Oct. 9, 2007 10:00pm First of all think back to the summer we knew this was going to happen but it seems the original actress fell through. Remember a spoiler came out stating that the person who played nurse Zibby was cast as McDreamy's love interest to try to steal him away? Guess what now it's not nurse Zibby but whatever character this woman will play. Operative word here is TRY. Shonda said she doesn't see him with anyone but Meredith. HE LOVES MEREDITH!!!! Think back to the Ausiello interview did you see how she stressed it? So that does mean something. Next thing this has to be Derek's FINN. Meredith needs a kick in the pants. Love her to death but she has to start being proactive and fighting for the man she loves. She needs to stop leaning on those daddy issues as an excuse not to. I don't like this one bit but I can see the writing on the wall. Shonda ends the year like she starts it. How did she start it? Meredith and Derek together. Meredith choosing Derek and them walking away TOGETHER. It's going to be a bumpy ride so lets hang on to one another. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE COMMENT ON THE BLOGS. And PANEL MEMBERS ALSO ON THE PANEL. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- October 11, 2007 2:00 PM Alright I know that we're supposed to be as bright and shiney as possible and help each other and for the most part I have been sticking to that but right now I must vent or my spleen will burst. I hate what they're doing to Meredith and I hate what they're doing to Mer/Der. This ghost that they have right now is not the Meredith we know. That sneak with them in the supply closet has left me in pain and furious. I can understand Derek's pain. Meredith is taking it too far. She's now sneaking around to shield Cristina? From what? Cristina could care less. As a matter of fact Cristina is playing her. With 401 I leaped onto Shonda's boat and slapped myself for ever doubting her. After the premiere I was doing the slide because Shonda surprised us all because she showed Derek getting it. She showed that verbally they said they were broken up but their actions spoke louder than the words. The love was there. Her blog and podcast backed it up. It was a rocky road but we were gonna get growth. Mer/Der were going to be ok. Meredith was going to face her problems. We got spoilers saying they would flourish and grow closer. NE was giving us the proposal. 108 WINTERS. YAY!!! Now the rug is being pulled with the simple words 'potential love interest" and "the relationships will get closure so new ones can begin." STRETCHER ANGELIQUE NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP FROM THE FLOOR. Shonda Rhimes is a brilliant writer with so much talent. As a woman and a woman of color to rise as far as she has makes my heart so d@mn proud because she broke the barriers of a male dominated Hollywood. So I expect so much more and better from her in the treatment of Mer/Der when the chemistry and the potential are there. I expect better treatment of the Meredith character with the talent of EP. I get it its her vision, it's her story and she's leading the journey. Who am I to question her? I even make excuses and explain certain things to swallow them and accept them and move on. But the pain has become physical. Yes it's just a tv show. It's just a tv show. It's there for enjoyment. Why am I whining? BECAUSE SHONDA IS JUST THAT D@MN GOOD TO HAVE ME HERE CRYING OVER FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!! AND I HATE THAT I SOUND LIKE NANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ________________________________________________________ Oct. 14, 2007 10:00pm I don't know what you want to call this. Mini rant. Defense of Meredith. Defense of Derek. Defense of Mer/Der. Defense of Shonda (big one for me). Defense of the show. When I like a ship I like them through the good, the bad and the down right ugly and nasty. Mer/Der are my ship. From day one Meredith and Derek have melted our screens with their chemistry. From their initial meeting (or rather our initial viewing of them) to the present time. Be they lovey dovey with each other, pining for one another or angry and spitting nails at each other. The chemistry between these to characters leaps off the screen and into our rooms clinging to the very scene they're in. We pick apart the details of their scenes trying to find the symbolism in everything that they do and say to one another. My whole reason for watching and buy three seasons of DVDs is for the MerDer of it all. I love the show as a whole but to be honest they are my primary reason. Wether you love them or hate them they are the central couple of this show. Heck even PD and EP are rooting for them and speaking on how they want them together. In a recent shoot with EW PD even stated he wanted them to get married (Can you see why I love this man?). This is a great couple on Grey's Anatomy. They have been through the ringer and have had very little time to actually be a couple. Meredith as an individual has been through a lot. She came in dark and twisty with the parental issues. Added is the mom on Alzheimers issue, daddy abandonment issues, boyfriend has a wife issues, two NDEs issues, fake mommy death issues, daddy slaps her in the face issues. Meredith has a lot of issues. But the Meredith we were introduced to is a fighter who stayed above her issues and functioned and fought for what she wanted. The feisty Meredith is what drew Derek in. Derek is the only man she can ever love with all her heart. Derek is McDreamy. He came to us broken and Meredith made him whole. He's an honorable and noble man who is everything but perfect. I do not define him as honorable as MamaBurke would. he has flaws with some major holes going on. But he does things with the best of intentions. He wants to be with Meredith. He wants to help her help herself . He loves Meredith. This show has made it so that I hate shapes. Not just any shapes but in particular triangles. The only triangle I want to see is the one found on paper money. Meredith and Derek do not need to be involved in a triangle ever again o a rectangle or a square. The only shape in their future should be a diamond set on top of a circle. With that said Ausiello confirmed that this new character is a potential love interest for Derek. To say the least I was not pleased and started cursing a blue streak. But at the same time I see why they're bringing in this recurring character. Meredith needs a wake up call and hopefully where surgiory failed this character will help her to understand that she needs to get herself together to fight for want she wants and not lean on her issues like a crutch. She sees Derek as the man that loves her but won't let him love her and won't deal with the issues to get to the point where she can. Right now she's comfortable because they may be broken up but she's still getting her time with him. He's not blameless in this but they are playing by her rules. They both have to step up and take care of business. This by no means is th end of them just one hurdle to get through. ------------------------------- October 24, 2007 10:00 PM I am one of the biggest fans of Mer/Der. I love them individually and most especially as a couple. I have to have my Mer/Der fix every day. Don't talk to me about them being apart or with other people because I will shout you down.For the past few weeks we have been getting bitter pills to swallow with the announcement of a new love interest for Derek. Everybody has been pegging it to a foiler and that she's really there for Mark. That's both wrong and right (IMO). Mer/Der are soulmates and belong together. They complete one another. They are not the central aspect of the show. Meredith is. But they are the heart of the show. I DON'T ADVOCATE ON ANY LEVEL THEM BEING IN TRIANGLES OR BEING WITH OTHER PEOPLE. But Mer/Der have issues to deal with and must grow before they can grow together. I love Meredith and think she's a great character. I know that she loves Derek. She wants to be with Derek. But she has to put up or shut up. Yes she had a sht load of tragic things happen to her one right behind the other. Yes she needs to heal and be allowed to heal. Yes she should be supported. Yes Derek should wait. Yes she knows what her issues are. But what is she doing about those issues. Derek can enter a monastery to wait for Meredith but until she does something about it's in vain. She can say until she's blue in the face yeah I have daddy and mommy issues. But what is she doing to correct them? What is she doing to confront them? She's still avoiding. She's like yeah they're there and goes on with life like nothing happened. Derek has his share of the blame in her issues too by hiding the fact he had a wife and choosing said wife over her. But then again did she confront him on it? Did she say when they were starting over you have to earn my trust again? No. She hugs all these issues to her like a crutch and places false layers on them. Before she can expect anything from anyone she needs to expect things from herself and meet those expectations. Meredith has to love herself and see the woman that Derek is inlove with and she doesn't. She has to grow. I love Derek and do believe he is McDreamy but he sure as hell isn't perfect and is very clueless at times. He needs to learn a better sense of timing on things and situations. He loves Meredith and wants to be with her. But Derek's major pitfall is he isn't patient in waiting for things. He sees things as cut and dry, like us fans. They love each other want to be together so they should just fulfill the dream. He gets Meredith and understands that she has issues and loves her issues and all. But he also thinks he can fix her and he can't. She needs to fix herself. He can't drag her because he would be no better than Burke who was dragging Cristina and forging her into the woman the HE thought she should be. In that aspect Derek is way better. He sees her dark and twisted and loves her all the same and wants her like that. Right now she's superbly dark and twisted and he wants her like that. He has the superman complex. He also needs to learn to just sit there and be there, don't try to fix it. He has to grow. Now on to the spoiler. In the spoiler love interest too much emphasis is being put on love. Finn was Meredith's love interest but she did not fall inlove with him. She did try to move on with him but she couldn't because of Derek. Derek owned her heart. This situation seems about to repeat itself. Only this time the shoe is on the other foot and it's Derek with Finnette. A constant thread and theme in this season that I can see is mistakes and learning from them. If you think in your lives certain mistakes are repeated and turn up in our lives until we learn from them. That's what's happening with all the characters. Not just Mer/Der. Derek's words to the chief for turning down the COS position were do it over and learn from your mistakes. Mer/Der need to do it over to learn from their mistakes. Meredith needs to not just say he's a great man but to know it and that she has a right to be happy with said man. Derek needs to learn he can have the perfect life but be willing to compromise a little on how exactly that perfect life is executed and give certain concessions. This woman will serve a double purpose to show Derek yes he can have the great life blah blah blah but not at the cost of the actual person that you want to be with. Meredith to cause a spark to light her up and not let some cheesy interloper come in and take her man. As for Derek leaving Meredith for this woman, I highly doubt that's the case. We have no idea what happens between now and then. But there will come a point where he will have to choose. He chose wrong once but he won't choose wrong again. Derek is not conflicted about his love for Meredith or has doubts about it. His doubts are if she wants to be with him as much as he wants to be with her. The last time she said I love you was in S2. As to Shonda and her words. Shonda says things for a reason if you believe the bad then have enough nerve to believe the good.: love the moment where Meredith and Derek break up, because I,personally was like, 'I'm not ready for them to break up'. I mean, I haven't been ready for them to break up for a long time. So to have them break up and then decide that they were gonna have a little bit of a break up kiss and then a little bit of break up sex, and obviously not get to a place where they could truly break up at all, was great and exciting for us. Because we really can't imagine sort of, having them be apart-apart and we weren't interested in having them be apart-apart. I felt like there was something really fabulous about him saying that he could never leave, and her realizing that no matter how much she says it's over, it's never gonna be over. And what does break up mean for them? And I just love that she's saying 'The more things change, the more they stay the same.' And she and Derek are kissing again. And they have a pull and it's magnetic and it's not going anywhere. And no matter how much she would like it to be simpler than that, it can't happen for her. Which is, in the long run going to be good with her, I think. He's not an axe-murderer, he's McDreamy." - Shonda Rhimes, Grey's Anatomy Official Podcast, September 28th, 2007. In the most recent podcast it states Meredith will get there but she has to grow. Shonda says things for a reason. Shonda stated in her interview that Derek loves Meredith and she can't see him going any where else. People are stating she lied. She didn't lie. She said she can't see him going anywhere else. But she didn't say she wasn't going to test that theory. It sucks but the reality of the matter is that all the great couples through out the history of television have their ups and downs. Max/Liz, Ben/Felicity, Ross/Rachel, Lois/Clarke. But look what she said in her podcast IN THE LONG RUN. So no Mer/Der are far from over. But they must take their journey. They will be together but we have to be patient. As for those that are of the mind and into the conspiracy that she's breaking them down because she wants us not to like them any more well I'll tell you like this. I want Mer/Der together in a healthy relationship working through their problems. If I don't get what I want then Shonda doesn't get what she wants. This whole mess is a thorn on my side so I shall be a thorn on her side through the blog. Everytime she turns around she will see my post asking for my Mer/Der. Meredith is the woman for Derek and Derek is the man for Meredith. Shonda won't give me my satisfaction then I won't give her hers. It's that simple. I'm not a quitter and don't know the meaning of the word. So please don't be so quick to throw in the towel. Let it play out and see where it goes. For in the end Mer/Der will be older and wiser. And I'm willing to bet together before this season ends and the cliffhanger of this season will be Meredith proposing to Derek. :D ------------------------------------ October 25, 2007 8:55 PM My Theory Meredith can't tell him she loves him but she really can't tell him and as much as this stupid triangle annoys me it has to be done to make Meredith better. As much as she let it go. It's still a weight between Meredith and Derek that he chose Addison over her. Derek must show Meredith that he does love her above all else by action. He has to choose her. So in her eyes she sees he had the chance to be with the "perfect" woman and get the all American dream but he chose her to be with and have A dream with her. In that sense she will open to trust him and tell him she LOVES him. ----------------------------- October 30, 2007 2:00 PM Angelique's Rants and musings.* This is my rant since everyone else has one. Why are people trying to find blame between Mer/Der? Why is there a division amongst people who say they're a fan of the couple? Why the doubt in the love of the two? Because she has issues? Because it was announced he was getting a potential love interest? This is Meredith and Derek since when has anything been easy for them? If it were easy it would be boring and people would say that they had it too simple. True love you have to delve into the highs and lows. True the off and on and triangles are nerve racking. There are better ways to test the couple in my opinion (i.e meeting his mother, Nancy, his other sisters, existing in an honest relationship, Cristina). But the point is the question should be why are the writers not pursuing those avenues and not pointing the fingers at the characters and tearing them down. At the beginning of the season it was all this Meredith hate. Now that this woman is being brought in it's all this Derek hate. Both of their characters were ripped up. When you take a good look both have made mistakes and have hurt each other. But it's glaringly obvious that they're deeply inlove with one another. They will both make mistakes but you don't just give up on one or both. They have a chemistry that others would kill to have but don't. So don't tear them up or put one on a higher pedestal than the other. They're Meredith and Derek and they're on a journey to finding themselves and one another. I'm on this ship through icebergs and all and will help to keep it afloat. -------------------------------------- November 3, 2007 8:13 AM I'm starting to really pull at a common thread that seems to be tying itself together. At the beginning of the year Meredith stated you don't know what you have until it's gone. Meredith requested the break up with Derek because she felt it was too much pressure and was relieved it would just be S&M because that would be something she could handle. There would be no pressure. Only to find out Thursday that because Derek isn't there every night to hold her and lay next to her she's having the dreams and panic attacks. We also find out that she feels safe when he just holds hers. So she is finding out what she had while it's gone. Those are her indicators. What will it take her getting the help she needs? Removal of her safety net and her hitting bottom. Meredith dealing with her mother's ashes and opening up to Derek in the oncall room about her NDE (which wasn't a dream ) for Meredith were huge step for her compared to her usual avoidance tactics. But that barely scatched the surface. She's still hugging her issues like a security blanket and a crutch. She told Derek she has abandonment issues. The words came out of her mouth. But when Cristina diagnosed her she poopooed the idea. Our poor Meredith has been through the ringer there's no doubt about that. But she needs to face her issues that she effectively has buried under avoidance for so long that she's now having a physical reaction to them. Derek is the cure. Derek is her safety net. Remove him she will start to scramble as we saw in the Halloween episode. So Rose is going to come in with thorns to pinch Meredith and spur her on to fight her demons. Many say Derek walks away, and it's wrong, but for all his walking away he always walks right back because he doesn't want her to be the one that got away. She's his big trout (I know not very romantic) which is why Addison didn't like trout. Not one person has ever done that for Meredith in terms of a male figure. I don't count Finn because he was more of a hinderance and in the end Liz and the horses would have come between them. Yes Mer/Der and their love are a rare bird. It's extremely special and surrounds them in a bond so tight that will guarantee they survive the bumps and twists and turns. So basically what will spur Meredithon to get help and face the issues is really facing losing Derek. Then she will have to confront her father on the damage he did and before they can honestly move forward in their relationship Meredith will have to speak to Derek on the damage he did by withholding the details of his marriage then choosing Addison over her. Yes he admitted he chose wrong but he still has to know what he did to her and to what extent. As for the comment she made the more he makes himself availible the more I push him away that has nothing to do with other women and everything to do with Mer/Der. In 405 Meredith only saw the exchange between Sydney and Derek and nothing to do with any other nurses. In the exchange between Sydney and Derek the flirtation was one sided and that was all Sydney. All Derek gave her was professional attentiveness. Then Sydney nailed the coffin by asking if there were any shepherds in his family history. It's the more he becomes availible to Meredith is the more she feels his needs to be closer to her the more she gets scared and pushes him away because she can't or doesn't want to deal with so much emotion and feelings. She scared so she pulls away. Just like she did after her mother called her ordinary. She doesn't know how to deal with those feelings. So of course when he asks for more, added that Thatcher will be in the picture, she will turn him down and push him away. Sounds sad but enter the silver lining. Both Derek and Meredith are hard headed and stubborn and in a blink of an eye will be entangled together and tighter than ever before trying to fight their feelings and losing that battle. As Roush said Derek will not give up on Meredith. They will make it and then we will have the wedding that will occur and be the extravaganza of the year Mer/Der. ---------------------------------------------------

The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now.

I stand by what I have said on this so far.... BUT - I do agree that Meredith often puts Cristina first, which hinders her relationship with Derek. I don't, however, think that this is a problem, or a fault of Cristina's. That lies squarely with Meredith, which is why I leap to Cris' defence so easily. stickingouttongue Often people don't like Cristina based mainly on her 'being a problem for MerDer.' I just don't see how it is her fault that Mer tends to put her first. I love Meredith. She is most definitely my favorite character, so I'm not trying to put her down in any way. I love her, really I do. But the poor girl has issues...lol. She just needs to learn to fully trust people other than Cristina. (Although I get why she doesn't) Cristina is the safe option for her. But Mer needs to learn to give that same level of commitment to Derek. She needs to open herself up to Derek too. She can have both, she just needs to seperate them out a bit more. I also think that if Cristina accepted Derek then it would make things better for MerDer. Cris seems to still be pissed at him for what he did in season 2, and she needs to deal with that. It seems to me that in Cris' mind perhaps she is being supportive of Mer by disliking Derek, but really the opposite is true. She needs to accept that Derek loves Meredith, and vice versa. Derek and Cristina need to stop blaming each other for things and to try to at least be civil. (Cris for who knows what, and Derek for Cris being close to Mer) So, basically, the possible spoilers we heard about Derek and Cristina starting to get on (from the FutureGreysWriter thread) make me happy, and points to good things for MerDer too. (Assuming they are true...lol) Anyway, I'm done now. Sorry for the ramble. I just didn't want people to think that I think Cristina is perfect. She's not. None of them are. (Hence Shonda's 'flawed people' theme...) But she has her good points (imo). Oh, and one thing I do wish.....I wish that she would desist from calling her interns by numbers.....lol. Okay, I'm truly done now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The board let me post!! Jenna throws a party* Well, this is a Derek post. People can love both Derek and Meredith. It doesn't necessarily have to come down to who you love more. They are different characters, and that is how Shonda and Co write....her characters have layers....they are onions!!bigsmile We gradually peel off a little bit at a time, revealing a little bit more about them. Derek, as he stands, is nearly the full onion. We know very little about him, at the moment, besides the fact that he is supposed to be �perfect.� Derek is expected to be McDreamy 24/7. He isn't allowed to have faults or flaws, and that is not Shonda's way. He is McDreamy, but he can't be expected to be McPerfect. As Jasmin said, there are higher expectations. From ep 3.20 on, he became less McDreamy and more human. He showed the struggles he was going through and was condemned for it. Then, he 'made up for it' with his 'you're the love of my life' speech. He needs to be allowed to be an idiot, to make bad decisions, to be human without people leaping on the �Derek's a jerk� train. He needs to be able to have moments where it is all about him. He gets to be a little selfish. It seems everyone but him does. Under his McDreamy persona he is expected to put everyone before himself�effectively become a doormat. It�s driving me nutty, all these higher expectations of him. He physically can�t do it. No-one is perfect, and no one should have to be. His flaws don�t make him less McDreamy, they make him 3 dimensional. They make him a character I am interested in, a character I want to learn more about Derek knows that Thatcher slapped her. He was there. And imo, and I'm going to be shot for this......he did what he should have done. To walk up to a man who just lost his wife, who was obviously completely devastated, who had just lost the woman he loved above all others, the sweetest woman in the world�..to walk up to that man and have it out with him....be they yelling or fighting with him...is just not something I would have wanted to see. In my eyes, that doesn't make him Mer's protector or make him a bigger man. Thatcher is an @ss. Everyone knows that I think he is an @ss. And in this instance, yes, he is a big @ss�.but he is an @ss I understand because his world had stopped. If there is one thing I can �forgive� Thatcher for, it is the slap. I hate him for it, heck, I loathe him for it�.but I understand how he could get himself to that point 1 second after hearing his wife had died. Derek tried to talk to her after that, he grabbed her and tried to make her listen and she pushed him away. He then turned around, after her rejecting him, and went to her place like he said he would. He showed up. He went from witnessing Mer falling apart and rejecting him to showing up and seeing her drinking and laughing with her friends. He felt left out, shut out after she said she would let him in and he walked away. But she walked away first. He kept to what he said and he showed up. Derek cannot be held responsible for Mer's flaws. Terri�s pearls of wisdom were spot on, imo; �no judgements and no excuses.� These character�s are flawed. They are human. That should be enough for them to do things we don�t always like. This show is like a book. Heck, any show is like a book. Each chapter is not going to go the way the reader wants. There are twists and turns in each chapter to compel the reader to keep reading. To me, Shonda is the author of GA....and a brilliant one at that. She has twists and turns that compel me to keep watching. I'm not going to 'stop reading' because of something that happens that I don't like. Because I started this, and I'm going to finish. it. I love this show, but I love this show for what it is. And it is a drama first and foremost. So there will be dramatic plotlines. But I am watching to the end because honestly, nothing has happened yet that I truly hate. (Well, obviously stuff has, but nothing to make me say...'I give up. This sucks.' I'm in this till the epilogue, so to speak.) I�m in this till the end because to me, the race is just as fun, just as entertaining as the finish line. runs into the bushes and hides ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also thought these little gems might be useful...they also might not....we'll have to see I guess... From the words of Shonda herself, about Meredith and Derek, or relevant things about either of them...taken from blogs and podcasts...anything and everything I could find.... :D 1) 'Derek's a changed man when he meets her for the first time.' 'And this is the �split second�, the moment they meet, that has changed the course of their lives forever.' - Fairly self-explanatory.....:-D And 'changed the course of their lives FOREVER.'....hmmm...... 2) 'I love the moment where Susan says �we could be your family,� and I thought that moment was really sad for Meredith because she can�t see it yet.' - Meredith can't see it YET....she can't see a family yet, but we have the rest of the season to see that relationship develop....Meredith and Lexie....this is exciting, people..! There comes a point when Mer has to learn to let people in...to become vulnerable and to TRUST that people do want to get to know her, to be with her....so Lexie is a positive for MerDer, imo. 3) 'He lays up at night listening to her breath and sort of hoping that she�ll not have get into that situation like again. And its basically his fear that he�s realized that its possible to lose Meredith and that�s now become the most important thing in his life.' - Meredith is the most important thing....which has been proved to us in ep 4.01 and 4.02...because he now gets why she is the way she is...he has finally learned all about the ways of Meredith Grey. 4) 'In the end, he clearly loves Meredith so deeply, he�d rather walk away than risk hurting her again. And Meredith, in turn, loves Derek so much, she does the difficult thing, the brave thing, the honorable thing, and breaks up with Finn, in spite of the fact that she knows Derek won�t be there for her afterward.' - So, they love each other 'deeply' and they love each other 'so much.' Each of them made a sacrifice for the other.....this time, however, imo Derek realises what him walking away will do...how much more damage that will do to Mer's abandonment issues....besides, he really, really doesn't want to walk away...he wants more... 5) 'That�s what it means to be Ham. You just have to commit to something. Whether you want to or not.' 'at the end, he�s where he�s always wanted to be. Pressed up against Meredith. With next to no space between them�' - Derek is Ham. 'Nuff said. 6) ' But as long as Derek is with Meredith, we know she�ll get through.' 7) 'And even though it was a minor fight, it�s very revealing for Meredith. She�s not used to fighting with someone and having them come back.' 'Special English tea is better than meth, and love�s better than special English tea. It may put you through the ringer sometimes, but when it�s good, it�s really really good. Worth coming back to, time and time again. Worth getting hooked on.' - Derek came back. She said it was over and he came back. His 'I'll always show up' speech is coming true...to me, at least. Because he's sticking with it. Mer isn't used to someone coming back to her....so the fact that Derek stuck with it is important. It proves things to her. Important things. And Derek loves her.....it's worth coming back to... 8) 'But they love each other, they really truly love each other and so�how much can they really be broken up?' - More words about their love, this time in season four....:D 9) My own thoughts....in 'Where the Boys are' (3.07) Meredith and Derek were not together. Derek was taking space...and Mark ended up in the bar with Meredith. She went with him....but at the end of 4.02, Mark asks her to get a drink...what is her response? No. She said no. Her and Derek are 'broken up' in her mind, they aren't really together, and she said no. Same situation, or at least a very similar situation...and Mer says no this time. This time, it's all about Derek. And the smiles, ladies, the 'swoon' moment...those smiles say it all. :wub: Just my thoughts for the evening...I was supposed to be writing and I did this instead... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted Nov 2 (4.06) Marlin, I said I would watch and tell you what I thought on the Mer/Cris drama. So, here goes�.I still like Cris. To be honest, I had no problem with what she did. I did particularly like when she said........'You know, being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things.' So, so, so true�.Mer has the first part worked out�.she realizes the issues are there, now is the time to deal with them. This would be Mer rocketing up the grow-o-meter�..(thanks for that analogy Rachel...stickingouttongue) I actually liked the moment where Cristina says 'I don't know.' Because, in all honesty, I wouldn't want Cris to be making that decision for Mer. I can totally understand why people think she should have told Mer what to do, or told her to tell Derek how she feels. But imo, that decision rest soley with Meredith. There are some things in life that others can't decide for us. This is one of them. Meredith needs to sort out what she wants and decide for herself to open up to Derek. She needs to do it for her, not for Cris. She needs to do it because it is what is right for her, because it is something she wants and needs, not because Cristina told her to. Meredith knows what is right for her� Terri, I liked your take on it. Cristina there as a back-up, going steath...sunglasses I agree with that, and found that really interesting. Cristina is, imo, being there for Mer in a way that Mer will accept. Meredith does not respond well to pressure...in fact, she runs the opposite direction. Which is why I think she needs to make the decision on her own. It's a much healthier way to be, and leads to a much healthier relationship for MerDer. Which is what the majority of us want, so yay! Cris sat on a bed and listened to Meredith give her list of �things��.Cris wrote them down and worked out a diagnosis from the text book. Because text books have never failed her�they got her where she wanted to be, and they, in her mind, could help her Meredith. The thing that struck me the most � they were studying psychology. Cristina thinks psych is a bunch of hooey but she did it for Meredith. A good friend listens to a problem. Sometimes listening is all it takes�look how far Mer came on her own�she told Cris her problems, she explained to Cris about the NDE�.she explained it, like a trial run, I guess�..which then led to her talking to Derek. Sometimes the act of listening and letting someone work things out in their brain is more helpful� of course, that might be just me�.stickingouttongue stickingouttongue Another thing I thought about when I was watching it�.Cris is not like Ellis, imo. Sure, in a lot of ways they are similar�.that drive to succeed, that strong, independent way about them, their intense love for what they do�..but in other ways, in the ways that matter, Cris is, imo, so very, very different. Would Ellis Grey have sat with Meredith on a bed and let her voices her �things�? I�m thinking no, she wouldn�t. Ellis would have told Meredith to get over herself. Ellis Grey would never have been there in the first place. Would Ellis Grey have let Derek say any of what he did to her? Would she have just quietly answered �I�m taking care of her.��..again, I�m thinking that no, she wouldn�t have. Cristina is not perfect�sure, she can be selfish at times, incredibly selfish�.heck, who isn�t? No one is unselfish all of the time. Cris isn�t perfect, but imo she also isn�t Ellis. Not in the ways that matter.

This locker will probably be visited so infrequently I'll have forgotten the combination and the smell of stale food will be emanating from it. Sorry about that. :P But Terri asked me to post... so :wub: April 12th, 2008 NoTroutForMe said... Hey Ladies! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. :) I just finished a laundry sorting marathon whilst watching 2 epis of my S3 DVD's, hadn't really had time/motivation to rewatch until now. :rolleyes: Anyway, I watched Great Expectations (lots of extra little bits in there, didn't realize it was extended) and Wishin' and Hopin'. OMG. I pretty much LMAO'd. Toxic blood patient? The guy didn't know her middle name and George looks up from her driver's licence... "ROSE." :D I wonder if that was an aquamarine shirt Rose had on in the elevator pictures, b/c the woman's first name was Marina.... :P Loved the Ellis conversations with Cristina, Derek and Richard in the light of what we're seeing now... hope Cris and Richard might think about sharing with Mer in the future, it may be helpful for her. Ellis: You're what happened to her. Derek: I'm sorry... Ellis: I thought you were here for me. To offer me some hope, to tell me about some new treatment, but you're here for her. Derek: Dr. Grey. Ellis: An attending? A neurosurgeon? No wonder she's so unfocused. Derek: I don't think you understand... Ellis: Oh, I understand. I understand perfectly. I've seen men like you before. Threatened by a woman that's their equal. You just want someone to admire you. And you don't care about the damage you do to her along the way. ** Cristina: Dr. Grey, I need to ask you. Will it get in my way? Can I have both. Can I be a great surgeon and have a life? Cause there is this great man who just asked me to marry him and I know you tried to have both and you split up with Meredith's dad and I know this is none of my business. Ellis: It is none of your business..... And I didn't try hard enough. ** Ellis: I wish I could go back. I'd do everything so differently. I'd fighter harder for you. I think if I'd fought for you... Richard: We would have had a wonderful life together Ellis. Ellis: You think so? Richard: I do. We would have done our fellowship here. And then you would have fought me for chief and probably one and I wouldn't have minded cause we'd have kids at home. Ellis: We have kids? Richard: Meredith would have needed a brother and sister. Kids need family. Ellis: We would have been a family. Richard: Probably bought that big house on Parker, the one with the barn. That's a good place for a family. Ellis: And I would have been happy just like Meredith says she's happy. And that would have changed everything. Maybe...I would be fine and we could grow old together and life would be so perfectly ordinary. April 16th, 2008 NoTroutForMe said... (Terri quoted Shonda saying "I think they're going to be happy, but I don't think there's any 'happily ever after,'" says Rhimes. "If Meredith and Derek walked off into the sunset, then that would be it. The show would be over." ... and said she's had reservations posting for fear of sending people to the ledge). I saw your comment after this Terri, and while I don't do ledge... I do wanna cry. In fact, I wanted to cry last night and this has made it worse. Here's the story. We got a TV for our bedroom, a nice flat screen HDTV thing, and what better way to christen it when hubby went out to the gym but with a bit of PD? :P I didn't fancy continuing my S3 re-watch (had got up to ferryboat arc and wasn't up for that frown), so put in S1. Used to be my happy place. Not any more! I couldn't tie in the discussions before on MerDer possibly working together on a trial for early-onset Alzheimer's... I admit I kind of skimmed over it, but remembered the comment about Mer having her blood taken and how we never found out if she has genetic markers. It was in the back of my mind.... So I'm watching 1.01 and get to: "I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower, okay, and when I get back down here, you won't be here, so, um, goodbye...um..." cries OMG... she can't remember his name!!! :unsure: Yes, I've seen it a million times and translated it as being too drunk to remember, but now...? Foreshadowing? I just wanted to cry. Trying to not ramble, but there's more... "There will be no memories" "Me, on the other hand...I'm kinda screwed." Comparing Mer to Ellis: "I'd know you anywhere, you're the spitting image of your mother" There's a very obvious shot of her hands before going into the KB surgery, which struck me at the end of the epi when we see Ellis playing with her fingers in a very similar way. Trying to find some hope and tying in to Mer fighting for Der... part of what I posted a few days ago from Wishin' & Hopin': Ellis: I wish I could go back. I'd do everything so differently. I'd fight harder for you. I think if I'd fought for you... Richard: We would have had a wonderful life together Ellis. --- Ellis: And I would have been happy just like Meredith says she's happy. And that would have changed everything. Maybe...I would be fine and we could grow old together and life would be so perfectly ordinary. Maybe Mer will be fine if she fights for Der and grows old with him...? Talking myself off the ledge here... :P I also watched 1.02... Meredith: She's not going to make it, is she? Derek: She's going to be fine. Meredith: If she ever wakes up. Derek: (nodding) If she ever wakes up. But what makes Mer wake up and fight? Meredith: I can't believe I caved. Cristina: I blame the babies. Toxic. Meredith VO: So, you can waste your life, drawing lines, (cut to Derek, on the phone outside Alison's room. Suddenly, he puts down the phone, mouth open. He's seen something) Or, you can live your life crossing them. (Low angle shot of Alison. Her eyelids are fluttering. They open and she sees Derek). Derek: Welcome back. :) ... maybe? If this makes sense to anybody but me, I�ll be shocked. But shoot me down, please, because I don�t want MerDer together only for her to develop Alzheimer�s. Even with all that has happened, I have never once threatened not to watch� but that I couldn�t bear to see. Too heartbreaking, with or without a McBaby. :( Edited by oncetherewasaway, Oct 23 2008, 04:50 PM.

Dedicated to the GG�s & the Fab4. Girls, at first I thought I was nuts (not disputing that) when I was going to attempt to send updates from the event, and when I read through the actual text I sent, I was right! At least you must have had a laugh trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about, because as I looked at this now, I�m cracking up. So, here goes... I�m leaving the original and filling in the rest, as I go back a week or 9 days later and recount how the evening went. Since we all love details, to sort of set the stage, it was cold, certainly low 59�s at the most, and I�d day probably upper 40�s by the end of the night, I was wearing a turtleneck and a coat jacket which is warm and I could feel the chill, no idea how Ellen stood out there as long as she did signing autographs or Katherine smoking by the stage door without a coat. LA traffic is as bad as I�d heard, and luckily we were able to get there on time. My best friend, who happens to be a writer moved out to LA in December so it was the perfect time to combine the trip. For those of you who like trivia, Royce Hall is considered one of the finest of America�s concert halls. Today, Royce Hall is not only regarded as the symbol of UCLA, but also as ground zero for the most exciting, innovative and far-reaching programming on the West Coast. http://www.uclalive.org/about_royce.htm I�m going back and adding comments along the way, inserting them where they seem to be most fitting. Sorry about all the fonts, think it�s a combination of blackberry and whatever I�m using here. Update 1 Sent: Fri Feb 29 22:55:25 2008 (7:55 PT) Subject: Royce hall Have program in my hands don't pay attention to grammar Ok... I had program in my hand, and asked, thankfully that you not pay attention to the grammar! I will write out Shonda�s not tomorrow (this meant I�d type out Shonda�s letter that appeared on the inside of the program, which I did manage on Saturday morning) I used only initials, figuring you�d know the actors I was referring to. Lo & behold, feel like a total moron in hindsight, when I wrote, no idea who Audra McDonald was � remember I don�t really watch Private Practice. This was meant as an advance of what was to come in the program. Act one PD video. Msg KH Sara Ramirez "meadowlark" Ellen Pompeo TR knight "Losing My Mind" You could drive a person crazy BS and ED Chandra Wilson God bless the child Amy Breneman Paul Adelstein Chandra Wilson PA ED Chyler and Justin Audra McDonald with Doug Perry no idea who they are Act two Kate Walsh video Taye Loretta Tim Daly Chris Lowell TD PA CL AB California stars James Pickens Loretta Devine Gina Taylor with Joe Byrd "Dr Feel good" TRK SR JC ED SO KH Audra Shonda Special mystery guest Ensemble Sara Ramirez grateful Used initials since u know who they are Update 2 Sent: Fri Feb 29 23:02:17 2008 Subject: Update 2 Here at the hall doors not open yet just getting quick bite haven�t had anything since 1 on the flight here. The had it set up, you were able to buy drinks and sandwiches, which was good cause on the way to LAX I got the last $ 5 wrap on the plane, so 10 rows behind me got nothing! And, got the last turkey sandwich at the event as well. Finally the doors were open we were able to sit down, and got the program, that is when I typed it to give you heads up, cause I knew it would be difficult once the show started, in spite of the fact I had prepared and saved 22 drafts of messages so I could email you all � it�s great I thought of that, otherwise it would have been impossible. Being the quiet person you all know me to be...it was difficult not to talk to the couple sitting next to me, especially since the lady in the row in front had told them Marc Cherry had just walked by. I asked them if they were involved with the show or just fans, and they told me their friend, the lady that I just mentioned was producer of the DVD�s � her name is Sara, did not get her last name, and that is why they were there. They were very gracious and did not mind my continuous typing and the glare of the blackberry � it�s important, I�ll get back to it later. We were told not to take flash pictures, and since I had no idea how to turn the flash off the camera, I took one of the stage before it started, and followed the rules. The show begins� the clip below does show some highlights, try to watch it, not sure how long it will stay on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAqsKNMfpHA Patrick on video from Japan. This is now hazy, but takes my word for it there was lots of white and black, just not sure which was which. The couch was either white or black�and the cushion was either or with a lobster or scorpion in the opposite color. The piano in the background was definitely black! I It reminded me of a bad movie with the bachelor trying to be cool, and of course, that is probably my very mistaken interpretation of what they were attempting to portray. Anyhow, he is sitting there, with a black leather jacket, no it was not white! Dark glasses, and a glass of red wine, with a much larger than average cup... except maybe they use those for wine tasting. Hilarious to his right, is a boxed set of Giselle and �him� as he welcomes everyone and apologizes for not being there, but that he is in Japan promoting Enchanted. Spoke briefly of the strike, glad it was over, and why the benefit. He was quite funny in his dialogue, and quipped about how important writers were, because they make him look good, otherwise he�s still be the geek. From a movie he mentioned which I have not seen. Sorry!!! My discovery and obsession with PD was after Grey�s. But, it was one of those films he played a geek obviously. Pd in Japan With glass of wine dark glasses And enchanted dolls by his side Funny They make him look good comment From the video, he introduces Katherine Heigl. Now, this is my editorial comment, I do not understand why she would come on before Ellen, but, admit she was good and is good with comedic timing. She looked gorgeous, hair up, short red dress. She opens the show and has spoof on the importance of crew... or not� as in do they really need make up? Hair-dresser? And out comes he hairdresser, and then writers�well, she had no script and nothing to say and last, lighting? Why need them. And the stage went black. She then introduced Sara Ramirez, she was wearing black, at first I thought mid calf dress, but just not really, had black opaque stockings so hard to distinguish, dress below the knees and boots. What an amazing, amazing voice. She sings Meadowlark. Got a standing ovation, by the way the only one all evening. Katherine Heigl in red dress introduced show Spoof on makeup writes and lightning Sara Ramirez singing Update 3 What is a best boy? This was the question posed throughout the evening, by most everyone on stage� nobody knew! Ellen came on stage and spoke of the various credits that roll at the end of the show and their importance, and then they got to the best boy, and well, what did they do? Who was it? Chandra comes out on stage, they confer for a few seconds and comes back and says� she doesn�t know either! Some of you have asked how tall Ellen is, no idea, really, though I�m short and she wasn�t much taller than me, but I had heels, so I�d say no more than 5�7 but she was wearing boots with heels so who know. She is very petite. She is very thin, when she walked across the stage to meet up with Chandra, I thought with all the speculation that she could be pregnant; well she is so incredibly thin, not a little bump on her. My impression of her was that she was adorable and genuine. EP introduced TR who sang "Losing My Mind" & "You Could Drive a Person Crazy". He was cute, and very, very short. All the men pretty much throughout the night wore black�but none better than Eric Dane! Ellen Pompano is adorable Chandra Wilson came on stage to help her figure out what best boys do. She didn't know either will expand later Sara Ramirez has an amazing voice and got standing ovation. TRK singing now Update 4 Chandra Wilson came on stage she was wearing long black sleeveless dress. Sang "God Bless the Child", much different style than when we heard her on Grey�s, and truly beautiful as well. She sang with a bit of the blues mixed in. Chandra Wilson singing with a tinge of blues This tell you how much attention I paid to Private Practice Stars, after her, Amy Brenneman was on stage; Paul Adelstein sang Slip sliding Away, think he is Cooper. Ed hot (don�t think this needs interpretation!!!) Update 5 Chandra, Paul & Eric on stage at the podium. Chandra mentions, fans are so passionate; you�re scared of them sometimes! CW reads fan letter, you know the type, Dear Shonda, I�m a huge Mer/Der fan, and if you don�t fix them, I�m never going to watch the show�and on and on� suggested that they totally erase the last episode, and use the scene from Pretty Woman, where he comes up the fire escape staircase and sings to her and brings flower. Lots of please, please, please do this and that and the other, because if you don�t, I will never watch the show�signed Merderfan324 Paul Adelstein read all the suggestions that were sent by a fan for what should be the romantic pairings on Private Practice & again, it was very funny but I think that�s when I typed my message! You understand where my priorities were � not on Private Practice. Though I do believe the fan wanted Audra�s character to be with the surfer, which to me is what!! Chandra Wilson read fan letter Pretty woman scene will fill in later passionate fans scared then!! Lol Mewrderfan324 PRP suggestions for matches Update 6 This was hilarious!!! Eric Dane looking absolutely gorgeous, yes even from afar, read his fan letter. The fan says, they can�t take it anymore, why aren�t you showing us more of McSteamy, why is he the only one with clothes on. For God�s sake George is having all the sex. Why bring in this gorgeous man and he�s the only man on the cast with spectacular abs, if he�s not going to take his clothes off. Cause you know, no man that pretty could be smart enough to be a doctor. Why not do a spin off where he goes to a nudist colony, like a naked private practice. Suggested also that the power could go off in the OR room, and he�d have to take his shirt off and operate shirtless, cause the back up generator would be only for the operating equipment, I�m paraphrasing, but it was HILARIOUS.. Imagine our surprise, when we heard who the fan was. Deadpan, he said, signed, Eric Dane. Ed Can't take it anymore G having all the sex Why not Mark Mcsteamiest character only with clothes on Cast spetac abs No man that pretty could be smart enough to be a doctor Spin off nudist colony Naked Private practice More ms ms ms Signed Ed Update 7 Chyler Leigh & Justin Chambers on stage, made fun of themselves, her really. She was adorable, very ditzy almost like Lexie�s rambles. She was talking about the weekly collection where you actually get money out of the pot, and then if you need $ 5 for coffee during the week, there you are. Justin explained that was a raffle, where everyone put money in, and someone took the entire pot every week. She also asked about how big a deal it was that the writers were back after all they get paid all this money, and only work 3 times a week like 6 hours each day. Justin explained that was actually the actors. It was silly & funny. Audra came on & sang "Somedays" with Doug Perry & Dan Perry (musicians). Oh my God, what a voice!!! Yes, I realized who she was when she came on stage, she is actually a 4 time Tony winner, thus my DUH comment. Chyler Leigh & Justin Chambers are funny, cute and ditzy Audra is from PP pcrt duh Update 8 Taking my own intermission here to read some fics... I can�t stay on one thing for too long�and I�m not really ADD, just too damn nosy and curious not to read. You know... �Curiosity killed the cat� satisfaction brought him back.� I�ll be back. Oops... almost forgot, after intermission, the couple I was sitting next two, had their friend Sara sit with them, and introduced me, and asked me to tell her what I had been doing all night� so I showed her my blackberry and my messages to you guy� well, she is the producer of the DVD�s so it was funny, she asked me what I thought, loved them, she does all the interviews, props.. Etc... that we see on the S1/2/3 DVD�s I haven�t gone back to get her full name, but I will, cause I told her I had written Shonda about placing a blue ribbon somewhere on the show� during April, National Child Abuse Prevention Month, that�s another story� yes, I wrote Shonda a 2 page latter about it. She asked me how I liked Private Practice, and I told her, sorry� I don�t. GG�s you are famous!!! She knew I was emailing you throughout the show. They do read the boards�.but don�t respond! Well, let me say, she reads the boards, but doesn�t respond. I�d keep this comment to ourselves. Intermission Going to go back and type something legible tomorrow hard as its happening Photos impossible Update 9 Kate Walsh is on video, in Sydney, evident by the backdrop of Sydney Harbor Bridge, and she is getting a massage by an attractive�.sexy muscular man! Sorry can�t be there, ABC is working her like a dog, as she sips Veuve Clicqot Champagne (one of my favorites, so I recognized the orange label) and goes on to say how difficult the strike has been on everyone, to much laugher form the audience Taye Diggs is on stage, and his part also involves who/what is the best boy, and he�d like to be the best boy. Loretta Divine sings �I Believe in You & Me� her dress was long, I want to say a neutral color, maybe silver or beige. Amazing voice. Time Daly & Chris Lowell on stage, they too brought roles of script supervisor & best boy. Tim Daly, Paul Adelstein, Chris Lowell and Amy Brenneman sing �California Stars.� KW in Sydney Taye Diggs wants to be best boy ongoing joke this eve Loretta amazing voice Update 10 This was funny, James Pickens comes on stage dressed as James Brown, lip syncing when Loretta comes on stage and says, Jim�what are you doing� you are not supposed to be lip syncing� think the song may have been I feel good�he is contrite, says he can�t sing and takes off his wig. Then he introduces his wife, Gina Taylor Pickens who sings �Dr. Feelgood� touch of blues... touch of jazz, amazing voice as well. James Pickens lip syncing to James brown Update 11 This was hilarious: TR, Sara, Justin, Eric, and Sandra & KH... each reading fan fic. First, Sandra & Sara & I think Eric& JC and they each play the role of a character, as they have to deal with a �wolf�� not just a wolf, Sara says, but a werewolf! Cristina did not flinch! Was Sandra�s line, everyone cracked up. Then you had KH & TR, he played Lord George O�Malley, and Izzie the governess to his sister�s twin boys, and Izzie talks of his taught thighs. I noticed TR is very short & KH towers over him. KH interrupts the scene, and says she remember who best boy is� boy she kissed in 9th grade. At this point they end their scene, and he says, you just kind of ruined this, I don�t think we should be friends anymore. Werorewol Lord George Izzie governess His taut thighs For sisters twin boys TRK is very short KH towers over him Update 12 Audra sings a song, that was supposed to be �It�s the Christian Thing To Do� which I tried, not very diligently, to get the lyrics, because she said, it reminds her of Addie, and for you Private Practice fans, that might be a spoiler. Something about children running through is mentioned in the lyrics. Song Audra sings song remind of Addie Update 13 Shonda Rhimes Shonda was introduce and she gave nothing away, as I believe she did mention KW would appear on Grey's but nothing more, and that was already news that was out earlier in the day. She thanked everyone for attending, and that was it. She did say, she was nervous to be in front of so many people speaking, and quipped that who was she to be there�s he was no McSteamy or McDreamy� but then again�maybe she was.. which was funny, as she is all those characters. She then introduced the �Special Mystery Musical Guest� that appeared on the program, Patti Griffin sang �Up to the Mountain� written as a tribute to Martin Luther King, and played on 4.11 The entire cast came on stage for a few minutes, not longer than 2, and at that point, I thought, what the hell� and took a couple of shots which you saw not very good.. It was simply written as �Ensemble� on the program, and then followed by Sara Ramirez, she sang �Grateful� and after she finished and received her applause the curtains closed, or perhaps the stage was just empty. I had expected that the entire cast to make another appearance on stage, but they did not. Children running through Patty Griffiths? Song milk from 411 Shonda just thanked everyone for attending Update 14 � At this point, it was 133 AM EST, and 1033 Pt, and the Show had been over about 10 minutes and when we walked over at the back, saw about 30 people gathered, and figured, why not wait and see who comes out, after all, a five hour non stop flight merited waiting just a bit, my friend Maureen wanted to kill me. While waiting, you could see KH smoking, it was freezing, don�t know how she was out there without a coat, and SO hugged her goodbye when she left and got in her car, she had a driver. There were cameras and I asked one of the guys who he was with TMZ. I asked him what would be the most coveted footage, and he said JC since he had just been in the �loony bin� which I found so insensitive. As you�ve all seen, I think the most footage shown was Ellen�s footage. Show was over like 10 Waiting in the back SO left hugged KH goodbye who was smoking outside About 30 people here and the cameras Going to wait about 15 min more Update 15 It�s now 2:21 AM EST 11:21PM PT The waiting paid off, it was more than 15 minutes, but Eric Dane came to the barricades with his wife, and signed some autographs. I am not a �yell� at the stars�fan... but, I did say, Eric, you were right; we want to see lots more of Mcsteamy. He was getting ready to get in his car, a silver Porsche, when the girl standing next to me, said, Eric sign my crutches� and he came back, and said that was the �strangest/weirdest� one of those words he�d ever had. So, at that point I told him I had flown in from Miami, and he signed the cover of the program, and said, I�m going to Miami tomorrow, I told him I was flying back home Sunday night. Eric is prettier, hotter, steamier up close than I imagined, though the photos I took don�t do justice. Right after he left, Ellen walked out, and she definitely draws the crowd, cause under the covered area before they got the parking area, they had lots and lots of flashes going off., or it could have just been that they had a camera rolling and the lights went on. She approached the crowd, and you�ve all likely seen the videos. She was giving orders to the photographers not to push the girls in the front. She was lovely and gracious, and signed all the autographs requested and posed for photos. She was there at the very least 15 minutes because she went from one end to the other, and there were more than 30 people there. They had parked her Range Rover within the barricades before she got there, and she drove away herself, along wit a friend or assistant, whom she referred to as Maria in the passenger seat. Yes, that was the highlight of the evening, the unexpected chance to meet her and that God awful photo of me, and a very nice shot of her! Ellen & Chandra have always been my favorites, as they are seemingly the most down to earth, without letting fame get in the way, and after meeting her for a few minutes, she really is lovely. Got photo with Ellen and her auth and also ED autograph he is gorgeously pretty She is unbelievably gracious stayed and took photos and signed auth for over 15 min She drove herself there guess with her asst My dear GG�s� hope I did it justice. Sorry I did not get to it earlier, but certainly it was a very entertaining evening and delighted to share it with you. Warmest regards, Jasmin...aka/yes, we know� let�s just say... Jazzy Rose will do� LOL! Edited by oncetherewasaway, Oct 23 2008, 04:51 PM.
