Yes, these Twilight Zone St. Elsewhere's are really strange... and GOOD
(remember the dream sequence with Peter in the morgue... AFTER he was dead?)?
However, NBC had nothing to do with Bry (or anyone else, to my knowledge)
leaving the show.  The writers and producers of St. Elsewhere just decided
to cut the list of regulars down, to concentrate on others.  I find it
particularly intresting, because on this show, it's fully possible that a
major character may completely change character, or leave, or die, with
little warning (rather like life).  Or come back to haunt you in your
dreams...

Strangely enough, I've been seeing actors from ST. ELSEWHERE, HILL STREET
and V being swapped around like crazy.  The fellow who played Norman Bates
on V was a shrink on HSB a week or two back, Terrance Knox, who played Peter
White, was on V, and I keep hearing that Carla from CHEERS is going to have
her baby at St. Eligius.  The latter rumor, to be truly all-encompassing,
should begin with Carla being given a police escort to the hospital by Hill
& Renko.  And the kid should be half-human, half-lizard (which Carla will
say is perfectly normal for her brood...).

      "I want to buy a husband who, every week when I sit down to watch "St.
       Elsewhere", won't scream, "FORGET IT, BLANCHE... IT'S TIME FOR 'HEE
       HAW'!!" "
