St. Elsewhere, which ran on NBC from 1982 to 1988, was more than just a medical drama. It followed the lives of the staff at St. Eligius, an old teaching hospital in Boston, and used storytelling and dark humor to break new ground on television’s small screen. Created by Joshua Brand and John Falsey, the show earned 13 Emmys and became a template for many later medical dramas including ER, Grey’s Anatomy and House. In honor of the series, let’s find out who is still alive from the main cast and remember those we have lost.

And if you’re a super fan and live in southern California, you’re in luck: The next Hollywood Show is set for September 5 and 6, 2025, at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in Burbank, California. This multi-fandom event gives fans a rare opportunity to meet stars in person, and it’s already confirmed that several St. Elsewhere alumni will be attending. Fans can look forward to seeing Ed Begley Jr., David Morse, William Daniels, Bonnie Bartlett and Eric Laneuville in the autograph and photo session areas.
