Lauren Stamile Excited For Grey's Anatomy Story Line
Newcomer Lauren Stamile, who joined Grey's Anatomy on November 15 as feisty nurse Rose, will stick around for at least four more episodes to play Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd's new love interest, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Lauren Stamile was cast in September and, as expected, was over the moon about the possibility of acting with Patrick Dempsey, albeit slightly shocked.
Lauren Stamile is excited - and nervous - about her role on Grey's.
"It was like, are you kidding me? I'm kind of geeky. I hope people aren't disappointed," said Stamile, 31, a native of Oklahoma and graduate of Northwestern.
It's unclear when Lauren Stamile's fourth episode will air; it's also the last remaining original episode of Grey's Anatomy that ABC had in production before creator Shonda Rhimes and her team of writers joined the picket line November 4.

Arg! make her go away.

I can see why she is excited , who wouldnt be if they are dempsey's love interest and all. Well goodluck to Lauren, but that doesnt mean i like Rose character.

I'm waiting for the moment she'll go away!

it seems that grey's becomes more like "The Bold and the Beautiful" it's getting boring and inconsistent!! just don't understand the writers... if you compare the first two seasons with the end of the 3. ... these storylilnes are just needless

She should have been cast as his sister not a love interest for Derek. I'm a MerDer supporter to the end.

Go away! stupid rose, meredith tells derek she doesnt want him to date anybody else than her... derek better quit foolin around with stupid rose and stick with meredith! JUST GO AWAY! shes only here for 4 episodes...so thats good sign that derek and meredith will be together! but ill be very angry if they have derek making a 'hard' decision by having to choose mer or rose! hes all ready had to do that, and meredith has done that too. please just let them be happy, it'll make be happy, too!

All I want is for her to leave! I hate rose!
December 5th, 2007 7:24 PM

Lauren seems great, it's Rose that I don't like. They say she will be here for at LEAST 4 epis, but that could mean she's here for more (though I'm reaaaaaally hoping she isn't). I agree with MerDerAddicted, she should've been cast as Derek's sister. She totally would've been believable!

It's totally not Lauren Stamile, but Rose at best is a very poorly written character. Every scene she has been in thus far has been a cheese factor plot device. Grey's has too many cast members as is and the thought that in true Shonda fashion this character "could" at some point become a regular is frightening to me in terms of how the writing continues to go this season. Just watched a sneak peak of the Rose and Derek characters for part two of Crash Into Me and all I can say is it is such a forced and poorly written scene (wait until you see it, you'll understand) that I actually felt sorry for the actress and Dempsey for having to act in it. I am sure this is a gig of a lifetime for Stamile and who wouldn't want it? But the writers have sadly dropped the ball with the Rose character. No chemistry with Dempsey and the plot line is beyond bad. Hopefully what is great about the Derek character is not ruined by this ill conceived idea of yet another triangle. Grey's writers/creators: WAKE UP!! Adding more characters that are unneeded cannot cover the poor writing. Fix that and you won't have a need for going back to a triangle you've hit more than once on this show. Grey's deserves better and so do the fans who love the show. Sorry, but Rose has to go.

i kind of like lauren stamile...and i like it that she will give the merder relationship a challenge! i guess her true purpose is to make merder stronger...what if she'll end up with mcsteamy instead? i think that will be great!

Rose was signed for 7 epis not 4.
Claire,
you are so right, the rose character is poorly written and forced. Plus there is no chemistry what so ever btw those two. The fact that derek will even kiss her is just insulting on so many different levels. There are a thousands ways to repair a r/ship without necessarily introducing another love interest for derek.
Shonda is just loosing it big time. I mean doesnt she have any advisers or something?

The writers can try and team Derek with anyone else they want, but his heart will always belong with Meredith. He will always compare any gal he dates to her. She is his true love. Period.

OMG, I watched tonight in horror as Derrick kissed Rose. I can not believe that after all the ground work Meredith has done, that Derrick would stoop to such levels & kiss Rose. PLEASE make her go away. I Love Grey's Anatomy and I am a HUGE fan of the Mer/Der set up. However, I will quit watching if they make Derrick cheat or leave Meredith, that girl needs love and stability...PERIOD... She can't have him leave her, it would destroy her an RUIN the show. Save this season and stop making our favorite characters do STUPID things....... Thank You, A VERY Loyal Fan,.... at least until Derrick cheats on Meredith

Go away you melter I live for the MerDer thing. Rose go AWAY. We want Mc Dark and Twisty and Mc Dreamy to be in a Mc Relationship. That has to be the way =]

It's about time there was a FEMALE McHottie! And what a hottie she is. I am hoping that she becomes a permanent cast member. Rose has filled the void that existed when Addison left.

ROSE SUCKS I HATE HER!!!!!!!! MERDER broke up becuz of her!!!!!!!!!!
January 23rd, 2008 3:32 AM
if derek really loved meredith, he would never even tried to kiss that stupid rose. gross
