Grey's Anatomy News

The bad news: Kim Raver's Teddy Altman is definitely a complication for Grey's Anatomy's beloved twosome, Kevin McKidd's Owen Hunt and Sandra Oh's Cristina Yang.

The good news: McKidd and co-star Sandra Oh want to see their characters together as much if not more than many fans do, he said in an interview with E! this week.

"I want the best for him. I want him to be happy. I want him to be in love. I want him to be all these things and more, and so does Sandra [for her character Cristina]."

Of Sandra, Kevin said "I love her to bits. I think we both come from the same place as far as wanting the work to feel rooted and real and true. She's very protective over her character, understandably. As am I. One of the problems and the downsides of working on a long-term character is that you, the actor, become very protective over the character."

"We both know that for a TV show to work, and the characters can't be happy all the time. That's the whole point, so there's this weird thing going on, which is I think Sandra and I both right now are finding it hard because we're so kind of in love with the characters, and so kind of invested in Owen and Christina being together. Suddenly there's this potential for danger."

"I [think we are] quite anxious ourselves for our characters' happiness. I think again, that adds to the chemistry of it all."

And that chemistry will indeed be tested in the coming weeks.Continue Reading...

Below are some notes on Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice from TV Guide's spoiler Q&A today. Nothing really new or ground-breaking, but still interesting developments ...

Q: How long before Teddy destroys Cristina and Owen's relationship on Grey's Anatomy?

A: Kevin McKidd says that Thursday's episode will have a major development in that love triangle: "Something happens between the three of them that's pretty explosive," he says.

"Up until now you've not really seen anyone draw lines in the sand, but you start to see that this week." Translation: "Desert Storm Barbie" is not welcome in Yang's Dream House.

Q: Any scoop on Private Practice?

A: Addison's mom and dad (JoBeth Williams and Stephen Collins) are coming to visit Private Practice on December 3, and they're bringing a third ... the other woman!

We've been debating this week whether Izzie could be pregnant on Grey's Anatomy. We have our doubts, but according to EW's Michael Ausiello, there is another Izzie surprise in store for us soon. Meanwhile, Richard's stress apparently boils over tonight.

Here's what EW's spoiler Q&A reveals this morning ...

Q: Is Izzie really pregnant on Grey’s Anatomy?

A: I'll say this: ABC's promo gurus are very sneaky! While we’re on the subject of Katherine Heigl, sources confirm that she’s taking another leave of absence from Grey’s Anatomy this season - but this time her reasons are personal and not professional.

Heigl will be going on a belated maternity leave to spend some QT with new adopted daughter Naleigh. As a result, Izzie will be MIA for another string of episodes (most likely in early 2010).

What do you think prompts Izzie's second departure from SGH?

Q: Please tell me something will happen soon on Grey’s Anatomy that will make me stop hating the Chief! I used to love him but this season has been terrible!

A: Would the sight of him falling off the wagon do the trick? 'Cause that’s what happens at the end of this week’s episode, "New History."

What's next on the Calzona front? Or at least the Arizona front? Nothing big that we know of for now, but TV Guide has the latest today in its spoiler Q&A today ...

Q: Loved the Arizona-centric episode of Grey's Anatomy. What's next for her?

A: Show of hands: Who wants a musical episode of Grey's Anatomy? Well, you are probably out of luck there, but we will see Arizona sing in the coming weeks!

Better still, it's a duet, but don't expect Tony winner Sara Ramirez to be Dr. Robbins' partner in song. Instead, Arizona will trill with one of her male co-stars.

Our bet's on one of these guys.

The gay presence on ABC's Grey's Anatomy is about to double, if only for an episode.

According to TV Guide, girlfriends Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), a.k.a. Calzona, will share screen time with boyfriends Jeff and Aaron in an early 2010 episode.

The male couple, in their 30s, checks into Seattle Grace when Aaron, an overweight opera singer, becomes ill. Aaron will be supported by his husband Jeff, who works as a teacher.

Grey's Anatomy is looking for an actor to play Aaron who can sing a cappella.

Get ready for Addison's return ... again!

Private Practice star Kate Walsh is heading back to Grey’s Anatomy in early January to play a key role in a top-secret crossover involving Addison, Mark, and guest star Leven Rambin.

The situation as we know it is as follows:

In the Grey’s Anatomy half of the crossover, Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) summons Addison to Seattle Grace to perform surgery on Rambin's character, who was announced last week.

The storyline spills into Private Practice when, according to creator Shonda Rhimes, “complications arise and Mark ends up taking [her] back down to L.A. for more surgery.”

As for Mark’s connection to this new crossover character?

That remains to be seen. As does whether sparks fly between lovers-turned-friends Addison and Mark, and what impact this new crisis has, if any, on the future of Mark and Lexie.

Answers to all those questions will likely be revealed, or at least hinted at, in future spoilers.

For now, it's up to us to debate them right here. What do you think happens, and are you excited for the crossover? Sound off on this Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice news below!

Football injuries are commonplace this time of year. Seattle Grace-Mercy West is no exception. A little spoiler note from E! Online today, regarding a future patient:

Q: Jenny in Alaska: Any news on Grey's Anatomy?

A: Football injuries are a very trendy topic these days (we blame Malcolm Gladwell), and Grey's Anatomy jumps on the bandwagon in episode 11 of Season Six when the gang treats a quarterback injured during a game. Sounds ... potentially painful!

Last night saw Derek defy the surgical odds and the Chief of Surgery and not only come out victorious, but with a Zen-like mentality and peace that was inspiring to us all.

When the hospital's lab tech, Isaac, tells Derek he has the mother of all spinal tumors and wants him to operate, McDreamy doesn't know if he can. Fortunately, Isaac does.

Isaac has full confidence, even after Derek opens him up for 10 hours the first time and doesn't do a darn thing. You'll get it the next day, Isaac says, and Derek pulls it off.

Directed by Chandra Wilson, the episode revolved around only this story, with other characters and plots on the periphery, but still brilliantly done. Can someone say Emmy?

For the complete rundown, check out our episode recap of "Give Peace a Chance."

Dehydrated and stressed but Zen, Derek is determined not to lose this fight.

Within the episode main page you will see links to Grey's Anatomy quotes, music, photos and videos, which we're working on now. These are available for all episodes!

According to TV Guide Magazine, the set of Grey's Anatomy is becoming quite the family atmosphere. To a point, this goes without saying, given all the recent baby news.

However, producers are reportedly constructing an on-set nursery to accommodate Ellen Pompeo’s 6-week-old Stella, Katherine Heigl’s 1-year-old adopted Naleigh, Chyler Leigh’s 6-month-old  Anniston, and the baby Eric Dane is expecting with wife Rebecca Gayheart.

All those bundles sure make for a happy Grey's Anatomy set.

After the past few years, that sure is a nice thing to hear!

“Ellen is absolutely loving life as a mom and Katie just came back on set with Naleigh, who is absolutely beautiful and precious!,” reports her on-screen sister, Chyler Leigh.

“The babies haven’t met yet, but I’ve heard talks of a nursery coming. For now our trailers have been converted into baby havens. I have been passing on my experience.”

Leigh, while only 27, now has three kids with hubby Nathan West. The recent arrivals were the first for Pompeo and Heigl, and Eric Dane will be welcoming his first as well.

Grey's Anatomy star Chyler Leigh with adorable son Noah.

But what about plans for the stork to pay a visit to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital? Show creator Shonda Rhimes says, disappointingly, “We don’t do babies on Grey’s.”

Aww. Does that really mean no McBaby? Ever?

“I assume Derek wants to be a dad at some point,” says Rhimes, clarifying that Meredith, on the other hand, is probably “not too into babies.” Well, just give it time, right?

In the meantime, what about a mini-Calzona?

Jessica Capshaw, who plays Dr. Arizona Robbins and is the real-life mother of Luke, 2, says, “In my character research, I found a lot of real life pediatric doctors don’t want to have their own children because everyday they see all the horrible things that could happen.”

So maybe not. At least not for awhile.

We can also rule out former cast-member T.R. Knight (George), 36, who just broke things off with his boyfriend, Mark Cornelson, just weeks after the kid was legally able to toast his 21st birthday. Someone pass poor Mark a pacifier of his own!

Despite what last week's Grey's Anatomy episode may have led you to believe as the credits rolled, Izzie Stevens and Katherine Heigl are not leaving Seattle Grace for good.

Heigl's hiatus is temporary, though that doesn't mean the next few weeks are going to be less painful for her husband Alex (Justin Chambers) or the rest of the SGH gang.

Not only are the wounds from George O'Malley's death still fresh, but we get the feeling that the ambitious new kids are going to be fighting tooth and nail to fill Izzie's void.

Asked if the new docs are going to continue moving in on her turf, new guest star Sarah Drew said, "I think that may come out of it, but I have to be a little cagey with that."

Sarah also revealed that her character, Dr. April Kepner, is going to cut back on the nasty, needy All About Eve routine. According to Sarah, "Lexie's (Chyler Leigh) apology that happened at the end of the last episode definitely carries through.

"There isn't as much animosity in the rest [in the rest of the episodes]."

Sarah Drew made her Grey's Anatomy debut last week.

That doesn't mean she's not still desperate to secure herself a permanent position at Seattle Grace: "April is a very, very good doctor. She really knows what she's doing, she's worked really hard, and she certainly wants to do her best and stick around."

So, could that actually happen? Could any of the new kids become a permanent fixture on Grey's Anatomy? Sarah isn't allowed to reveal how many episodes she's signed to do, but she would definitely be interested in staying if given the opportunity.
