George Clooney is the father of twins - for one night only. Then he goes back to being the famous, worry-free, child-free ladies’ man we all know and love.
Clooney has already filmed his ER scenes for the one episode he’s starring in during the final season of the long-running series. The story is that Dr. Ross and Nurse Hathaway have twins together - twin girls. I wonder if that was Clooney’s idea? I doubt it. He probably suggested that the character of Dr. Ross be some sort of freewheeling womanizer with a villa in Italy. Acting! Contact Music has more:
SPOILER ALERT: George Clooney’s E.R. character Dr. Doug Ross will return to the show as the father of twin girls.
The movie star and his TV partner Julianna Margulies will feature in E.R.’s finale, which will air in America on 2 April (09). And the pair will be married with twins.
Margulies, who will return as Nurse Carol Hathaway, tells America’s TV Guide magazine she never thought she’d be back on the show which made her a star.
She explains, “I said from the beginning I would come back if George came back. But I was pretty sure George wasn’t going to come back.
“It felt as though a lifetime had happened since then… (but) nothing had happened since then… Half the crew is still there, God bless them. We were all family. It was like coming home.”
But she and Clooney insisted their return to the medical drama be kept under wraps - because neither wanted to be part of a big publicity campaign.
Margulies adds, “We wanted it quiet because neither George nor I wanted to sit on talk shows getting people to watch the final episode of E.R… It’s the last thing George needs. Of course the day we get there, I could see a long lens outside the Warner Bros. gate, taking pictures of us walking to the set. Nothing’s sacred anymore.”
But she’s glad she made the decision to return: “I worked with George for two days and we had an amazing time.”

Cute, right? Julianna sounds excited - I wonder if she ever regrets leaving the show. I stopped watching ER after Clooney left. My affection for Noah Wyle just couldn’t sustain me. So I really have no idea what is happening on that show, but it seems like, just judging from the commercials I see, that everything has happened to that poor hospital. They’ve had bio-medical hazards, contagions, fires, murderers, it’s probably even been bombed at some point. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they don’t give Dr. Ross the plague or something. Perhaps they’ll give him some rare “Italian” disorder, contracted from a mysterious villa. Cue dramatic music.
Speaking of villas, CB sent me something from Hello! magazine about how Clooney and David Beckham are friends because Clooney is lending his Lake Como villa to David, Posh and the boys. It sounds really nice of him, but there’s always a possibility that Clooney is renting his home out for a price. Clooney has said he only really goes to Lake Como during the summer months, and maybe during Christmas. That’s a long time for a great house to be sitting unoccupied, and it would make sense for Clooney to rent it out to paying customers/friends. Doesn’t mean that Clooney and Beckham are best friends, although I would love to know what Clooney thinks of Posh. She might be just his type!

What? I know he was married to the nurse and had twins it was on ER when he left. Do your homework
I cant beleive ER is still on the air who watches?
it aint cheap to have a villa in Italy and Beckham and Vistoria arent exactly poor to not pay for their redidence. His type is not Posh. he does not date women who are more famous than him or have more money. he is the patron saint for cocktail waitress and d list porn stars -
i never really watched ER… but i guess i’ll start now!
-
Hardly a spoiler! They had twin girls already.
-
Like Sara said that’s not a spoiler Kaiser! But I can see how you would not know that:there wasn’t a single scene with Dr Ross and the babies. He left for Seattle before they were born and when he made his special appearance later on, it was a small scene with Carol only. It’d be fun to see him interact with kids. Oh the good memories of ER when George was still there!!I haven’t watched ER in 8 years or so but I can’t wait for this episode.
-
I quit watching when Gloria Rueben left. She was the best actor ever on that show.
-
And Kaiser, I hope Posh doesn’t get anywhere near my boyfriend George!Can’t stand that woman. It’s fine if they just rent his house but please they can’t be besties.

I really enjoyed it when Nurse Hathaway was having a totally crappy birthday and broke down and went to see him Seattle. The scene when she went to his house and they saw each other was a real tearjerker. After that she decided to move up there with him and the girls. That was a really neat way to let her go.
-
I stopped watching after the original actors left so I barely remember the babies either. Was it twins? I thought it was just one kid, but I’m probably wrong.
I might watch the finale though… who knows
-
I stopped watching when Romano left remember him? the helicopter ?

They had twins on the show; as I recall Carol found out she was pregnant (I think they had been trying, or at least not NOT trying) soon after Clooney left, and it was a big episode when they were born (the first without much fanfare, the second with major complications). In her last episode, she went out to join him in Seattle and he asked where the girls were. The part about them being married is new, though.

I tune in to ER Every week, and am actually quite disappointed that they are ending the series:( Sure nothing lasts forever and its got to come to an end sooner or later… but it is an incredibly good show, I think they should’ve kept it going for at least a few more years!
-
It was an honest mistake, guys
I watched it up until Noah left, I think. Then watched it here and there whenever something major happened. I grew up with ER, it’s part of my life so I’ll definitely tune in for the last episodes. It’s a milestone.
And I loved Gloria too, nera. I think they did a fantastic job with her character.
-
They were on it for like two seasons and I never got the big deal about bringing them back, aside from Clooney being a big ratings score. Hathaway was a po-faced character, and Margulies made a big career mistake leaving so early. I’m much more excited about Carter coming back, as long as they don’t bring back Thandie Newton as his wife, ugh!
-
Not only were the twins born during the series, but there was a throwaway line from Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) after Clooney left–something like “Doug’s seen the girls.”
This might have been a spoiler a decade ago.
-
looking forward for that episode..im a huge fan of Doug and Carol..missed them..i stopped watching ER when julianna left the show..and i think she did a right decision..her character as carol no where to go..

Several articles now have called the fact that Doug Ross (Clooney’s character) is the father of twin girls a “spoiler”. This isn’t a spoiler. The twins were born in the season 6 episode “Great Expectations” and there was never a doubt on the show that Ross was the father. When Carol left Chicago to join Ross in Seattle, Clooney’s one line in the episode was “Where are the girls”?

It does show you stopped watching since he left because otherwise you’d know that that storyline was incorporated into the show.
We saw the pregnancy, the birth and we saw them getting bigger. Then they moved to wherever it was they moved to (Seattle, I think?).
Do your homework, Kaiser
