Memories From the Set: CCH Pounder | TVLine

From the start of her stint as Dr. Angela Hicks (which began midway through Season 1), Pounder "certainly did feel that [ER] was going to be an institution, that it would keep going" for many years. But come Season 4, she decided it was time for herself to scrub out, "because it somehow moved from an ensemble to all the boys getting a certain kind of narrative." (On-screen, doctors John Carter and Peter Benton left Hicks' ER team to pursue their respective specialties.) Fun fact: Though she didn't share many scenes with George Clooney on the NBC drama, Pounder had worked with him before, on the Sela Ward sudser Sisters.

Interesting. I always wondered why she left with no on-screen explanation.
