Grey’s Anatomy

Wow, the season opener is shaping up to be full of guest stars. We’ve already heard that Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as the (long dead) beloved Denny. Also joining Denny will be two-time Tony Award winning Broadway star Bernadette Peters, Kathy Baker (from Picket Fences) and Mariette Hartley (last seen as Lucy Spiller’s mom on Dirt). The three ladies will play friends all undergoing care at Seattle Grace.

The season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy will be September 25. It will be a two hour episode.

Well, there’s been a TON of chatter on the internet about the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy season. So let’s discuss.

Rumor has it Katherine Heigl’s Izzie will develop a brain tumor causing her to see (visions of ) Denny again. It’s also been rumored that the tumor will be fatal and is in retaliation for her remarks about not entering the Emmy race this year.

So what do we know for sure? Jeffery Dean Morgan aka audience favorite Denny will indeed be back. ABC boss Steve McPherson indicated at the TCAs that Katherine is staying on Grey’s and that she will have an “explosive storyline” this year. \

Hmm…. What do we think? As much as I love, love, love Denny, aren’t they kind of beating a very dead horse at this point? I suppose if it is done in a decent manner (maybe a dream this time) it will be ok. I guess we’ll see soon enough. Denny will appear in the season premiere on September 25.

Emmy nominations were announced today and Grey’s Anatomy was not nominated for Best Drama. I don’t really think this comes as much of a surprise, considering that many fans thought this season was not its strongest. (Not to mention Katherine Heigl’s flat our admission of just that in her infamous Emmy-gate a few weeks ago). Grey’s lost out for Best Drama to Mad Men, Damages, Boston Legal, Dexter, House and Lost. Let me just pause here and say, Boston Legal?? Are they serious!???? (Mad Men is fantastic, though, so kudos there – I hope they win, even over my other favorite, Lost).

But the good news is that Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama! I really hope Chandra wins. Congratulations also goes to Diahann Carrol. She received a nomination for Best Guest Actress in a Drama for her role as Burke’s mother. And the show also received two Outstanding Makeup nominations.

I hope Chandra wins and if she doesn’t, go Sandra! Maybe next year, Grey’s will get back in the Emmy race on all fronts.
