As we're sure you're aware by now, Seattle Grace and Mercy West are merging, and that means a new crop of doctors aiming to put our favorite Grey’s Anatomy characters out of work.
October 15 is the day the staffs merge, fittingly in a tense episode titled "Invasion." Word is that specifically, Izzie Stevens and Lexie Grey find their heads are on the chopping block.
“We’re not the most welcome faces at Seattle Grace,” says newcomer Robert Baker.
But off set, the new blood has welcomed with open arms, especially by Justin Chambers (Alex Karev), who recently took them all out to lunch!
Here's some scoop on what we can expect from the newcomers ...
Izzie and a pair of Seattle Grace's new residents.
- Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) “He’s a very confident, competitive, fearless leader and a bit of a cocky, hotshot surgeon,” says Jesse. “He’s cracking jokes left and right and going in there and taking no prisoners. So far, I’ve had a spat with Cristina and shared scenes with Owen, Lexie and Derek.”
- Dr. Reed Adamson (Nora Zehetner) “She’s very feisty and comes on a bit strong at first,” says Nora, a longtime friend of Chyler Leigh (Lexie). “But she’s a good doctor who cares a lot about the patients, especially with the merger getting in the way of that. Everyone is in competition and worried about getting fired, so there’s a lot of fighting with Izzie, Alex and Cristina for the best surgeries.” As for romance with Alex, Nora says only “Perhaps.”
- Dr. Charles Percy (Robert Baker) “He’s a general surgeon who has a problem keeping his mouth shut,” says Robert, who has shot scenes with Bailey, Alex and Derek. “In my first episode, some complications arise between Charles and Izzie, causing head-butting. Then some things happen that the fans will definitely want to see.” Could these characters share more than scalpels? “Izzie’s a married woman, but never say never.”
- Dr. April Kepner (Sarah Drew) “April’s eager, a little insecure, passive-aggressive and tries to undermine Lexie,” says Sarah, who has “really enjoyed playing a bitch.” But April also has a sensitive side. “You’ll see her writing some surprising things in her journal.”

im so annoyed by this. so far on the poll, 95% of us don't want a bigger cast...i wish the writers would understand!!
i feel that the bigger cast will add lots of things to talk about but why cant they focus on deeper stories for cast members we already have but dont have a lot of background info on?
For example, we could explore Alex a bit more, or learn more about Arizona. We could look at Callie's relationship with Arizona and give them airtime, or find out more about Mark's past..?
I feel that would strengthen our already large and wonderful cast and have audiences more invested in their characters. We need to dig deeper, people!

As long as they don't become series regulars then I don't mind. Guest stars and recurring characters are fine.

Bring them in but make them leave in a few episodes! And explore older characters more!

These new characters are already in the mix, I hope they are only on the equivilent appearances level that the interns were on the last 2 seasons. If they all become mainline cast members the way they introduced Callie continuing through to Arizona, I will feel like we have been saturated with too many new characters. Looks like we are going to have as many characters as Hill St Blues, remember that ensemble cast?

Why are they already hinting at us that Alex and Izzie may stray from their marriage. I'm guessing that Iz will want to be attractive to a man, and Alex will seek refuge in another woman? Euck!

Ohh God!!
I have a feeling that these new doctors will damage some of the current couples on the show such as Izzie and Alex like it is hinted. Seriosly:( They should focus on the main characters not adding new people!!

What the crap they already cast people to start relationships with Married Alex and Izzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear we wait year after year for them to get together and stay together and then the writers do this to us.....I'm really not liking what they are doing. I have been a avid Grey's watcher but I'm not interesting in any other people coming in and messing up the couple I want to see be true to their marriage does everyone think people always stray in marriages. Please keep one healthy relationship, I do believe people can be together and stay happy, not everyone cheats!!!!!

wtf!? why can't we learn more about the other couples? now we are never going to see growth in other couples and people! we barely see it now. :(

i feel like if they keep screwing up the relationships like this and make it so flaky with a zillion characters that greys will turn into a cheesy soap opera...
we want good quality storylines for our already large cast and to keep em all together!! jeez!
