Michael Ausiello reports that former Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel has signed on for her first major TV role in two years. The actress will appear in ER's two-hour farewell installment on April 2.

Bledel will play a new intern named Julia Wise in the episode, which chronicles a 24-hour shift at County General.

As fans should already know, George Clooney and Julianne Margulies reprise their roles of Doug Ross and Carol Hathaway, respectively, on March 12.

An ER show source confirms that George Clooney will reunite with Julianna Margulies in an upcoming  storyline that also features Susan Sarandon.

The latter star will make her ER debut as a grief-stricken grandmother, stunned over the death of her grandson.

Executive producer John Wells has revealed that Clooney will reprise the role of Doug Ross on the March 12 episode.

"If you're a fan of ER, you won't want to miss this one," said Wells.

Meanwhile, Shane West will return to the NBC drama on March 19.

Said an ER insider: Ray's return "disrupts Neela's equilibrium."

Julianna Margulies is coming back to ER as part of the show's final season.

The actress, who made a name for herself playing Carol Hathaway - the nurse that fell in love with George Clooney's Dr. Doug Ross - told Us Weekly that she and Clooney returned to the set recently for "two days and we had an amazing time."

The couple's storyline is "not sensationalistic," Margulies said. "John [Wells, executive producer] stayed true to what my feeling was about the characters."

Margulies revealed that the pair has twin girls, now in fourth grade.

Noah Wyle returned to ER last week.

It was an exciting event for long-time fans of the show, but will it end up being a tragic come back?

At the conclusion of the episode, Carter collapsed and was subsequently hooked up to a machine. We can now confirm that this was a dialysis machine, not a chemotherapy device.

Also, look for Eriq La Salleto reprise his role as Dr. Benton around the time Carter really needs some help.

Does that mean Carter is guaranteed to have a happy ending? Not at all. But his prognosis could be a lot worse, that's for certain.

George Clooney and Julianna Margulies are coming back to ER as part of the show's series finale.

Noah Wyle spoke to Us Weekly about these significant returns.

"There were interesting conversations to try and figure out where everyone was and how they felt about coming back and doing the final few episodes," Wyle said. "I think ultimately everyone is really excited and eager to have a sense of closure to what's been the most defining jobs of all of our lives."

As for his own return, Wyle detailed the events that lead to his reprisal of Dr. John Carter. He'll mostly be shooting scenes with former mentor Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle).

"I'm coming back from having spent five years running a refugee camp in Darfur, and I've got a significant and serious health issue that forces me to seek treatment at the hospital where he is currently employed," he told Us of his character. "So we re-enter into each others lives again."
