dr. mark greene was written out of the series because actor anthony edwards had decided that he wanted to move on to other opportunities. greene was shown in an old christmas photo in season 10's "freefall," alongside abby and drs. lewis, carter, and kovac. he also appears in photos included in the slideshow shown at dr. carter's farewell party in the season 11 episode "the show must go on". greene was also heard in a voice-over telling carter that he needed to "set the tone" in the er (which, incidentally, was what dr. morgenstern told dr. greene in the pilot episode). in the season 12 episode "body and soul," he is mentioned during a flashback to 2002, when dr. pratt tells his patient, nate lennox (james woods), that the reason the er has few staff working is because they are at greene's funeral. in season 14's "blackout," nurse chuny marquez says that she can't believe the er is going to be led by pratt and morris and says how she remembers when mark greene and doug ross used to run the place. nurse sam taggart then says, "who?", since she started working in the er long after they had left.
