Grey’s Anatomy

The second part of “Crash Into Me” will air on ABC tomorrow night after all! Yea! We heard last week that this second part and the episode following it would be held until 2008, but they decided to go ahead and show it tomorrow night. To recap the rumors out there, Bailey is going to have some kind of tragic crisis, and Bailey will also be doing the narration. Guest star Seth Green’s artery had exploded and it looks as though he might not make it. And Ava/Rebecca will return. Meredith tries to save the life of the paramedic trapped inside the ambulance. And much to Meredith and Derek fans, Nurse Rose will save the day in the OR, leading to…. Well, we’ll just see.

Well gang, it looks as though we won’t get to see that second part of “Crash Into Me” until NEXT YEAR. How disappointing. According to TV Guide, episode 11 of Grey’s Anatomy will air in January 2008. I honestly wish they hadn’t even shown the first part, but I guess they figured it was a good enough of a cliffhanger to keep us interested for the next several weeks.

In strike news, there are rumors that the end of strike is near. The two sides have been negotiating since Monday in a top secret location. There’s been a media blackout, so what little information that is out there has been leaked. Some are saying the strike will wrap up by the end of this week, and some are saying by the end of the year. The sooner the better. Maybe there is hope for this TV season yet!

And in Grey’s spoilery news – when the second part of “Crash Into Me” does air in January, Bailey will do the voice over instead of Meredith. Remember me saying I thought something bad was going to happen with Bailey and her family? Looks like that is true, according to Michael Ausiello. He says something bad will happen to her – “Not physically but emotionally.” My guess? Tucker leaves her or something happens to baby Tuck. I like that Bailey is the only one that has seemed to be able to have a personal life separate from her professional one and it will be disappointing if they can’t just work out the issues. I’m sure whatever goes down will give the awesome Chandra Wilson some great stuff to play, but seriously, can’t someone on the show find some balance and have a life?

I just read some interesting information on tomorrow night’s episode. The title is “Kung Fu Fighting.” Of course November is a sweeps month, which means this month’s episodes of Grey’s Anatomy should raise the bar. Sweeps months are used to help set advertising rates for shows. Remember to set those Tivos and DVRs for seven extra minutes because the show will be longer. So here’s the latest scoop I’ve rounded up across the web for you guys.

Tomorrow night two people will sleep together. These two people have never been “romantically linked before.” Oh and Meredith will catch them in the act.

We know from the preview tagged onto last week’s episode that George and Izzie will be hooking up, but who else could it be? Lexie and Mark? Cristina and Mark? Lexie and Derek? Mark and Dr. Hahn? (By the way, those two becoming an item is also a new rumor). And there is a theory that it might even be Alex and Lexie. Which I completely believed would happen until that scene where Alex told the other interns that George was a “repeater.” She looked disgusted, but hey, if we know anything about Alex, we know he repulses them first and charms them later. What do you think??

We know Joshua Jackson will be joining the show in January starting with Episode 11. Some of you think he’ll be Izzie’s new love interest, but what about Cristina? Or even Lexie? No matter which way it shakes out, I’m looking forward to having him on the show. Even though I didn’t watch Dawson’s Creek. I know, I know, how could I have not watched it? I don’t get it, either. Ha.

Grey’s Anatomy, 451 Press

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?

The season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy is coming up this Thursday! It’s about time! I can’t wait to see how this season plays out, especially since I wasn’t too terribly thrilled with the last part of last season. But, I have faith in Shonda and company, and she has gone on record saying that this season will bring the fun back to Grey’s.

Also, don’t forget, Kate Walsh’s Private Practice debuts tomorrow night! Most everyone I know had serious doubts about that expanded Grey’s episode that served as the pilot. And unfortunately, I’ve heard that the first episode is a little much, but the good news is that the show supposedly gets better in the second episode. And if it doesn’t, Kate can always come back to Grey’s, as reportedly she wrote that into her contract should her show fail. So, tell me, how many of you are going to give Private Practice a chance? Or were you completely turned off by the pilot?

Now on to the good stuff. Here’s a bit of gossip I’ve picked up about the season. Stop reading right now if you don’t want to know!

• Meredith and Derek are broken up in the season premiere, BUT there is hope!

• Izzie’s interns hate her and think she’s a loser. Apparently she brings a deer into the hospital at one point for surgery. (??? Are they trying to make us hate her?)

• Callie gets zero respect as Chief Resident. Folks don’t take too kindly to her getting the job over Bailey.

• Producers are on the hunt for a big name star in her 30s to guest star in November for a recurring role.

• Oh and George says, “I love you, too” and it ain’t to Callie, folks.

Thoughts???

Grey’s Anatomy

Fron TV Guide:

Question: Can you please give us Mer-Der fans some good news? Will they work this out? — Nicole
Ausiello: Well, after Shonda and I completed our little off-the-record Private Practice powwow, she did the unthinkable: She gave me some actual, honest-to-goodness, steaming-hot scoop concerning Grey’s embattled supercouple. “I want to be clear that Derek loves Meredith,” she said as if to put the debate to rest once and for all. “Derek loves Meredith more than anything and I can’t imagine Derek going anyplace else other than Meredith.” And as if to butter me up even more, Shonda handed me the biggest gift a Grey’s fan could ask for: a death certificate with Gizzie’s name on it. “A lot of people aren’t sold on Izzie and George,” she acknowledged. “I think the mistake that everyone makes is that we are telling you Izzie and George are the love story of the century; they’re not the love story of the century. And when other people find out about Izzie and George — remember, people don’t know about them yet — other people might think that’s not a good idea either.”

Question: Any scoop on Grey’s? — Taylore
Ausiello: I caught up with James Pickens Jr. on the red carpet and he teased that there will be some drama surrounding the Chief’s living situation (i.e., you won’t believe who’s moving in next door).

I can’t wait for next week!!

Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes

Woo hoo! The new season is upon us and here’s some new scoop!

Rachel in Taylorsville, North Carolina: I heard a rumor that George will be one of Meredith’s interns on Grey’s Anatomy. Can you confirm that?
Yes. And Lexie (Meredith’s sister) is one of Cristina’s. I’m also hearing that Cristina ends up going on her honeymoon anyway, without Burke—and takes a very special friend with her. (I’ll give you one guess.)

As always, turn your eyes away if you don’t want to know!

From Mike at TV Guide:

Question: Do you have any good Grey’s Anatomy scoop?— Helen
Ausiello: Since Burke’s never coming back, Shonda Rhimes went and got the next best thing: his mama! Yep, Diahann Carroll’s returning in this season’s second episode when she shows up at Seattle Grace to get that choker back from Cristina. Needless to say, her return is shocking — and potentially clarifying — for Yang. It’s also funny as hell. In fact, I hear the entire episode is high-sterical. There’s also apparently some great stuff with Chandra Wilson as Bailey struggles with no longer being the boss lady.
Question: There’s a rumor going around that there’s a big Mer-Der sex scene set in a shower in Grey’s third episode. True?— Danny
Ausiello: False… although the word “bathroom” is uttered at least once in the episode.
Question: Have you heard anything about Edward Herrmann’s character on Grey’s Anatomy?— Siobhan
Ausiello: I hear Grandpa Gilmore’s playing the world’s oldest intern.

Ok, I LOVE that Mama is coming back and I also love that Ed will be an intern! YEA!

Grey’s Anatomy

All you TR Knight fans can breathe easier. Rumors have swirled that TR only signed on for 12 episodes this season. Not true, according to E! I have a feeling he’ll stay put - who wouldn’t with that salary hike?

Grey’s Anatomy, TR Knight

Look away now if you don’t want to know!

Ava (Elizabeth Reaser) will be back on Grey’s Anatomy this season. Hmmm…maybe Alex will have a love interest after all. No word on how many episodes she’ll be in yet.

Grey’s Anatomy, Elizabeth Reaser

Mike at TV Guide has some scoop for us about the upcoming season. Look away now if you don’t wan to know!

Question: I am in desperate need of some Grey’s Anatomy scoop: What will happen to George and Callie’s relationship? Please tell me that Gizzie is officially dead.— Kenni
Ausiello: Well, they’re not officially dead, but it’s not looking good for the embattled lovebirds after they got eviscerated in a recent focus group. A source close to ABC tells me that George and Izzie polled 95 percent negative, leading one of the 200 or so participants to conclude that, “Gizzie will be dropped.” (I hereby take back all the bad stuff I’ve ever said about focus groups. I love focus groups. Focus groups are awesome.)
Question: Got any scoop on Grey’s?— Helen
Ausiello: Two new interns will be introduced in the season premiere (three if you include Lexie). And they’ll have their hands full when a three-car accident sends multiple casualties pouring into Seattle Grace.

Which is spoilerish, so look away now…

The chick that offered Derek a drink in the bar (Chyler Leigh)? Yeah, she’s been offered a 13 episode arc for next season. I’m guessing she won’t be showing up to be a patient, y’all. Doesn’t bode well for Meredith and Derek, does it?

Grey’s Anatomy, Chyler Leigh

Denise in Covington, Virginia: This Gizzie thing is really pissing me off. Tell me George will come clean with Callie this week.
Sorry, but their secret will stay hidden from Callie for at least a few more weeks, though she knows something’s not right.

Elliot in Sacramento: Have you heard anything good about the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff?
And how. Studio insiders tells me the first hour of Private Practice’s pilot (which airs as a Grey’s episode in May) is close to completion and is so “fearlessly good” it’s the most likely of all ABC pilots to receive a pickup. Also, how’s this for a juicy little casting tidbit: According to sources, Taye Diggs was originally supposed to play a recurring role on Ugly Betty, but then got offered a series-regular role on Private Practice and jumped ship. A few weeks on Betty…or the chance to become the new McHot Guy? I think he made the right choice, don’t you?

Glenn in Eugene, Oregon: Is Grey’s going to suffer now that the spinoff is on the way? Will the writers be pulling double duty?
Grey’s writer Mark Wilding tells me the spinoff would probably be staffing “new writers,” rather than cannibalizing the Grey’s staff. And great news for Buffy fans, it looks like former BTVS boss Marti Noxon has been tapped to run the spinoff

And a GREAT spoiler picture!

Grey’s Anatomy

You’ve been warned!!

I just hate that they are going to do that then she’ll leave! I’d love to see those two try to have a relationship.

Grey’s Anatomy

Ok, kids, here it is - the latest batch of intel. Read at your own risk:

Question: Will Alex and Addison “happen” before she leaves?— Marcia
Ausiello: (Major spoiler alert) Remember how I told you that Grey’s decided to put the brakes on Addisex due to Kate Walsh’s impending spin-off-fueled exit from the show? Well, it appears either Shonda Rhimes had a change of heart or I was given some lousy intel, because the two of them are definitely doing the horizontal tango before she leaves for Los Angeles. In fact, I hear it’s their little affair that ultimately leads her to flee Seattle. Also not helping matters: McSteamy’s “failure” to stick to his 60-day vow of chastity. Why’d I put failure in quotes, you ask? ‘Cause there’s a twist (and a surprising one at that)!
Question: Just saw your latest vodcast. Please tell me it is not Derek who slaps Meredith in the face.— Monica
Ausiello: And ruin all the suspense?! Pshaw. I can tell you that Derek and Meredith aren’t exactly on solid footing by the end of the May 3 episode.
Question: I just had two wisdom teeth pulled, so please pity me and give me some Grey’s Anatomy scoop!— Pammy
Ausiello: Addison won’t be the only Seattle Grace doc who is considering a change of scenery in the coming weeks. My Grey’s mole reports that all the drama surrounding Gizzie-gate will prompt George to consider transferring to another hospital.

So what do we think of all of this? Derek slapping Meredith? Ick - wrong, horribly wrong. George leaving? Addisex just for the heck of it even though it won’t last?
