ER’s Anthony Edwards Returns from the Dead
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, ER, News
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.

Angela Bassett Reports for ER Duty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, NBC, ER, News
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.
