Award-winning guest stars are often rushed into the emergency room at County General Hospital at crucial points in the season. Oscar winner Sissy Spacek and recent Emmy-winner Cynthia Nixon are the latest big-name stars enlisted to draw rotations on NBC’s “ER,” making appearances during the crucial February sweeps period.
Spacek will appear first, on Feb. 10, as a woman from Dr. Weaver’s (Laura Innes) past. One week after Spacek’s visit, Nixon will show up as a soccer mom brought to the emergency room after suffering a stroke. Although the character will be incapable of communicating with the doctors, the show will take viewers inside her mind to hear her thoughts.
