A HARROWING THANKSGIVING TO
REMEMBER FOR PREGNANT HATHAWAY; MAURA TIERNEY ('NEWSRADIO')
GUEST-STARS -- A snowy Thanksgiving turns
chaotic for Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) when
she suddenly goes into labor on the subway and
fights just to get to the ER -- where the real
harrowing battle begins to save her premature
twins with the help of an obstetrics nurse
(guest star Maura Tierney, "NewsRadio"). At the
same time, Hathaway's Lamaze mate, Dr. Greene
(Anthony Edwards), is unaware of her plight as
he brings his precocious daughter (guest star
Yvonne Zima) and his cantankerous visiting dad
(guest star John Cullum) over to Dr. Corday's
(Alex Kingston) for a traditionally
dysfunctional holiday dinner. When Greene is
notified of Hathaway's situation, he leaves poor
Corday with his two relatives who each encounter
a personal crisis. Dr. Malucci (Erik Palladino)
impresses Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) with his
knowledge of a rare affliction. Laura Innes,
Kellie Martin, Paul McCrane, Goran Visnjic and
Michael Michele also star.
TV Guide Review
November 25, 1999: Great Expectations:
Hathaway gives birth to twins in this
exceptionally strong episode. On an
elevated-train platform, Hathaway goes into
labor. Fortunately, Kovac happens by and helps
her to the hospital, where she's determined not
to have her babies in the ER. Her Lamaze coach,
Dr. Greene, is needed, causing him to bow out of
Thanksgiving dinner at Corday's condo. That
leaves the British-born doctor playing awkward
hostess to Greene's daughter and his
cantankerous dad. Complications ensue — in both
Corday's meal and Hathaway's delivery.
TNT Review
Corday spends a
stressful Thanksgiving Day with Greene's father
and daughter, and Hathaway gives birth.
