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?

Grey’s Anatomy

According to Mike at TV Guide, Meredith will get slapped in the face in the May 3 episode. He says it won’t be one of those soapy catfights, but instead it will be very emotional and will leave the viewer saying, “I can’t believe he did that.” Of course the “he” couldn’t be Derek. I just don’t think it could. My money’s on her dad. There’s a rumor going around that Meredith will cause the death of someone close to her by mistake. I’m thinking she accidentally kills her sister or her sister’s baby in surgery? So daddy goes ape dung on her? Just a thought. Y’all have any theories?

You know the drill, read on or look away…

Question: Please, please, please tell me that Izzie is on the pill.— Katherine
Ausiello: Do I look like her personal pharmacist to you? Do I?! But while we’re on the subject of contraceptives, before the season is over, one character will discover that she has no need for ‘em — and hasn’t for some time. (Any self-respecting member of AA should know exactly who I’m referring to.)

Question: As one of the few supporters of Team Gizzie on Grey’s Anatomy, is there any hope? I’m sick of Callie!— Rachel
Ausiello: Yes, it appears there’s a glimmer of hope. Sigh….

Question: I know you hate the Izzie-George hookup, but you have to admit, that scene between them in the closet was perfection.— Valerie Armstrong
Ausiello: Yeah, that much I’ll give ya.

Ok, I am drawing a complete blank on the first item. I keep thinking Christina because of that miscarriage and the damage it caused. Is that what he means?

So I’m hearing rumors that

SPOILER AHEAD

George and Izzie fall in love and will be in full on relationship mode.

I can hear some of you screaming and some of you cheering. I’ve read a bunch of stuff online about this particular pairing and I find it interesting that it seems to be divided between those that loathe the two of them together and those that love them together. Those that hate it say, ew, they are best friends. And those that love it say, yea! best friends in love, what could be better.

I don’t hate the idea. I’m curious to see how it plays out. I did hate, hate, HATE the awkwardness that was the Meredith and George hook up. But the Izzie thing? Doesn’t bother me - not yet anyway. And I did really love Izzie and Alex together, so I hate to see that door shut (even if it is temporary), but they never had a relationship, did they? They just had sex, right? We haven’t gotten to see Izzie in a relationship with a man that wasn’t in a hospital bed, so I’m curious to see that.

I trust the writers. Check out last week’s writer’s blog. She talks about the George and Izzie thing and how they thought it might work. Since George and Izzie’s best relationship is with each other, why wouldn’t they at least consider it?

So, why was it ok for Chandler and Monica to fall in love on Friends, but it isn’t ok for George and Izzie? I never saw the brother sister vibe between them, so it doesn’t seem all that icky to me. (And yes, I feel for Callie, but he was never as invested in the relationship as she was. She will be a good match for McSteamy when Addy is gone).

I know you guys all have strong opinions, so let me hear them!

Grey’s Anatomy, Friends, George, Izzie, Monica, Chandler, McSteamy

Does anyone else feel like it has been about 9 months since Meredith came back from the dead? I’m stoked for tonight’s new episode.

Big thanks to Allison for filling in for me while I was out - I really appreciate it.

Got some scoop for you - look away spoiler phobes!

From Michael Ausiello at TV Guide:

Question: I was hoping that Izzie and George hooking up would be one of the false plot twists in your Grey’s Anatomy tease last month (Ask Ausiello 2/21). But I just saw the preview for tomorrow’s episode and I’m freaking out. Please tell me it’s some kind of mistake.— Casey
Ausiello: Let me just say this: After tomorrow’s Grey’s airs, you’ll know which one of the six plot twists is real. Here they are again in case you’re too lazy to click on the link above.

• After breaking things off with Cristina, Burke will transfer to another hospital.
• Callie will reveal she’s pregnant.
• Izzie and George will hook up.
• Izzie will be reunited with her daughter, and it’s someone we’ve already seen on the show.
• Addison will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
• Derek and Meredith’s relationship will hit a roadblock when one of her exes shows up on her doorstep with one thing on his mind.

Question: So why did Grey’s Anatomy put the kibosh on the Addison and Alex romance?— Carmen
Ausiello: I hear the brakes were put on Addisex the moment it was decided that Justin Chambers wouldn’t be following Kate Walsh over to Grey’s 2.0. The thinking being: no sense in getting viewers even more invested in Addisex if only one of ‘em is returning to Seattle Grace next season.

Ok, here’s a thought - people, what if Callie was pregnant when she married George? So what is Sloane is the BabyDaddy??? Or maybe we’re all right and George and Izzie will hook up. Can’t wait to see. And I’m really bummed that we won’t get to see Addison and Alex together - boo hiss! They had great chemistry.

From Kristin at E!:

Julie in New York City: Any Grey’s scoop? Please! Are Cristina and Burke actually gonna do it?
Ummm…yes, I’m pretty sure they have already played dirty doctor and naughty nurse, if you catch my drift. But if you’re talking about taking the plunge and becoming man and wife, well, it doesn’t look likely! Sources tell me that Cristina will soon realize that the only reason she said yes was for him. And by the time the intern-on-intern action goes down, I’m told the Cristina and Burke may be on the outs.

Steph in Ithaca, New York: I saw your latest Vine show, and I’m aghast. Gizzie? It is happening?
Did my facial expression not give it away? Don’t make me spell it out for you. Don’t make Shonda Rhimes come and kick my ass.

Guess we’ll find out soon enough!

But what’s coming up, you ask? SPOILERS AHEAD, y’all.

According to Kristin at E!:

Will Loretta Devine be making any more appearances on Grey’s before the season is over? I won’t accept that this is the end of the road for the chief and his Adele. Especially now since Ellis is dead!
I totally just ran into the divine Loretta Devine at the Independent Spirit Awards and asked her if she’d be back on Grey’s after slamming the door in the chief’s face. She said, “I hope so…like the chief wasn’t cheating! They don’t let you know ahead of time what’s going to happen, but I hope she comes back.”

Grey’s Anatomy! Who’s going to hook up?
Addison and McSteamy. And Izzie and…oh, I can’t tell you that! I might be wanting to die today, but on most other days I do like my life.

Kristin also says Callie’s big secret will shock George and that Callie O’Malley has something in common with Paris Hilton, but it isn’t a sex tape. Hmmm….. guesses?

And from Mike at TV Guide:

Question: Will Addison and Alex ever really get together? The suspense is killing me.— Erin
Ausiello: It looks like Addisex has become a casualty of Kate Walsh’s forthcoming spin-off. More on that next week.
Question: Any scoop on what’s coming up on Grey’s?— Robin
Ausiello: Denny’s returning! Again! Sort of! Jeffrey Dean Morgan has signed on to host the latest Grey’s clip show in April.
Question: How many more episodes of Grey’s Anatomy are there left this season?— Mark
Ausiello: Including the one additional episode ABC just ordered (more on that in my vodcast) and the two hours earmarked for the spin-off, we’ve got a total of eight hours left.

Grey’s Anatomy, Callie O’Malley, Addison, McSteamy, Denny, Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Mike at TV Guide never fails to give us some scoop, even though we all know Shonda Rhimes has been known to put out false information. Here’s the latest according to Ausiello:

Question: Is Ellen Pompeo leaving Grey’s Anatomy?— Stacia
Ausiello: Yes. And Hugh Laurie is leaving House. And Jason Lee is leaving My Name Is Earl. And America Ferrera is leaving Ugly Betty. And Michael C. Hall is leaving Dexter. And… see where I’m going with this?
Question: Tell me you can give me something on Grey’s Anatomy to hold me over until tomorrow. Please be my fresh air; don’t you see I am drowning?— Christine
Ausiello: At least one of these things will happen before the end of the season:
• After breaking things off with Cristina, Burke will transfer to another hospital.
• Callie will reveal she’s pregnant.
• Izzie and George will hook up.
• Izzie will be reunited with her daughter, and it’s someone we’ve already seen on the show.
• Addison will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
• Derek and Meredith’s relationship will hit a roadblock when one of her exes shows up on her doorstep with one thing on his mind.

I”m pretty sure Callie will find out she’s pregnant, but the rest of those? Who knows.

Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo

I know we’re all focused on the death(s) this week, but here’s a nice spoiler for a change of pace. According to Kristin at E! two of the INTERNS are going to sleep together. So, we’re talking Christina, Meredith, George, Izzie and Alex. Any guesses??? I’m more interested in the circumstances that would lead up to the sex — like if someone was grieving over someone?? What do you think??

Grey’s Anatomy

Hi guys. Sorry to miss yesterday - I was sick. But let’s get to it, shall we? Possible spoilers or foilers abound. Can’t wait for tonight’s episode! Here’s what Mike at TV Guide has to say:

Question: I’m freaking out over last week’s Grey’s and all the rumors about Meredith dying. There really is no Grey’s Anatomy without our favorite Grey! Please talk me down from the ledge!— Brandi Edwards
Ausiello: If this week’s CSI: Miami taught us anything, it’s that a major character can die and still live. Now get your drama-queen ass off that ledge!
Question: No frakkin’ way! For Papa Smurf’s sake, Meredith is totally going to be saved by McDreamy, right?— Lori
Ausiello: (Spoiler alert) Actually, I’m hearing it’ll be someone else who’s ultimately tasked with saving Mer.
Question: Do you have any more details about Denny’s return to Grey’s?— Rachel
Ausiello: Sure do. First off, forget what I said about his episode airing later this season. Although Jeffrey Dean Morgan only taped his scenes last week, the Big D is actually coming back much, much, much, much, much sooner. And you know that list of far-fetched Denny-comeback scenarios I compiled in the Ausiello Report? Turns out one of them’s not so far-fetched.
Question: You were right: The first part of the Grey’s three-episode arc was fantastic. Do you have any spoilers for the next two episodes?— Ashley
Ausiello: If you put two and two together, you already figured out that that was Elizabeth Reaser playing the pregnant woman with the crushed face that Alex saved. In the coming weeks and months (Reaser’s on board for at least nine eps), Alex’s attachment to her will intensify. And if you thought Reaser’s character had it rough last week, just wait. Another tragedy is about to befall poor Jane Doe.

And here’s what I think will happen - Meredith’s heart will stop but she’ll be rescued. While its stopped, she’ll head towards the obiligatory white light where she’ll meet Denny and Doc the dog for a chat. While there she’ll have to decide if she wants to stay or go back. She’ll come back. Then other character will met an untimely demise next week. I’m still thinking it will be Burke, but who knows. And maybe in a bit of Lostesque drama, he’ll get hit by a bus. I love that both shows have a Dr. Shepard and a Dr. Burke. (and yes I know Jack spells his last name Sheppard. One other possibility is George dying. Rumor swirled that he was unhappy with how ABC handled Isaiahgate, and if he wants off the show, this would be the way to do it. Just my silly theories to occupy you this morning. Hit me back.

Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith, Denny, Lost

I’m about to discuss an upcoming plot point that I think is fairly obvious and well known, but if you’re a spoiler-phobe, look away now.

So, I always make a point to read the writer’s blog for Grey’s Anatomy. I was very surprised to learn that this past episode was written by Shonda Rhimes. Now, y’all know I’m a big Shonda fan, but I think last week’s episode was subpar. In her blog she talks about how difficult it was for her to write the episode and how the director started shooting without a script. Maybe this explains it. And she drops a hint that a major character is going to die. The way its written, we’re supposed to believe its Meredith. But I don’t think I buy it. Do you? Kristin at E! keeps saying that the death will be very shocking and you’ll never believe they would do it.

So who’s kicking it, gang? Burke would be the obvious choice, but he’s not in danger - not yet. (And yes, I like his character but have a hard time watching without thinking what a tool he is in real life). What about McDreamy? Chances are he’s jumping in there after Meredith. That would certainly be shocking.

Do you see the point in killing a character? I really don’t. There’s enough drama without offing someone else. This ain’t Lost, after all.

Check out Shonda’s post.

To believe or not believe??

Rumors are floating that Jeffrey Dean Morgan aka Denny will make a return to the show this season. Obviously, if he does, it would have to be a dream or flashback or something. As much as I loved Denny, I think this might be a mistake. Isn’t it time for Izzie to move on and get a new storyline?? Here’s a thought - if you love a character and can’t let go of him, then don’t kill him! I personally would have been more interested in seeing Denny and Izzie try to make a quickie marriage work over George and Callie. (I’m just saying!)

What do you think? Are you excited he’s coming back or do you think its a stupid trick?

Grey’s Anatomy, Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Ok, ready? These are from Kristin at E! Really stop looking right now, if you don’t want to know…

From Israel: Is anyone on Grey’s actually getting married?
Yes. And much sooner than you think! What did Vince Vaughn say again in that cult movie of his?

From Laura: Holy crazy Grey’s cliffhanger! That was amazing. Dual proposal? Will Cristina say yes? What about Callie?
Let’s just say that, for once, there will be some happy news circling around Burke and Cristina.

From Valerie: Hi, Kristin! Would you be a sweetheart and answer me this? Is the chief going to leave Seattle Grace, and is the actor leaving Grey’s? I know not many people pay attention to him, but I looove the chief and will be heartbroken if he leaves.
Okay, you guys, I talked to James Pickens at the SAG Awards, and I have to tell you, he scared the heck out of me. Maybe it’s because he’s such a good actor, but the words “You’ll have to wait and see…” have never sounded so ominous. Here’s a snippet of our convo
Kristin Veitch: The chief’s wife has run off with another man! Are you gonna be hooking up with Meredith Grey’s mama instead?
James Pickens: You’ll just have to wait and see, won’t you? [Between you and me, if looks could talk, the one on his face was saying, Ellis and Richard are so doing the horizontal mambo very soon.]
K.V.: The show is great, and you’re such a good part of it. You’re not leaving just because the chief is retiring—
J.P.: You’ll have to wait and see.
K.V.: Don’t say that! No, seriously! [At this point, I'm actually begging him to allay my fears—just the teensiest smidge.]
J.P.: You’ll have to wait and see.

(Gasp, rinse and repeat the last two lines four to five times for the gist of our interaction.)

From Ned: What’s up with those wack-ass Grey’s Anatomy teases for upcoming episodes? It looks crazy! Is there a biohazard or something?
Yes, bloody hell! How crazy was that promo? From what I’ve heard, it’s a bloody good episode. You’re going to bloody freak! And yes, there is something bloody poisonous, and it may have to do with a bloody cancer patient on chemo—and it forces the doctors into sort of a sick game of bloody musical chairs. (Could I beat you over the head with the “bloody” hints any more obviously? Ha!)

From Jackie: Are Mer and Der going to break up? We’re hearing rumors of this argument. Is that the “one thing we thought Grey’s Anatomy would never do”?
That is not what I was talking about, no. (Isn’t it sort of expected that they’ll break up at some point in the next umpteen seasons?)

So, it sounds like Burke and Christina are getting married? She lets him win one fight and he proposes. Who would’ve thought they’d actually go through with it?? (And I know, this info may not be correct, but Kristin is very rarely wrong).

From our friend Kristin at E!

From Marsha: On Grey’s Anatomy, are Meredith and Derek getting engaged?
No. But someone is.

From April: Kristin, one word: Addisex…it’s a f*&#ing force of nature.
I know! And you haven’t seen s&*# yet!

From Lola: Are George and Callie definitely back together?
They are going to be together in the Biblical sense—over and over again—as he mourns his father. By the way, was that not the most heartbreaking episode ever? That was the death I was talking about when I said it would break your heart. I was hyperventilating! Originally, George’s father’s death was supposed to be one episode, but it was so good, they pulled it into two.

Ok, you spoiler-phobes, avert those precious eyes. I’ve got some goodies from our boy Mike at TV Guide. Enjoy!

Question: Any Grey’s scoop for us?— Caroline
Ausiello: The show’s currently shooting an episode for February sweeps that promises to make last year’s turbocharged post-Super Bowl outing look like a stroll through Magic Garden. According to several sources, the action centers around a fire on a passenger ferry, and scenes were shot both on location along the Seattle waterfront as well as in Santa Anita, California. “It’s going to be ginormous in terms of scope,” reveals one spy, who says that more than 200 extras were employed for the disaster scenes. My invitation must’ve gotten lost in the mail.

Question: I’ve got a question about your Grey’s /Elizabeth Reaser news: Does this mean someone might leave the show? Because right now Grey’s seems like a cast of thousands.— Caitlin
Ausiello: I’ve been hearing rumors about a major Grey’s exit for months, but as of now they remain just that: rumors. Regarding Reaser, her role is still in the process of being conceived by Shonda Rhimes, and word on the set is that the shrink thing may not stick.

Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes

Hmmm…. I just read that there will be an engagement and a marriage this season - 2 different couples. Any guesses??
