John Stamos will not be starring in an ER spinoff
John Stamos is ready to hang up his scrubs for good.
The actor, who plays Dr. Tony Gates on ER, says that he won’t be spinning off his character into a new series when the medical drama ends next year.
“[I’ve] never offered but there’s been talk about that,” he tells Extra. “I’m really having a great time doing the show and we’re still cranking out good quality. So, I think when they’re done, I’m ready to go off into the sunset.”
He’s not the only one. His co-star, Maura Tierney, recently said she’s ready to be done with her character, Dr. Abby Lockhart, as well. But before they can bid adieu next season – the long-running series’ 15th – there are still storylines to be wrapped up for this season – some of which are proving to be hazardous for John. While shooting a love scene with Linda Cardellini, the 44-year-old failed to make a good impression.
“I bashed her in the nose and I couldn’t get her bra off,” he says. “And she was like, ‘I thought you’d be better at this.’”

I don’t know what people see in this goober.
He’s just gross. Every interview I’ve ever seen w/him he’s just so full of himself. I don’t know why. Ugh.

I just remembered his ex-wife Rebecca Ro(whatever) once said that he asked for naked midgets at his birthday party. And that he invited his guests to swim nude at their pool parties. He’s definitely creepy.

Disagreed, Toonces. I think he’s hot. Always has been. I don’t like his ex wife Rebecca much at all, though.
