TV Guide Reveals Major Grey's Anatomy Spoiler
Presumably, New York Magazine wryly observes, a magazine about TV would be aware that one of the reasons people like TV is surprise - the twists and turns of their favorite shows.
While some love their Grey's Anatomy spoilers (for reasons unknown to us), most would like to remain at least somewhat in the dark.
It's a little surprising, then, that TV Guide decided to reveal a huge Grey's Anatomy spoiler on its new cover. Actually, that's too generous. They flat-out gave away a major development.
It'd be one thing to spoil it inside the magazine. This site won't show the full cover until after the jump. But to give away the plot on the cover â" the only part of TV Guide many people might see - seems a tad ridiculous. But what's done is done.
If you like, follow the jump to see the cover in question. We've even kept it out of our Grey's Anatomy photo gallery so as not to give it away to fans ...

Presenting Alex and Ava! Or is it Rebecca Pope? Whatever you call Elizabeth Reaser's character, you can't deny the chemistry she and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) had last season. Now, it appears she's back to "seal the deal!"
We knew Elizabeth Reaser had signed back on for more episodes of the show, but this spoiler goes a tad far. Nonetheless, we look forward to seeing the drama unfold when Rebecca / Ava / Jane Doe returns to Seattle Grace.
Thoughts?

its wasn't that big of a spoiler....not as shocking
October 18th, 2007 12:12 PM
I agree, it wasn't that big of a spoiler, I already knew she was coming back.
October 18th, 2007 12:20 PM
Yay! Glad to see that Alex gets his Ava/Rebecca/Jane Doe back. I heard she was back, so i sort of figured. The people on the cover looked like alex and someone, so I figured it was them. I am excited to see her back. ^_^
October 18th, 2007 12:30 PM
OMG! I got so freaked out! I thought that it was McDreamy and the new person! I'm happy that alex will be with rebecca again. even though she's annoying
October 18th, 2007 12:36 PM

October 18th, 2007 2:00 PM

October 18th, 2007 2:42 PM

October 18th, 2007 2:44 PM

Oh PULEEEZZEE...ABC/Shonda Rhimes and Touchstone knew this cover was being shot for TV Guide. They totally cleared it to be released. We are not stupid, so it's totally disturbing that you would act like this is news. If ABC does not want the "spoiler" out, then they will not have Justin and Elizabeth do a photoshoot for the cover. It's as simple as that. The actors are under contract and cannot go against the wishes of the producers and creators of the show.
This is SO NOT A STORY it's not even funny. C'mon now. Get real.
October 18th, 2007 2:48 PM
I thought Alex and the half-sister were suppose to hook up?!?
October 18th, 2007 2:54 PM
OMG YESSSSS at first i thought it was lexie then i was like umm no alex would not stoop to that level im soo glad she is back ava!!!!!
October 18th, 2007 3:42 PM
OMG!!!!! for a moment i thought that was derek with someone else....am glad that is ava, they made such a good couple and he is a better person when is with her :)
October 18th, 2007 3:46 PM
ALEX AND AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The moment I've been waiting for!
October 18th, 2007 3:47 PM
First off, the web site published stuff about "Ava" coming back during the summer. And second, how could you not want Alex and "Ava" to get back together. The first episode of this season said that Alex drove to see "Ava" but never did make contact with her. So, I think that it's awesome that they bring her back. He is actually human and has feelings when it comes to her. I wonder what they're going to do about the baby? I guess Alex will be a step-dad.
October 18th, 2007 4:29 PM
I agree...this isn't really that big of a deal....
October 18th, 2007 4:53 PM
YEAH!!!!! I HAD A FEELING HE WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO HER! THANK GOD LEXIE DOESN'T LIKE HIM ANYMORE! YAY!!!!!!!
October 18th, 2007 5:46 PM
Whew! For a minute I thought it was Alex and Lexie! I am kinda confused about the "sealing the deal" part?!! Should be interesting to watch!
October 18th, 2007 6:07 PM
Claire,
You are SOo right. This is just one of many marketing ploys to boost the ratings. This just confirms what I've said before about Shonda/ABC. They have NO REGARD FOR THE FANS. They really believe the fans are stupid. And that people will watch no matter how bad the writing is. This is not news. It was mentioned (4) months ago that Ava was coming back and that she was in talks with ABC to determine the # of episodes.
I have always wanted her back. She and Alex are perfect together. Just Love them. She is a woman of substance, which is what Alex needs right now.
October 18th, 2007 6:40 PM
YAY! I thought it was Lexi at first when it was blurred out...I was soooooo scared! I'm happy though. I think they go good together.
October 18th, 2007 6:48 PM
Well, that's nice. But I hope she hurts him, at least for a while. For all the crap Alex has done to George. Alex really should be kicked in pants for all that.
October 18th, 2007 7:25 PM
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
ALEX DESERVES TO ME HAPPY FOR ONCE
AND AVA IS SO FUNNY ON THE SHOW
DO YOU THINK THAT WHEN THEY SAY SEAL THE DEAL THEY MEAN THAT THEY WILL GET MARRIED?
October 18th, 2007 8:06 PM
I thought it was Addy and Alex/McSteamy. And I got all excited.
I knew Ava was coming back but ugh, I do not like this storyline at all.
