Let's get the bad/obvious news out of the way first:
Despite what ER showrunner David Zabel told TV Guide in a recent interview, George Clooney will not -- repeat NOT -- be returning to the show for it's 15th and final season.
According to Clooney's publicist, "He is on record as saying he is not coming back. It is something he has already done. He is busy making movies." If you're an optimist, though, you can always hope for a surprise Clooney return a la the 2000
ER season finale, in which Georgie showed up at the very end of Julianna Margulies' farewell ep.
On a more positive note, there are plenty of actors who ARE joining popular existing series or are attached to promising upcoming projects. A rundown of these casting coups ensues.

I really wish Tom Everett Scott would find a great role he could sink his teeth into for a few years. He's so talented, and yet he keeps ending up in short-lived and dead-end roles.
The actor has
signed for a two-episode guest stint on NBC's
Law & Order, playing Governor Shalvoy, according to a
Hollywood Reporter story. He'll be joined in one of the episodes by Alison Elliott, playing his wife, Rita Shalvoy.
Since breaking onto the Hollywood scene in 1996's
That Thing You Do, Scott has floundered in short-lived series like 2002's
Philly, playing Kim Delaney's love interest, and 2006's
Saved, where he played a troubled paramedic. Most recently, he played
Lucy Liu's estranged fiance on
Cashmere Mafia.

(S01E01) In the beginning, about 2002, television gave us FX's The Shield, a police drama featuring corrupt but effective angst-ridden cops. Two years later the big picture box gave us FX's Rescue Me, a firefighter drama featuring cracked but effected angst-ridden firefighters. Both series have gone on to be critical and popular successes. And now, the glorious TV has given us a new 'first response' drama on TNT called Saved, which features flawed but effective angst-ridden paramedics.
Television should have taken a rest after the first two shows because it didn't do very well on this one. You see, while both The Shield and Rescue Me have main characters that you can connect with, despite the fact they are so flawed, you can't do that with Wyatt Cole, the main character on Saved. Why? Because he's so freakin selfish.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me explain after the jump. However, be warned of the spoilers ahead.

This one is about a troubled paramedic working
in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. The execs at TNT really liked the pilot and have ordered 12 more episodes, to be
shot this spring. Not sure if they actually shoot this thing in Portland but, if so, I'm totally going on a Tom Everett
Scott hunt. He plays the lead character, described as "flawed' and "three-dimensional." Can't we all use
those words to describe ourselves? The series, called
Saved, made the cut among three new dramas that TNT was
considering adding to its summer line-up.
Saved is the third original drama for TNT, which found huge success
last year with
The Closer and
Wanted.
