Oh, ma.ma: Izzie’s fussing over Meredith and Derek’s wedding continued, only now, she was joined by her mother (Sharon Lawrence, best known for “NYPD Blue”). Flighty Ma.ma Stevens had trouble coming to grips with the severity of Izzie’s illness, and once she did, she went into a panic. Ultimately, Izzie had Bailey tell Ma.ma Stevens that Izzie’s cancer was practically gone so that her mother could exist in peace. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30503096/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK MAGAZINE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV GUIDE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV SQUAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------- USA TODAY TV is a 'journey' for 'Grey's' creator Shonda Rhimes - Apr 30, 2009 LOS ANGELES — Yes indeed, Denny's coming back. The extended return of Izzie's late fiancé drew cries of protest from many Grey's Anatomy fans last fall, but he's an important part of the story that creator Shonda Rhimes wants to tell. Q&A WITH RHIMES: She answers your questions "We're heading on a journey," Rhimes says. Viewers "are in the middle and don't have a map, so they can feel lost. But I know where we're going. For me, it's about looking at the larger picture." Despite a few hairpin turns, Rhimes has shown good directional sense operating two series, the fifth-season drama Grey's (ABC, tonight, 9 ET/PT) — which boasts some of TV's most passionate and vocal fans — and the second-year spinoff, Private Practice, whose season ends tonight (10 ET/PT). Grey's, which will hit its milestone 100th episode next week, is enjoying late-season applause from many who now see how Denny fits into the larger scheme, even if they thought it took too long to get there. Practice has earned an early renewal. And Rhimes has earned the continued praise of ABC's top programmer. "She has an incredible voice, just an ability to create characters that really sing," Stephen McPherson says. "She's probably working harder for this network and studio than anybody I know." With two series running smoothly, that voice is also powerful. Rhimes may add to its influence with another pilot, Inside the Box, about a Washington network news bureau. It is a candidate for ABC's fall schedule. With Grey's shooting its season finale, the pilot being polished and planning already underway for the fall season, Rhimes took time last week for a rare sit-down interview in her office, just a short walk from the Grey's set. As executive producer of the two series, sharing supervisory duties with non-writing executive producer Betsy Beers, Rhimes says she didn't know what it would take to run two shows last year. http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2009-04-29-shonda-rhimes_N.htm Shonda Rhimes answers your questions - Apr 29, 2009 Q. Hi, Shonda! I love both of your shows! (My 10-year-old daughter knows that Mommy will inexplicably yell at the TV on Thursday nights!) Anyway, I had two questions for you. What was the inspiration for Addison and Naomi's friendship (on Private Practice), and who will Violet choose? (You can e-mail the answer to the second question directly to me: I am willing to sign any and all confidentiality paperwork!) — Nikki Butler, Woodbridge, Va. A. I loved the idea of Addison having an incredibly close friend that she knew from her college/grad school days. Naomi reminds me of my good friend Victoria, who married her college sweetheart and is strong and smart and funny. I wanted Addison to have that person who knew her "way back when." Who will Violet choose? You really think I would TELL you that? I love that you asked, but I have to tell you what I tell everyone — watch the show and find out. Q. As an aspiring writer/obsessive fan, I always pay attention to the credits to see who writes each episode. In particular, I enjoy the scripts that you and head writer Krista Vernoff write, though ALL of your writers are fantastic. So my question is, what serves as your inspiration or influence when you sit down to write a witty yet dramatic script? Also, what advice do you have for an aspiring writer like me OR how does a recently graduated student apply to/get involved with your writing team? A girl can dream …— Nadia Saah, Silver Spring, Md. A. Most of the time, when I begin working on a script for one of the shows, I have an image in my head. A vivid image of something or a scene or bits of dialogue float around in my head after I've been pondering a script for a while. That's when I know that I'm ready to start writing. It's a little bit weird and not at all as magical as it might sound — it's mostly me walking around muttering to myself, waiting for the image to show up so I can get to work. http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2009-04-29-rhimes-questions_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ZAP2IT ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by oncetherewasaway, Jul 14 2009, 05:04 PM.
