Round Table: "Haunt You Every Day"
While fans gather in our forum to discuss each character and plot line, the Grey's Anatomy Insider staff comes together to talk about their favorite moments and share their opinions regarding the most recent episode of TV's top drama.
Round Table topics for "Haunt You Every Day" range from the arrival of Dr. Erica Hahn to Alex and Ava, Bailey's personal life and new hospital club ideas ...
1. Dr. Hahn: Welcome addition, or Unwanted bitch?
McCritic: A welcome addition. Especially considering the rumors that Dr. Hahn is a lesbian. Talk about sticking it to Isaiah Washington where it counts!
iheartizzie: Dr. Hahn's previous guest appearances were very solid, and I think the actress (Brooke Smith) does a great job. The only regrettable thing is Burke being gone - these college classmates had a great love-hate rapport, a begrudging mutual respect. It will be interesting to see Cristina work with Dr. Hahn.
AndYouveGotTheHair: Welcome. Looks like with Dr. Hahn and Lexie (Chyler Leigh) we're back up to an even dozen full-time cast members. That's a lot to find good stories and screen time for, but I do like Dr. Hahn and think she'll fit in well.
2. We now have Nurses United Against Mark Sloan. What other types of clubs could be formed to rally against (or for) other characters on the show?
iheartizzie: The I Got Syph From Olivia Club. Although word has it this club's server has already crashed twice from so many people logging on at once.
McCritic: Loyal and Dedicated Husbands Against George O'Malley.
AndYouveGotTheHair: Men and Women United in Awe of McDreamy's Hair.
3. For the first time in awhile, we got a glimpse into the personal life of Dr. Miranda Bailey. Do you want to see more of this?
AndYouveGotTheHair: I've been talking about the need for more Bailey on the show for weeks, and this insight into her personal life was an unexpected wrinkle. I'm glad the writers did it, because she's too good not to have more depth.
McCritic: Yes. It makes sense we rarely see the Miranda behind the Dr. Bailey. But this character has the biggest heart on the show. It's intriguing to see how she balances such generosity between her life-saving professional requirements and the demands of a loving husband and adorable newborn at home.
iheartizzie: Dr. Bailey is awesome. She's the go-to resident, regardless of Callie's title. But given her commitment to Seattle Grace, and the lack of attention her home life receives, I've wondered if she is headed down the same road as Richard on a personal level. This week was the first time this has been explored.
4. Diagnose the chemistry between Alex and Ava.
McCritic: Hot and heavy, with a chance for perpetual bliss if treated with proper care.
iheartizzie: Latent, but palpable. If Ava gives Alex the proper medication (a kick in the rear end), hopefully his symptoms of trepidation will be cured!
AndYouveGotTheHair: Breaking out! Someone give this girl 50 CCs of Karev, STAT! Body temperatures will be rising in the on-call room next week!

The show isnt as good as it was with Burke and Addison. Period. The writing has been just as bad... "ashes to ashes? I dug up a dead cat? Flushed a goldfish?" Please. Spare me.
Glad they listened to 90% of the fans who hated George and Izzie together... another stellar move.
October 26th, 2007 2:02 PM
oh my gah...... the whole alex and ava thing made my whole week...... i was giggly through half the episode.... and that hasn't happened in a while. haha I don't know why, but Dr Hahn annoys the crap out of me....but not more than Lexie did the first couple of episodes.... so she may grow on me. haha And I
m definitely glad that they focused on Bailey... she's needs some more background for sure. she deserves it..... GO GEORGE AND IZZIE! I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of Gizzie at first, but their chemistry is undeniable.
PS. Derek CANNOT be allowed to date.... ugh!
October 27th, 2007 2:23 AM
90% of the fans hate Gizzie, LOL, is that why they are winning all the polls. The only place they scored that percentage was the ABC panel which was spammed by TWOP haters. They did another panel recently and this time the Gizzie fans were informed 9none knew about it the first time around) and more than 50 of people loved them this time around. I did two chats and the majority of people were pro-Gizzie there and saying they were what they loevd most on the show.
They have 251 fans on Fanforum, second behind MerDer, and 468 on Livejournal, the biggest Grey couple community
And if you look at the poll on this site, more than 50% of people want them together
So before saying stupid things, check your facts.
veyone I know offline is crazy about those two, so yes I would say Shonda made a great move!
The one couple everyone is talking about, and people evenly divided on both sides, a dream come true for a writer
October 27th, 2007 2:24 AM
I LOVE george and Izzie, they are why I watch!
October 27th, 2007 2:24 AM
Ok, this episode made me fall in love with Gizzie too, the scene at the end with them gave me goosebumps. So count me in as another converted fan.
October 27th, 2007 3:41 AM
okie...this episode was great!! loved the whole halloween and haunting idea. it amazes me how well writers can come out with such interesting stuff! :) GREYS as always is good watching...kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. anyways, firstly To clear things up...majority of greys fans or watchers love Gizzie! C'mon probably only 20% dislike them being together, other than tht, We LOVE them! how can u say they aren't meant to be a couple?! and yess...they are winning all the polls f.y.i!
As for alex and ava...their chemistry was hot! and i'm glad tht alex is put in a happier relationship for once, and now maybe he won't be so mean and egoistic anymore! :P wanna see more of them.
Bailey has so much more dept in this episode, with her family issues. and how nothing is black and white! tht George isn't a bad guy!! *thank you for tht* :) he isn't...he is the total opposite, such a sweet heart and incredibly adorable. When he gave his speech about saving his father...he would give his own Heart! i thought tht was just lovely and thoughtful! lexie was even crying due to his moving "speech".
Gizzie in this episode was a lil less than expected! i wanted more Gizzie-ness. but i was satisfied at the ending of the ep, when George sat next to Izzie and held her hand so tenderly. all smiling at each other...and saying, "We made it through today". it made me go Awwww...seriously. How can anybody deny tht chemistry and Love?! i'm so PRO- gIZZIE!
talk about cuteness when mer asked them questions in the cafeteria...those two nvr go wrong.
Can't wait for the next ep..watched the trailer and Izzie and George are gonna have HOT sex! :D at least they showed her saying tht. but finally they are not so tormented and having a romantic relationship!! :) they deserve it.
Do you guys think they will finally, as izzie put it.."Be together"??

I hate Gizzie! I'm tired of this crappy couple. VOMIT!
October 27th, 2007 1:58 PM
Can the Gizzie haters come up with anything better than the sibling and vomit crap, makes them looks like they are 5, seriously.
I LOVE them, I think they are the best darn couple on TV right now.
October 27th, 2007 4:23 PM
Heading Downhill,
fyi, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" is an adaptation from the bible in genesis 3:19 "for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return"
so get your sources before bashing them. please.
October 27th, 2007 5:41 PM
I'm not a fan of Gizzie but i swear i won't say "vomit" or talk about them being brother and sister... It has to do with personal experience.. and i don't much care for people cheating on their spouses! I mean fine for them but Callie is one of my favorite characters.. I'll be happier once they get her with someone who deserves her.
October 27th, 2007 6:31 PM
All of us Mer/Der fans better buckle up for a ride with Mer and Der because from the link below it says that Derek will go out on a date with a fellow doctor. So it seems that it will be happening sooner than I thought but maybe that means the sooner it will be OVER! and Mer and Der will be back together where they belong! As bad as it seems, I just hope that whomever he dates that it will not be anything BUT A DATE and I do think the anticipation of Mer and Der reuniting will be exciting and magical! Can't wait! So Shonda bring it on! We are ready! (ha)

i know i'm in the minority now but i just have to vent: I HATE GEORGE & IZZIE together. I super loved them as friends, but now they're so blah.
*sigh*
October 28th, 2007 2:22 AM
I'm not a Gizzie fans and I hope Shonda will kill them soon. I know some FF posters and, many of them (who added their name on their list), they like only their friendship.
October 28th, 2007 7:51 AM
This is a cmnt bck 2 kathy bout mer/der!!!! Ur ttly right, if he does go out w/ someone else, it should ttly b jst a date + nothing else. Shonda can't keep them seperated 4-eva!!! I mean look at the finale of season 2, they just can't keep their hands off of each other!!!
October 28th, 2007 10:36 AM
Dont' read next lines, might be a *spoiler*
Yeah well I read somewhere that Der is going to have a date with a doctor, and that McSteamy falls in love with a fellow doctor..
October 28th, 2007 12:02 PM
omg...how can anybody hate GIZZIE?! i really dun understand tht. pls don't say tht you just want them killed off...as in their r/s. It is the only reason i watch Greys religiously! :D love both of them together. bleh...to those who hate them.
October 28th, 2007 1:04 PM
don't read if u don't want a *spoiler*...
OMG!!!! i'm so freaked out!!! who do u guys think der is goin 2 go out with + who is McSteamy fallin for!!! oh + 1 other thing, what is up w/ ava leavin she is coming back, right?!?!?

For the first time in awhile, we got a glimpse into the personal life of Dr. Miranda Bailey. Do you want to see more of this?
Chadra Wilson has always been great at Dr. Miranda Bailey, but her character arc and acting for the last several episodes, I believe, are award-winning. I am so excited to see more of her this season and I'm looking forward to discovering different facets of the character and her story as the season goes on. We just need to keep reminding the writers that we want and need to hear more from Dr. Bailey.
October 28th, 2007 7:26 PM
I have no problem with differing opinions and I am glad people have them, but as for why I said shes to ashes was ashes was dumb was because of its context in the show. It was said by a non-religious man, and to me it came across as corny. Meredith even said her mother never believed in anything.
As for George and Izzie, maybe I was wrong. I guess there isn't enough adultery already in the show.
October 29th, 2007 11:29 AM
Hmm, I post on fanforum religiously, the Beautiful geek love thread for George and Izzie and ALL the people there want them as a couple, noone want them just as friends, we all love them as a couple, it is a couple thread not a friendship one. The George and Lexie thread is a friendship or couple one, but not the George and Izzie one and it is the most active thread on the site.
We are all dreaming of their next kiss.
Check it out:
http://www.fanforum.com/f210/bgl-georgea-izzie-59-bc-they-sexy-love-they-made-through-day-62817477/
Just the title they are sexy love shows we love them as a couple
And same thing with the George and Izzie Livejournal community and its 472 fans, we all want them as a couple and not just friends
As for the adultery please, Alex just did the same thing with Ava and I don't see anyone complaining, gve me a break!

1) DR.Hahn: DEFINITELY WELCOME. At least, in my book she is. She makes for an AMAZING addition to the cast, and Christina hates the fact that she's here. Not that I don't like Christina or anything, I just think that there's some chemistry there, between the two, to make for an interesting season. The Tension couldn't get any worse, could it? (It can get MUCH worse.)
2) Gotta say, I giggled or at least smirked/grinned/smiled when I heard that line. It was funny, truthfully. I think there should be... hum. "Doctor-Nazi's united". I'd like to see that.
3) Gracious, yes! I really hope it doesn't turn out like Dr.Webber... reason being, Miranda keeps her self together most of the time. I've grown to adore and love Miranda Bailey, and she's an amazing consultant as well. Confide in her your problems, she'll listen - if she has the time, of course.
4) Love. :) I love it. It's so cutesy-like. I still prefer the Alex + Izzy couple more, and we know that Alex is going to be there for Izzie when she definitely needs it (we've seen it previously, come now - do you really think he'll ever get over her?), but... Ava's around. And I think Alex and Ava just need to talk. They need to talk. They need to talk. Alex has a thing for Ava, and Ava has a thing for Alex - I'm wondering if it's just a "thing", or if it's more though.
Like a baby and his mothers scent. . . Alex holding Ava's clothes up to his head and taking a whiff was cute.
October 29th, 2007 2:24 PM
Oh, and I hadn't mentioned a thing about O'Mizzie. (I prefer that title.) O'Mizzie is... I know it's not a one time thing, but it's not my preferable choice for the moment. I suppose deep down in my heart, I want it to work, but Callie and George got MARRIED. "Till Death Do Us Part", does that not mean anything? Callie's holding on for a certain reason, and hopefully this'll be explained sometime during the next few episodes or sometime this season, at least. But, like Izzy says... "It just feels right". So, you know, hopefully something good will come out of it, and we'll learn to like this couple as we learned to like Addison.
October 29th, 2007 6:08 PM
Oh Gosh, I just read the spoilers that Vio listed as a link above. I feel like I just read the whole script from the Thursday episode. I wonder if it is for real? I know some of the things I read, seems like I've heard it or read before that it was going to happen. So, it may be right for Thursday nights episode. It was kinda excitng to know alittle of what is going to happen. Naturally, I love the Mer/Der part but I do believe like I've said before that we better buckle ourselves in for a bumpy ride for a few episodes before all the good stuff happens with Mer/Der. I can't wait..... but in the mean time my nerves will be shot! (ha)!
