Casting Scoop
Ready for it? Joshua Jackson known to many as Pacey on Dawson’s Creek will be joining Grey’s Anatomy for “several episodes? beginning with episode 11 this season. Word on the street is he’ll be playing a doctor. Hmm….wonder if the might be a love interest for someone? Perhaps Meredith? Because, meanwhile, much to the chagrin of Meredith and Derek fans, Derek will be getting a new potential love interest. Lauren Stamile of The WB’s Off Centre will have a major recurring role playing opposite Patrick Dempsey. No one knows for sure yet that she will be his love interest, but I’m guessing she will be.
So what do you think of all the guest stars, recurring roles and new characters this season? At first I wasn’t too sold on Edward Herman as Norman. I particularly didn’t like him working with Alex. But after last week’s episode and his fun interaction with Meredith, I hope he sticks around for quite a while. And I like Lexie. I like that Lexie and Derek are becoming friends (even if Meredith doesn’t like it). She’s the anti-Meredith – the bright and shiny Meredith - the Meredith that wasn’t rejected by her father and wasn’t raised by the harsh Ellis Grey. Lexie’s presence provides a good balance for the show. I’m very interested to see those two develop some kind of relationship. And it looks like Lexie and George will be friends. And of course Elizabeth Reaser comes back this week. I think most of us are very excited to see how her story plays out with Alex.
Thoughts?

I hate Lexie (she’s boring) and Stamile’s character (Finette). Josh will be a new love interest for Izzie.

I love the fact that Joshua Jackson is coming on - I think he’ll be the anti-Alex. LOVED him on Dawson’s. He was in one of my very first Teen Beat magazines!
