Dying for Grey's Anatomy spoilers as the week gets underway? You're in luck. Michael Ausiello of EW has just devoted an entire Q&A session to the show!
Below, he discusses Izzie's health, Owen and Cristina, Derek's proposal (or non-proposal), and whether we'll actually see George O'Malley this week ...
Q: How and when is Izzie's "condition" on Grey's Anatomy going to be revealed?
A: Officially, the dead-guy-sexing resident won't be diagnosed for a few more weeks. Unofficially, however, we will get our first clue into what's ailing her at the end of Thursday's episode. There's another twist, yes, but luckily, it's one only an idiot wouldn't see coming. Here's a hint just for those special folks: Izzie isn't anemic.
Q: Is Dr. Bailey going to take over as the head cardio surgeon?
A: While I can't confirm that, I can confirm that she receives some potentially career-altering news.
Q: Do you have any Grey's Anatomy scoop?
A: Thursday's episode, "Beat Your Heart Out," features one of the funniest, all-female group hugs in the show's history. Also, there's a bawdy cafeteria scene that is so quintessentially Grey's Anatomy that it reminded me how much I miss the good, ol' days of the show. Oh, and did I mention the girl-on-girl action? 'Cause there is some!
Q: Anything new on Cristina and Owen?
A: Lots of cheesy, slow-mo, piano-scored interludes will give way to an emotional collapse that is either extremely moving or ridiculously over the top. I haven't made up my mind yet.
Q: Can you help a girl out and give us anything on Cristina and Hunt?
A: This may or may not shed light on the above Grey's Anatomy spoilers, but this week marks the arrival of Laura Allen (Dirt) as a woman from Owen's past.
Q: My wife made me watch all five seasons of Grey's Anatomy, and I have to say I enjoyed every bit of it. My question is: Do you have an update on T.R. Knight? Is he leaving?
A: Nothing official's been decided, but I suspect Thursday's episode may have been the straw that broke the underused actor's back: George is literally on screen for about 10 seconds.
Q: Any Mer-Der news you can share?
A: By the end of this week's episode, I'm pretty sure everyone at Seattle Grace Hospital (patients included) will have seen the ring ... except poor Meredith.

And again I'm expected a shitty storyline for Cristina and Owen. I also just heard that Cristina will botch a standard surgery in 5.16. So tiering...
February 2nd, 2009 3:02 PM
im so excited..about the proposal..
February 2nd, 2009 3:13 PM
This may sound really dumb, but what is so important about Izzie not being anemic?
February 2nd, 2009 3:24 PM
I think it means she's preggers
February 2nd, 2009 3:26 PM
That'd be funny if Izzie were pregnant with Denny's kid :P
Oh, but of course there's only 10 seconds of George...that's nothing new.
February 2nd, 2009 4:07 PM
eeeeeekkk!!!!!!!! omg i'm so excited!!! disappointed about George, but still excited!!!
February 2nd, 2009 4:38 PM
hah that would be hilariuois if it was denny's kid. i saw some spoiler pics and addison and alex were kinda close? idk if izzie would be too happy about that now that she "broke up with denny"
about the cafeteria scene...who's in it? i HOPE CALLIE! love her! :)

I can't wait! 3 more days!
Mer will catch wind of the engagement because no one in that hospital can keep a secret to save their lives. It'll give Mer a reason for a freak out...she hasn't had one in a while...and a reason for McDreamy to pull out his full-on McDreamyness. :o)
Ok, I love Callie, but enough with the girl on girl action! ick!

man! just give george some more screen time, I miss him, and even though I adore Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the ghost-shagging stuff was a little too much in my opinion, and, yet, I have confidence in everything falling in place.
