ER’s Anthony Edwards Returns from the Dead

Although it doesn’t look Doug Ross (George Clooney) and Nurse Hathaway will be leaving Seattle anytime soon, long-time watchers of ER will still get a nice surprise this year.
Anthony Edwards, who played Dr. Mark Greene for eight seasons, will be returning to the halls of County General for a brief visit this fall. This cameo will, of course, be a special one considering Greene died of a brain tumor in 2002. It will also be meaningful given the upcoming finale of the entire show.
Edwards’ appearance in a series of flashbacks will help provide “insight into Dr. Banfield’s past.” Dr. Cate Banfield is the new character being played by Oscar-nominee Angela Bassett. The Nov. 13 episode, titled “Heal Thyself.” will also feature other actors from the series’ past.
ER kicks off Thursday, September 25th.

There are many questions we all need to get answered. When will your favorite shows start? What days are they now on? Which DVR programming ‘conflicts’ will you have to resolve? Will you need to buy another television???
Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come. We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.
(NOTE: This schedule has been updated as of August 31. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)

Shane West Checks Back Into ER

No legs? No problem! According to Entertainment Weekly, Shane West will be returning to ER for the show’s final season. And he’ll, thankfully, be doing a lot better than when he left County General.
When we last saw Ray Barnett in May 2007, he was heading back home to get away from Neela and to deal with his recently amputated legs. (Actor West was also hoping to score a new show on FOX.) Now, with a new set of prosthetics, Ray is ready to visit Chicago as a fully-rehabbed man.
The good news? Ray’s presence will definitely have some sort of effect on his ex-roommate’s life. The bad news? West is only scheduled to appear in two episodes. The first being on October 30, the second happening sometime before the series finale.
Let’s just hope someone ends up with a functional relationship by the time this whole thing wraps up.

Tonight’s finales: The Hills, Medium, Samantha Who?, The Bachelor
- American Gladiators (NBC, 8pm): Season Two premiere includes new gladiators (’Rocket’ and ‘Jet’). Seriously, how intimidating could a smiling Gladiator be?
- Bones (FOX, 8pm): “When the body of an aspiring singer (Ace Young of American Idol) is discovered, Booth and Brennan probe a club’s open-mike night.” Uhh—which one was Ace again?
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “An embarrassed Serena resurrects some troubling old habits as she continues to hide the truth from Dan.” If he only knew she’d been sharing her jeans with three other girls.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Britney Spears returns as Abby, who is now dating Barney.” First Robin Sparkles, now Britney. I’m not sure if that’s a step up or down for Barney.

Over the past 14 seasons, the halls of ER have seen a multitude of guest stars. John Leguizamo, Stanley Tucci, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker and Hal Holbrook represent just a small sampling of those who have either been on a gurney or had a stethoscope around their neck.
For the show’s 15th - and final - year, NBC will be bringing on another Academy Award nominee to help triage the endless patients. Waiting to Exhale‘s Angela Bassett will help the veteran series finally come to a close. While this won’t be her first stint on television (she did have several appearances on my beloved Alias), this will be her first full-time gig on the small screen.
When ER returns next fall, we can also expect a visit from one of the drama’s former staples: Noah Wyle. The actor, who hasn’t done much aside from USA’s The Librarian movies, is scheduled to stop by for at least four episodes.
