Family members, friends and acquaintances
Although most performances take place inside the ER, almost every episode has at least one scene outside the ER, exploring one of the personal lives of the characters. The storyline often includes characters who struggle with family problems or romantic relationships or failed romantic relationships. Although viewpoints are very rare from the perspective of these characters, they are still usually round and have a profound effect on the main characters.
