How ER plans to get George Clooney back
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.”It helps a lot that we’re doing a great episode with Anthony,” Zabel said of convincing holdouts Clooney, Julianna Margulies (Nurse Hathaway) and Eriq La Salle (Dr. Benton) to come back.
One thing Zabel says not to expect is a big finale wedding or gala with all the former ER staffers in attendance. “That might lend itself toward hokiness.”
Yeah, ’cause ER never gets hokey.
