He was abused, that was very clear. He protected a teen fom his father, gets attacked, and Green (who left an AH die, btw) punished him. And the way he knew the liitle girl was being abused by her father and he went after the father... Two moments that speak volumes: physically and sexually abused is my guess.

It was interesting how Weaver was Green's supervisor, but she always seemed to be in competition with him.

[@Scrappy527]

She was his boss because she manipulated him into yielding the position. Kerry convinced Mark to oppose Romano as Anspaugh's replacement and when Mark spoke up, voicing his objections per his and Kerry's plan, Kerry chose to betray Mark, back Romano all because Romano and Kerry had a secret deal -- he promised her that she'd be the highest ranked doctor in the ER over Mark if she backed him. Kerry knew deep down that Mark was the better doctor -- he just made the mistake of trusting her to do what she promised. Not only does Kerry think only of herself (giving herself a raise after firing Jeanie), but she is very manipulative and will throw anybody under the bus to save her own ass (ex. when she left her beeper in the bathroom during an emergency and blamed others when she was at fault).

[@zidneya]

I just saw this episode. In the first part, Malucci saved a guy who got stuck in the elevator with him (he behaved as cocky as usual but stayed focused and did well), and later on he was really hurt by being fired, claiming he should have seen the signs (something about a mediastinum) and Chen tried to lift him up telling him this might blow over. The thing with Benton's nephew, that was a serious problem, unlike this. Not to mention that Kovac once had sex in the ER when he was on duty with a patient’s mom in S9E4 and he didn’t get fired. Dr Green also had sex in the ER during the first season and didn't get fired either. As for the last part, if there’s nothing left to do, I can’t blame him for blowing some steam before leaving, and unfairly calling names, but at this point what difference does it make? I'll miss the guy. I think his character's storyline deserved a better approach. 😒And if you've seen the gag reel, you should know that Laura Innes and Erik Palladino had a fun time filming this episode. 🤣

I see they didn’t caption the entirety of his parting comment. Wonder why? Lol

[@vectorman7140]

Playing devil's advocate, Malucci wasn't a bad person or doctor for the most part. He had his good moments. Examples like when both John and Lucy were stabbed he showed his best, talking to a patient to practice safe sex in order not to get HIV from his partner despite that they didnt want him to, and especially protective of his patients who were children being abused by their parents. This I saw as personal for him which may have implied he too was abused during his childhood. Id would have liked to have seen more of him and his background explored. Unfortunately, due to his bad habits of speaking with his foot in his mouth way too many times like what he said about Benton's nephew(rightfully being punched for it by Benton), and wanting to have too much fun on the job is what caused him to lose it. Also, I'd would have liked if a character from the show ran into him, and found out how he was doing.

[@issyhalecullen]

I see all sides of this. While he was an obnoxious character none of those doctors are perfect. I mean come on they didn’t fire Carter when he was shooting up. I could make a list. Dr. Greene was right you can’t fire someone because you don’t like them and that’s exactly what she. She has an attitude that’s she better than everyone else and I hate it.

[@RandallHallKaizenReiki]

Yes, Kerry was arrogant and abrasive. Like Kelso in Scrubs, she filled a necessary role. Someone has to draw the hard line so they can help as many people as possible. It's not a job I would wish on anyone. Dave wasn't fired because she didn't like him. He was fired for having sex in an ambulance with a paramedic. He just wasn't given a sixth chance because she didn't like him.

[@rockinrj87]

ER is my favorite TV show of purchase to series three three different times most recently digitally. I've watched the whole series multiple times. Dr Carrie Weaver is a great character but I've never really understood if you're supposed to dislike her or not because she comes across as a know-it-all bitch a lot in the series but they also show her what a big heart of gold so I never really understood how the audience is supposed to relate to her character either way she's a great character

[@LisaCupcake]

I think that's what made her so realistic. No one is all good or all bad. Even people you don't like can do things that you appreciate and ones you like can screw up and piss you off sometimes. :)

Calling somebody a Nazi Dyke and a cold hearted bitch. when they fired you for a fireable offense isn't exactly "spot on" Kerry is my favorite character because she wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in and for the rules. She put people in their place when they deserved it. She was the best character morally in this show. People didn't like Kerry because she did the right thing even if it got in the way of the more "interesting characters" doing things that were questionable and unethical.
