She always steals the show. Now she'll be directing it as well!
Chandra Wilson, a perennial Emmy nominee as Dr. Miranda Bailey, will be directing an episode of Grey's Anatomy this season, sources confirm. No word yet on when this will take place, what the episode will be about and if she'll also appear on it, but that's great news!
There are also rumors, E! reports, that another actor was (or is) negotiating to direct an episode of Grey's Anatomy this season, as well as make a couple of other tweaks to his/her contract to allow him/her more creative and personal freedom in the upcoming year.
Who could that be?

I think the actor asking to direct/do other things will be Patrick Dempsey. He has the clout as the lead actor and I keep getting the feeling that he wants to do more than just be Der.We'll see.

"Personal Freedom" what this means? less screen time in S6? God i hope isn´t Patrick Dempesey.

Good for her. I always liked her. Perhaps she could do something decent with the writing on that show.

i think this is a mistake, kind of like letting your boy/girlfriend sing in your band...

Good for Chandra.
My money's on Katherine Heigl. She always wants time for "freedom." I sill wish it had been her instead of T.R./George.

Note that it also mention: creative & personal freedom. I think that this may mean more power on their character.
Personally, I hope it is PD. He seems the most adequate to do it (if it was for me, I'd let him write the show. Maybe MerDer would be having the third kid by now).
Unfortunately this screams KH. She really needs to take over this show, doesn't she? :(
