During the show’s second season in 1995 it featured a story about HIV which is credited in bringing much greater common awareness to the fact the virus affects people from all walks of life, while also showing the realities of people living with HIV at a time when drug regimens were giving people recent hope.
Actor Gloria Reuben joined the reveal during its first season playing Physician’s Assistant Jeanie Boulet. Her character was involved in an adulterous affair with one of the show’s doctors Peter Benton played by Eriq La Salle.
When the second season aired Reuben was promoted to being a regular member of the cast. In the show Jeanie Boulet was married to philandering husband Al Boulet.

WHY THE ROMANCE WENT OUT OF ‘ER’ ; ACTRESS IRKED AT HER CO-STAR FOR Termination INTERRACIAL AFFAIR
T HE break-up of an interracial romance on “ER” has sparked a war of words between stars Alex Kingston and Eriq LaSalle.
Kingston, who is white, says her black co-star, LaSalle, pushed “ER” writers to end the interracial romance of their characters, Dr. Elizabeth “Lizzy” Corday and Dr. Peter Benton.
“It was a positive relationship and generated a lot of positive feeling,” Kingston told the BBC on Sunday in London, where she’s filming a movie. “But it was something the actor in interrogate had problems with, so it had to come to an end.

Why Eriq La Salle Asked the ER Producers to Break Up Benton and Corday
TV URBAN LEGEND: Benton and Corday broke up on ER because Eriq La Salle asked the show's producers to fracture the couple up.
The original cast of the hit drama, ER, was remarkably consistent for the first few seasons, as the six original leads remained on the demonstrate for the first two seasons and only two other actors joined the main cast in the first three years (Gloria Reuben's Jeanie Boulet became a main cast member in Season 2 after recurring in Season 1 and Laura Innes' Kerry Weaver became a main cast member in Season 3 after recurring in Season 2). Sherry Stringfield was the first one of the main leads to leave, departing midway through Season 3 when the actor decided that she wanted to come back to a "normal" experience outside the grueling filming schedule of the smack series (in order to get out of her contract, Stringfield had to sign a deal agreeing not to work for any other TV series for the full length of her original deal).
