What happened to Eriq La Salle (ex-Dr. Benton)?

Good question. I don't know what he has been doing.

I would assume he would be approached too. I actually heard that one of the ways to bring everyone back was a story arc involving a memorial wing for Mark Greene or maybe they will pick up with what Carter was doing before he left in setting up a clinic in his stillborn son's name and that will bring people back. Regardless, I think we will see Benton too.

Anyone else heard the rumor that George Clooney and Julianna Marquiles would make a guest appearance for the 15th season? I find it really hard to believe.

I know both have been approached, which is why the show mentioned them in an episode in January when Gloria Reuben returned for one episode. I think Marguiles will do it no problem. Clooney is a question mark. I heard they want them for multiple episodes. Wyle is already coming back and has agreed to about 5 episodes (it was supposed to be one last year and 4 this year but now it may be one this year and 4 next year or 5 next year). They have even talked about bringing Anthony Edwards back, saying they have a way to do it. There is some talk of it being in the form of a "lost" episode.

I also think Laura Innes will be back as Kerry because she still directs. I heard Shane West may be returning as Ray for a few episodes this year and maybe a few next year too.

The good news is Goran Visjnic will be back as Luka for a few more episodes this year and since it seems Maura is going to agree to return next year as Abby for the last year then I think we can expect Goran back for a few episodes too. Mekhi Phiefer is a question mark. Like Maura, he was going to leave this year too but I think he would return for one more season as Pratt.

I also think Gloria Reuben, whose brief return this year was supposed to be the beginning of the many returns as the series was ending, will be back next year too.

I think we will see quite a few returns, which is why I'm glad they are giving them another year. Alot of this was going to happen this year but the strike hindered it.

Michael Clayton actor George Clooney is reportedly set to make a comeback on the long-running medical drama ER for its final season. The series' producer David Zabel is desperate to get characters old and new together for a one-off special to celebrate the hit show ending - namely Clooney, who would reprise his role as Dr. Douglas Ross. The TV drama, which will reportedly end after its 15th season, catapulted the 46-year-old star to the Hollywood A-list after his run on the show from 1994 to 1999. Zabel says, "We want to revisit characters that have existed on the show over the years and say where they are now. We'd love to get them all back in some way - that doesn't mean we are going to but we are going to try." And bosses at the show's network NBC are also eager to bring back actor Anthony Edwards - despite the fact his character Dr. Mark Greene died of a brain tumor. Zabel adds, "There are ways to do it that we've thought about - even if it were like a lost episode from 1996."

Clooney on ER Rumor: There's "No Reason" to Return

Talk that George Clooney might be lured back for ER's 15th (and final...?) season is being shrugged off by the movie star himself. "Weighing in on the recent rash of rumors," Clooney tells TV's Extra, "The truth of the matter is they wouldn't ask, and there would really be no reason for it." (Fair point, seeing as the Cloon already was top-secretly employed to lure Julianna Margulies' Carol off the show.)

Clooney tells ET that he was so perplexed by the rumblings that just the other day, when he ran into John Wells, "I said to him, 'What the hell happened?' He said, 'I don't know where that came from.'"

Looks like it was just a rumor. :angry:

Too bad, because I probably would have tuned back in to see him.
