I've always liked Addison as a character, and am confident that she can hold her own as the main character of a popular show. I'm still skeptical as to the kind of audience her show will receive. The cast is good (Taye Diggs and Tim Daly are solid veterans), but I fear that the show will always be compared against Grey's Anatomy, and likely in an unfavorable manner.

McEditor Posts: 1,625 Group: .Grey Girls. Member #23 Joined: October 25, 2006	[size=7]PODCAST[/size] 05.11.07 - Executive Producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers grade "Testing 1-2-3" and preview the season finale, "Didn't We Almost Have It All" (5/17/07). Izzie makes a vow for Cristina, Burke picks Derek as his best-man, and Meredith blanks out. Well, the interns finally took their big test last night, and while we wait for the results, executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers join us once again to talk about everything from Cristina’s impending wedding to Adele’s sudden collapse. Of course, this is all in preparation for next week’s big season 3 finale, entitled ‘Didn’t we almost have it all?’ Hi, this is Shonda Rhimes, and Betsy Beers, and this is Grey’s Anatomy. So we are kind of winding down, or winding up, depending on how you….we are gearing up to wind down. Which is pretty exciting, and it’s been a long road – for us, but more importantly for the characters. It’s been a long road for these characters. It certainly has. Everybody has been through a fair amount, and I think, as of last night, actually been through a little more. Yes. Frankly it has been a bloodbath this season. Lots of people have died. A lot of people have died, and a lot of people have been tested in incredibly profound ways. Yes. So, let’s talk about this episode. This is sort of the first half of the season finale. Sort of? This is the first half of the season finale – I wouldn’t say we are doing a part one, part two thing, really, because that involves more cliffhangers, but I don’t know how you get more cliffhangers out of that episode. Well, I was going to say actually, in truth, there are two massive, hanging cliffy things….maybe you could call it a hanging cliff adjacent, or something, but…….because this episode ends with a couple of really amazing things. One of my personal favorites, which is Adele on the bathroom floor, and Richard screaming at the top of his lungs. And not my favorite because of anything wrong, but my favorite because it is such an incredibly dramatic, emotional moment, and after all this time of these two people not being together, for their reunion to be based on her being pregnant with another man’s child is relatively intense. And I have to compliment Addison for some fancy footwork in the hall. Yes, where she did everything but…..where she was all ‘you don’t to see that, all exposed….’ That’s what we like to call the gynecological excuse. But also, how were those hikers? Yeah, we were actually really excited about the hikers. I think that is one of the best, most horrifying ideas, but the most human ideas I’ve heard in a really long time. Yeah, the idea that….well, we can’t tell you what happens, but the guys go hiking and the fourth one comes in with an ice-pick in his brain is pretty cool. It is pretty cool, and also the frostbite. Yeah, all the frostbite, which was really gross to look at, but very cool. It really, absolutely was. It was his fingers when they first revealed the hands, and you realize those are not gloves. Absolutely. The other cool thing is Burke choosing Derek to be his best-man. Which, I think, although Richard was a little disappointed, I wasn’t. I really love that moment where he sort of puffs up a little bit in anticipation. But I think there is something really lovely about Burke and Derek having come from this very, for me, full circle place of really not liking each other in season one, to season two in that moment where Burke won’t allow Derek to call him by his first name, and then they go through the whole bomb episode together, and have really ended up very good friends. I think going through the difficulty of the tremor, and the surgery, Burke’s feeling like he had been betrayed, and Derek feeling as though, in a very profound sense, he wasn’t being appreciated for what he contributed, and they worked through that, the camping, they wanted to be friends…..They have been on a real journey together, and so I thought that it was only fitting. Because the guy who was supposed to be the best-man, if you really remember your Grey’s Anatomy trivia, is the guy from season one who had the ovary inside him, that was Bill, but Bill ended up not being able to come, for story reasons. It was great that Derek was it, and it was great that we could head towards this wedding in the way that we did, you know, with all this great, medical….axe to the head, hikers, frostbite trauma going on. But also that idea of all the interdependency which is starting to build up, which we have been feeling, you know, how dependent everyone is on each other and that these hikers came in…well, we weren’t expecting the guy at the end, I’ll just say that. But I think the greatest part of this was part of the point of the episode, was the friendship, and comradery between Derek and Burke, the wonderful way the interns sort of figure out how to rally around Meredith when she freaks out about the test, and that, frankly, for Meredith has been coming for a long time. I think she brushed the fact that her Mother died a little bit under the carpet, she was very affected by Susan’s death, because it reminded her a lot of her Mother’s death, and then to have her Father, who she had finally started to have relationship with slap her in the face and then show up roaring drink in the middle of the hospital and tell her that he didn’t want to see her at the funeral, and obviously blame her for his wife’s death was…..I mean, I always say about Meredith, that she can’t catch a break. Yeah, because technically, she hasn’t. She drowned…..there was some drowning, there was some death experience….You know, I think it is very amazing that the girl is still standing. You know, I felt that way about her as a character when we first met her in the very first episode of the pilot, and we saw that she had this Mother with Alzheimer’s, and now I think it is even more important to sort of point out that ‘dude, this girl has a reason to be a little bit miserable.’ She’s going to be someone incredibly miserable, and I think it goes to what you were saying about the way that she deals with things is she pushes them down, she doesn’t deal with it, and I would even go so far as to say there are tons of things before we even met her that she has been pushing down, that are part of the things that contribute to where she is now. Oh yeah! And the place she is with Derek, which is, she is this person who sort of pushes people away when she wants them away, and comes back when she wants them to come back, because she doesn’t have the ability to do anything else. And to have them see her like that, you know, there is something so vulnerable about that, and since she has never been allowed to be vulnerable her entire life, her entire bases of sanity has been to hide that, or walk away from it, or say that she doesn’t need it. Yeah, I mean, the experience of being a surgical resident, and all this high pressure, and all of its trials and tribulations has definitely pushed all that for her. Exactly. I also think, in real life, all this stuff does tend to happen in lumps, very often. You feel like you have cut a break, or the more you bring stuff up, the more stuff actually happens at the same time, so she has really gone through a lot, but also is now, for the first time ever, really processing things. And I love the moment when she is sitting there in the waiting room, frozen, totally freaked out that she didn’t write anything on the test, and Cristina says, ‘Look, I don’t know how to handle this, Meredith and I don’t do this, we don’t fail things.’ And they don’t. They are not the girls who fail things. So for Meredith to be in this position where suddenly she couldn’t even write her name on a test, threatens everything that she is. And then the Chief goes to her and says ‘I’m giving you another chance,’ her first reaction, which I totally understand, is anger. Because a) stop trying to take care of me, and cool.gif don’t acknowledge I failed, because then I failed, and I have to do it again. If I acknowledge I failed then I failed, then I’m weak. Exactly, so I love that scene too, because he knows she can’t accept it, so he just leaves it. And there is something really wonderful about that moment where she….it starts of with her saying to him…you know, he comes to her, trying to be helpful, and she says ‘Just because you slept with my Mother, that doesn’t make you my Father.’ Which is so mean, really, because, I mean, I always felt in that episode with Richard and Ellis, where Richard sort of builds for Ellis this idea of what their life would have been like, he would have been Meredith’s defacto Father, and the only Father she had ever known, so he feels this responsibility for her. And then in the end to have him come to her with a test and say do it again, and she looks at him and she says ‘You are not my Father,’ is so heartbreaking, because you can tell that she kind of wishes that he was. I always think that if Richard were her Father, Meredith would be have been a much more whole person. Because she would have grown up with a Father, and a Father with a strong sense of self. Because the amazing thing in that moment is he’s such a relief, because he’s not needy, he just keeps giving…he does what a Father would do, which is, the kid has the tantrum, and the Father looks and says, you know what, I’m still going to take care of you, and I love you no matter what. Which is a lecture she has never had – ever. Never in her entire life, with all any of these people. Oh, poor Meredith. I know, but she is definitely strong and deserves a little tiny bit of a breakdown. Well, and then you have Izzie, who is trying to find a way to keep George at SGH, because she loves him, and because he is her friend, and because she cannot imagine life without him. And so she stands there in front of him and basically tells him that their sex meant nothing. And I love that moment where she says ‘I know you wanted it to mean something because it would mean that you didn’t just do something terrible to Callie, it would have meant something bigger, but it didn’t mean anything.’ And then she walks away, and then you have that great scene where she is basically standing in the same linen closet that she was after her and George had that first encounter, and didn’t talk about it afterwards. And she is devastated. And I love that she sacrifices a piece of herself just so she can try to keep him there, and because it is an impossible situation that she has no business being in, and I think she realizes that. I mean, there is a lot of infidelity on our show, I don’t know if you noticed, but what I love about Izzie is that she….both Izzie and George have a very different moral code than almost anybody else in our hospital, in our world. And anybody else who has been involved with someone else who was married. Izzie finds it profoundly disturbing that she has feelings for somebody who happens to be married, and George finds it disturbing that he has cheated, and in a way, you know, Meredith had the excuse that she didn’t know Derek was married when she started sleeping with him, Addison had the excuse that her marriage was falling apart, George and Izzie don’t have that excuse, and they are both trying very hard to do the right and moral thing, and I think they are going to start to find that harder and harder. It certainly feels that way from that scene, and also you get so much of where Izzie’s head is, in terms of how much she longs for the purity of a legitimate relationship when she works with Cristina. I love that moment of Cristina not being able to figure out a way in postponing the whole vows, and the whole idea, and that Izzie in this burst says absolutely everything that she is feeling, and absolutely everything that you would want to….that is romantic, and that is true and is the optimism of Izzie. And there is just enough to point out to Callie exactly what is going on, and then Meredith, in a desperate attempt to save the ball jumps in and tries to identify it as all Denny-orientated, which I love. But I think that is an incredible moment, because despite what she said to George, despite every single promise she is making to herself, she can’t change the fact that that is what a relationship should be, that is what she feels, and that is what she needs. This Cristina wedding thing is pretty interesting. What is good about this episode is that you know that the wedding is coming, and you know that the stuff is coming, and it is coming up fast, it is coming the next day, and Cristina sort of said ‘This is test day, and I will think about the wedding the day after test day.’ Part of that is a little disturbing because, I mean, many a woman is excited to get married. I would not be one of those women, but many women are very excited to get married. But I think it is going to be interesting to see what happens with Cristina in the next episode, when the wedding really does come down, and we don’t do that thing where we end the season waiting breathlessly to see whether the bride will say I do…we don’t do that. There will be plenty of things left up in the air, the marriage of Burke and Cristina will not be one of them. I like to solve things. Correct. And that is an amazing amount of information, which is great. We are opening up, just like flowers. Addison. Addison and the pregnant people. I love that Addison is suddenly realizing that she is a gynecologist who works with people who have babies, and she can’t have babies, it is that sudden feeling that there are babies everywhere, and there have always been babies everywhere, but this is the first time she had noticed it. But I also love the idea that, essentially, geriatrics and twelve year olds can have babies, according to her, which I think is really funny, but I really feel for her because so much of this is to me how you deal with your dream. You know what your dream is, and how you process your dream when it is not what you think it is going to be. And in everyway, shape and form, each of these characters are going through a moment where this is not how they envisioned it, but it this what they want, even though it isn’t happening as they envisioned it? I really loved Joe and Walter. Because I feel like in a very human way we all feel Joe is not so sure he wants a baby and he is definitely not sure he wants twins, but Walter really does, and he loves Walter and he wants to give Walter what he wants. They have been in a good relationship, and I have really enjoyed watching that whole thing grow, because when we first met Joe he was just the bartender, and then he was Joe who bought his boyfriend Walter to thanksgiving, and then he bought Walter camping. Oh, and by the way, we stunned and concussed Walter, and now we have given Joe and Walter babies, or we are trying to give them babies. This is the thing about Joe, he takes care of people at the bar, you know Joe would make just an awesome Dad, because all he does all day long is make sure people get in cabs, and he cuts people off, he puts food in little bowls in the shape of nuts and stuff, and he gives it to them, and I think he is very nurturing in his own bar-pouring way. So I think he would make a good Dad, and I know he is insecure about it, but I think he would actually take care of things pretty well. And it is nice that Joe and Walter are making some progress in that area. The other really huge thing to me is that Ava, who is as close a relationship as Alex has really had as a friend, they have shared a lot, literally has been hiding the fact that she does know who she is. That was something that we really struggled with, because we wanted this idea that Ava has hidden who she is, but we didn’t want Ava to have hidden who she is….like to have actually had her memory all this time, while they are busy operating on her brain, an trying to help her, and have her be lying. What we did like, though, was the idea that memories come back spontaneously, and that she could remember who she is, and you feel that Alex is the only person in her life for her, she has no memories, and he is everything to her right now. And she still doesn’t tell him that she remembers. And I love when he says ‘I don’t know who you are,’ because of course he knows exactly who she is, which is what is so lovely about everything. And as a guy, who, last episode when she said to him ‘what happened to make you like this?’ and he says ‘maybe I don’t remember.’ It is a callback to me of that, which is they are both people who don’t acknowledge who they are. And it is also heartbreaking how terrified she must be, you know, in terms of everything she has gone through, and once again it is what are your expectations? Her expectations of getting her memory back were huge, but she didn’t count on the fact that the memories she got are not necessarily ones that she particularly wanted. And what was really important to me was that those memories be the most mundane thing ever. I didn’t want a husband that beat her, or was a secret serial killer, or a spy, what I really wanted was for her to get her memories back and for her to realize that she was a woman in a bad marriage. And it wasn’t bad in the bad dangerous way; it was bad in a just not very good way. And that is what she was running away from, and she is not sure if she wants to go back. And there is something about…she had created a personality for herself, Ava. And Ava is interesting, and watches the Seattle Grace Show, and Ava has Alex who thinks she is fascinating, and then to discover that she is Rebecca Pope, married to a guy who makes furniture and it wasn’t a very good marriage is sad. And I also think you have all these dreams for your child, she says ‘she’s a cute little kid.’ She is hoping somewhere, without a memory, that what she is bringing to the baby is something huge, is something amazing, something incredible, and to wake up and feel that you are not that I think was really hard for Alex, too. There are two last things that we should talk about. The first thing we should talk about is the race for Chief Resident. As you can tell, it is coming, stuff is happening, and I love the moment where Bailey realizes that Callie is also running for Chief Resident. Because I love the moment when Mark says to her, ‘How does it feel to be chosen one?’ That was my favorite line, I said it constantly, he has to say exactly those words. And then Bailey waits until he leaves, and then she says ‘It feels pretty good.’ Bailey does expect to be the one who is chosen, it never occurs to her that she has any competition at all. And to suddenly realize that Callie has been right beside her, and that this woman is competition. And this woman has put her hat in the ring, and has no problems with it, which is what I love that about Callie, there is nothing catty about her, about what she says or does, she is a good surgeon, and she deserves to throw her hat in the ring. And she is always incredibly direct. You figure that Bailey was told directly from the Chief a little while ago that you are going to have to get a bigger chair, because your legs aren’t long enough, yeah, one day you are going to be Chief Chief. And that expectation is huge, and also to realize that standing right next to her was somebody who is actually, in a lot of ways, and in very different ways, equally qualified. And I love that, because I love that little….Bailey has a little bit of arrogance, the surgeon’s arrogance that I love, and to have it be a little undone in that moment was great. And you see it with the interns, but you rarely see it other places, it is the sense of incredible pride she has in herself. I think you see it most with Sydney. With Sydney she makes no bones about it, she is really obvious, but with Callie, who is a worthy opponent it has no place. But also you want to be gracious, and you want to be mature. The final moment that I think we have to talk about is Derek encountering a character who we call ‘girl in bar.’ Think we could be seeing her again some time soon? I don’t know, I’d love to. She is very sparkly. But how telling is it that Derek meets another girl in a bar? I love the concept of when things are not going so well, Derek looks at the girls in the bar. And he says no, and he doesn’t do a single thing wrong, but he looks. I love that moment, and I think there is a real spark between the two of them, and it is just an interesting encounter. And I love watching Derek’s face of maybe it is too bad, because of what is going on with Meredith, and him feeling very shut out of her life. But still being loyal. Still being loyal the best he can, but the fact that he didn’t even know that she didn’t write anything on the test, the fact that she didn’t even think to come to him. You have to be patient, you know? You have to be patient to put up with that. That is really hard when you are giving, and trying to love…but also, he has his own insecurities. Yes, he is McDreamy, but the man has his own insecurities that perhaps Meredith is going to leave him. And that is his worst fear, and I love that he is an insecure about all this as she is. Our next episode is called, ‘Didn’t we almost have it all?’ and it is also the season finale. You will see some things happen which are connected with things you saw happen this week in an incredible way. You will also see some wedding decorations. Here is a tip for all of you at home when you’re getting married. This is good….first the wrapping paper, and now the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids dresses are always wonderful. But people have different body types. So you put them in the same color, the same fabric, but in a dress that suits their body. Keep that in mind when you are watching, because they are very very very impressive…..We will have a lot more to say next week, because there will be no more secrets…it will be no holes barred, wild, full-out conversation. You won’t believe the stuff we’re gonna say. Oh yeah, it is unbelievable.This is Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, and this is Grey’s Anatomy.

Anxiety attacks, nervous jitters, uncontrollable laughter and really, really sweaty palms – I get it all. So it should come as no surprise that the day Walter and I meet our potential baby’s mama, I’m a nervous freakin’ wreck. Fine, you want me to back it up. Obviously. Having a baby is something Walter and I have been discussing for a while now. He’s always wanted one, and, I admit, I was on the fence for a little while, but we filed an application a few months ago and... well… we met our potential birthmom this morning. Our potential birthmom that’s pregnant with TWO BABIES. TWINS! Okay my leg just started to tremble again. See? Nervous wreck. Rina is her name. She’s seriously one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met. Only 18-years-old. It’s crazy. She came here to meet us for the day. To check us out and make sure we’re a normal couple… It was kind of a test. A very stressful test. A test I probably failed miserably. Walter – he’s taking Rina to the bus station right now – he’s a bit irritated with me. I warned him about my stress issues. I mean, meeting our potential birthmom is a big deal and having a baby is an even bigger deal… Still, Walter acted surprised and annoyed when I stuck my foot in my mouth on several occasions today. I couldn’t help it! Come on – We might be fathers of TWIN BABIES. I’ve only bought ONE book about parenting and I never made it past the chapter on breastfeeding myths. Well, I seriously hope I didn’t ruin our chances with Rina today. She’s going to make a decision soon. There’s one other couple that Rina is considering... Hey, maybe she found my nervousness charming. At least that’s what I’m gonna tell Walter. So, it looks like Derek has decided to throw Burke’s bachelor party right here at the Emerald City Bar. How great is that? It’s pretty awesome that Burke has chosen Derek as his best man. And it’s pretty crazy that Burktina’s wedding is taking place TOMORROW. I, for one, will definitely be there, camera in hand. I cannot miss Cristina walking down that aisle… Man, THAT is going to be something. Um. Wait a second. Why is Derek is talking to a woman – or rather, a girl? A very cute girl. Is that… Are they… FLIRTING?! Something must’ve happened with Meredith and Derek today. I hope it didn’t have anything to do with the intern exams. Seems like today was test day for everybody. Oh man – I DO NOT like the way this chick just smiled at McDreamy. And I REALLY do not like the way McDreamy just smiled back. Wait… Okay, she just walked away. What the hell was that all about?? The anxiety. The jitters. The nervous laughter. And – yep – the really, really sweaty palms… Guess what? They’re all back. Hey – Walter and Rina just walked in! I should –
