ER – TV Guide
Stars from 15 years of ER scrubbed in as the veteran medical show approaches its series finale on April 2. Among them: Noah Wyle, whose saintly doc Carter arrives from Darfur with both his marriage and his only remaining kidney failing. “This story line is going to bring Eriq La Salle back and, tangentially, Julianna Margulies,” says exec producer David Zabel. (We hear George Clooney also plays a part in Carter’s story, as does guest Susan Sarandon.) “I get to play a lot with Eriq,” reveals Wyle. “Dr. Benton just happens to be on staff at the hospital where I’m having dialysis.” Maura Tierney also makes a cameo visit. Says Zabel, “There will be a lot of great stories and great moments.”
Also, Susan will be back:
Sherry Stringfield is returning to ER, a source close to the deal has confirmed to TVGuide.com.
Stringfield’s participation is the latest in a slew of alums who have signed off to send off the show in its final season, a group that already includes Anthony Edwards, Julianna Margulies and George Clooney.
Stringfield played Dr. Susan Lewis on NBC’s medical drama from 1994-1996 and then returned to the show in 2001 for another four seasons. No word on how Dr. Lewis will reappear this time.
