Carter is reading out a letter to the ER staff from Dr Greene. They then read the note from Dr Corday telling them that Mark died in the early hours of that morning. :'(
Kudos to Anthony Edwards for portraying beloved tv-charactrer Mark Greene. When viewers actually feel like somebody they knew has died, you know you've done a very good job.
@@mediachristiantv7472 Actress whom played Chuny also died, Police killed her when they went to her apartment on a "welfare" call and thought she had a gun, and shot her.
Greene's illness and death happened shortly after my best friend at work died of a brain tumor. It tore me apart because I had just lived through it. I admit I wept through this scene and the entire episode that followed.
Me too!! I cried like I lost a beloved family member. These characters were the way I got through some very tough times. This was an amazing show and nothing can ever repeat the world they created.
Noah is basically just standing there reading, but he puts so much heat and emotion in the scene. The way he hesitates and gets choked up when he gets to Dr Corday's part is so well done.
I think that Dr John Truman Carter ir one of the best caracters ever created. And I woude love seen more of him, what happened with Kem, what happened to his clinic. And if he ever got back to County.
Rachael Blomquist Noah Wyle may not have won the award, but he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Emmy five consecutive years, losing out to people like Ray Walston in Picket Fences, Hector Elizindo in Chicago Hope and Michael Badalucco in The Practice. Even without a win, that's pretty significant peer recognition for his portrayal of John Carter.
seamus1956 not to take anything away from those wins, but maybe, justttt maybe, Ray Walston winning over Noah is sentimental..??!! I think Noah should have won many awards for his portrayal of Carter..none more so than this time. It is years later and I still burst into tears at this scene...really think the same could be said of all the winners in this category? Ugh it's just damn unfair.
I was just asking myself the same thing. They are replaying all of the episodes on TV and this one just played. Absolutely balling as if it was the first time watching.
I've seen that scene at least a half-dozen times and it never ceases to make me feel a sense of profound sadness and loss- almost like Mark Greene was a real person and close friend. In a sense, because of the wonderful work of Anthony Edwards, Mark Greene was real- and the world is a colder, poorer place without him.
I understand not wanting to watch it but I never stopped, I watched it til the end, it remained a wonderful show even after Mark passed away, I cried like a baby though
ER was known for giving their main characters very extensive, respectful good-byes when they left. Where your average TV show has a person drop dead unexpectedly from one minute to the left, for cheap shock value or bad show planning, ER spent entire story archs that took several months to slowly unfold. Though there are many great examples, like John Carter, Jeannie Boulet or Carol Hathaway, nothing beats the farewell that was granted to Mark Greene alias Anthony Edwards. The whole sequence surrounding his death was incredibly well done and tremendously dignified. They gave the storyline almost one and a half seasons because that was the time that it needed. I remember how I watched that double-episode "The Letter" and "On the Beach" at night with tears in my eyes - and I really never cry when watching a TV show. Maybe it was because especially "On the Beach" was so realistic and powerful that it transcended the boundaries of a TV show. I felt like I was witnessing something very real happing to a good friend.
I think since it was created by Incredible writer Michael Crichton, writer of Jurassic park and SO many awsome books, who happens to have a mecial degree from Harvard
This was the show to watch and still is. Even with the 90s tech, I believe it's aged well over the years. It has a real feel to it and the actors put their all into their characters.
By far, ER was and still is one of the best dramas EVER on TV. Still watch ER til this day on syndication on POP. It really resonated when I worked in hospital in NYC for 4 years. Felt like we had lost a loved one - that's when you know you have a great show. 😢 #ER
For me this is one of the most powerful moments in TV history. Heartbreaking yet, so subtle in tone. Still the saddest one of, if not the saddest death in TV.
@@marymiller4494 what made Henry Blake's death such a gut punch was that, other that Gary Burghoff (Radar) and the show's producers, NO ONE else in the scene knew what was about to happen. The stunned, tearful reactions you saw were real.
This sad episode was brilliantly written, filmed and acted. Still puts a lump in my throat. The entire series of ER was perfectly written, filmed and acted making it one of the best television series ever.
Can this scene be ever forgotten??? I’m afraid not for it’s the most touching scene in ER. Your heart just breaks and tears flows… The best show ever in the history of television! 👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Really, I hadn't noticed! It's okay to be sad about something real or not. Many real people do die like this every day- that's sad. The portrayal of loss was spot on and I do not regret my emotions. I'm just happy I have some.
+Gernald I agree with you, Gernald, fiction or not this was heartwrenching then and, all these many years later, it's heartwrenching now. A word to Princess, yes this is fiction but it's also real life. I've lost patients to disease and trauma and I've lost colleagues to disease and trauma. Scenarios like the ones in ER happen to us everyday. They are no less touching because they involve fictional characters. I've seen the same story played out in life many times, so whether in a hospital room or on TV, the story really does happen. Seeing it here is a reminder.
This whole park of the death of Mark Green was some of the sadest time in televison history. I don't care if you are a gal or a guy, if you don't at least tear up somethings wrong. To me still one of the greatest shows in history. There was reason it was on for 15 seasons.
I remember this so well when I watched it. ER was something that helped me through some tough time. It came out every Tuesday in Germany and whenever I felt miserably, i told myself " Only ... days left until ER on Tuesday". When Mark died on the show, it was really heartbraking for every fan who watched the show for so long.
Dear ER Gang, So here I am, out on the beach at 5:30 in the evening. Elizabeth is sitting with me and drinking juice, but I'm all about the Mai Tai's. The sun is going down, Rachel is dipping Ella's toes in the ocean as they head off on their quest for the perfect seashell. Weirdly enough, I find myself thinking, you know what would make this moment complete? Some jogger dropping to the sand, short of breath, so I can sweep in with a piece of bamboo to perform a nice, clean intubation, fix the guy up, and send him off with a good, simple dispo. Which I guess is my way of saying that I miss you all and that dingy place. Lots of times I thought I should have chosen a different career or go into private practice, something easier, less grinding, more lucrative, but since I've been gone, I realize that outside of doing what I'm doing right now, sitting on this beach with my family, staying at County all those years, doing what we do on a daily basis was the best choice I ever made. I know what you're thinking, but trust me, it's not so hard to appreciate once it's over. As much as a part of me would like to believe that the ER can't go on without me, the smarter part realizes that you are an incredible group of doctors and nurses who approach every day with such skill, compassion and thoroughness, that when it comes to patient care, I know my absence will hardly be felt. As for friendship and comradery, well, that’s another matter. In order to leave, I had to go the way I did, but I wouldn't want any of you to think that that meant that I didn't value each of you and the years we worked together, or that I didn't have things of a more personal nature to say. Most of you, I think, have an idea of what those things might be without me writing them down, but still... Ella is laughing and waving for me, Rachel’s found her shell. Mark. Mark died this morning at 6:04 a.m. The sun was rising, his favorite time of day. I sent this on so that you might know he was thinking of you all and that he appreciated knowing you would remember him well. Elizabeth
Even after all this time seeing this I'm sitting here bawling like a baby ... I loved this show more than life ....it had an outstanding 15 year run :) ! I still miss it I wish they could make a reunion show:-) !
Anthony Edwards was magnificent in portraying Dr. Mark Greene for all those years. I enjoyed catching his performances in other works when I saw him appear in movies, but I always looked forward to this anchor character and his steadfast talent. While seasons on ER after his departure were certainly very good, the show lost something for me after he left. It is wonderful when a show is so magical.
@@kgatch113a go back and watch the rest then. I stopped watching when carter left, but then i went back and watched the rest. Imo You shouldn’t stop watching a show that you like just because a character that you like leaves, unless the show gets terrible after they leave
Started watching the whole series for the 4th time. Impressive every time. Without a doubt the best series ever! Such powerfull characters. Benton and Carter had such chemistry...and Mark...so sad. Scene with the greatest impact of the series
✳️ Originally watched this as a teenager - Mark's attitude to life, his generosity, his gentle spirit and the manner of his death, will stay with me for the rest of my life! I will always remember his inspirational final words to his little girl and us all. 💫
I was always so impressed with how they handled this episode and the story that was written. This was done very tastefully but personably. If there was a real Dr Greene he would be proud too.
There were only 4 medical shows I watched (outside of the reality ones), and they were ER, Third Watch, Casualty, and Holby City (aswell as Doctors), with Casualty and Holby City being sister shows. As for being a doctor, that wasn't really something I saw myself doing, but I did want to be John Carter's wife (and the mother of his kids).
Watched this episode and cried. I thought the rest of the ER reavring to his death was all we were getting. But the next episode was following Dr. Greene's final days - headache from crying. They put us through it twice. Great two episodes. Havent watched since.
I remember the first time i saw this episode i was 13 years old and i cried so hard, that i had 2 days headache.... now 13 years later, again... i am crying like a teenager... this is the saddest moment in TV hostory.
I cried so much at the end of series 8, this scene, his last days in Hawaii, the funeral very sad. ER's not as good as it once was. It remains good, but it used to be excellent.
Brings back memories I remember the letter from a friend telling me that our friend Sherly had died I never finished reading the letter I just couldn't get past that part. I never told her just how much I respected her and loved her. She was born male lived as a woman when doing so wasn't cool and was frowned on. Sherly it's been nearly 25 years and tonight I shed a tear for you. BTW this episode left me devastated.
I grew up watching medical dramas as they were my mother’s favourite shows. From the likes of Dr Kildare, and Marcus Welby MD, to Aussie favourites - All Saints and A Country Practice - ER always stood out. I never missed watching it every week. Reliving this episode still brings tears to my eyes. I loved Mark Greene’s character. Anthony Edwards did a great job I still enjoy medical shows like New Amsterdam, The Good Doctor, Chicago Med, Transplant and 9-1-1. There will always be another medical drama. Thank you for sharing.
I haven't watched er probably since the times this episode aired.... yet here I am, crying like a baby same as when I first saw this episode.... such a fantastic show...
When I watched the episode so many years ago, I can't help but remember the entire episode. I watched it when it was first run. I cried then and I cried again just remembering how he was sitting on the beach with his daughter looking at the ocean with the sun going down.
I loved ER. And Mark was my favorite doc there. (well and Mr.Cutie, Carter) I had a big fat crush on him for some reason. Yes, this episode was very hard to watch as was "Love's Labor Lost" or I think that's what it was called. The one where Dr. Greene lost his patient during a emergency C- Section. I bawled for 10 minutes straight!
Once upon a time, I watched this show with my mom. This episode of TV, more than anything we shared in about 40 of watching television shows together, defined what I remember about her and TV.
It's a shame this clip doesn't include the moment when Dr. Weaver is reading the letter and gets upset that it was posted on the bulletin board. Her devastation was so clear. Another great performance. And the letter staying up as life does go on.
I loved the show, and was incredibly moved by the storyline and Dr. Greene's death. Like many, he was my favorite character on the show. Years later, finding this, I am saddened to realize that the writers pretty much just lifted the scene from the movie 'Mr. Roberts.'
Oh boy!!! I'll never forget watching this episode. I cried like a baby. I LOVE ER!! And yet sometime after Dr. Greene passed, I stopped watching it. This episode touched my heart so much!!
Hell, I’ve seen, bawled my eyes out, am currently rewatching the series on Hulu and saw that part and cried again and teared up again just watching this clip. The writers on that show knew how to write and I can’t count how many times I watched an episode and sat there with my jaw hanging open. After this episode I quit watching. Glad I picked it up again. Rest In Peace Dr. Green. No one cared more about that ER than you. I only hope if I ever end up in an ER that I get someone like him to look after me.
One of the best medical shows ever. Great cast,great characters,real writing.
there will never be a show like this
the best one
One of the best shows period
Kudos to Anthony Edwards for portraying beloved tv-charactrer Mark Greene. When viewers actually feel like somebody they knew has died, you know you've done a very good job.
Agreed!
I’ll never forget watching the 2 episodes of Dr. Mark Greene dying. I cried like a baby the whole time. So yes, Anthony Edwards did an incredible job!
I know i cried...
I still can’t listen to Somewhere Over The Rainbow without thinking of Mark’s death on ER.
Man, it's been YEARS since I've seen this episode, and it's still a tear jerker.
And fast forward 20 years…the member of the cast that died IRL was Malik (Deezer D)…
Ikr
The staff at county would have gotten that in the afternoon or early evening given the time difference between Illinois and Hawaii.
@@mediachristiantv7472 Actress whom played Chuny also died, Police killed her when they went to her apartment on a "welfare" call and thought she had a gun, and shot her.
Dr. Greene was such a great character. Kudos to the writers and to Anthony Edwards. I mourned his death like he was a real person.

@@shaundagaffney8335Same! The ugly, can’t catch your breath kinda crying.
Dr. Mark Greene truly was the heart of ER
and Carter certainly went above and beyond at executing Mark's request
Noah is basically just standing there reading, but he puts so much heat and emotion in the scene. The way he hesitates and gets choked up when he gets to Dr Corday's part is so well done.
When the camera pans to Carter when he realizes Mark has died...powerful. Noah Wyle should have won an award for his portrayal of Carter.
I think that Dr John Truman Carter ir one of the best caracters ever created. And I woude love seen more of him, what happened with Kem, what happened to his clinic. And if he ever got back to County.
Rachael Blomquist they should do a show on carter's life

I have never cried more over a character death than I have Dr. Greene. 😭 21 yrs later I’m still sobbing.
I went through 8 Kleenexes when I watched this. 😢
This, and waaaay back toward the beginning when Raoul died. 😢
Me too...
If you knew Susan and Mark’s relationship.. you’d understand how much her heart is breaking in this scene.
Susan's nuanced/subtle/understated reaction to the news of Mark's death was EXTREMELY well acted by Sherry Stringfield.
I remember the last time he saw her, and the curtain got pulled.
It is truly heartbreaking. They had a chance but she was leaving.
so true love the show
Heartbreaking
Why I'm still crying on this in 2020? This was one of the most heart breaking moments of TV series ever.
I was just asking myself the same thing. They are replaying all of the episodes on TV and this one just played. Absolutely balling as if it was the first time watching.
I'm crying too great show. He death hit me the hardest of all the great stories on ER
I know. I'm rewatching the series, for 5th time & definitely not looking forward to mark dying.
2022.... still happening
It's 2022 and theirs a tear in my eye
Wyle should have won an Emmy for playing Carter. He was so real.

Just saw this again on 9/1/2023 and I'm wiping my tears as I'm posting this. Great clip, Great show! Nothing has matched it since!
After Dr. Greene passed away, the show wasn't the same without him....I couldn't enjoy it anymore

Completely different type of show - it doesn't even make any sense to compare them.
Rebecca Wright I agree
Amen
Agreed.100000%.
Life time movie
Years later and this scene still leaves you in tears
Drama shows don't do deaths like this anymore.
To this day, I still cry every time I see this.
Heartbreaking...but no one better than Carter to read it.

To be honest, after Mark Greene died, I never watched the rest of E.R. It wasn’t the same without him, I missed him.
I watched the remaining seasons, but it was not as good without Mark Greene. He was hands down my favorite person in the E.R series
But Carter was his successor in attituds, charm, swettnes, knowlegdes, skills and … “ the touch” as Mark told him before he left the hospital☝🏻❤️
I stopped when Julianna Marguiles left, but I wished I had stayed for this storyline.

I cried so much at the end of series 8, this scene, his last days in Hawaii, the funeral very sad.
ER's not as good as it once was. It remains good, but it used to be excellent.
To this day, I still can’t get through any of these scenes without losing it. Fantastic show, I haven’t rewatched it in ages
This was such a phenomenal show. So brilliantly acted, and more true to real life than any other medical show. I miss it!
After this E.R was not the same..
Caen Viso after this, it was not the same. after carter left, i stoped watching -.-
Yasi I share your feeling!
Yasi I stopped watching after Hathaway left, and then I stopped watching for good until the last season
Dr,Green was one of the good guys
I thought it was when George Cloobeybleft
Brings back memories I remember the letter from a friend telling me that our friend Sherly had died I never finished reading the letter I just couldn't get past that part. I never told her just how much I respected her and loved her. She was born male lived as a woman when doing so wasn't cool and was frowned on. Sherly it's been nearly 25 years and tonight I shed a tear for you. BTW this episode left me devastated.
After all these year's one of most sadest TV scene. Always tears in my eyes... ER was one of the best TV shows!
Watching in 2022.
The part where John reads Corday's "P.S." about Mark's death *literally* just gave me the chills just now.
Omg always cry my eyes out watching this.
I grew up watching medical dramas as they were my mother’s favourite shows. From the likes of Dr Kildare, and Marcus Welby MD, to Aussie favourites - All Saints and A Country Practice - ER always stood out. I never missed watching it every week. Reliving this episode still brings tears to my eyes. I loved Mark Greene’s character. Anthony Edwards did a great job I still enjoy medical shows like New Amsterdam, The Good Doctor, Chicago Med, Transplant and 9-1-1. There will always be another medical drama. Thank you for sharing.
I haven't watched er probably since the times this episode aired.... yet here I am, crying like a baby same as when I first saw this episode....
such a fantastic show...
One of the most saddest episodes, I bawl my eyes out every time
Still gets me even today 😢
When I watched the episode so many years ago, I can't help but remember the entire episode. I watched it when it was first run. I cried then and I cried again just remembering how he was sitting on the beach with his daughter looking at the ocean with the sun going down.
How can this still make me cry after decades?😢
This scene, no matter how many times I watch it, never fails to make me cry! -/3
I loved ER. And Mark was my favorite doc there. (well and Mr.Cutie, Carter) I had a big fat crush on him for some reason. Yes, this episode was very hard to watch as was "Love's Labor Lost" or I think that's what it was called. The one where Dr. Greene lost his patient during a emergency C- Section. I bawled for 10 minutes straight!
Once upon a time, I watched this show with my mom. This episode of TV, more than anything we shared in about 40 of watching television shows together, defined what I remember about her and TV.
all these years later, and i'm still watching this balling my eyes out, i loved and miss this show
My dad died on Father's Day this year around the same time of day. Five minutes before six in the morning. This hit me really hard.
This scene gets me every single time 😭😭😭
All these years later and I still get choked up. ER was the best
Just seen this on Hulu and man I was crying like a baby. This show was amazing to watch I never missed a week of it!
It's a shame this clip doesn't include the moment when Dr. Weaver is reading the letter and gets upset that it was posted on the bulletin board. Her devastation was so clear. Another great performance.
And the letter staying up as life does go on.
She would be quiet
This episode was on tv today, never fails to make me cry, er is not the same without Mark :(
Loved ER ,watched it three times over the years ,great lead roles terrific acting
It's amazing how fast times goes. The best gift that you can give anyone is your time. It's priceless.
Nothing can beat ER and NYPD Blue. 2 of the best shows in TV history.
I was an ER nurse and loved this show.
I remember watching this episode as a kid and bawling… just as much as it makes me cry now.
Wow. This is truly one of the best episodes of ER. I absolutely LOVE it. Thanks for posting.
One of the most heartbreaking scenes in ER.
I loved the show, and was incredibly moved by the storyline and Dr. Greene's death. Like many, he was my favorite character on the show. Years later, finding this, I am saddened to realize that the writers pretty much just lifted the scene from the movie 'Mr. Roberts.'
I cried watching that episode. I watched every episode from beginning to end. Great show!!
Oh boy!!! I'll never forget watching this episode. I cried like a baby.
I LOVE ER!! And yet sometime after Dr. Greene passed, I stopped watching it.
This episode touched my heart so much!!
I remember watching the episode when he died and couldn't control my shit lol I was crying so hard
Yep, and every time I hear that Hawaiian version of 'Simewhere over the rainbow' I bawl my eyes out!
Paula Cridge never have i cried so hard when mark died OMG SO SAD RIP .
It was extremely sad. Cried like a baby
So do I and want it played at my funeral as well..
Hell, I’ve seen, bawled my eyes out, am currently rewatching the series on Hulu and saw that part and cried again and teared up again just watching this clip. The writers on that show knew how to write and I can’t count how many times I watched an episode and sat there with my jaw hanging open. After this episode I quit watching. Glad I picked it up again. Rest In Peace Dr. Green. No one cared more about that ER than you. I only hope if I ever end up in an ER that I get someone like him to look after me.
It's been YEARS since I've seen this, and I'm STILL a blubbering mess upon hearing this.
Still makes me cry 20 years later. 😥
This episode and the On the Beach episode are about to air on my TV right now. Over 22 years later, watching them still makes me tear up.😢
I remember this sad moment...i like many moments in ER!
