Although Lewis and Kovac manage to reattach the arm, Romano loses motion and sensation in it as the season progresses, and ultimately elects to have it amputated after he severely burns it and doesn't feel anything.

* NotGoodWithPeople: He's a very talented surgeon and a very competent and studious doctor, but he often butts heads with his co-workers and he can't help but see the patients as anything other than people who need to be sliced and diced. This is more-or-less what flushes his chances at a fellowship in pediatric surgery down the toilet.

* NotGoodWithPeople: While no one would deny she's a superb physician with, surprisingly, an excellent bedside manner, no one likes her much either. It's very telling that despite probably being the most qualified applicant, she's consistently passed over for the ER Chief position and has to resort to underhanded methods to get the job--namely, backstabbing Mark by reneging on her promise to fight Romano's appointment as Chief of Staff.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first episode, he takes time to sit with and comfort a young girl who's mother was taken into the hospital to be treated while she was left behind in the ambulance. During a later trauma, Luka orders the trauma team to prioritize delivering a baby who's mother was involved in a fatal accident. These acts show Luka's kindhearted nature, especially towards children, along with his stoic pragmatism when faced with difficult decisions.
* FriendToAllChildren: Luka has a soft spot for children, talking to them with patience and understanding, even taking the time to learn the latest trends and interests so he can comfort them when they are brought into the ER. It's all but stated this affection is due to the loss of his own children back in Croatia.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Luka is one of the most kind hearted characters in the show's history. He also has no qualms making hard choices about prioritizing patient care (once refusing to allow a man who opened fire on a crowd of people onto a helicopter, despite medical protocol dictating that as the most critical patient he went first), or even beating someone down to teach them a lesson.

He easily could have passed for 40 and was immediately shown to be an authority figure (already an Attending) in the ER.

* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Introduced as a RecurringCharacter in Season 14 before being added to the main cast the following (final) season.
* RapeAsBackstory: His BerserkButton reaction to a pedophile patient leads to him confessing to Morris in "Age of Innocence" that he was molested by one of his mother's boyfriends.

* AscendedExtra: He was a recurring character towards the end of Season 14. He became a regular in the final season.
* BelligerentSexualTension: After weeks of being at each other's throats, he and Neela get into a full-fledged shouting match, which of course culminates in them going at it.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: In the final two seasons, he falls for Neela and they even briefly become a couple. However, throughout their short relationship, Neela remains in love with Ray, and she leaves both Brenner and County General to be with Ray in Baton Rouge.
* EvilBrit: More like "{{Jerkass}} Aussie", but the gist is the same.
* LadykillerInLove: His womanizing ways are established from his first scene, but he falls in love with Neela.
* {{Nepotism}}: To the point of being either a StealthPun--he's Donald Anspaugh's nephew (nepotism comes from the Latin word "''nepos''", which means..."nephew")--or a literal example of {{Nephewism}}.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Introduced as a RecurringCharacter in Season 14 before being added to the main cast the following (final) season.
* RapeAsBackstory: His BerserkButton reaction to a pedophile patient leads to him confessing to Morris in "Age of Innocence" that he was molested by one of his mother's boyfriends.
* ReallyGetsAround: His ''first'' scene is of him [[AThreesomeIsHot waking up in bed with two women]], and his womanizing reputation is well established afterwards.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He has a few of Doug's characteristics, namely an abusive past that influences his good (anger about abused children) and bad (sleeping around) behavior.

!!'''Catherine "Cate" Banfield'''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/angela_bassett_er_promo.jpg]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/AngelaBassett
* BlackBossLady: Not afraid to put people in their place, often with a properly stern expression.
* BrokenBird: Catherine and her husband were devastated by the death of their son. The two were estranged from one another due to the trauma of it for a fair amount of time, though they manage to reunite by the final season.
-->'''Catherine''': I'm not sure why I've done anything I've done since that day. Why'd I not leave my apartment for almost two years? Then I see the news about the tsunami, and I fly to a place 10,000 miles away. Why'd I do that? Why'd I come back? Why did my son have leukemia? I never understood any of it.\\
'''Morris''': I--I'm sorry for your loss. I...I don't really know what to say.\\
'''Catherine''': When your parents are gone, you're an orphan. When your spouse dies, you're a widow or widower. But when you lose your baby...there's no word for that.
* ChekhovsGunman: Her son was one of Mark's last few patients.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Highlighted with her and Morris' interactions. While at the start, there is some friction due to her firmness and his resentment at a stranger taking Pratt's place so soon after his death, by the time of "Heal Thyself", Catherine is able to open up to him about her son's death and Morris looks at her in a different light.
* DueToTheDead: Mark Greene's heroic- if ultimately futile efforts- to save her son have a lasting impact on her years later. As such, she accepts Carter back in the ER after he reveals to her that he knew Greene, and it is shown that the fact that Rachel is his daughter may influence her decision to accept her in the ER.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite her son supposedly being one of Mark's last patients, she was nowhere to be seen in Season 8.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: She makes her first appearance in the second episode of the final season, following Pratt's death in the first episode.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Bossy, abrasive, takes charge, and takes no nonsense? Sounds a lot like either Kerry Weaver or Angela Hicks.
