like to know what it was like to star in the movie "Bend it Like Beckham" and what it's like to work with John Stamos! You are truly one talented actress!

You and John Stamos have great on screen chemistry.

Oh my gosh! Where to start? I have forever been a soccer and E.R. fan. Being only 20 I was pretty young when E.R. first aired but my mom let me watch it even then and I have forever been addicted. I saw you in Bend it Like Beckham and have actually had to get a new one cause I watched it too many times, but when I heard you were coming to E.R. I was so psyched! I am planning on going into the medical field, so I love watching the drama as it unfolds! I think you are an amazing actress and I hope that you continue to act for a very long time! Would love to hear from you, newmrr13@uwgb.edu
Thanks and keep up the great work!

WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I POST SOMETHING IT COMES OUT UNDER A DIFFERENT PERSONS NAME BUNS IS A NICK NAME WHAT IS GOING ON APRIL DID NOT POST THE COMMENT ABOUT HAVING A BIG REUNION OF THE OLD GUEST LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL REUNION I DID ALSO I AM FROM CANADA ONTARIO

I was wondering if you ever get involved int he story lines on a personal level?

When will Noah be back this season and is there any chance of a Carby (Carter/Abby) reunion? They brought in high ratings (Over 20 million viewers) while the lowest ratings ever for ER went to the Luby (Luka/Abby) wedding (less than 8 million viewers)!

Will you stay with the series until the end? Will ER last past this season. The current can more than carry this show in spite of others leaving. Do you have a fan club?

GREAT SHOW! gREAT NEW HAIR CUT! LOVE THE SHOW

Hi! I love the show, never miss it! When ER comes on, I send everyone to bed!! Its my time! I have a question, is Luca coming back to ER and what is it like working on the set of ER? Are you going to date anyone this year, or any special plans??

Hello Parminder and Joe, Thank you for doing this show. I know how hard it is: I used to do all that in real life! I DO hope Neela (and others) have positive, happy relationships this season. We need happiness in the ER. Neela needs to marry again.Barb/Ohio

I would like to give a big hand for Dr. Sachs for a great episode and another to Parminder for a great acting and to the cast of ER. That was another intense season premire. I love it. I have a question for Dr. Sachs.
What are the some plains for the ER?
This show is part of my life. Every Thursday I watch it and that includes the reruns. I love the drama and the intense of the show that brings me closer and so the hated characters. But I love all of them. Is there any chance that ER will be here for another 5 to 6 years? Or maybe just enough to reach 400 episodes like Law and Order?

Whats the job of being the excuitve producer and writer of a greatest show be like?

Please Keep up the intense and drama up. And I hope that you carry the ER tradition.

Thank you for your work as writer and tell Mr. Zabel that he has a mind of a doctor, likely.

Two Thumbs up!
Thank you,
One of ER's biggest fan.

Hi Neela
Love you on the show!!
I teach CPR, maybe the show can do an episode with the cast getting CPR renewed to keep up with the changes in CPR. The show can hire me ! anytime! I am Available.
Heidi from california.
P.S. cant wait till I see the show tonight.

Are you ever affected personally by things you do as "Neela"?

Kudos to you and all the cast and everyone who works on ER - its a great show and I look forward to another great season!

Hey there, love the show and love you. I always have enjoyed your storylines since you first came to ER. You are awesome. Love Abby too. You all really make the show seem so real. Best wishes on another great season. I'll be watching once again. KUDOS

Dear Parminder,

hey whad up? i am so excited! I love you in ER and bend it, you are sooo beautiful, i am a newly wed and my husband Manuj finishing his medical internship. We both love your show. I wish you all the best, do u listen punjabi music, i love your brit accent
chak de phatte Parminder!

Love the show. Big fan since first season. Parminder, you're excellent!!!

Question: Any topics off limit in writing the show?

this is absolutely hands-down the best show on tv. i've watched it for years and i have never been disappointed. i do miss carrie. i'm not sure where she is. i didn't think i'd missed an episode. i always love the new characters. Neela has been one of my favorites. she is simply breath-taking. i love the relationship she developed with abby, who is one of my favorite characters. honestly, i don't even think of them as characters anymore. i'm so involved in each one's on-screen life that they could be my friends! neela has come to be such an important part of the show and i love how so many others love her. the wedding night was the greatest when she got kissed! i would give anything to be an extra on the show just once. i really hope we don't lose anyone this
season! i'm gonna stop now because i could never say enough about ER. I will be positively devastated when it finally goes off air. please don't ever stop filming this show! there will never be another as great as this.

What is your favorite thing to do as a staff after work. I work in the medical field and we try to go out together for a drink at least every couple weeks.

Parminder your name is beautiful does it mean any thing?

I would like to give a big hand for Dr. Sachs for a great episode and another to Parminder for a great acting and to the cast of ER. That was another intense season premire. I love it. I have a question for Dr. Sachs.

I love you .

hi tell me how long do u think u stay on er and do u have any other stuff in the work does ur family mind u working long hours i think u are very cut e lady

Hello, Will Neela get a boyfriend? Who will it be? I enjoy ER very much.

i was a paramedic in the army i am impressed with the realism of the show

I was just looking threw some of the pictures of the old cast members. I'm wondering if there will ever be a reunion of all the old cast members? kinda like a high school reunion. best of luck from Canada Ontario

i loved the show tonight you guys were great.
Parminder you were great…
Maura you were also great, I love Abby and Luka, they are my favorite character in the show, I hope you and goran don’t live e.r.

I love all you guys!!! I ahve been watching since season 1. I thought for sure you and Shane West were gonna hook up. I was so disappointed. I was on the edge of my seat tonight. I know you pull through because you are NEELA!!! Great job to you and everyone !!! I LOVE ER !!!!

Love the show...long time follower...amazing how it keeps going...Parminder...we all love your character as does the cast.

Thankyou all for an incredible show

I am the Biggest Fan. I have been watching ER since it frist came on..I hope that it will continue on.

Hello Parminder, even on the operating table you're still a beautiful and very attractive woman.

LOVED the show and Love YOU! ! ! You are terrific - hope you recover fully from that surgery! ! ! ! yuk!

I don't get it. Did the fireworks guy that blew his hand off die?
Love the new chief character by the way. Good actor too.

hi Parminder aka neela! u were great on tonights show! i enjoyed every minute of it. I appreciate ur work, keep it up!

Hi Mrs. Nagra,
I love ER and your character. I have worked in the medical field for many years and am now switching to law enforcement. But will never stop watching ER. I have learned a lot from it and look forward to many more lessons and episodes.
Thanks,
Wendee

Hi Parminder. I just watched Bend It Like Beckham for the first time this summer and loved it. In it your character had been burned as a child, and my friend mentioned that it was actually based on your own experiences. I don't remember it ever coming up on ER, and wondered if it ever would become part of your character (if it is based on your personal experience).

I am a huge, huge fan of the show - especially of Abby Lockhart.. I LOVE HER!! I wa sjust wondering if the two of you are as good of friends as Abby and Neela? Can you tell me how she is in real life? : )

as a fellow indian and a physician, hats off to you! I really enjoy the show and am glad that you're not leaving... keep up the great work!

GREAT SHOW TONIGHT I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL SUMMER.

im only 18 years old and this is the beginning of my 9th season of devotion. Your character is strong and reminds me of Alex Kingston's character Dr. Corday. I enjoy your acting. One question, who has been your favorite co-star to act with? Who is a big influence on your acting? Thanx

I love your work and the character you play. And I know I will not be agreed with. But I think your character should be with Pratt

Hey Pammi
Tussi Great Punjab Ki Shaan

Pls email me deepti@swbell.net
I love you and hope you stays fforever in ER and many more fun projects for TV

Hi geat show I am an R.N. 31 years. Have watched show since beginning. Ever need an extra would love to be one.

Will Tony ever return to the show? Will him and Nella ever see each other again?

This episode of er was as tense as the red sox game tonight. The end put tears in my eyes. The "family" together again in a crisis. I know it's a good one if I cry and that doesn't happen often enough. Keep up the good work.

Hi Parminder
Happy to see you on the show, with many cast changes over the years I hope you continue on for a while. Too many changes is not good for a show! I hope you get to be incharge soon on the show in your career. I enjoy the show very much. Thanks for a good job on ER. and Say Hi to all the cast. I myself have been in medicine for over 20 yrs and now teach Medical Assisting, Billing, CPR, First Aid. Heidi

Hello Parminder & Dr. Sachs:
excellent opener for the new season!
question for Parmindra:
is your Character going to be romantically involved again?

Hello Parminder,
I love watching ER and you and Maura are my favorites. I am trying to get into veterinary school and its cool to be able to understand some of the medical terms that you are using in the show. ER gets better and better. You are the best!!

Great show, my favorite from the first season!! I have always wondered, do you have real doctors reviewing scripts to make sure everything is accurate? It is so believable, either your writers are doctors themselves or someone reads alot of medical journals;)

Hi Parminda,
I want Neela and Ray together again, don't you?
kisses
Tassia

At the end of this show, where everyone gathers waiting for news of their friend, kinda seemed like the episode where Carter and Lucy were stabbed. Everyone was at Doc Magoose awaiting news. What do u think?

Also, will Shane West ever come back? He and Neela need to FINALLY be with each other.

I've been a fan for so long. You guys are doing an awesome job.

Parminder, I think you are an AMAZING actress. I'm a theatre major, and I hope that I can be as amazing as u.

Good Evening Parminder,

I just finished crying from tonights episode! Very emotional. And I too hope that Neela gets better. I feel that your character is a very important piece of the show! I have watched ER since day one and it only get better and better! I truly love your work on the show! Keep up the excellent work!
Love Ya and God Bless
Tonya

Hey Parminder!!!

Loved you tonight!

I was wondering if your role on ER has affected your daily life outside the show?

how is it working with john stamos, and shane west? i love them both......... shane is my favorite........... i would of love to see nila with ray............. but thanks for bringing the best you guys have.......... i love the show, i'm even going back to school for nursing ............ love you guys .............. God Bless...............

Love love love you on ER! Devastated about Ray but you are a great part of ER and so happy you and Abby are pals. Can't wait to see what this season has. Already moved to tears tonight!

FANTASTIC episode! Thank you for the entertainment!=D

Ok let me begin by saying that I absolutely love this show. I have been a fan from the very beginning. I still watch old reruns on TNT . I think it so sad that we lost Shane West on the show; i just loved the interaction Neela and Ray had. I so think they should have ended up together. I know Neela has many admirers at the hospital. is she going to choose one of these suitors and find happiness again.

We lost alot of good people on ER but it still holds my attention. I think the bomber is dead. His color did not look good, not responsive. He did hurt alot of people. Can not wait until next week. Parminder, I hope you turn out okay.

Dear Parminder,

I am proud punjabi cuz of you, you are awesome and so beautiful! one of my friends say i have beautiful black hair like you when they see on tv. I have been your fan since Bend it like Beckham. you are doing a great job in ER, and make it a can't miss episode. I hope your character gets together With shane WEst's character, would love to see the two of u together. I wanted to know if you watch any indian movies, and who's ur favorite indian actor and favorite movie. Parminder Chake De

Just keep doin the thang that you be doin cause you definatley workin it, aight then ill halla at ya lata and cant wait to see what next thursday has in store for all of us ER'ers

Hi Parminder,
Does your british accent in any way hinder your ability to get traditional indian roles?

Hi Mayday! I am so excited about this. Do you ever get involved in the story line on a personal level?

Parminder, your Neela character is so intense at times... do you sometimes have trouble reverting back to being Parminder off set?

I had an adrenaline rush just watching the episode. The storyline was well written and presented. There were good humored scenes. Good job !

Wow The Season opening was great.I really thought Neela was going to die.Is Shane West going to come back to ER?

I'm really glad the season started out with a "bang" so to speak but I hope you are not planning on leaving so soon.

what happened to parminderonline.com?

wanna go on a date maybe catch a movie or go bowling? then get a bite?

you were great.Planning on any movies

Love love love the show, you're awesome Neela

Parminder,

You rock!! Glad to see Indian women taking on the roles that you have. Proud to call you Indian!

(plus, bet it can't get any better than playing the love interest of John Stamos!!!)

Hmm I wonder why NBC doesn't allow moderated real time chats with the actors and show makers?

Anyways... good show guys! :)

How do you like working with Leland Orser?

you r the hotest thing on tv right now sexy i think i love you

Parminder,
Your role as a prominent character on a major television program is a source of pride to me as a fellow Sikh. Also, as a doctor of medicine myself, I appreciate how you develop the stories beyond the basic ER role of triaging and admitting to the hospital. Just as you show us, the real story is much more than what you initially see or think. I hope you continue your role as long as you would like. Thanks!

Hi Parminder,

I'm curious about your project with Naveen Andrews- the fallen Hero - Have you started work on that project yet and what is he like to work with?

hi Parminder

i herd somewhere that they could be bringing back some of the original cast from the past could that be true and do you like doing movies or being on tv.

what other tv shows or movies have you done?

I love ER i have been watching it since i was a little girl with my dad which is a doctor and im now 18. I'm actually going to school to be a doctor too!
I also love your character on the show!

I've been a fan since the beginning, Sept. 94. Parminder you bring flavor to the ER! What upcoming projects do you have planned?

Just wanted to let you know I am happy to see you pulled through tonight's show. Hope you are planning on sticking around this year.

You are a pretty actor. I would like to know if your character going to get married again?

Hi Parminder!
Hope you're going to do another movie! You were terrific
in "Beckham."

I've been loyal to ER for all 14 seasons and it still keeps me glued to the T.V....Neela's character has been a great addition to the show over the years!

I was wondering, is your job very stressful? and do you love what you do?

Parminder, you are my favorite actress on ER. If you weren't on a medicine-based-drama, what type of film or television would you pursue?

Why can't ER be on the cutting edge for various medical devices like nerve bypasses that will allow paralyzed people to function normally again, pain bypasses to shut down pain signals to the brain, "spiders" that will allow blood to bypass damaged areas, and DNA referencing of babies that will help doctors treat patients for genetic disorders in the future?

Love your character, glad you survived. but please tell me your not going to get involved with that Dr. DeBenko ( or whatever his name is) YUCK!

Great start to the season. Neela is one of my favorite. And very beautiful I may add.

HEY PARMINDER U R THE BEST IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS AND U REALLY BRING A GREAT CHARACTER TO THE SHOW THANKS

great show, don't listen to the haters, some people have no manners. Keep building the caracter, you have grown so much. ER is a great show, keep on keeping on

Hi Perminder! I'm a true fan of yours and ER. You really gave me a scare tonight. We already lost DR. Gallant and that was hard I don't want to lose you also. Keep up the good work and I love the movie Bend it like Beckham.

Been a fan since Bend It. Anything else in the works?

hey your the best i hope you dont die and i hope ur ok well hey email me back soon and u where great in bend it like beckham

Parminder, I've been keeping an eye out for you, but i haven't seen you in any outside projects. What are your plans post-ER?

Last season I enjoyed watching Neela and Ray's relationship evolve. I was so hoping something would come of it. I'm disappointed in the way things turned out. Will Ray be back? I'm glad my Thursday nights will be busy again!

neela u r hot ,
and my question 2 u is what kind of food is ur favorite ??? and ur favorite dish ? well this is for parminder i really think u r beautiful and a wonderful actress hope u continue on er and have a awesome carreer !!

i just wanted to say that your amazing and had an impact on my life! i saw you in bend it like beckham and that movie made me realize how special and amazing the indian culture is. before that i wasnt interested so i just wanted to say Thank you.

The show tonight was great!!! Parminder please don't die, u are awsome in the show, And what happen to shane west and luka. I missed the last episode. I've been watching ER since I was really young my parents got me into it, I'm 21 now and i'm so glad its on i watch reruns at 9 am every morning at work. You guys keep up the great work and I can't wait till next thursday.

Great comment about "the Yellow Room." Had to chuckle a bit. Only a select few will understand.

hey! been watching the show since the beginning. love you. i hope the season ends well with you and john. movies in the future? i hope so. your talents go far beyond tv. loves ya vicki k

Hello Parminder I am a hugh fan of the show and you. I was just wondering if you can tell if sunnier days are in store for you? Will Luca be back on the show as well? I am glad to see that this show is still on air becuase it has been wonderful to be able to see a show that I can count on still being on air. Most shows would not have lasted this long as we see with alot of recent shows but this one has a niche that everyone should invest in, and that is a story line that wont quit. I love the show good luck to everyone and give us some good happy shows please.

Neela and Abby are very close it seems. Are you and Maura that close of friends off camera?

I love ER and love it even more since you've joined it. Its been more entertaining and exciting to watch. The triangle was not the best cause it knocked out my other favorite character.
but ive been reading the next episodes and it looks so exciting and glad it shows your not going 2 die. yah
smiles
sunny ray

Parminder,
You are a fantastic actress. I have watched the show from the very first episode and have enjoyed watching your character grow. Keep up the good work.
Shanna

I have been watching the show now for 7 years and it only gets better with time...I heard a rumor awhile back that this was going to be the last season if that is true Please tell me how we can keep it going

hollllllla!

Great show tonight...will there be another season, will we see any of the past cast members making a visit to county

Hello! My sister and i thought it would be cool to talk to you Neela. Whats it like being an actress? Todays life can be hectic. I hope its fun, because it looks like you can enjoy yourself and have a good time with your co-workers and friends. The show E.R is pretty intense. It was really gross when all of that fake blood came out of your abdomen for the show. I started watching the show with my mom and my dad last season. Good Luck! I hope you stay on the show, and that your character doesn't die (that would suck...).

This show keeps getting better and better - congrats to everyone on it! I've been watching since the show first aired, and am still a huge fan!

I love the show, don't go anywhere anytime soon ok?!?!?

Wow, over 50 comments in under a minute - how does that make you feel girl?!

I love watching Er, even when I came from work as a nurse!! I've being watching Er since 1996!!! Thanks for the great emotion.... You have a great crew. Love love love your show :)
Val from Montreal, Canada

Great season premiere tonight! I'm go glad Neela will be okay.

Now what scoops can you give us for the new season?

HI, LOVE TO HEAR MY UNUSUAL NAME ON THE SHOWE. WAS THE NAME CHOSEN BY YOU OR THE WRITERS?

Parminder, You are great! The season opener was fantastic. I hope that Ray comes back. It will be great to have Ray and Neela together.

I was worried about your character Neela. You played her well. I hope she will be fine.

Love your work as an actress. I hope to see more of your work. Out of all the chacters you have done, which show do you like the best? Kept in touch

thank you for another fantastic episode, a real eye opener and tear jerker. love it as with all the other episodes.

Ms., Nagra,

Love your work inthe movies. I have a daughter adopted from India, and we look forward to seeing indian characters that are ones taht we can look up to and admire.

Look forward to more of your work.

Thanks!

Lyman and Kalyani.

Hi Ms. Nagra,
My wife and I are big fans, all the way back to Turning World. My wife is an Punjabi immigrant to Canada, and she constantly expresses her happiness at seeing a strong Indian character on American TV. Thanks for breaking this barrier in the entertainment industry, and keep it coming!
Geoff & Tina

Hi Parminder, you are an amazingly talentled actress! How much of the medical jargon on the show do you really understand?
Cheers!
-Gaz

I know it's a show, but talk about feeling for a charactor. Hope all turns out well. I'm not one to listen/read about what could happen. Your charactor is what has kept my focus on E.R. Thank you and hope for continued success on the show and your future

I was wondering about the end of the show did the Bomber die? It wasn't clear??

Will neela and gates get back together or will she wait for the other guy?

hi "Neela". my question is- how was your audition for the role, and who pitched it to you? thanks, and hope to see you in the next episode.

Parminder, I've been keeping a eye out for you, but i haven't seen you in any outside projects. What are your plans post-ER?

Hi! Was that Elden Henson on the premiere? Just wondering! Nice job!

Hi,
Great show tonight! Wondering where Lucas is and is he not returning to the show?

Do you know if an all-time-cast reunion is being considered for ER? Of course, SOME characters would not be able to be there, but many of the original characters did not die off but moved on. I'd like to see what their characters would have done in an ER storyline.

where is the live chat being held? i only see comments but no chatting?

Hey Parminder,
I loved you in Bend It Like Beckham a few years ago. My family and I continue to enjoy you on ER. You have great talent and I love turning on the show because of you. Don't die tonight!My question is, How do you get yourself into the persona of your character?

I was wondering if you are a religious person and if yes what religion. Also I was wondering if you wanted to go out on a date with me maybe go bowling and then get something to eat?

Do you know when you'll start production on Marathon?
I'm very excited to see you in a movie with Jonny Lee Miller:)

tonights show was amazing!! everyone was great. I was wondering... are any of the past guest stars or other cast members that left coming back??

Hola Parminder!!!

You are such a great actress!!

Good luck and keep going with your hard work :)

Bye

I hope u keep the show going u all have kept it going longer than my first favorite show 90210 I hope u all keep it going,, GREAT JOB!! LOVE IT!!

Hi, Parminder. You are great actress. Are there any movie plans in the makings? Take care!!!

I just love the character you portray, you do it so well...Thank you.

Is there one particular actor you get along with best? Why?

Michelle

I think that it would be great for Neela to hook up w/ the surgeon do either of you see this happening?

Parminder, I love your character. I have been watching ER for the last 9 years and it just get better and better. I laugh I cry. I hope your character makes it. I wish you and John Stamos would hook up again.

Parminder-

Love your part in the show, one of the best, love the attitude, you go!

Any chances of any actors/actress from past seasons to come back on the show?

What about Ray, we going to know more?

i find it interesting that so many of the questions in this blog are about neela's relationships.

parminder: do you find it frustrating that this intelligent woman doctor's character seems so frequently to be defined by fans in terms of who she is or is expected to have a relationship with, instead of defined by her intelligence and personality?

i know i personally am frustrated by it. how do you feel?

You know, at some point I figured you would start telling them what to do when they were rolling you into the ER - haha!

I watch ER and the reruns all the time. I love the show. It looks like your character during surgery used real surgery. Fascinating. Your character appears to be awake next week. I hope they do not write you out of the show. It seems like a lot of the main characters have been written off. Now it's like the Young and the Restless........younger staff.

Ms. Nagra,

I am a big fan of your work and the show as well for all these years? How does the cast and crew and yourself of course, keep things new and fresh as every episode feels.

Thanks,

Great show! My husband went in to the other room to watch The War...but I love ER

I love this show so much I have been watching it for years! I hope Neela dosent die. I really want to know what happened to they boy with the wood in his chest.
thanks
Khrystina

Tucci is out of place here -- he makes Dr. Weaver look lovable. Sorry the casting person was so tone-deaf...

I love the show and your character. I am also a huge Ray and Neela fan! My question is, will Ray be coming back and if he does could you guys possibly have a future together?

is neela going off ER parminder :(

Hey Parminder, I have to tell you I am a huge fan and I love Neela on ER. I also Cried a whole lot during this eppie. Glad to know another one of my favs. doesn't die.

hey Parminder you are a great actress you rock i'm glad u was not killed off

When parminder was introduced onto the show they made it appear as though her intellect (mostly book knowledge) exceeded most others. I would like to see more of that showcased today rather than her personal life. She was exciting to watch because she was so smart.

Hey,
ER is absolutely one of the best shows on television...after all these years it still keeps me interested...amazing!
My question is: Is playing Neela ever a challenging role for you?

Thanks!

I have been a fan of ER for 14 years! I love it and in recent times you have been one of the best!

what a great show tonight. big fan of you and the show. saw you in bend it like beckham. you were great in that as well! any new movies coming your way?

Neela, I just want to say that ER is my favorite show. I have watched it since day one. Your character is one of my favorite characters.You bring alot of life to the show so I know that NBC would be crazy to let you die off! You keep the show lively. Do you and Gates have an off air friendship?(just wondering)

Hi ER cast,
I love the show. You guyz are all very good. especially Dr. Korvach.
I am from STL Missouri

Hello Parminder,
I love ER and it gets better and better. I hope that Neela can find happiness this season. You and Maura Tierney are my favorites. I was wondering what you like to do in your spare time and if you like horses? Thank you and you are awesome!

Was tonight's episode an allegory for the state of ER as an NBC program?

Does Neela's character represent ER as a show, severely injured, requiring life support and unknown as to whether or not this season will be the last season?

will neela ever get serious again with gates or will she stay single

I think you truly are a great actress. Where in Chicago is that hospital?

dun die neela

we love abby!!!!!!!! and luka and joe!!!

anyways..... what is that bullet-like thing on his side???? (for next episode). is that how they will get rid of abby(which is a sin!)

you're cool too

i just wanted to say that your amazing and had an impact on my life! i saw you in bend it like beckham and that movie made me realize how special and amazing the indian culture is. before that i wasnt interested so i just wanted to say Thank you.

have any of you worn a pedometer to see how far you walk in an episode!!!?

Parminder your the best!! I just watch the show to support a punjaban jatti. I really hope your character stays on ER. In my eyes you've accomplished alot in the mainstream television

great epi...

what is going to happen with abby? luka?

Are you going to be starring in any upcoming films?

AWESOME show! Can't wait until next week! Parminder and the other actors/actress keep me coming back week after week. Keep up the great job. I'm sooo glad Noah Wyle is coming back too for several episodes!!!!!!!!!!!

When is Luka coming back - not the same without that cutie. Love your character Neela, what a great job you do on the show. You make everything so believable. Have been a loyal fan since day one and still can't wait until Thursday night at 10:00 to catch another episode. Keep them coming.

What ever happened to the story line about hospital that John Carter funded? Will we ever see Noah Wyle again as Dr. Carter?

GREAT SHOW TONIGHT! I love ER, I have watched since the original show. You do a great job. Keep up the good work.

Parminder, didn't have too many lines to memorize huh? Great show. Glad to see ER is back to quality story lines. Please though, dump the propaganda and stick with medical/personal stuff.

My wife and I are big ER fans and have grown to look at the cast as an extended family. How did it feel to be on the other side of the knife, so to speak?

Got to say 2 words.....your HOT. Happy your alive. wow you look how.

Thank god that hour is over! I have never been more stressed out in my life - I thought at some point I would just burst into tears! I'm so happy you're still going to be on the show Parminder!

just wantedto say you are awesome. been whatching your career since the movie you playted in the xoccer one. keep up the great work

Will we be seeing ou in any movies soon? Are you going to branch out into the type of roles you take?

i am new to this blog thing...i see everyones questions and comments but where will Parminder respond?

whats up parminder!! are you ever gonna get a steady boyfriend?it is way past due

Great job, keep doing what you do!

I love you Neela!!!!!!

Hey Parminder!! You were GREAT!!!! I love your character. is Ray ever coming back?!?!? How was it being a victim instead of a doctor on the show?

Just wanted to say I enjoy watching the show and Parminder is a favorite

This episode was wonderful, Maura Tierney's character Abby really stood by your side. Can you name at least one friend you know would be right with you if this event was real?

Also: Good luck with your career, I wish you continued success in all you do!

How does being in a weekly popular TV show differ from movies? Which is harder? Does the cast really get along in real life?

wanna to know is neela's character going to be going out with shane west's character. also is abby's beau comin back on the show?

Parminder, your charm and grace is displayed beyond measure on screen.

May your career bring you lots of success in the near future, desi pride!

btw.. loved you in bend it like beckham, youre too cute!

Hello Parminder. What is it like going to work without Laura Innes as part of the cast? Do you feel a big void has been left and do you forsee any LGBT storylines emerging in the near future?

I jsut one to sya I am a big fan O ER and I want to know if Neela going to make it though i hope so I've been watching since the first show air on TV

Hey Parminder, been a huge fan of you since Bend it like Beckham. So glad to see you on ER, been watching since you joined the show. I always was curious, this has nothing to do with the show, but if you could pick any character from any current/or past movie, what would you choose? Keep up the great work, hope you have a great week!

I love ER and I love your character! How lucky are you to have scenes with john stamos! Im so glad he joined the show! Will your characters get together again

i have been watching this show for years and you by far are my favorite character !!

Okay Parminder. What is up with the spell that Neela has cast upon all the eligible men in the ER?

Hi Parminder,

I love you. :-D

hey parminder! I absolutely love your character, and I cried from this episode...even though it was a great season opener, you have to make it!! Will you get together with Gates??

Hey Parminder! You are a phenomenal actress, and a true inspiration for aspiring surgeons, like myself. I admire you to the fullest. You rock!

Parminder,

How do you cope with your huge success from being on ER? It is all well deserved, as you have great acting abilities and for sure a long future in the entertainment industry. Congratulations, you are a gifted and beautiful woman.

Okay every character to ER are essential, without them... THE TEAM>.... ohh you can however kill off the red head jew dude

Does the cast like to goof off? Wjo is the biggest prankster on the set?

Parminder, I absolutely loved you in Bend It Like Beckham. I was thrilled when you joined ER! I have watched it from the very first episode. There was a time after George Clooney, Noah Wylie and others left the show that it got boring. Not any more!!! You have added so much to the show. I sure hope that tonight's episode doesn't mean that you are leaving!!!

What an amazing show! I am so glad Neela’s still around this season. Was getting a bit worried after last season’s finale. I love Stanley Tucci even though he’s a complete jerk! How do you film those surgical scenes and make them look so real? Also, Parminder – do you have to study any anatomy to understand your scenes in the OR (when you are operating)?

Neela will you Marry Me??? lol jk Amazing show tonight can't wait for next week!

What happened to Neela? I missed the first half of the show ... am quite upset ...

i just wanted to say that your amazing and had an impact on my life! i saw you in bend it like beckham and that movie made me realize how special and amazing the indian culture is. before that i wasnt interested so i just wanted to say Thank you.

We love Neela! You are an amazing actress and we both decided we would LOVE to meet you!

What can we expect this season with Neela and Gates? Should we create a nickname for the two of them? Geela? Nates?

Hey Parminder, These past cpl of years your character has experiences many obstacles what have been your biggest obstacles to face in your life?

SINCE YOUR CHARACTER IS RATHER DULL AND YOUR ACTING IS AN ABSOLUTE BORE, CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOU FINALLY BEING WRITTEN OUT? EVEN BETTER, DYING OF COMLPLICATIONS FROM YOUR RECENT INJURIES? YOU ARE HORRIBLE AND CHARMLESS.

Hi Parminder nice job in the new episode glad your character made it. Was it different to play the patient being worked on instead of the doctor working on people??

I am so so glad that Neela is going to be okay. So, I can't believe what happened to Ray. I wanted/want Neela and Ray to be together so bad! But it is so obvious Gates and Dimenko( I think I spelled that wrong ) is in love with her. So, my question is, if you can say. Who is Neela going to end up with??

We loved you in Bend It Like Beckham and we're glad you survived your surgery tonight. :)

Amanda and her mother, Linda.

Are you going to get into a strong romance with John Stamos this year?

I don't have a question. I just want to say I have a HUGE crush on you!

You are the most Incredably Gorgeous Woman in the Entire World,I LOVE YOU !!!!!

You are my favorite on ER...thanks for giving us such a great character.

hello parminder,
love ya on er.
hope we see ya on the show for more seasons.

I've been watching ER for years and it only gets better and better thanks to excellent actors as yourself. Looking forward to another great season and here's to many more.

so glad to see the show has returned to what it once was. someone please tell me that this show wont be ending anytime soon!! i keep hearing that its going to be the last season. my heart couldnt take it!

Parminder, I have watched you grow as an actor since Bend it like Beckham and hope that you continue to find challenging roles in your career. Keep up the good work! ER is my fav!

WOW! What an intense season premiere!! You are one of my favorites on ER, Parminder, and I would have hated to see you go! Great job!

I have been watching ER from the beginning and it's only getting better! Great job tonight from you and the rest of the cast! Good luck this season! Thanks for working so hard, the show is still one of my favs!

Parminder, Love your character on the show. Have been a fan since Bend It Like Beckham. Hope the rumors of you leaving the show are false. The show tonight was excellent. Good job to all the cast.

Tonight's episode was AMAZING! The best I've seen in a long time. I hope that Neela gets better and I hope to see Luka and Carter soon. I miss them so much!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

I saw you way back in bend it like beckham you always struck me as very original and distinct. i love your acting, you amaze me. each role you play is completely different than the next. how long do you plan to be with ER and do you have any other job prospects as of yet?

Hello, big fan of the show. Your character has definitely always made it interesting. Keep up the good work!

I heard last year was going to be Luka and Abby's last season - did they mean this year? Abby's my fave please tell me she's staying!

amazing episode. i was on edge the whole time. glad neela survived the episode.

is kerry comming back and will there be any death this season or a massive suprise in store ?

Abby the reason the show is still on the air.

As usual great show. So nice to have a British actress on the show! You have come a long way since "Bend it Like Bechkam" and that was a GREAT movie! Good on ya! I wish you continued success in your career.

I was bummed about Ray leaving the show and the circle with your character. I am curious to see how your character progresses this season. Any hints about what happens this season? ER is amazing, been watching it for years...

Hi Parminder....so happy that your alive with your character. your a wonderful actress...keep up the great work that you do....

be blessed

Parminder Nagra thank you for the great work on ER. My wife and I just watched your character get out of the surgery room. We love you girl. you are a great asset to the show. please stay with us. you DO have ALOT of fans

i have a crush on you. i wish i could meet you someday.

Hey Parminder!! i love you :) i loved the episode tonight i was sooo nervous and screaming ahhh... I cant wait for next weeks!!

i just wanted to say that your amazing and had an impact on my life! i saw you in bend it like beckham and that movie made me realize how special and amazing the indian culture is. before that i wasnt interested so i just wanted to say Thank you.

Love your show. Big fan. Nice to see a strong indian woman with such great talent and on one of the best shows ever. This is coming from a fellow indian ;)

Great season opener! Parminder, you did a great job! What do they have planned for you this season on ER?

I've been watching ER since it's very first episode....it seems that the writing these last two years is getting darker and darker. Can we hope to see some more sunny days ahead for our favorite doctors? I'd love to get some lighter fare and happier endings. Love your char though, keep up the great work.

Neela you can't get hurt. You're the reason I watch the show. You have to get better!!!! Ok, here is my question. Is all the taping done in chicago or only some?? Keep up the good work Parminder. I love you!!!!!!!

I adore your character- and hope you remain on the show. If not what other career plans do you have?

Long time ER fan here from Canada. Great show tonight. Will Neela be back? I'm in tears from tonight's show!

So glad you pulled through! It was scary when Neela was bleeding out. Congratulations on a great season opener. We all love the show.

Hey! are you there Nagra?

Hi Parminder! This episode was excellent, reminded me of the much older seasons of ER.
Was it hard being a patient instead of a doctor? and was it hard trying to keep the situation serious?
And is there a possible Dubenko/ Neela relationship going to possibly show up?

If Neela is done with Dr Gates, send him my way. I've liked John Stamos since he was on General Hospital.

I hope they give more time to Dr. Dubenko this season - he's sweet and quirky. Will he and Neela be interacting much more?

Incredible episode!!! Very impressive. Cant wait to find out more next week!

I really like your character. Please tell me you're going to make it. It looks that way according to the previews for next week's episode.

Had to chuckle when you made the "yellow room" comment. Only a select few will understand what you were referring to.

What is it like filming? When do you film?

Hello Parminder. Just wanted to say, what a great show. You/Your charactor is what has kept my attention to the show. Good Luck and continued success

My Mother-in-law would like to know what happened to Dr. Weaver in the new seaon?

I'm a big fan! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good work!

Awesome episode. So glad Neela's ok. I really hope she and Ray can work things out. Any hopes or ideas on that storyline?

what is gonna happen w neela? is she gonna be fine? also is ray gonna come back to the show, i hope he does i wanted neela and him to hook up?

OMG, u are awesome on the show!!!

You are not leaving the show are you?!?

Hi Parminder! Thrilled to chat with you!

Do you feel charmed to have been in such a great cast in Bend it Like Beckham and now in such a great cast on ER?

I can't think of the last time I was so drawn into a show like that...I had to wait for a commercial to dry my hair because I didn't want to miss a second

I think the show is great I think if they dont bring ray back let neela fall in love with the surgon

you are my favorite character on the show

So does this accident and major internal injuries mean you are leaving the show?! I hope not!

Will Ray come back to tie up loose ends? Will Ray and Neela get together?

Great episode!! Can you tell us whats in store for Neela this season?? Is there any chance for Ray and Neela??

What kind of advice do you have for Indian actors trying to break into the industry?

I'm so happy you didn't die! Will Shane West be returning anytime on ER?

Parminder, you are by far one of the most beautiful actresses I have ever seen! Your character has done wonders for my wife and mine constant love for ER. Thank you and to all the current cast and writers for bringing us another great start of the season!

Kinda crazy to see you bleed out of the liver like that, though...UGH! Thank God "PRIVATE JOKER" was able to help ya ;)

the season premiere tonight was fanatastic even though you weren't talkataive and under the knife the whole show you looked great can't wait to see you in upcoming episodes you look amazing

I'm a huge fan! You're awesome. Does Ray come back?

You rock Parminder! I saw you in an interview where you said John Stamos was a "grower not a shower"...I was cracking up.

nice job tonight

I caught the very end of tonight's ER episode. What happened to Neela?

When is Kovac returning to the ER?

ER rocks!!! I love the show, have been a fan for years. Keep up the good work.

Loved the show and I hope you continue to shine on the cast of the best show on TV!!

WATCHING NOW- OH MY GOD!!!!
ARE YOU GOING TO BE OK?

loved the new episode, don't let neela die!!!

How many hours did it take to apply the prosthetics for Neela's surgery?

When are the rest of the ER going to find out about Ray? And is Ray going to be coming back?

yeah what did happen to the ex-guitar playing doctor guy?

PLEASE tell us you're not leaving!?

will you marry me?

was it difficult being a patient?

Another great season opener! What are with the rumors that this is the final season???

AMAZING episode tonight!! You did great!!!

when will dr. carter be back?

Way to go guys,,,amazing episode. Neela rocks, and thank guy that big shot in the ER realized it was harder than he thought. As usually the amazing cast pulls off another great show

Please kill off the Abby character!!!!!
She continues to ruin the show.
You're the only reason people still turn it on!!!!!

i was wondering what happened to sean west character...i mean last season at the end neela was looking for him and we saw him in hospital but nothing was said tonight about it

Parminder,
Love you on the show! I hope you have a contract for at least two more seasons? Don't die tonight!

Good evening i just wanted to know how your career took off so well. like where did you begin

Thanks

Parminder Nagra thank you for the great work on ER. My wife and I just watched your character get out of the surgery room. We love you girl. you are a great asset to the show. please stay with us. you DO have ALOT of fans

How do you keep your skills at such a high level over the courseof your career?

i saw that you are awake in the next episode on the previews!
do you know whose career is in jepordy?

Tonights show was a rollercoaster and brought back into the ER fold. I had lost interest a little bit when Dr. Carter's character was lost, but I loved John Stamo's character in tonights episode.

Stanley Tucci is an amazing actor with an existing cast in place what dynamic has he brought as an actor to your show

Hey, glad you're not dead!

Hey there! A great start to the season, you guys really hit the ground running. Here's my question: I heard Stanley Tucci is only signed for part of the season. He's such a sensational actor, that would be a shame. How long is his run going to be?

YAY its back! im excited to have my favorite thing in the world back in my life.

omg! so neela is going to be okay... but like how did you get in the role of that? What did you think of doing that scene?

Parminder, I have always enjoyed your film career too. Do you have any more movies in the works?

your very pretty. Marry me?

So what happened to the ex-guitar playin roomate???? is he coming back to the show?? is he dead??

Parminder what are your views on the war? What do your friends call you for short?

GREAT episode tonight! Even with all of your "injuries" you looked fantastic!

Ms. Nagra, you are the best!!!

We love you in Indianapolis!!!

did neela die ?

Hey ! Are you going to do any movies in the future?

Also Parminder, if Neela doesn't make it the show will not be the same!!

Hi Parminder,
I love to see such a strong women in a terriffic role such as Neela. I hope you and the rest of the cast keep up the awsome work! My question is do you study any medical materials for your role?

First of all, I have to tell you like many have already, you are a fantasticly beautiful woman. When that fountain of blood came gushing out of you, I had to yell out, "don't kill off my Neela!" I am looking forward to seeing this years' episodes. Have a great season! P.S. It cracks me up when you refer to people on the show that tick you of as "wankers!"

I love the season premiere!!! Great job, Neela you are a great actress!!

What a RIDE!!! Do you use real patients on your recordings?? I know that some of your taping is done on site..

Great job tonight! How do you decide who writes which episode?

hey i luv u is ray comin bak this season and is bollywood in ur future..... good luck with everything....

Parminder,
I have to ask...who's the hottest to work with?

Excellent show ! Kept me on the edge of my seat.

so glad you are still on the show! You are an awesome actress! Hopefully you and Ray can work things out in the storyline...

Mai taunu piyar karna!!

Parminder, Your character is amazing... please don't die!! Does Ray come back? What about Carter? I've been watching the show since it first aired. You're an asset to it for sure!!

Also one question in particular: When are we going to see/hear from Dr. Carter? It's not the same without him!

hi..love the show and getting to know all the new people....ER show is number #1

Jesus, you caused quite a commotion this episode didn't you? I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Who was running the moniors? they did a great job!!!

Happy upcoming birthday.

i love abby
she is muh heroine

Love the show..Do they use real blood?

Hey Parminder, I watch ER just to see you. Good luck with your career - also, is there any hope for Neela and Ray to be together or is it really over?

I love your ER and I absolutely love your character...I can't wait to see what happens with you and Ray if he comes back...glad you're gonna make it:)

I have been watching ER since I was about 10 but the is by far the best show in it and you are doing a great job too!

Wow - Great Season Opener. You're a wonderful actress. I enjoy watching you perform

this was such a great episode! Love your character and you're a great performer! also loved your performance in bend it like beckham! one of my fav movies!

Please end this show before it becomes even more irrelevant.

When is the series finale?

What happened to the boy with the stick thing in his chest?

Hey Parminder, it is so great to watch you week after week. You have really grown and matured as an actor since being on ER.
Congrats on all the success and i hope to see you on there for yrs. to come!!!

Hey permander cant wait to see Fallen Hero

I see there are some other Indianapolis viewers who posted. I enjoy watching ER because of characters like Neela. You are one of the shows greatest assets. Thank you for keeping me tuned in every week!

I love that you shared your childhood accident in the movie bend it liek Beckham Have you ever stuggled with thi sissue on ER?

Hi Parminder i love er i watch it every thursday even the re-runs with my dad hes handicapped so he stays in bed all week to bad you cant visit ='[ well how do you do your part when your laying in the er and in surgery?

Thank you for keeping ER strong. I've been watching since the very first season, through the ups and the downs and this season started on a high note! I am currently a second year medical student and am amazed at how accurate the medical information and terminology is. Do you take lession on pronouciation and medical lingo? Keep up the good work!

was that donald sutherland tonight, wife says no,

hi this is Sarah!
i am only 14 but i have been watching er since i was 4 years old when i was younger i didn't watch it every week but ever since i was little it has been one of my favorite shows! its great and i love you.

Hey parminder, Im glad to see that you survived the surgery, I love your character as well as you as a person!!

Great first show! I was very relieved that you didn't die in the first episode! lol

I Love the show have watched for a long time! I Can't wait til next week!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!

Hey Parminder!
What was the biggest difference between playing a patient and playing a doctor like you usually do? Which role do you think was more difficult or interesting to play?

The character of neelah is awesome...we're talking emmy this season!!

I do believe he got transferred at the end of the last season. He lost his legs, so he could do no more in the ER at that point!

Seriously. Neela didn't just die did she? And where is her rock in roll boyfriend who got hit by the van?

You are the greatest char. along with abby We love you so.

You are awesome and one of my favorite actors of all time! Is Nelia going to be alright?

Tonight's entire show was just CRAZY but in a totally good way I have been watching ER from the beginning when I was a little kid and had nightmares about having a hanger stuck in my throat later! I am sure you can't tell us much but what is in store this season?

where is shane west he is my
favorate man ever
i love him!!!!
he is a great "docter"

HEY!!!! I have been a fan of ER since I was I child and your character is amazing. But I wanted to ask you, what has been the most exciting episode or storyline that you have been involved in?

Hi Parminder. How much easier was the transition back into the new season when you didn't have to run around for ep 1?

I'm sure this question was asked before but are there any plans on bringing Shane West back to County?

Wow! What a show! I can't wait for next week! Great job!!

Where is Luka? Bring back shane west.

OMG! Tonight's ER was AWESOME! I just can't believe where this show has gone. I can't wait to see what happens next!

What projects to you have lined up for the near future?(other than ER of course!)

Hi Parminder, I love Neela and Ray! I sure hope that Shane West comes back so that the Neela/Ray saga can contine and have a happier ending than last season! Continue the exellent work my friend!

get rid of the jerk chief

Happy Birthday, Mindi.

We're all still watching and cheering.
The Parmaniacs...

Parminder I think you are truly an amazing actor and I love your character Neela on ER. If and when Shane West returns to ER, do you think the roomie fans of Ray and Neela will ever see a happying end for those two characters?? The relationship between those two characters has been building for the last couple of seasons, I would hate to find out that it was all for nothing. I hope this will be a great season for ER and your character if it is indeed the last season.

Hi Parminder, I love the show. What was it like to film the riot and parts in the hospital afterwards? Is Shane coming back? I'm sure you're tired of that question, but I've gotta know!

Will john wells write any episodes this season?

Dr. Joe: The Advocate was a great episode for Carter, Abby, Luka and Weaver. It was one of ER’s best. Do you think it is the best you’ve written? If not, what is?

Me, admittedly, there's a lot of Ray-Neela questions, but if you ACTUALLY read through stuff, there's a bunch of Neela centric questions. I personally asked a couple of them! Instead of insulting people, focus on fixing your real life instead. People like you sometimes need to lighten up.

Sorry for the rant, but people like that just UPSET me.

ED would never handle a trauma like this. They would be begging for a surgical trauma consult before the patient ever arrived. This show makes me sick.

I have heard rumors that this will be the last season for ER. Is this true?? I really hope not!!

Can’t wait to see Carter in Chicago and interacting with the staff again esp Abby! Can you give us a hint about his story plot?

If you could bring back one departed castmember for one episode, who would it be and why???

Hi, first of all I would like to say that I really love the show. I'm really looking forward the new season that here, in Argentina, starts on November.
I would like to know what's going to happen with Ray!!
And if Luka is coming back or not. Thank you for your time!

I think you should cancel the live blog, because not one single person has asked a worthy question. No one cares if Ray is coming back. This chat is for Parminder. Not Shane West. Roomies please get over yourselves.

Do you think Neela will be a better teacher now? My favorite scene is when Neela tries to teach the students why the man with cancer was crying. She gave all the medical reasons but not the obvious one. It was hysterical!

REALLY looking forward to tonight's episode - I ordered HD service from my cable company just for it!

Dr. Sachs, Love how ER episode titles are expressed throughout the stories. Who writes the titles. Is the episode writer alone?

Dr. Sachs, when is my favorite cast member, Noah Wyle, coming back? I hope you write some good material for him! Thanks.

Parminder, I love the friendship between Neela and abby. I feel like Neela lost her chance at true love with Ray the way Abby lost it years earlier w/Carter. Will the girls talk about it?

Katey had some harsh words for Neela during last season's finale, blaming her for Ray's accident. Will that have any impact on Neela this season?

What was it like to film the season finale stampede and what was it like to follow it up as a patient? Must have been interesting on the other side of things! ;)

Hi again 'Dr. Parminder'
I have another question
I've watched "Maya - The Indian Princess", it's so lovely. I was wondering if you ever thought of being a voice artist, because it was such a nice work.
Thank you!

Parminder, huge fan of ER and your work on the show in particular! What was it like having to place yourself emotinoally in the position of a wife who has just lost her husband to the war?

Also, I'd like to add that I am one of the many Save Reela Supporters and I sincerely hope to see Shane West resprise his role in order to allow Ray and Neela to finally be together.

Thank You, Simren

perminder do you e-mail fans or chat online? just cerious

hope to see great new episodes this season and hopefully see carter one more time

Hey Parminder! I was always wondering, ever since you started on the show in 2003, what episode has been your favorite to film?

PS-You were amazing as Jess in Bend It Like Beckham! And your my favorite actress!

For more fun and excitement please visit County_General_ER Yahoo Group.

We will be talking about the episode.

Hey just wanted to say what a huge Er fan I am, and even more so a Maura and Goran fan, keep up the great work!
Parminder, what do you enjoy the most about working on ER and its cast?what do you like the least?

Parminder (or should I say Dr. Parminder?)
First of all I'd like to thank you for your presence here tonight. I'm also thankful for your work as an actress, which I find to be really really wonderful (you're my favorite actress). I loved "Bend It Like Beckham", watched it many times. And of course I love you as Neela as well. I wish I've watched more of your work, it's very hard to find that stuff here in Brazil, unfortunately. So, let's skip to the questions. You've said you are very similar to the Jesminder character and my question is:
Do you think you're also similar to Neela in any particular way?
How do you feel about all those changes in Neela's life, is it fun to deal with the character's problems or is it hard?
Are there any possibilities for a Neela/Dubenko relationship?
And at last - but not least
Will "In Your Dreams" come to America? I really want to watch it!
I know it's early for that, but happy birthday!
I loved you on the "The More You Know" videos, you seem to be very very kind.
So, I wish you the best
Thank you again
And sorry for the bad English!

anything to divulge on luby's future?

Parminder who of the cast do you enjoy working with the most? who is the goofiest of the cast?

Dr. Parminder and Dr. Joe
Will ER's Neela and Ray be together?

Ray and Neela's relationship is the ONLY reason I've continued to watch ER over the past few seasons.

Parminder ... you have such a nice smile and laugh ... I was wondering if you are ticklish?

Hi, Parminder!

I just want to say, I am a big fan of your work, you are a great actress and a beautiful lady!

Will we see Neela's parents again? Will we find out if they are happy with the life they effectively "chose" for her?

And I'm sorry I have to jump on the bandwagon, but I love Neela and Ray so much as a couple, there's SO much chemistry (and a great, well-built up story)! Any hope for them?! :)

Parminder, you're awesome! Thanks for chatting with us...I was wondering, if you could change one thing about Neela, what would it be?

Also, has there ever been a time where you conflicted with the writers because you believed what they were writing for Neela to do wasn't what she should do?

Have you also heard of the Save Reela campaign?

Perhaps I missed something in the season finale, but I could not figure out how Gates ended up at the anti-war protest or how he even knew that Neela was there. Other than that, I thought it was a great episode, and I LOVED the Ray twist--sheer brilliance and great irony. But I was hoping that you could grant some insight concerning the aforementioned seeming deficiency in the storyline. Thanks!

300 th episode is going to be something BIG dr.joe. ?

returns, death ...

ALEX KINGSTON return for the Series Finale ?

George Clooney BACKKK ?

RAY comback ?

Neela cant finish alone ...

MR. Joe S. ¿ Big plans for this last season ?

How play storylines for all caracter in personal.?

How ya doing, Parminder?

Off the top of your head, which scene in ER was the most fun for you to film? You’ve already gotten to have a scene with a chimpanzee...any fun scenes you enjoyed filming with Shane West?

Namaste Mindiji, this is more a THANKYOU. since i never got to thank you at the 2004 South Asian film fest, for standing up for me. I am sure u remember. I was going through a hard time then already when that incident with Dr D happened. I felt humiliated by it and lost my nerve. I appreciate the being that you are as person. Good luck with everythig in your life. and if you get a chance you can look up Hakomi. Namaste Angela Mata

Hi, Parminder!

Is the medical jargon easier to learn now that you’re in your 5th season on the show, or is it still hard?

In Season 13, Neela made a comment how she "didn't want to be a surgeon" and people (Dr. Clemente & Dr. Dubenko) just told her she'd be good at it. Do you think Neela's still somewhat uncertain about her career goals and is going through the motions, or is she finally just getting comfortable?

Hi, Neela -

Your eyes are so expressive when you're acting - in some scenes you know exactly what Neela's thinking even when she's not talking. Do you purposely try to act a lot with your eyes, or does it just sort of happen and you’re not aware of it?

Hi Parminder,
Love your work, not just on ER but other tv projects and film too. Have you got any plans for filming movies in the future, i heard about 'Marathon' a while back and was looking forward to seeing it, has that been made yet?

I have been watching ER from day it started on the air, I loved watching Gorge Clooney, A Edwars Carter, ect..., I watch the old reruns. I heard Carter will be doing several appearence
Love to see ABby n Carter together. Could that happen?
I love Er hope its on for several years. Where can I watch the cast for a pic?
I have on of Carter, Clooney?
Love the show!!!!!!

sucks that its the last season. which you could do more than 14 seasons. I'm a big huge fan of er. Please make more. thanks

Parminder --

You've talked about how it seemed like everyone in the ER was in love with Neela this past season. That whole thing with Dubenko seemed to come out of nowhere -- how/when did he start having feelings for her? They have such a great mentor/student relationship. Will the love angle be explored next season?

love ray e neela forever

DR. joe I Know...that you are a CARBY FAN..

ABBY and CARTER reunion..?

NELLA and RAY reunion ?

HI.

You know I always be ER fan since first season. This is the LAST season I love the Show believe me, but I think for all the News that is the GOODBYE in MAY 2008.

When is official.?

Laura, Shane , Noah, Goran, Back.

and MING NA ..lol i am a big fan for PRATT and JING ME...and he is just happy whit her.

I hear some OLD doc may be BACK ?

any plans.

Hi Parminder and Dr. Joe.
OK
¿Plans for the BIG 300th Episode this Year ?

¿ I want RAY and NEELA ?

Hi, Parminder –

Love the work you are doing as Neela on the show. I’m another huge Ray+Neela fan, and am saddened by the direction the show took with their storyline last season. Two questions for you:

In the season finale, you and Shane acted so marvelously in the hospital-room scenes. What do you suppose was going through Neela’s mind when Ray admitted that he loved her, and why did she not say anything when he said that it didn’t matter anymore that she and Tony had broken up? Do you think Neela finally realizes that she loves Ray, or is she still not sure how she feels about him? Since so much of Neela’s reaction in that scene was not verbalized, could you talk about what that was meant to portray?

Secondly, what are your plans after ER? Do you plan to stay in L.A.?

Thanks!

Hi Parminder
My name is Gali and I'm from Israel.
Me, my mother and my sister are HUGE fans of the show, so much that after the 10th season, when they stopped showing it on TV I started downloading it and just now we caught up with America. I think you're a great actress!!
My question is If Shane West left the show?
Will there be more romance between Neela and Tony?
What is your relationship with the other actors? Is it a fun working enviorment?

Dr. Joe Sachs is here?
Posting one more time.
I just realized that Joe Sachs will be on the blog to. Cool

Dr. Sachs, first of all, I want to congratulate you for the great episodes that you wrote, such as 'Exodus'-loved it, 'Two Ships'-hype but great, 'Ames v Kovac'- well writen!, and 'A Shift in the Night'- what a way to start... 200 patients for Mark =)

I just had some problems with Freefal, 'cause you killed of Romano, portraied by an actor whom wanted to stick with the show (McCrane is briliant). That episode had 24milion viewers, and since that, the rates are droping... It was a mistake injure a beloved character (yes, you love Romano).

The question is: why make the same mistake with Ray? It was so... gore, I don't know if you'll have the support of the fans with that...

Anyways, keep the eyes on the ball in this season! Less romance, more trauma. I don't wanna our doctors named McSomething, pleasing! It's ER. And if this is really the last season... do your best. Mistakes at minimun. I love the show! Watch it since 94. But... sometimes it's hard to watch it nowadays. The legacy is almoust lost... Just do your best =)

(sorry for my poor english)

Hi Parminder,
You are an wonderful actress.

How do you feel beeing Dr. Parminder now after you have been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leicester?

About Neela, what do you think about her ? What do you think of your character evolution in ER ?

How are you felt to work with the new cast of this season, mainly with the actor who plays Harold?

Now the question more repeated here...
You must be annoying with as many people speaking of Ray. But the history of the Roomies was very important for us. I hope you understand why it is impossible we not to speak about it. We waited 3 years for Ray and Neela to be together.
You and Shane West have incredible chemistry that deserves to be explored to the fullest extent. Legs or no legs, we want Ray with Neela!
Ray and Neela have such wonderful chemistry which spent 3 years building up so well, only to throw it all away in the awful season 13, but it's not too late to put everything right.
Ray and Neela have more chemistry arguing about a patient than Neela and Gates ever did in their love scenes!
I cannot understand why ER Producers did this to us and let Shane leaves ER.
I hope Shane backs on ER. Do you know something about it?

Sry i have another question..
Im a BIIIIIIG Luby fan so can you just tell me if they are getting a happy ending?
And will we ever get our Croatia episode?
Please please please answer this because i have been reading the spoilers and im so worried what will happen to them.
Btw too smc: dont post spoilers here maybe some people here are spoilerfree and you wrote a spoiler about Abby!!!

Hey Parminder !!
First of all I want to wish you Happy Birthday ;)
Second, i want to tell you how much i love Bend it Like Beckham, we watched it in school. And ofcourse i love you as Neela too :)
So what do you think you will be doing after ER?
And for Joe Sachs: ER is a great show, and i dont think it should end... But have you decided if there will be a season 15?
Thaanks, and i cant wait to see the premiere.. :) It was so sad how it all ended with Neela ;(

Your scenes in last season's finale were so emotional and you were truly wonderful in them. How do you prepare for difficult scenes like those?

Question for Dr.Joe Sachs: When Romano lost his arm, he could no longer be a surgeon, he never got accustomed to his prosthetics and always seemed uncomfortable in his own skin before he was finally killed off. If Shane West does return, will Ray's disability be approached in a different manner? Is it feasible for a doctor with a disability to continue to practice medicine?

How difficult is it for the writers to come up with patient cases/medical storylines that reflect what the regular cast characters tend to be dealing with as their personal stories?

Hi Parminder!! My name is Oritza.. I’m from Valencia, Venezuela. I just want to tell you that ER is my favorite TV Show. I wish you all the best. I admire you for your job because I want to become a Doctor!! And your character is the best! I want to know, what is the bad part of your job? Thank you very much!! God bless you. Bye!! 

Hi Parminder. Thank you for doing such a great job on the show, Neela Rasgotra is an exceptional character. What is the best thing about working on ER set? And how long does it normally take to shoot an episode?

Hi Praminda, i'm such a huge fan of er! Can you let slip on what happens with Abby and Luka?? And she's drinking again! Will we see her and the baby in croatia? They have to have a happy ending!

hi Mindy! Thanks for making such a great job on ER.Waht do you thibk about the end of Ray and Neela? Is there any chance for them to end up as a happy couple? Thats what i want to see and of course i want Shane back to the show! Any spoiler for me here in Germany? I have to wait till next spring and im dying here!

One more q

1) Who do YOU think Neela should be with? Ray, Tony or shudder, shudder Dubenko (please don't say him as a joke, lol)?

Hi, Neela! I love ya!

Have you ever gotten to see Shane West and his band perform live in concert?

Parminder you are an excellent actress but which one do you prefer in real life Stamos or West?

Hi, Neela!

Have you ever gotten into a laughing jag during the filming of a scene on “ER?” If so, do you remember what scene it was?

Hi, Parminder! I love you on "ER" - you're the reason I started watching the show. You're my favorite actor. :)

First off, I wanted to wish you an early Happy Birthday on October 5th!

1) When ER's run is over, what job would be next on your wishlist? Maybe being casted on “Heroes” would be a possibility?

2) A lot that happened last season on “ER” seemed out-of-character for Neela. When you get some of the scripts do you ever just shake your head thinking "They want Neela to do what??"

3) Off-camera did you hang out much with Shane West and other cast members?

4) When you receive the ER script, do you get to make any suggestions or have any input on how the lines are worded or how a scene should play out?

5) How do you think Neela should be reacting to Ray's departure and accident this season? Do you think she should forget about him, or mourn and realize the mistakes she's made? Do you think Neela should fly down to Baton Rouge to be with him?

1. What has been the funniest moment on-set for you?

2. If you could play any role on ER besides Neela, who would it be? Same goes for primetime TV. If you could play any role via primetime, who would it be?

3. Can you stand the blood, et. al that you have to work with? lol

4. Again, any Ray/Neela stuff you can spoil? We're dying here!

Hi Parminda!

I just wanted to say that as an Indian myself..you portray us very well and I'm proud!!

My question I wanted to ask you was who do you enjoy working with the most? I hope you and ray get back together!!!

Hi Parminder.
It's great to have you here.

My question is about Neela's carrer (just to be apart of Ray and Tony issue):

Is there any chance of Rasgotra gave up of the surgical orientation? It was a great idea try to revive the OR's good years, when we had Benton, Corday and Romano, but this change didn't come very well for the charachter.

Neela became an almoust stranger on ER. I don't know if it was because of Tony Gates, but... Abby and Neela didn't apear friends as they were, Ray became a complete stranger... Leland Orser is great playing Dubenko, but there's any chance of Neela wear a green scrub again? Or, maybe, who knows, better plots in the OR?

Hi Parminda,
How are you?
Is Shane West going to return to E.R? I’m a big fan of Shane. And you two are great together. Ray and Neela are perfect together.
I also heard about Noah Wyle. I hope see Carter again.
kisses

hi Neela...I can't wait till the new season starts....but i have to ask do u and ray 2gether....and is he single lol....

Hi Parminder.
I just want to start off by saying that ever since you joined the cast of ER I have been extremely interested in you as an actress all around, you are a fantastic one who plays all her roles well.

Now, I know all of us "roomie" fans seem very angsty here, but it's just because you have been part of the reason why so many stay tuned each week. It is probably the biggest online shipped couple I would say, and I am curious as if you too are a fan of the "reela" romance. Please do explain how being involved in such a loved role feels.

Neela's life seems to be tragedy after tragedy, what with Gallant's death, Ray's amputation and being trampled. Will she find some happiness this season?

Hi Parminder!

Thanks for chatting with us.
I do have a couple of questions!

1) What has been your toughest performance to date on ER? Your character has obviously gone through a lot.

2) What is your favorite ER episode so far that you've been in?

3) I know you've heard this a million times, but there are a LOT of Ray/Neela fans out there. We'd love to see a happy ending to the Ray/Neela storyline. Do you have any tidbits for us? Could Ray come back?

The scene between you and Shane West at last season's finale was absolutely heartbreaking - both of you were brilliant in it! Was that the end of their relationship or will Ray return to Chicago at some point?

What's it like working with Leland Orser?

Is it more difficult to do a surgical scene in the OR or a trauma scene down in the ER in terms of the procedures you have to pretend to do?

Hi, I just wanted to say I am a huge fan of yours on the show and that you are a wonderful actress. Watching ER this past season helped me through a particulary hard time in my life when I had a heart attack this past April, ironically the day before ER came back after hiatus, at only the age of 33.

I was wondering with all the things that have happened to Neela in all four years that you have been on the show to make her cry, do you ever wish the writers would make her life just a litte bit easier? She has cried so much over the things that have happened in her life, I think I would be an emotional wreck.

I also wanted to say that I really hope that Shane West comes back to the show for some episodes because the two of you on screen together has so much chemistry. I hope Ray and Neela get a happy ending.

I am a huge fan of you Parminder and Shane's, and I have to agree that is hard for me to watch ER without seeing Shane. He is truly a wonderful actor, as you Parminder, and furthermore, I have fallen in love with his character (Ray) and his sweet relationship with Neela. I cry every time I see Neela make the wrong choice and head for Gates...seriously!

Please tell me that Shane backs on ER!

HI Parminder first of all congrats for the great work you've been doing on ER, love you!! My question is : Will ray come back for any kind of appearance this season? All ER fans would love to see you guys together, and after last season finale, omg, we just want to know what will happen!!

Was it difficult to spend an entire episode flat on your back, 'unconscious' and generally in a state of discomfort?

Do you hope Ray comes back this season?

Hi Mindi!
I'm Big fan of Shane West...
I began to be your fan too since Neela and Ray become Roomies.
you two are the reason why I saw ER.
I'm very sad about last season Neela/Gates relationship...I hated that...and many times I changed my TV channel...sorry...Because I dont liked those moments...
When Ray started to be used to advantage another time in ER and the Ray/Neela history started to be more interesting, the scriptwriters decides to cut Ray's legs.
I hated that again...And I felt more sad about Shane leaves ER...

I hope you know if Shane's back on ER or not.
I hope Ray and Neela have an Happy Ending
The Roomies are the best storyline ER has had in years. I hope TPTB put that right - bring Ray back and let them be a blissfully happy couple at last.

Sorry for my bad english...and for wrote those things...but this is what I feel!

I wish you the best!You are a wonderful actress!

bye

Bia

Oh I have another question. If you were just an ER fan and didn't play a character on the show. What male character would you most likely have a crush on?

Hey Parminder!! I loved you on Bend it Like Beckham and I love you now on ER. Anyway, Are you happy with the way the whole Neela and Ray thing ended? because I so wanted those to characters to hook up.
