Randi


Whatever became of Randi (Kristin Minter), the desk clerk in the E.R. that worked alongside Jerry on and off from season 2 - 10?? According to Wikipedia, her last episode was "Shifts Happens" in Season 10. After that, there was no mention or explanation of why she left. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I can't remember for sure but I think they never explained her exit.

She is in fact mentioned once, in an early episode of the final season, when there's a shortage of desk clerks and either Frank or Jerry is ringing round to find someone (the context for this is made slightly clearer in the deleted scenes for that episode). As to why Randi/Kristin left, I'm afraid I have no idea. ER does seem to have a habit of dropping characters without much explanation, but the cast is so huge it's not too surprising they don't get around to mentioning everyone. Lydia disappears for ages then appears briefly in the final episode as if she's never been away. Skye Wexler just disappears. Dubenko is not in the last episode and is not mentioned. Dusty Crenshaw similarly vanishes. Kristin Minter is on Twitter if you want to try asking about Randi (my favourite clerk by miles), but she's not very active.

Remember how Randi had a side clothing business which she called Randi Wear? Maybe it really took off and she left to do it full time. Maybe Kristin Minter wanted to pursue other acting roles and that's why she left ER.

Randi was always my favorite desk clerk next to Jerry.
