I loved her answer: "There is nothing more satisfying than seeing really painful things happen to REALLY attractive people".
Hm I suppose it makes some people feel satisfied

Hah, so true Honestly, though, sometimes I think we only think people on tv are so pretty because they are on tv. Most of the ER people are pretty "normal" looking, to me But maybe it's because I'm so used to them

With the ER cast, there's definitely the feeling that they could be real people working in an ER. Laura Innes said about the original cast:

"They got these six people together, and they LOOKED like real people … maybe except for George"

George isn't real-people-looking at all

Just noticed the quote in this thread title and realised how many times I have said it in my head to really aggravating people. In real life, I don't think I could ever pull it off as well as Carol.

Luka/Goran doesn't look normal to me. He's too hot!

I always loved this exchange from 09x21 - "When Night Meets Day":

Firefighter #1: (Firefighters are talking with Susan at the Admit desk)
The old paint factory on Hudson was probably the worst: hot as hell and the smoke...
Firefighter #2: Couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Abby: Isn't the fire outside, boys?
Firefighter #1: It's out.
Abby: Really? Then shouldn't you be rolling up your hoses, heading back to the station? (Susan joins her in meeting an ambulance outside) Feeding that little spotted dog? Polishing your poles?
Susan: Are you cranky or flirting?
Abby: What?
Susan: 'Polishing your poles'?

Haha.

LOVE that exchange. There was always comedy gold when Abby and Susan were put in a scene together.

They could make a lot of scenes lighter.

For me, Secrets and Lies is the classic that it is because of them.
