With this being the final season of
ER, the show naturally wants to bring back some of its old stars for cameos. George Clooney is the big fish to land, of course, and producers say they've got a
juicy storyline to lure him in.
Showrunner David Zabel told TV Guide, "We have a really good story line for every [major] character from the past to show [the actors] what we want to do."
Anthony Edwards is already on board to appear in flashbacks on the Nov. 13 episode (since his character, Dr. Greene, is dead), along with Paul McCrane (Dr. Romano) and Laura Innes (Dr. Weaver). Noah Wyle will guest star in four episodes, and Alex Kingston may show up as Dr. Corday.

If I told you intense actor Eriq La Salle was coming back to TV in a project
where he plays one of about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, would you ever guess in a hundred years that the show would be a comedy? Me neither. Which is why
his new project for NBC might be interesting. The former
ER star is executive producing
and starring in the comedy, called
The Four Next Door; where the Four Horsemen are forced to live among the humans when they arrive on earth ten years too early. Heh. Either this is going to be funny as hell or depressing as hell.
Anyway, it's not like this is the first time La Salle has done comedy. Remember he played the Jheri-curled Darryl Jenks in
Coming to America. Of course, that was eighteen years ago, but it's on his resume.
(Update: La Salle is executive producing the show, not starring in it. Thanks to Chris Rose for the clarification. I think I inferred the words "starring in" when I read the article. My mistake.)Posted Jan 14th 2006 12:32PM by Anna Johns

What's
happening on
ER these days? It must be something big because the NBC hospital drama made a huge comeback last
week, beating out a repeat of
Without a Trace with 15.4 million viewers. Yes, it was a repeat. But, even the
repeats on CBS have been kicking NBC's butt lately.
I gave up on
ER years ago, even before George
Clooney left, because I couldn't handle having a major emotional breakdown each week. I tuned in for a couple of key
episodes over the years: i.e. when Lucy and Carter got stabbed in the kidneys, when Doug left, when Carol left, and
when Dr. Green died.
So tell me, is it any good?
