Kristin Veitch of E! Online reports that nurse Rose (Lauren Stamile) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) are definitely heading in a romantic direction in upcoming episodes. Rumor has it that Rose/Lauren is sticking around until the last episode before the strike â" Episode 11 â" and she'll be an increasingly bigger part of the plot, as Derek even calls on Rose to help save a surgery.
For those of you rooting for Meredith and Derek, the good news is that this new "McThorny" romance with Lauren Stamile's character becomes a thorn in Mer's side â" she may just realize how very badly she wants a McDreamy ending. The bad news? According to sources, she might realize that a little too late.
Lauren Stamile: A guest star and thorn in the side of Meredith Grey.
In other guest star news, the Writers Guild of America strike is apparently going to nix Joshua Jackson's appearance on Grey's Anatomy. Producers are hoping they can figure out another slot for the former Dawson's Creek star after the strike is put to rest, but that's contingent on his schedule. Stay tuned.

Hmm... just one word UN-BE-LI-VA-BLE! it seems Shonda is really underestimating fans.

Big bummer about Joshua Jackson - I was really looking forward to him coming on board. And was hoping he'd sick around. I love him in everything he's done. Hopefully it works out for him still to guest star.
I guess I think Rose is going to be a thorn, but that's the way of TV. There has to be challanges. Super couples ALWAYS break up through the course of episodes and then ALWAYS get back together. Why throw a fit when in the end (maybe later then sooner), Mer and Der will be together.

if the couple mer/der broke up, I surely not continue to see that show !!!!!

Stamile seems a wh0re in that pic.

it's becoming annoying, the show must grow up and make the relation ship between Meredith and Derek work. The new love Rose make no sense !!! Now it will be a soap and i think many fans are going to stop watching GA..

You took the words right out of my mouth Nicole.
Although, I do wish they could have their troubles while they were still together, their chemistry between each other is too great to keep apart.

Derek and Meredith met on the first episode and belong together forever. Why fool with good chemistry and two good actors who obviously click together so well on screen? Stop trying to have Derek date other women! He's found his true love! Mark belongs with Callie too.

Unless Der just flirts w/the idea of "Thorny Rose" but goes nowhere w/it, I too will be saying goodbye to GA. I've had enough of the misery Shonda insists on heaping upon Mer. No one has that bad of a life all of the time. Get real.

I don't think we should get too worried here. Remember when Lexie was first introduced? We were all scared out of our minds that she was going to take Mer's place. But look what happened! She's fine...nowhere near Derek. Now I know that Rose is a different story...not a season regular or anything, but surely going to cause some problems. But I'm kepping hope. I believe that Mer/Der will work it out in the end. They will be together. I just hope it will won't take Meredith too long to figure that out.
