I am Thrilled with the news! As a huge Mer/Der fan I have been waiting to hear something like this and to hear it directly from Shonda makes it feel as if It Will Happen. Like PD said, he hoped that this time off since the strike would give the writers and Shonda time to really step back and take a good look at where the show was going. So, evidently that is what Shonda has done and I'm sure it helped by talking to PD! We all know he is a Mer/Der fan and has wanted them to be together since the beginning! He even has said he would like to see them married! There is so many ways they can continue to tell the love story between these two and PD and EP know how much the fans love this couple. Everybody also knows that it is extremely rare that you find a couple like PD/EP that have the chemistry that these two share. The fans have invested so much into this couple and have grown to care and love them since the very beginning and we the fans have become very passionate about them as well. The thoughts of having them apart after all the fans have been through with these two and knowing that they truly love each other, I could not imagine SHonda breaking them up and leaving us hanging. I am so thrilled that is NOT going to happen! So, it is a huge relief to finally hear that Mer/Der will make it after all! (Yey)!!!!!
Yes, this is exciting news - but realize that Shonda's gotta get through Seasons 5, 6 AND 7. Do you really think that she's gonna give us the candy that early?
All I'm sayin' is - let's look at this happening long term, not in the short term. Season 5 might be character-builiding and healing the dark and twisty and so forth... Wont be until end of season 6 and into season 7 that the clouds will clear in Seattle. And that never happens until July/August :)

Hey guys, although I am not a big MerDer fans, I must say I am really happy for all of you, I know how much heartache you have been through.
Now i hope Shonda gives me hope for my Gizzie because I love them just as much as you MerDer fans love your couple.

Aww my poor TR. I am happy about MerDer but to be honeest, I care way more about Gizzie, and it looks like Shonda is not talking about them again, but then she is good at ignoring the Gizzie fans.
Shonda, hear this : WE WANT GIZZIE TOGETHER OR WE ARE GONE FOR GOOD

That was such a nice post Claudia. I'm a fan of Mer/Der and am so thrilled by the news and I wish the same for G/I. I think the show runs smoother with couples in lasting stable relationships. There's enough drama, love and and all the rest in a stable relationship to last a lifetime..so I wish the same for what you want as well:)

I hope it's true (about Mer and Der getting back together). But the Shonda has fooled the fans before, and I wouldn't put it past her to say this just to get people watching again, especially after that sucky kiss between Derek and plant. I'll keep reading the messageboards and avoid watching the show until I hear for sure they are back together.

I am happy for the MerDer fans, but I don,t trust Shonda one bit. She promised us Gizzie fans amazing places and look what she gave us? I will never forgive ehr for that. But I hope she is being honest with you guys, most MerDer fans are really nice.
Now I want Gizzie together, it is gotten to the point where I cannot imagine Gizzie not together and will quit if that does not happen.

fantabulous news! i am so excited! D but rose back for all 5 freaking episodes? ARGH, not good news. Well maybe meredith and derek will get back together in the season finale or somethin. im just happy that they will EVENTUALLY get back together. =]
Can I just say: Thank. Freakin'. God. It's about time. Seriously. I'm done with this on-off crap. Now it's time to settle down and get a move on. Best news I've heard all year! Perfect for each other from the start, and will remain perfect 'til the end. =D <333333333333333333333333333333333

If I am Meredith and Shonda is a character in the show, I will not trust her at all. She's just like Derek, full of bull and not to be trusted!
What's the point of LS back for 5 epis as PD's potential love interest? Isn't this contradictory to what Shonda just said? As long as her character is in the show, I won't be watching. There's really no point.
WOW! I am so excited! Now April 24th seems so far away! 5 episodes of Rose-I guess we can survive knowing the eventual payoff! Maybe they won't kiss very often! GAG! I hope MER does get to have fun with the girls & George while she has to endure Rose with her man.
Hey- Where do you think George will live?
Didn't Alex move into his room?
OH, was he going to move in with Lexie?
Gizzie fans won't like that!
