I always had massive respect for Clooney for returning. He was an Oscar winning actor by this stage making $20m a movie, but came back to what made him famous.

When filming this scene, apparently they had to tell Parminder Nagra and Linda Cardellini to stop looking so excited when George Clooney entered the room 🤣

This scene really illustrates how much ER changed over the years. Ross was a key character in the first 6 seasons, and by the 15th nobody that had worked with him was still there. It was always disappointing to see the main characters leave, one after the other, but it is also a testament to the writers, filmmakers and producers that they were able to do such amazing character development and keep the audience interested for so long. They had lost all of their season 1 main cast by season 8, and still managed to put on 7 more good seasons before wrapping it up. This really was a special show!

That Clooney and Juliana would come back to ER after years leaving the show speaks volumes. GC had already made Oceans 11, Three Kings, Dusk Till Dawn, Good Night, Good Luck AND won an Oscar speaks volumes about his commitment ( don’t forget his cameo when JM left the show). And JM was about to star in the Goodwife. Either could have said no but chose to acknowledge their success. Kudos to both 😘😘😘😘

ER will forever be the greatest medical show on TV! They had real emergency docs on the writing staff so some of the cases were based on real life cases. And the docs gave them pointers to make it look as real as possible.

*Regardless if you followed Doug and Carol or not:* These scenes answered our (the audience's) questions on how they are doing in Seattle. We see both are employed in the same hospital. Doug is still a doctor. Carol got a better job. (Before seeing this for the first time, I'm betting you thought she would still be a nurse - and even running a new clinic.) Their personal banter is still the same as it was in Chicago. A happy ending.

*Doug:* What about Romano? What happened to him? *Sam:* A helicopter fell on him. *Doug:* No, seriously, what happened to him?

If Carol had been in the room, she probably would've recognized Abby's name. Abby helped deliver the twins!

Carol Hathaway was awesome. She was one of my favourite characters along with Mark, Doug, Carter, and Jeanie.

This scene shows how life keeps moving forward and we are all transitioning through.Doug Ross used to be a big cheese back on Chicago but after 15yrs no one knew who he was and they all worked at the same place..that is life..in all its bittersweet glory

I love how they brought Doug back. Clooney wasn't mentioned in the promos, no hint of him coming back. But then just *boom* there he is.

@1:05 They're sooooooooo pretty together - and their chemistry is still off the charts.

I would love to see a new 16 season of ER with Doug Ross, Carol Hathaway, Peter Benton and John Carter characters back for a few episodes.

Ironically the kidney patient was John Carter and they never knew they helped to save their old friend's life. If Doug had asked about Carter he might've found out

Man, my passed grandma loved Clooney so much we used to watch er together back when i was little. When he appeared on the screen she would shout "Its him !😂" lmao.

The quality of writing and attention to detail in projects back in the day is first-rate. Sadly, this standard doesn't exist in Hollywood projects any longer for a number of reasons I wouldn't get into. This said, the chemistry btw the original cast (especially Julianna Margulies and George Clooney) is pure perfection. However, when you compare the entire run of NBC's ER to any other major network TV medical drama after it ER still wins all the awards and praise as being the best TV medical drama of all time. Taking the time to watch (or rewatch) ER from beginning to end with new eyes is absolutely worth the time. By today's standard, it's far better than anything else currently on the major networks. Truth.

Funny how the memory works. First person you mention and cant forget is the one who gave you hard time.

Thank you for putting up my suggestion! This one almost felt like a crossover, with Sam and Neela being senior cast menbers despite joining years after Doug left.

I have the DVDs but thank you for uploading all the clips!!! It´s really nice to watch them every time we want :)

I spent weeks like crazy, literally went nuts waiting for this episode!! The longest wait of my life. I was so anxious to watch Doug and Carol after all those years. It was magical and so beautful!!! Of course it would have been perfect for them to know that the kidney was for Carter and to see a photo in the distance of a wedding or of the girls.

It's funny how no one mentions Carter. Even at the end Carol and Doug say the kidney went to some doctor in Chicago. Looking back I get why he's not mentioned,it would throw the focus off,oh well what might have been.

When reunion done in 2000 Clooney was filming Oceans 11 and doing well. By this scene in 2009 he had filmed the trilogy and was a massive international movie star.

LOL when Anspaugh hears Doug Ross says hi his first reaction will be shock that he isn't in prison or kicked out of medicine.

I loved this scene to see how Doug and Carol are doing in Seattle, but it always bothered me that they didn’t return for Mark’s funeral.

So nice to see the couple doing well. Cute

What?! I'm very disappointed they didn't mention Carter

THEY HAD NO IDEA, THAT THEY SAVED CARTER'S LIFE.

I love how Doug and Carol never found out it was Carter they were helping. It was literally just another day at the office for them.

oh ok never mind you put the episode at the end. I had no idea this happened!!

Ross > McDreamy/McSteamy

I wish Carol would’ve asked about Abby. And that they would’ve known the kidney was going Carter… it Sucks only a handful of them got to see how much character growth he had over the years and how far he came.

I always liked that George Clooney remained loyal to the show. You wish he could’ve stayed longer, but his film career was blowing up, so he had to go. He actually fulfilled his contract because he could’ve left the show sooner!

it was such a surprise to see Carol and Doug... nowadays, in the age of social media, keeping huge guest stars like this would be impossible

Grey’s Anatomy can go to hell. This is the best medical drama.

ER just wasn't the same after the original cast started to leave. Every time I rewatch the series I struggle to make it past Season 5. I know a lot of them lasted longer, but the new cast members just aren't nearly as interesting. I usually make it to the episode where Carter and Lucy get stabbed and then throw in the towel.

It's so weird to see people in a waiting room not staring at their phones, trying to occupy their time by reading whatever magazine or newspapers in the waiting room

I really forgot that some of these characters were on this show! Neela and Ray and a few others.... for some reason I recognized them immediately but forgot that it was because of this show! I loved ER!

One of the best scenes ever 😢

The producers did a great job finding a very organic way to bring back as many of the OG cast members as they could for the final season. We got em all: Carter, Benton, Greene (ala flashback), Ross, Hathaway, Lewis, Corday, Weaver, Morgenstern..

Excelente serie. No me perdi ningún capítulo.

I’m surprised he doesn’t ask (and Sam doesn’t mention) about any of the nurses. Chuny and Haleh were still there.

I always felt like Doug not mentioning Carter was probably because he'd be shocked if Carter was still there. Seems like Doug knew the events leading up to just before Xmas of season 8 because he asks about Benton and knew that Lewis was back. If you recall very early in season 8 Carter nearly quits because there's not a attending spot available. Doug and or Carol might've heard the gossip and just not followed up.

I LOVE how the first guy says he's from OSHU Portland...It's OHSU !!!

I can fully understand why George Clooney did not come back for Mark Greene's funeral because he didn't want his presence to be a distraction. This episode could have given him the chance to offer an explanation for his absence. While asking about everyone else Doug could have asked if they knew Mark Greene. When Sam & Neela said no he could have looked at the floor the way he does when he's uncomfortable and said that Mark was his best friend who died and he always regretted not being able to attend his funeral because...?????....whatever. It only would have taken a second but I think it might have offered closure for many of us fans.

Amazing moment. Could you find the moment Jeanie boulet comes in the er years after with her adoptive son

I work in medicine and this really happens - "Oh, I used to work there, is George still working there?" then rattle off the whole list

Oh, I SO wish we'd gotten more with them. See how they're doing, see the twins. I just want more! I mean, there's only so much us FanFic writers can make up!

It was so much fun to see Doug, Carol, Peter, and the rest return in various ways in the last season. ER was a wonderful show and you really grew to either like, or hate the characters. I'm looking at you Weaver and Romano. I despised Benton at the start but the development of his character really changed my opinion of him.

Doug only cared about the original "A" Team (Weaver. Benton, Lewis, and Anspaugh).

Clooney: "IS MALIK STILL THERE?"

I can't believe that they didn't bring Dr. Ross back for Dr. Green's funeral! But still... I love all episodes!

Frankly, I'm surprised Dick Wolf hasn't dragged County General Kicking and Screaming into his little corner of his Chicago world.

Happy birthday doug from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

I am surprised that Neela and Sam didn’t mention Corday or Carter or any of the nurses ( Malik, haleh, chuney) or that desk clerk from season 1

Abby helped deliver your daughters Doug.

Juliana and George Clooney enters. Looks at them. "Who are these people? Ok, rookies. This is how you do it."

They got Doug and Carol back for an episode? Sweet!

The only way that Doug could know that Susan returned to County General is if him and Mark kept in touch off screen and Mark told him. That's why he asked if she's still there. Susan left the first time before he left.

You should upload the video when carter was an RA and he left Lucy to watch the med school party and it went wrong

The most Beautiful couple ever

I stopped watching ER after Mark Green died I recently fimished the episodes on Hulu. I dont think the new characters and story lines were as good as previous seasons but this episode really touched me. First seeing Carter then Carol, Doug and Benton was abdolutely wonderful!!! I never cared for Benton but i really liked him in this episode. Great episode. I just wish everything had worked out for carter in his personal life

It was nice for neela and Sam to have a scene with Doug.

should've mentioned some the the ER nurses that were there the entire series.

I wonder of Doug and Carol knew about Mark 🥺🥺🥺

Okay, I watched this show series religiously from the beginning to about halfway through, and I was familiar with the second set of characters... Or the third set, or however that works out. But, I find it hard to believe that Neela and Sam have never even heard of Doug Ross and Carol Hathaway. Surely Sam, with her sharpness, would've done a double-blinking double-take, looking off to the left in mild agitation for a long moment and then right before the pair left the room, had a 'wait a minute' moment... "There was a 'Doug Ross' and a 'Carol Hathaway' where we came from, in Chicago"... What a coincidence! And then Carol could ask, "what part of Chicago?" And then to find out that it is them. And then they could "jump-cut" the scene to them seated in the room, discussing everyone... especially CARTER!! Ahem. Now, I know that Doug Ross didn't really know those people. But, he could have heard of these people in letters and long distance phone calls back-and-forth (this was pre-internet and pre-cell phone days, if memory serves!) And Doug could have described what he had heard of these people as we originally knew them before they changed... Sherry Stringfield thin and with long hair, square jaw... No, she's more matronly, with shorter hair, square jaw... Oh... And we could THEN have enjoyed the dichotomy of the various changes to our favorite characters ... both OLD and MORE RECENT... that we ourselves may have missed... However, we have to have more out of this thing than just Doug Ross asking them to say hello to Anspaugh for him, as if ANYONE would care if THAT ever happened... in reality... The scene tortures the viewer with a sort of a 'preeclampsia' episode agitation... I mean, this whole damn scene is just pregnant with infinite possibility. And we basically get dick-snot out of it. Nothing. _____ It's like that scene where Carter catches Benton on the jogging trail and tries one last time to get some damn validation from that cold asshole... You would think that Benton could have given Carter the royal nod, or something... But, no. "No, you're not." It's enough to piss you off. I liked Benton, and I would definitely want him as a doctor. But I would not want to work with him.

I remember watching this the first time through and it annoyed me so much that they didn't know each other 😂 it was so frustrastinggggg

So nice..

Speaks volumes that Clooney returned for a cameo even after achieving stardom and becoming one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood, he didn't forget his roots in primetime. EDIT: Clooney was also asked to come back for Greene's funeral but he didn't want to impose being that a beloved character had died.

Can't believe Doug didn't say Carter

I was starting to find it weird how Doug asked about Susan considering how she had originally left the show before Doug and Carol and came back in season 8. But then I figured that he probably kept in touch with Mark and Mark might’ve told him Susan had come back.

Can you please upload the episode ‘exodus’? :)

Happy birthday at sam from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Was that the guy from “Band Camp” dozing off at the end of the scene 😂. So many famous actors were in ER.

Happy birthday julianna as carol from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Happy birthday linda alias sam from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Where did you get the music at the end? Do you have the music they used for ER that can be shared?

Strange that neither of them mentioned Carter

I keep expecting Doug to say "How can I help?"

Can we get the full episode of exodus

0:40 Parminder had a hard time hiding the star power recognition of Clooney when she looks at him. 2:05

Happy birthday at parminder nagra from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

I have always been mad that nobody said Carter’s name when they were asking who was still working in the ER

1:01 you what would be Crazy? a 4th Wall Break! They Watch TV on the 1st Episode of ER but don't say anything on what the Show is called!

I loved seeing Doug and Carol. ER was a great show up until Greene died. He held the show together. I found it chaotic afterwards. Abby and Luca kept it going a bit but it just wasn't the same. The original characters were definitely the best.

My theory on why Doug didn't mention Carter was because possibly they still had some sort of contact, maybe Doug thought Carter was still in Africa, Kinda similar to Benton in the same episode who thought Carter was still in Africa even though they had limited contact. About him saying no about Abby was true, maybe he knew who she was due to her helping delivering his twins but Doug wasn't there when Abby was there which is why he said no.

Happy birthday at linda cardellini from italiam boy live in rome and i m fan of er

Wow I’ve had facial plastic surgery at OHSU because I live in Portland Oregon and I was born at St Luke’s Hospital in Boise Idaho

It really isn't surprising that Clooney came back. He referred to ER in interviews as the 'brass ring', that if it weren't for a 10pm time slot for ER on Thursday nights on NBC that none of his future career would have happened. This was his way of saying thank you.

I'll never forgive the producers for doing the episode with Doug and Carol coming back like this and not them meeting the old gang again. I missed all expectations, it definitely wasn't how I expected the end of the serie, since all the important characters were there.

Today doug 62 years

Suprised he didn't ask about Mark Green 🙄

Carol when she moved to Seattle I assume at first she was just taking care of the girls. Then when they got pre school aged probably went to work as a nurse at that hospital. Then a few years later saw an opening for the transplant coordinator and interviewed for the job.

I would love to know how the COVID-19 pandemics was managed on the Chicago County ER

I’ve got those colour scrubs 💪

I will never wrap my head around all this HD lighting and detail. TV looked way better back in the nineties, more cinematic, less realistic.

None of them mentioned Carter? I mean, the kindney was for him and they were all his friends.

Que no haya vuelto para la muerte de Mark Dolió 💔

What series was this in? I dont remember it at all i haven't complete the series yet though i stopped watching series 10 and now i want to catch up

¿ DONDE SE PUEDE VER COMPLETO EN ESPAÑOL ?

Me encanta esta serie. Y. Con George clone
