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.

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.

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!

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!
