Luka Kovac may be one of the longest members there compared to the majority of the characters e.g. Neela, Ray or Pratt, but even still the character of Kerry Weaver is now the longest surviving character, since Carter left.  It is only right that she should be first, but then again the woman is hardly in the show any more so I'll agree that she might be the 1st choice.  Also is it not about time that a woman is put at the starting line-up.  I mean even though Susan isn't going to remain for long, should not she or even Abby be placed first in the introduction roll.  With the exception of Carter it is the female characters that have had the most interesting stories.  The Luka/Sam/Steve storyline can hardly be called dynamic as Luka is usually brooding or apologizing to Sam most of the time (whether an apology is necessary or not).  And apart from the odd fling with a girl he instantly forgets the only real storyline Pratt has had is the brief encounter with his father (Danny Glover).  Abby may be a character that some people are divided on, you ether love her or hate her, but I still stand by her or Weaver being first. Now depending on how Luka's character plays out and if the storylines are juicy enough I could change my mind, Ray is getting the job done in most of his scenes, but is still cruised by both Doctors and Nurses. He has to be reminded that this is a teaching hospital, but if Ray is in a trauma, then surely the most important thing is that the patient lives and not the interns learn how to draw blood. But he continues this with other less critical patients and when he's called up on it Susan asks Haleh's opinion. Ray seems peeved off at this and ask why Nurses get to assess doctors.  Come on Ray, they've been in this game longer than you and have taken a lot of crap over the years. Honestly you'd think Ray has never seen an episode of ER. :roll eyes:
