Patrick Dempsey Happy to Be Back
He may not be getting much sleep these days, but Patrick Dempsey is having a ton of fun with fatherhood - and filming Season Four of Grey's Anatomy.
The actor tells Extra that his 6-month-old twin sons, Darby and Sullivan, "are developing beautifully ... It's a lot of fun."
It's a sentiment he echoes when asked about filming the latest installment of his hit TV show: "It's a lot lighter, people are having more fun."
"The energy and the adjustments make a big difference," he says.
Last year, on-set turmoil that finally led to the departure of Isaiah Washington cast a pall over much of the season.
Regardless of how people feel about that incident, fans will surely echo Dempsey's sentiment about moving on and getting back to business.
Definitely pumped to be back at Seattle Grace, Patrick declared to Extra, "I'm just excited to go save some lives again!"
Patrick Dempsey, 41, who races cars on the Hyper Sport racing team, plans to have the twins (and daughter Talula, 5) driving "soon enough."
"You can get those little go carts," he says, smiling, but adds that there'll be "no pressure" for them to race like dad.

We need more fun. I hope this means Derek and Meredith are back were they need to be. That was one of his complaints from last season.

oh know....those promos make you wonder alittle about Mer/Der. Maybe when Derek says you're not ready for this and it shows Meredith justing standing there...she will speak up and say YES I AM! Surely, Shonda is not messing with ours heads where Mer/Der are concerned! Lets hope not. Has everyone seen the Extra clip with Lexie being interviewed? OMGosh.....they ask her about hooking up with McDreamy and she says maybe she will and maybe she won't......and she is actually hoping she will because she kinda has a crush on Patrick ALREADY! Not too happy about that Miss Lexie...check it out on you tube......

Oh yeah! I am so glad Patrick is happy to be back at work on GA for the 4th season. It sounds as if things are going well on the set and they are having FUN again! Sounds like we have a great season ahead for us!

Oh My God! The new promo is a little bit dissapointing... What about the promo where they kiss? Seemed to be in the exact same scene where Derek tells her she's not ready...Maybe they DO kiss and make up after all!:D:D:D

By the way, in the last vid, there's also an interview with McSteamy, and Ellen (Degeneres) asks him to take of his shirt :p

After seeing the promos….I think that when Derek says to Meredith that…."you're not ready for this" (meaning their relationship), I think she will surprise him and say that she is. I think that is when he kisses her because the room in both shots look the same! The promo with Mcsteamy and Derek most happen near the beginning of the episode and the scenes with Mer/Der are after that! Thats my thoughts…I'm still thinking positive about Mer/Der and I think Shonda knows thats what all of us fans want is Mer/Der back together! And we already know that is what Patrick and Ellen hope too. In the few interviews that Patrick has done since they have started back filming for season 4, he acts happy about the season thus far and comments how much fun everyone is having……so I think that means everything is good on the Mer/Der front on GA.
There are even newer clips on abctv.com (on the greys Anatomy site) when Izzie, Cristina, Alex and Meredith are doing the very same things to the new interns as Bailey did with them on their first day! ITs so funny.
And the link below are some new pics of stills from the first episode and one great pic of Patrick Dempsey (by himself in a blue shirt and white pants) which I have to say makes a GREAT background on your computer! (ha)

Hey hey check this vid!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Ef5B9LCqrkIs
Patrick wearing the orange bracelet on his right arm???
(Remember his visit to Addison Sewell in the hospital, where he promised to wear a 'stay strong' bracelet in the second episode of season 4!!)
It would be sooo nice if he would not forgotten it during the filming of the scenes!!
