Awww, Juliana, you don't want to come back to County?
Seems like we've been hearing news about old
ER members coming back to the show for its final season, and
now comes word from Juliana Marguiles. The actress says that she won't be coming back to the show because she thinks that Carol Hathaway left on a good note and she really can't see how they could top it. A lot of fans would probably say they don't want them to top the character's last appearance, they just want to see the character one more time before the series fades off into the sunset.

Tonight's the night that thousands of fans of
ER have been waiting for, the return of Jennifer Aniston! Oh wait,
that's 30 Rock that she'll be on tonight. Never mind.
Actually, tonight is the night that Dr. Mark Greene (
Anthony Edwards) returns to County to try to save the life of Dr. Banfield's sick son. As we told you last week, Greene isn't really alive and he's not a ghost. It seems that Dr. Banfield came to County with her son and husband, years before she became the new head of the ER, and Greene was the doctor who worked on her son. Her memory (and the flashbacks) are triggered by a current story where Banfield is trying to save the life of another child who comes to County.
Edwards isn't the only one who comes back. Since most of the episode takes place years ago, we also see
Laura Innes as Dr. Weaver and
Paul McCrane as Dr. Romano. Innes has a rather dramatic entrance in the clip after the jump!

When the news came that
ex-ER star Anthony Edwards was going to return to the show for an episode this last season, fans wondered how that could happen, since he died (and we mean really died, not soap opera died) of a brain tumor around 6 years ago. Would he be a ghost? A hallucination only a patient can see? Would he be Mark's long-lost twin brother (Matt, or maybe Monty) who comes to work at County because his brother worked there? The news that Dr. Mark Greene is going to interact somehow with new doctor Cate Banfield (Angela Bassett) just makes the scenario more confusing.
But now we have our answer. Edwards tells the AP that
Mark will be shown via flashback in an
ER story we haven't seen before.

At the NBC party for the TCA press tour earlier this month, there was a small contingent of
ER cast members floating around, but two of them happened to be my favorites: Linda Cardellini and Parminder Nagra (what, you think I was going to say Shane West?). Both actresses seem to be more prominently involved in the veteran show's storylines this year: Cardellini's Samantha Taggart has already had to deal with killing her fugitive ex-husband and now is trying to figure out how to control a son whose behavior is going south, and Nagra's Neela Rasgotra has been in a torrid affair with John Stamos' character, Tony Gates.
I caught up with both of them and asked them about how they think the year's been going so far and what's in store for each of their characters during the remainder of the season.

For those of you who watched
last week's ER and thought, "Whoa! Weaver got fired?!", you're not alone. But if you also thought that there might be an opening for Laura Innes' character to stick around, you'd be wrong. Innes tells TVGuide.com that
she's definitely leaving the show after tonight's episode; she may come back for an episode or two next year, but that's about it.
Basically, after playing Kerry Weaver for over eleven years, she just felt it was time to go. That's kind of a surprise to me, because for the first time in a few years, the Weaver character was actually going in a good direction, with a new hip, a new girlfriend, and that TV job. And, because she was just a plain attending and not management, her power-hungry side was gone. But that was part of the plan to have her leave, according to Innes, as well as making it a mid-season surprise.

(S13E12) Well, that was unexpected.
Laura Innes' character, Doctor Kerry Weaver, wasn't in many episodes over the last few years, but it looked like she was coming back into the normal ER fold. It started late last season when the issues with her degenerative hip condition were resolved, allowing her to walk freely without the need of a crutch. Then, after preventing Kovac from getting fired, she was demoted back down to the ER as a mere attending. She became a medical reporter for a local Chicago news broadcast, and she began dating her segment producer. Things were looking up for Kerry.
Now, it looks like she's leaving for good.

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?
