- History
Dr. Anthony "Tony" Gates is a fictional medical doctor from the television series ER. He is portrayed by John Stamos.
Gates first appeared in the episode "The Human Shield", as a paramedic who was fired at while trying to assist a young kidnapping victim. Gates transported the girl to County General following the arrest of her kidnapper. While assisting in the treatment of the girl, Gates met Dr. Neela Rasgotra.
In the beginning, Neela seems irritated by Gates, but the two soon developed a friendship. Gates later revealed to Neela that he is a medical student who is spending time with the paramedics until he graduates.
In the episode, "Two Ships", when two airplanes collided and crashed in downtown Chicago, Gates and Neela again worked together, this time out in the field. Gates was badly injured when a burning building (which he had run into to save a woman) exploded. Neela was forced to perform risky liver surgery on him in the field. He eventually recovered from his injuries.
Gates' strong willed and often rebellious attitude led him to a few confrontations with attending Dr. Greg Pratt, who on many occasions called him a "cowboy"; this provided an ironic counterpoint to Pratt's earlier, similar difficulties with Dr. Luka Kovač and Dr. John Carter.
Gates reunited with Neela and encountered feelings with her. The two of them bickered with one another, but eventually had a fling which began to upset Dr. Ray Barnett, who also had feelings for Neela but could never quite face up to them.
It was revealed that Gates had a girlfriend named Meg who was using her deceased husband, Keith's life insurance money to get him through medical school. She also had a daughter named Sarah, who loved Tony more as a best friend instead of a father figure. Gates' and Meg's relationship was revealed at first being casual friends through Meg's husband, Keith who was friends with Gates from their service in the first Gulf War. After Keith's death, Gates decided to live with Meg and Sarah to help them out. He would eventually become intimate with Meg. Meg clearly had big hopes for him to provide more for his family. He didn't mention his domestic status at the hospital, and it was unknown even to Neela.
