McDreamy’s Mom

by


Here’s an interesting piece of casting news. We’ll finally meet Derek’s mother in the coming year. Tyne Daly has been cast in the role. Tyne is the older sister of actor Tim Daly. Tim stars on the Grey’s Anatomy spin off Private Practice. Tyne also starred in Judging Amy alongside Private Practice Star Amy Brenneman. Shonda Rhimes must like keeping things in the family.

Tyne joins the ranks of hard nosed mamas on the show. Burke’s mother was played by the fabulous Dihann Carroll. Mer Der fans have been complaining about the lack of screen time for their favorite couple, so this is good news for them. I’m anxious to see if Mama Shepard is in town to help plan a wedding…..
