Who's Gay Now? Is 'Daisies' Done? Thiessen to '90210?' - Nov 7, 2008 rey's Anatomy is killing off Dr. Hahn! I'm 89 percent certain that's fiction. A promo for next week's episode showing Callie in tears has led some to conclude that her ex-lover, who made her final appearance in last night's episode, will be done in. Highly unlikely. Not sure exactly why Callie was crying though. Maybe she's upset that she had to find out she was a lesbian by reading it in a press release? http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/ --------------------------- Exclusive: 'Grey's Anatomy' Discharges Dr. Hahn - Nov 3, 2008, UPDATE: Shonda Rhimes has just released the following statement in response to this story: "Brooke Smith was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian. Clearly it's not an issue as we have a lesbian character on the show – Calliope Torres. Sara Ramirez is an incredible comedic and dramatic actress and we wanted to be able to play up her magic. Unfortunately, we did not find that the magic and chemistry with Brooke's character would sustain in the long run. The impact of the Callie/Erica relationship will be felt and played out in a story for Callie. I believe it belittles the relationship to simply replace Erica with 'another lesbian.' If you'll remember, Cristina mourned the loss of Burke for a full season." http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/11/brooke-smith-le.html?xid=rss-feed-todayslatest-%27Grey%27s%27+shocker%3A+Dr.+Hahn%27s+gone --------------------------- The Ausiello Files - October 24, 2008 Time to dust off those brain tumor rumors: Katherine Heigl is seeing dead people again on Grey's Anatomy. For the second time this season, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's deceased Denny will descend from heaven to have a heart-to-heart with his Earth-bound soul mate, Izzie, sources confirm to me exclusively. ABC declined to comment, but my Grey's mole says Morgan will appear in the Nov. 6 episode. What brings Denny back this time? I could tell you, but then Shonda Rhimes would kill me and, well, you'd all be up scoop's creek. Instead, I'll leave you with this tantalizing clue: Something happens in the episode that could easily set the stage for a Heigl departure at season's end. I'm not saying it will; only that it could. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/10/jeffrey-dean-mo.html --------------------------- The Ausiello Files - Oct 21, 2008 Question: Any good Grey's Anatomy scoop? -- Emily Ausiello: Yup, and you're gonna want a hanky when it comes to pass, I have a hunch. The show is casting an 8-10-year-old male patient who wants to live but is realistic about his prospects of doing so. (In other words, he's only gonna last three episodes.) Question: I will give you ten scoops of Smurf ice cream if you can tell me when Cristina's amazingly awesome army doctor is coming back to Grey's Anatomy! -- Brittany Ausiello: Kevin McKidd returns briefly this Thursday, and then in full force next week. Speaking of air dates, please note that Melissa George's bisexual intern debuts on Nov. 13, not Nov. 6 as I stated last week. In my defense, bisexuality confuses me. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/10/ask-ausiello--2.html --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ask or Watch with Kristen --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ET ---- E!Online Latest from Kristin - Nov 04, 2008 Linda in West Virginia: I love me some Major Hottie! Will he and Cristina hook up on Grey's? G.A. is now casting "star names only" for a "former military nurse who is maternal." Might that be...the Major's mom? If so, here's to hoping things go better for Cristina with her than with Burke's badass mamacita Diahann Carroll. 'Cause I'm hearing Cristina most definitely has a "Major" romance coming on! http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b66765_spoiler_chat_pregnancy_rocks_90210_tree.html --------------------------- --------------------------- Ask Matt: Defending Fringe's Joshua Jackson, Continuing the Heroes Debate and More! - Nov 3, 2008 Question: I am confused why some critics have stated that Joshua Jacksonwas miscast in the role of Peter on Fringe. I couldn't disagree more. Joshua is a good actor and Peter has good chemistry with Olivia. If anything they need to give him more to do than just be a babysitter all the time. They are wasting his fine talents, which is hardly his fault. (However, I must say he would have been miscast in the army doctor role over on Grey's Anatomy! He was too young for that role.) And regarding Desperate Housewives, you recently stated that you find Gale Harold's performance "surprisingly charming." What drives me crazy about his addition to the show is that he is totally wasted. Again, another great actor given very little to do except take off his shirt and beg for attention. It's also more than a bit odd watching the former "Brian Kinney" being the whipping boy for Teri Hatcher. As if... And just for the record, I agree with you about Heroes this year. All this time traveling is confusing, especially with regards to Peter. I can't figure out which one he is supposed to be half the time, and I've been a fan since the first episode. However, I like watching Sylar play the good guy — it's amusing. And I must admit to liking My Own Worst Enemy. Perhaps it is because I thought the show would be just plain terrible and surprisingly it isn't. My husband and I enjoy it for what it is. (Plus it is great to get to see Christian Slater on TV every Monday night!) — CB Matt Roush: I'm not sure who you're reading, but I've got no beef with Joshua Jackson on Fringe. His snarky take on the crisis of the week and John Noble as his cracked dad are the high points of just about every episode. It's Anna Torv's Olivia who, after my strong first impression, I've had trouble warming up to. I'm still trusting the show will work out its kinks and figure out the appropriate mix where all of its primary characters are concerned. (And I have to think that where Grey's Anatomy is concerned, his role would have been conceived way differently from where they've taken it with the terrific Kevin McKidd.) As for Gale Harold: I like the change of pace in making him so sympathetic and vulnerable. He's a supporting player in this ensemble and that's as it should be. We'll be tackling Heroes at length as this week's column continues, but I will say I've had people write in to say I should lighten up where My Own Worst Enemy is concerned. After pre-screening last week's episode, I think I have a better solution. How about I start ignoring it like most of the rest of the world?............................... Question: I had to agree a bit with Sarah's recent comments, in that I've found myself blah over many of my returning favorites, and I have to wonder if terrific summer shows like The Closer, Eureka, Saving Grace and Mad Men have really upped my expectations. My fall bright spots are quirky shows like Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Chuck. One exception, though: I'm pleasantly surprised by how much Grey's Anatomy seems to have regained its stride this year. It's one of the few traditional dramas that I'm eager to see each week. I was wondering if you'd managed to keep up with the season so far, and if you felt it had regained some of its past luster? — TaMara Matt Roush: I actually felt Grey's was getting back on track in the episodes after the strike hiatus last season, so haven't had to be won over that much this year. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, Bailey in particular — some things never change — although I grew weary very quickly of Callie's sex obsession/phobia in her new relationship with Erica (the resolution of which, courtesy of McSteamy, was maybe the filthiest bit of sex comedy I've seen this side of Californication this season). Glad that's behind us. And I am very encouraged by the addition of Kevin McKidd, both for romantic (go, Cristina!) and dramatic reasons. So all in all: I'm still a fan. http://www.tvguide.com/Roush/Roush-Fringe-Heroes-35141.aspx --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by oncetherewasaway, Nov 10 2008, 02:05 AM.
