~Kim Legaspi~

Elizabeth Mitchell came to Cook County General in 2000 during ER's 7th season as psychiatrist, Kim Legaspi.
She would come to play not only the role of a psychiatrist but a love interest for Kerry Weaver. It was Weaver's first
lesbian romance and as a result was hard on Legaspi as Weaver was in the closet. Mitchell appeared in 14 episodes.

Thanks for starting this thread, Ron!

You're welcome.

ER was the second role of hers that I ever saw and I remember being so happy with it. If I can remember correctly this storyline first introduced me to a gay couple. I was 10.

I LOVED Dr Legaspi! I was bummed when she left.

Ron_Beckett · 09-24-2014, 04:42 PM

She was great wasn't she!

MaybeSomeday · 09-24-2014, 05:18 PM

She was. I liked her a ton despite the fact that she was paired with Dr. Weaver, who wasn't one of my favorites really.

Ron_Beckett · 09-24-2014, 05:35 PM

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of Weaver until Carol's pregnancy storyline. There we got to see a side of Weaver that we hadn't before so after that I didn't mind her with Legaspi.

I still always wish that they had ended up together. I liked them more than I did Weaver and Sandy.

**Melis** · 09-24-2014, 06:04 PM

I liked her on this show. I stopped watching the show when Carter left.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I liked Kim/Weaver. I didn't like Weaver, but I liked the couple.

Definitely did not like Weaver/Sandy.

I stopped watching a few episodes into season 9 I think. Too bad they didn't keep Legaspi longer.

Ron_Beckett · 09-25-2014, 05:48 AM

I stayed with it all 15 seasons. Though easily the first 6 are the best. After that I wasn't much of a fan.

**Melis** · 09-27-2014, 08:58 AM

Good for you. I just couldn't watch it after a while.

I do agree that the first 6 seasons were the best.

Hawthorn · 09-29-2014, 06:39 PM

I'm ashamed to say this, but I had never seen even half an episode of this show until I got into Elizabeth and checked her filmography.

MaybeSomeday · 09-30-2014, 11:57 AM

^I liked it because for some reason I love all medical shows, even the real life reality type ones. I've actually never seen an episode of Breaking Bad myself, that has to make me weird

.

Liz shows I never watched were V and Revolution. Both had appealing premises to me, but I somehow never got around to them.

Ron_Beckett · 09-30-2014, 03:39 PM

I've never watched Breaking Bad either so no worries. That kind of stuff doesn't hold an appeal for me.

Did you enjoy how the series ended, Ron?
