Dominic Monaghan to Join Cast of ABC Series ... Grey's?
Dominic Monaghan is appearing in ABC's new promo campaign, but according to EW, it has nothing whatsoever to do with Charlie Pace being resurrected on Lost.
But that's what the network wants folks to think.
Why? Because they're trying to keep under wraps the real reason he was playing table soccer with Patrick Dempsey, Courteney Cox, and Ed O'Neill in that clip.
Monaghan is featured in that spot because rather than coming back to Lost, where he starred for three seasons, he's actually joining the cast of another hour-long ABC drama series as a full-time regular. And ABC wants it to be a surprise.
A big surprise.
Our question: Why on earth wouldn't ABC want people to know which of its shows' casts would be augmented by Dominic Monaghan, a popular actor from Lost, and also the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the summer blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
- Could it be because the show Monaghan is joining is none other than Grey's Anatomy, and making the announcement could spoil the show's summer cliffhanger?
- Could Monaghan be taking over the role of George O'Malley from T.R. Knight, or playing a new character altogether that ABC nonetheless wants to keep secret?
We have no evidence to suggest this is actually happening other than what you just read above. It's just a rumor, and we are just throwing that out there. Thoughts?

I love Dominic Monaghan. I've been a fan of Greys since the pilot and the same for Lost. I have NEVER MISSED an episode of Lost. I for one am thrilled he's coming to Greys. Another great choice!!
This summer break seems just too long this go around. Will be happy when Sept gets here!!!

He better not be the next George O'Malley. I won't believe till I see it. I'm actually getting SO SICK of the suggestion of it. This is going to be a VERY LONG summer.
TR Knight is the ONLY George O'Malley I EVER want to see!

He better not come on to the show. Some stupid Brit. I met T.R. Knight and he is the coolest guy ever. Noone could replace him. Hes not going anywhere.

No one could replace T.R Knight. And no one could play George O'Malley better than T.R Knight. He's the only George O'Malley.

I'm fine with Dom joining the cast of Grey's - as long as he doesn't take over the role of George. That would just be stupid

nonononono! ignoring the fact that the whole "new George" thing is a stupid idea and most viewers will leave, T.R. and Dom have a totally different skin tone, something that would not change even though George had a bunch of surgery done.
I don't mind Dom coming as a new character though, I like him :)

that makes sense. i mean they have a similar bone structure

I think it would be cool if he were to join Grey's but as a new character. I don't like this talk of some other actor playing George as his face is so messed up. It's just too much and would lower the credibility of the show if not properly thought through. But anything is possible with Shonda Rhimes!
