Clooney 'ER' Reports Lanced Again |

Contrary to some published reports, there are no plans as of yet
to bring George Clooney back into the "ER" fold before
the season is over.
Clooney, who left the medical drama last spring after his contract
expired, has been the subject of numerous reports that he was
coming back for at least one if not more episodes of the show
this year.
The latest such wave of reports came this week, when word surfaced
that show producers were concocting a wedding episode to reunite
Clooney's Dr. Ross and Julianna Margulies' Nurse Hathaway.
"We have had no conversation with George Clooney regarding
his return to 'ER,'" they said in a joint statement read
by a Warner Bros. spokesperson.
Moreover, a source said there's no talk of a marriage in the show's
story lines this season, many of which are planned out months
in advance.
"Everyone would like to do this, but there's been nothing
consummated," said Clooney spokesman Stan Rosenfield. "There
have been no formal talks about this."
In the past, both Clooney and the "ER" producers have
been clear in their desire to have him come back, though only
if the right story line can be developed and — perhaps more
important — if his movie schedule accommodates his doing
so.
Clooney is currently in the final weeks of production on the big-screen
film "A Perfect Storm."
Recently, Margulies, who is expected to exit the show in May,
said it would be a fitting end to reunite Hathaway and Ross in
the end.
"That's what she wants. That's what the viewers want to see,"
Margulies told us. "It would be a wonderful way to say goodbye
to wonderful people on the show. [Ross] left wanting that, and
ultimately she'll come around to see that, too." |
