Grey’s Anatomy

This is for all the hardcore MerDer fans out there! As we saw in last week’s episode (recap soon), Izzie is planning Meredith and Derek’s wedding. And now Izzie has created a wedding website to keep us posted on the upcoming nupitals of Dark and Twisty and McDreamy. Check the site out here. Enjoy!

Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery announced that they are expecting their first child. Pompeo’s agent said “It is great news, they are ecstatic!” Ellen’s onscreen little sister Lexie, played by Chyler Leigh is also expecting. Leigh is set to give birth in mid-May to her third child, a girl.

So the big question is, will they hide Meredith’s growing bump like they did Lexie’s? Or will there be a McBaby on the way???

This bit of casting news, courtesy of Michael Ausiello, makes my day! As a longtime fan of Gilmore Girls (and former writer of the 451 Press blog about the show), I’m stoked to let fellow Girls fans know that Liza Weil will be guest starring on Grey’s Anatomy in the season finale. Liza famously played Rory’s one time nemesis turned BFF Paris Gellar. Paris was honestly one of my favorite things about the show and memorably gave one the best freaking out speeches ever uttered on television: “I’m not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I’m not going to Harvard…Pack up that chastity belt, Gilmore, you’re going to Harvard!” Weil will guest star as a cancer patient on Grey’s that crosses paths with cancer stricken Izzie.

Also, another one of my favorite all times shows, Everwood is sending one of its alums to Grey’s. The fabulous Debra Mooney will play Owen’s mom. She will also be appearing in the two hour season finale. Grey’s is on a role, y’all! Can’t wait to see the final batch of episodes!

Fans of Grey’s Anatomy super couple Meredith and Derek, aka “Dark and Twisty” and “McDreamy” have been longsuffering over the past five seasons. The back and forth of their relationship has been at the heart of the show. There have been many, many complications over the years – Addison, the Vet, George, near drowning and most recently depression and quitting jobs. But through it all, the fans have still clamored for Meredith and Derek to end up together.

Last weeks’ episode gave MerDer fans a reason to rejoice. Finally, on the third try, Derek proposed to Meredith in the elevator in a romantic grand gesture. It was a much needed happy moment in an overall heavy episode. I was glad to see it. And Shonda Rhimes revealed at the party for the 100th episode that the May 7th milestone episode will take place on Meredith and Derek’s wedding day. But do they go through with it? I certainly hope this one doesn’t end like Cristina and Burke’s…

No, I’m not going to play a nasty trick on you like I did last year. Can you believe I am STILL getting terrified comments about that one? Yikes.

Mainly I want to discuss Izzie. What do we think guys? Is she staying or going? Do you want her to stay or go?

I completely believe that Grey’s has finally turned a corner and is back on track. I know most of us were ambivalent about the first part of the season. And definitely there was a mixed reaction to the dead Denny storyline. But now that Izzie has been diagnosed and is being treated, the show feels like its emotional center is back on track. The Izzie story is impacting everyone – from George to Derek to even the Chief. I’m anxious to see what the conclusion of it is.

Meanwhile, Katherine Heigl may not be so sure she wants to leave the show after all. Many news outlets picked up her statements of uncertainty. But, really, is there any way she could not know what is going to happen to Izzie? There are contracts to be signed and storylines to wrap up. So even though she said, “I was assuming that [my character's days were numbered] at one point and I got a lot of shrugged shoulders and shakes of the head, so I don’t know if that’s a yes or a no. No one will tell me and I don’t know how this is going to go. I don’t know if I live or die. I don’t know how Izzie fares” I’m not buying that she doesn’t know. And I’m starting to think that some of this has been planned to keep the fans guessing.

What do you think? And do you want Izzie to stay or go?
