Dr. Ross has returned!

George Clooney is back in scrubs on the set of ER, and, despite the skeptics who said there was no way the superduperstar would ever revisit his old County haunts, a pic of the actor on set is proof you can see with your very own eyes.

To top it all off, we've got some incoming info on upcoming ER eps. Could Clooney be guesting in one of them?

Sources tell me the episode currently on the ER production schedule is called "What We Do," which will be written and directed by longtime ER show runner David Zabel, and it's a special documentary-style installment of the show. Could Clooney be shooting "archive" footage that would be cut into the documentary?

And then there's "In Times of Old," an episode that ER boss and friend-of-George John Wells is writing and directing, which sets up several storylines that will wrap in the two-hour series finale. There's at least one pediatric ER patient in the ep, and Dr. Ross is, of course, a pediatric specialist. Hmmm...

Do you think Clooney will be back for "What We Do" or "In Times of Old," or are they just shooting around his busy superstar schedule for scenes that will appear in the season finale (currently set to be filmed in late February)?

Post your predictions and your excitement about Clooney coming back in the comments below!
