Turns out her character, a celebrated cardiac surgeon brought in to boost Seattle Grace's national ranking beginning Nov. 13, is living with Asperger's syndrome. More here: Ausiello http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/10/mary-mcdonnells.html --------------------------- Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Chuck,' 'Lost,' '90210,' 'Smallville,' 'Fringe,' 'Pushing Daisies,' and More! - Oct 28, 2008 Question: So what's this big Denny-related story on Grey's that could but might not open the door for Katherine Heigl to leave the show? -- Shari Ausiello: I'll say this: The exit primer I alluded to does not concern any kind of health crisis. Rather, it pertains to a very dark day in Izzie's professional career that rears its ugly head again. Question: How long is Melissa George's contract for? Not too long, I hope -- Grey's is already too bloated. -- Karen Ausiello: Reports suggest she's doing at least 11 episodes, but in my recent Q&A with her, she said there's no end date. As for the bloating…well, they work in a hospital. Aren't there pills for that? Question: President Roslin (a.k.a. Mary McDonnell) on Grey's Anatomy?! Give us the scoopage on this smurftastic news for Battlestar Galactica and Grey's fans! -- Brenda Ausiello: She debuts Nov. 13, and her Dr. Virginia Dixon character has something in common with a Bones regular. If you want more than that, you'll have to pick up the new issue of EW, on sale Friday. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/10/ask-ausiello--3.html?iid=top25-20081029-Ask+Ausiello%3A+Spoilers+on+%27Grey%27s+Anatomy%2C%27+%27Chuck%2C%27+%27Lost%2C%27+%2790210%2C%27+%27Smallville%2C%27+%27Fringe%2C%27+%27Pushing+Daisies%2C%27+and+More! --------------------------- 'Grey's Anatomy' Spoiler: Mer's Bisexual BFF Declares, "Something Did Happen" - Oct 27, 2008 Circle Nov. 13 on your calendar. That's the day Alias' Melissa George debuts as Grey's Anatomy's newest intern, Sadie. This is noteworthy for several reasons: First off, it's Melissa George. Duh. Secondly, she's Mer's best friend in the whole world. And lastly, she's part of a new breed of extremely hot, young, professional females on TV who like to have sex with both men and women (i.e. House's Thirteen, Bones' Angela, Callie on Grey's, etc.). The big question, of course, is whether those last two things (Sadie's bisexuality and Mer) ever intersected. Based on my following Q&A with George, I think the answer's pretty obvious. AUSIELLO: Tell me about Sadie MELISSA GEORGE: I'm dying to find out more about her because her behavior is so interesting. She's a girl that walks on the wild side. She's very close with Meredith; they were best friends. They traveled around the world together. And when Meredith went to work at Seattle Grace, Sadie went to work at a morgue. I'm dying to know why she behaves so recklessly. Anyone who behaves like that has to have a lot of issues. For the record, is she bisexual or a lesbian? She just takes anything -- whatever walks in front of her. [Laughs] If it's a male, she'll go for it. If it's a female, she'll go for it. She doesn't think attraction should be [limited] by gender. I sort of look at people and go, "Wow, how do you live like that?" But she seems to get a thrill out of shocking people. The obvious question: Did Mer and Sadie "experiment" back in the day? We don't know. But that's what's so intriguing: What happened between these two? It's brought up a lot [on the show], but we've never revealed what happened. But something happened. I think so. There's a lot of [Mer-Sadie] dialogue like, 'Don't tell them what happened!" So, something did happen, but I'm not sure what.They obviously traveled together and were very close. Did they date? Did they not? Did something major happen to them that they swore they'd never discuss? It could be anything. How long are you committed to the show for? I'm here for a while. I'm sort of playing it by ear. I'd love to stay as long as possible. I'm shooting my fourth one this week, and I don't think it's stopping. Conventional Grey's wisdom has you gravitating toward one of Seattle Grace's other two bisexual docs, Callie or Erica. Do you know which one it'll be? They haven't told me, and I've been asking them every day, "Which one am I going to be making out with?" Or not! It could be one of the guys. I just said yes to Grey's Anatomy, the greatest show on TV. I didn't say, "What do I have to do?" So I'm sort of looking around going, "Which one is going to be my girl or my guy?" Last season at this time, there were no bisexual characters on Grey's. Now there are at least three. Is there something in the water at Seattle Grace? I'm not sure. Maybe they're not getting the right victims coming through the door so they're bored. [Laughs] Bisexuality exists. It's common. I guess they're experimenting with it. So, getting back to the question I posed in the intro: Is it as obvious to you as it is to me that Mer and Sadie dabbled in some, ahem, extracurricular activities back in the day? Or is it just a smokescreen for an even bigger secret they're harboring (i.e. they killed someone and dumped their body in theAtlantic)? Post your theories below! http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/10/greys-anatomy-s.html?xid=rss-ausiellofiles-%27Grey%27s%20Anatomy%27%20Spoiler:%20Mer%27s%20Bisexual%20BFF%20Declares,%20"Something%20Did%20Happen&quot --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ask or Watch with Kristen Grey's Dissection: Major Hottie...or Nottie? - Oct. 30, 2008 He's a babe. And he, um, stabbed a Babe. And a Wilber. And a few other questionably adorable but fully innocent pigs. So what the bejesus are we to think now of Grey's Anatomy's latest addition, Kevin McKidd, after tonight's controversial episode? Is he really sticking around? And what's this about McSteamy's (Eric Dane) hooking up with another doctor? Here's the inside scoop you need to know… http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b66562_greys_dissection_major_hottieor_nottie.html --------------------------- Grey's Anatomy: Is Major Hottie Here to Stay? There's a new badass in town, and his name is Major Owen Hunt, or as we like to call him around here, Major Hottie McHotPants. Kevin McKidd's Army surgeon character returns to Seattle Grace tonight...presumably to spice things up with one Miss Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). So how long is he staying and what fiery ginger spice is in the works for Owen and Cristina? Lucky for you, we hit the set to get the word from Kevin McKidd himself.... According to McKidd, the arrival of Major Owen Hunt is going to be a shock to Seattle Grace's system, since after all those years of doing battlefield medicine, he doesn't play by the polite rules of a cosmopolitan teaching hospital. He told us, "These Army trauma surgeons...Their methods in the field are improvised and not by the book. Hunt deals with stuff on the hoof and uses stuff he has around him to fix stuff." McDreamy, McSteamy...MacGyver? Yes please! THE ROMANCE As you saw in the pilot, Cristina and Hunt have a little somethin'-somethin' brewing. According to McKidd, "There's something, there's a little flame growing there between him and Cristina. I don't think it's going to be a simple journey for those two, but there's something definitely going on. We don't know if it's going to be a smooth road or a rocky one." Hate to break it to you dude, but it's Grey's Anatomy. The road will be rocky! (Mmmm...Did someone just say Rocky Road to a pregnant woman? Cruel.) What kind of challenges will Cristina and Hunt face if they take each other on? McKidd told us: "The thing that's interesting is that she's damaged in that way because of her past experience. He's not the most together guy because he's just been in a war zone for the last three years of his life. So I think maybe there'll be some healing going on between the two of them." THE FUTURE I've been getting fan emails for weeks hoping that Major Hottie would return to stay. ("He's so cute! Can we keep him, puh-leeeeeze! I promise I'll walk him every day and feed him and..." You get the idea.) Will McKidd stay on, long-term? Survey says: "Possibly." (Though my sources tell me they've heard he's most likely becoming a series regular.) According to McKidd, "It's exciting to be thrown into such an established group and strong characters, strong-minded characters. And this guy Owen Hunt is very strong-minded and very dedicated to what he's doing and the job. He's pretty damaged, so he wants to keep a distance from people I think. It's going to be interesting to see what that adds to the chemistry of the show." http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b66076_greys_anatomy_major_hottie_here_stay.html --------------------------- Ask or Watch with Kristen .... Whatever - Oct 20, 2008 Amy in Reno, Nev.: Where is "Major Hottie," aka Kevin McKidd, on Grey's Anatomy? I was hoping he was going to be a regular. Do you know if he's coming back? Please, please, please let him come back! Hey, wow, look at that. My calendar says that the fall sweeps period begins on Thurs., Oct. 30. Weird. I wonder why I just noticed that? All I know is that I hope Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Major Hottie are as on as I hear they are, and that certainly would be a good time to kick off that romance. http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b64589_spoiler_chat_who_will_die_on_gossip.html --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ET ---- E!Online Wait a Minute, Are Meredith and Derek Getting Married? - Oct 22, 2008 USA Today is reporting that Patrick Dempsey is hinting at a hitchin' to Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). He told a reporter Monday night "there may be" wedding bells in the future for Meredith and Derek on Grey's Anatomy. "Rumor has it something might be happening," he said. "I think they have to. It's time for them to get together!" That may very well be the case (depending on which impassioned fan you ask), but is a wedding really going down? Luckily for you, I have reliable inside sources who just gave me the inside scoop... "We haven't shot anything related to any kind of engagement or wedding," a source on set whispers. "And I haven't seen anything in a script." Well, hmph! Thanks so much, Mr. Sexy Hair, for getting our hopes up! Of course, the nuptials could very well happen further down the road, and it certainly seems obvious that Meredith and Derek would end up happily (married) ever after at some point, but my guess is that will be a wee bit closer to the end of the series. So perhaps Patrick is just putting his own plea out there to end the Mer-Der yo-yo games? Could be. In the meantime, though, sources also tell me that as far as they know, there are no current plans to build a dream-house set for Meredith and Derek. So again, that may happen sometime in the future (end of the season?), but not right now. What do you think of a Mer-Der wedding? Too soon, or should they just tie the knot already? http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b65068_wait_minute_are_meredith_derek_getting.html --------------------------- Whitney gala stars hint at fall TV plots - Oct 21, 2008 NEW YORK — As an array of actors, models, designers, artists and socialites dripping in diamonds descended on the Whitney Museum of American Art for a fundraising gala co-chaired by Donatella Versace and special guest Patrick Dempsey on Monday night, talk on the red carpet turned to the new television season When asked if there would be wedding bells for his Dr. Derek Shepherd and Ellen Pompeo's Dr. Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy, Dempsey, who is featured in Versace's advertising campaign, replied, "There may be. I think so. I don't think it will be a typical marriage. Rumor has it something might be happening. I think they have to. It's time for them to get together." ............other stuff http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-10-21-whitneygala_N.htm --------------------------- Preview of 'Grey's Anatomy' 5.06: Life During Wartime - October 24, 2008 Video Dr. Owen Hunt is back, intimidating some doctors but making one flies high, all new in 'Grey's Anatomy'. Kevin McKidd falls back to "Grey's Anatomy" as the mean but "hunky" doctor Owen Hunt. He will be featured on the episode called "Life During Wartime", taking advances in his romantic relationship to Cristina. Owen returns as the head of trauma, challenging both the attending doctor's methods and the residents' surgical abilities. He is graded as monster for not getting along with the doctors but one doctor catches his attention. Meanwhile, to help Bailey become the best general surgeon at Seattle Grace, the Chief gives her new power, new responsibility, and the challenge of removing a young girl's inoperable tumor. Owen was first introduced to the show when he shared a passionate bedside kiss with Cristina in previous season. Speaking of his character's nature McKidd said, "His methods are pretty controversial. It's quite explosive what he does when he comes back." "Life During Wartime" will air on October 30 at 9/8c. http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00019329.html --------------------------- --------------------------- Edited by oncetherewasaway, Nov 3 2008, 01:29 AM.
