E! Online columnist Kristin Veitch dishes a little on the upcoming guest star that poses potential problems for Derek and Meredith. This doesn't reveal a whole lot, so no real spoilers here. Just more MerDer hesitation and conflict. Will it ever end? Or will this finally help lead TV's favorite couple to a better end?
Question: Any word on Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd? I'm so tired of the back and forth. Can they just get together or break up for good?
Answer: Now, what fun would that be?! Trust me, I feel your pain, but this is TV, and in the spirit of Sam & Diane / Ross & Rachel / Kristin & Stamos, things will get more complicated before they get any easier.
Sources confirm to me that Lauren Stamile is most definitely a new love interest for Derek (Patrick Dempsey), and she'll be sticking around for a while. I'm told she's pretty much the anti-Meredith (all the way around â" looks and personality) and will make Derek somewhat conflicted... at least in the short run.
What do you think? Are you losing faith in Mer and Der? Or is this just what the doctor ordered to help them get their respective acts together?

Truthfully, i am very tired and i cant be bothered anymore. I say Shonda can do what she wants, it her show after all. To be honest now i only watch grey's to see my fav stars and not becos of the storyline, i have never been so frustrated with a tv show in my entire life until grey's.

I'm still hoping that turns out to be his sister we went through the same thing about Nancy. Or Shonda has a secret agenda to get us to hate MerDer for some reason. On a more serious note has anyone heard anything about a writers strike that might put thie rest of this season on hold at some point?

I am getting upset and frustrated with Mer and Der and summarizing each episode for my daughter in law in Israel. Whenever we call them for a social visit, I must discuss the latest episode and Mer and Ders highjinks. I NEED STRENGTH !!!!!!!

I hope it's a sister, I sure would like to see them together. But the on again and off againe is getting a bit old. They should have wnt away together last week it would help the relationship if they got away from everyone

Well could you please let Shonda do whatever she wants to do? I think she knows better! It's stupid to say that we won't ever watch GA again if Derek sleeps with other woman or Mere with another man. I'm sure that the ending for these two will be happy but just for now it's obvious that their relationship is still quite dusfunctional and needs to be healed! So no matter how many times we will discuss again about Merder in the future, they will be together and sooo in love at the end!

To be honest, it is NO fun when they're always off and on, I just want them on all the time, it'd be much better if we just saw them as a happy couple who say, "I love you" when they leave for work, or they'er cute scenes like the beginning...ish of last season.
(Sigh) but I suppose if I was the writer, it'd be moer fun with them always in conflict...even though it frustrates me SOO much!!!

I agree with StephRo. I think it's really boring with the off and on Mer/Der. I have faith in Derek, but I think he'll get mad at Mer, get involved with Lauren Stamile, and then realize what a mistake he's making; leaving Meredith. Then he'll talk to her, and she'll change her mind about S & M only. At least that is what I hope happens. One only knows so much about Shonda's mind power.

Where did the "… at least in the short run" part come from?

As much as I hate to admit it and from what we are hearing....I think this new girl will be a new love interest for Derek. I really hate the thoughts of it! But, I'm trying to convince myself that this is what Meredith needs to see. We have to remember that this is TV and most people would not behave the way Derek and Meredith do to each other...most people would have been communicating more and they would be TOGETHER because they love each other!!! (I mean come on...who could have walked away from Patrick Dempsey after that speech he gave her last week??? and when most people would have jumped at that proposal he wouldn't have had to say the last line that broke everybodys hearts). And another thing, like Patrick Dempsey said in an interview one time....he would not do or say alot of the things his character has said or done like, he would have never gone back to his wife (like in season2) he would have stayed with Meredith after what Addison did to him.
Anyway my thoughts on what may happen in weeks to come......Mer and Der will continue as usual in the on call room and in the elevator. This new chick will come into the picture and naturally will like the looks of McDreamy. It will oviously look like Derek has no attachments to anyone (because remember Meredith wants it a secret that they are still seeing each other). This new chick will start flirting and become interested in Derek. He'll naturally like the attention and Meredith will begin to take notice. SHE WILL GET JEALOUS! Derek will probably not have the time for Mer's on call room visits as usual because of the female doc and then Meredith will realize she has to have a plan to get him back and make him realize that she is ready for the commitment! I believe that this is what Shonda is trying to do. Make Meredith grow up and realize she can have a relationship and cope with life too. The big climax will be getting Meredith and Derek back together and this time for good! I think they will marry and by bringing in the new female doctor is just part of the plan of the anticipation of the fans for Mer/Der to get back together! So think about it, if they pull Derek and Meredith apart for a while knowing they still love each other and us Mer/Der fans want them togther...it will drive us crazy until they are together! and when i happens...IT WILL BE GREAT!
ALso, If Shonda sticks to her words....Meredith and Derek belong together, she doesn't want to see them break up. There will never be anyone else for Derek but Meredith, they have a magnetic pull together! Meredith wants it as much as Derek does but she is scared to make the commitment! Meredith and Derek love each other and want the same things!
So, I have faith in Shonda that all of these things and more that she has said about Meredith and Derek will come to be soon! I hope it happens by Christmas..I would love to have a Christmas episode with Derek and Meredith together!
