Alex Kingston Returing To The ER One More Time

TV Guide is reporting that NBC has set an airdate for Alex Kingston’s return to ER as Dr. Mark Greene’s widow, Dr. Elizabeth Corday. Kingston, whose original ER run spanned seven seasons (from 1997 to 2004), will resurface in the January 15 episode, when Neela goes in for an attending interview and is surprised to run into Dr. Corday. Kingston’s is the latest encore confirmed for ER’s final season. Most recently, Anthony Edwards appeared as Mark (in flashbacks revolving around Angela Basset’s Dr. Cate Banfield). Also expected back during the medical drama’s final months are Noah Wyle and Eriq La Salle (though only as a director). ER’s series finale is set for March 12.
