Parminder Nagra Online - Winter 2006 / 2007

Winter 2006 /2007

February 28^th 2007

So here it is…it finally happened… the moment the ‘Reela Roomies’ fans have been waiting for since Dr Rasgotra grudgingly accepted Dr Barnett’s offer of an apartment share.

‘The k i s s’ snuck in at the conclusion of an otherwise ‘Neela light’ episode of ER on Thursday. While Gates was pre-occupied with his alcoholic father and relocating his (step?) daughter, Ray finally gets the girl – or does he?

The damnable thing is, those cruel NBC schedulers have seen fit to make us wait until April 12^th for more… Doh!. Fear not Parmaniacs, we have plenty in store to provide you with a substitute ‘Mindi’ fix throughout the month ahead.

Meanwhile, while taking a gentle stroll through the more recondite corners of the blogsphere, we chanced upon a very curious piece.
Major Danby, contributor to ‘The Daily Kos’, is convinced that should he secure a date with Parminder, it might hasten a resolution to the fraught situation in Iraq.
Read the Major’s reasoning behind his proposition here, but leave your ‘serious head’ at the door.

Parminder Nagra Online welcomes in Spring tomorrow - look out for the new updates page...

February 21^st 2008 - PNO gets F L A S H !

February 20^th 2007

Parminder has become something of a regular on 'The Craig Ferguson Show' in recent times. She will be a guest again on the Scottish raconteur's
'Late Late Show' tonight.

February 15^th 2007

Our regular resume of events down at County General continues today.
See 'Neela's ER Diary' entry for February 8^th 2007. Parminder offered some insights into her own view of the developing character of Dr Rasgotra in a brief interview with TV Squad’s Joel Keller at the recent NBC Winter Press Party.

"Neela went from being this nerdy ‘braniac’ character to being the slut of the ER this year!. She's a very lonely character, and she's still trying to figure out her stuff with Gates, what all of that means, and does he have too much baggage? It's going to kind of get 'rocky' with that situation". Shane's character, Ray, she's going to keep thinking 'What if?'. He doesn't have any baggage, and he's there and he's interested in her. So I think she's going to be very conflicted about how she feels about things.
It's so great for me that the writers saw that potential. And whatever they throw at me, I deal with within the confines of Neela's character. It's so much fun to see her deal with it and it is very interesting to watch."

A new episode of ER, 'Crisis of Conscience', can be seen in the US tonight. In the UK, Season 13, Episode 7 (Jigsaw) premiers on E4 at 09:00pm

February 9^th 2007 - ER shows strong vital signs

The latest entry in the ER Diary recaps an intense but brilliant episode in the dramas thus far excellent 13^th season. ‘Murmurs of the heart’ exemplifies the fine acting and writing that has maintained the shows extraordinary popularity.

Although our resume focuses on Parminder’s character, special mention is due to Goran Visnic and Forest Whitaker for their performances in the moving conclusion to the 'Ames vs Kovac' story arc.

February 6^th 2007 - Roomies Reunited ?

Don’t get too exited ‘Reela’ fans!. Parminder is pictured at Shane West’s recent Hollywood housewarming party. The two ER ‘roomies’ were joined by a guest list composed primarily of the shows regular cast members. The party is featured in this months ‘InStyle’ magazine.
Check the new Print Media page for more.

February 1^st 2007 - Roomies Reunited ?

February is amongst us and the new month brings a fresh fix of ‘Neela’ action for fans deprived of a new ER episode for the last couple of weeks. ‘Murmurs of the heart’, the latest from Season 13, premiers in the US tonight.

The PNO Multimedia pages are now up and running with more video and print features to be added in the coming days.

January 25^th 2007

NBC's annual Winter Press Tour 'All Star Party' was held at The Ritz Carlton in Pasadena on January 17^th.
Parminder attended with other 'ER' cast members and a plethora of well known faces from the network's rosta. Mindi looked 'a picture' in a black dress.

Sadly, no new ER episode is due to air in the US until next week (February 1^st).
'The Doctor's Diary' will bring you up to speed with the
latest events at County General here

January 12^th 2007 - LA beckons the Beckhams

Soccer superstar David Beckham, the hero for Parminder’s character in her breakthrough movie of 2002, is to join LA Galaxy in August this year. A relaxation of the Major League Soccer salary cap in 2006 means the deal is reported to be worth $250 million over a five year contract!.

Dismissing the obvious monetary incentive, Beckham explained his own motivation for the move: “I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world’s most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own”.

The rumoured transfer to MLS has been the subject of much speculation in the US and in Madrid, where David has ‘plied his trade’ for the last three years. It also completes a curious example of art predicting life. The conclusion of 'Bend it like Beckham' saw Jess and Jules depart for Santa Clara, California, to pursue their soccer dreams. Parminder’s career path soon afterwards saw her decamp to LA to join the cast of ER and now Beckham follows suit in locating to the Golden State.

I see the potential for a photo opportunity…

January 9^th 2007 - LA beckons the Beckhams

The ER Gallery has been updated to include four new images from ‘Breach of trust’ and Neela’s ER Diary recounts details of the latest spanner to be thrown in the works of Dr Rasgotra’s faltering relationship with Tony Gates.

UK Parmaniacs - look away now if you don’t want to be ‘spoiled’!.
(Hope you enjoyed ‘Bloodline’).

January 4^th 2007

Tonight sees the resumption of ER Season 13 in the States. The pre-Christmas break episode found our very own Dr Rasgotra the object of the personal and professional attentions of a seemingly growing number of County General’s male employees. Her irresolute relationship with Gates seems likely to be tested still further by the intervention of his ‘ex’.
Meg, already in denial and appearing unwilling to accept that her feelings for Tony are not reciprocated, looks set to further reveal herself as a potential ‘bunny boiler’.

Meanwhile, ER deprived UK Parmaniacs get their first opportunity to sample season 13 tonight. Episode One, ‘Bloodline’, premiers on E4 at 9.00pm.
