Noah Wyle: Clooney Will Return to ER
With ER in its final season, and alums like Anthony Edwards and Noah Wyle making special guest appearances, speculation grows that the show's breakout star — George Clooney — will resurrect Dr. Doug Ross one last time.
Despite denials that George will be reprising his role before NBC cuts the cord in May, the Oscar winner's one-time costar Noah is telling a different story.
"From what I heard, George said, 'absolutely,' schedule permitting," Noah told TV Guide.
George's rep told the press that he does not have any new comment; NBC said the same.
But that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Fans of the show will remember that in 1998, George shocked viewers when he made a top-secret return to the show for the last episode of departing cast member Julianna Margulies. Their characters relocated to Seattle, where they presumably lived happily ever after.
Interestingly, Julianna has also remained mum about a possible return.
So who is coming back? Well, veteran ER doc Anthony is returning as Dr. Mark Greene in an episode set to air next week. Noah will be back as Dr. John Carter and he told TV Guide that Eriq La Salle will reprise his role as Dr. Peter Benton. Eriq will also be behind-the-scenes directing an episode of the show. And we'll have to stay tuned for word on George and Julianna.
Are you enjoying the final season of ER? Is it nice that faces from the past are returning? Do you think George will make another surprise appearance? Talk back.

Last Night was the Season Finale and yet it was very good. I really have alot of unanswered questions. Does the 17 year old girl survive? Does Rachel Greene follow in the footsteps of her father? I am also upset that Maura Tierney (Abby) & Goran Visjinc (Luca) didn't make an appearance in the very last episode:'(. I am very sad that ER is over with.

I hope George will come back just one last time. I've grown up watching ER from when I was only a kid until now. The people on the show before such as Wyle, Salle, Anthony, George and Julianna made it great and interesting to watch! It was like the real thing! but now I find the show to be so intriguing as it used to be! Thanks to watching those docs and nurses I now attend college for medicine! thank you!

I have been a loyal fan of ER since the first show. I'm so happy to see the old doc's come back. It was great to see Jerry again too. I'm really sad to see ER go after all these years, the show will be missed greatly.

ER has been a great show...yes it has had its dull seasons but still hung in there. I think it is brilliant bringing back all the old docs who made this show so great in the past. Edwards, Wyle, LaSalle and hopefully Clooney...now that is a fantastic way to end the unforgetable ER era!

The last season is only good when the old actors are on. Abby is sorely missed, she made the show. Killing off Pratt, was stupid. When Dr Greene was on, you saw quality acting that we do not see on a weekly basis now. I didn't want that episode to end. Can't connect to all these new interns, although Angela Basset is ok. The only reason I am watching is because of all the old timers making appearances. Hopefully they will be smart and bring Maura Tierney back for the ending.

Great for the ending to bring back the people who made it famous. I'll be Watching.
