Continuity mistake: After they load the woman from the wrecked car into the ambulance, Roy and an ambulance attendant are riding in the back with her. In the shots of the moving ambulance, until it's involved in the traffic accident, we should be able to see Roy and the attendant through the windows, but they're simply not there.

Messin' Around - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: Before Old Bill wakes up, Brackett, Morton, and Early are talking in the hallway outside Bill's room, and the hallway is a big, wide open space. After Bill wakes up, Dixie goes out to the hallway to get Brackett, and when they walk into Bill's room we can see the hallway behind them, and it's a fraction of the size it was before, only about 4-5 feet wide now.

Messin' Around - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: After bringing Old Bill to the ER, when Squad 51 gets back to the station, in the shot of the squad driving backwards toward the driveway, the engine we see parked in the apparatus bay is the Crown from the first two seasons, not their current Ward LaFrance.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

Show generally

Question: In quite a few episodes of Emergency there is a character that the doctors and other nurses call Nurse Carol. She is the older nurse with dark hair. I would say she is on at least a fourth of all episodes in all seasons yet I can not see this actress getting credited or listed as uncredited anywhere. I wonder if she was an actual nurse. Does any one know who she was. Yes there also were a couple of other actresses who played a nurse named Carol on one or two episodes and they are listed in the episode guides. She also is the patient with her arm in the cast talking to Dr. Morton in the episode 6:18 Firehouse Quintet.

Answer: On IMDB, actress Anne Schedeen is listed as playing Nurse Carol on six episodes from 1974-76.
