Grey's Anatomy News (Page 20)

We've been sent quite a few links and pictures regarding the previously reported appearance of the Grey's Anatomy cast in downtown Seattle.

Here's a pretty good candid shot of our favorite leading men, Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington, and one of the show's cameramen.

They look a bit tired -- perhaps from arguing over who will ultimately replace Dr. Webber as chief? Got some pictures of your own? We'd love to see them. Email steve@greysanatomyinsider.com.

While most TV shows are content to stick close to L.A., Grey's Anatomy tries to actually make its version of Seattle look real by visiting the Emerald City from time to time, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.

Credit must be given to Bellevue, Wash., native Peter Horton (left) the show's lead director and an executive producer, for these visits. Of course, it also helps that Grey's Anatomy is now on Thursdays and probably ABC's most important series.

According to the P-I, cast members have been sighted downtown this week. The phone lines at the paper lit up with fans happily reporting seeing the show's handsome leading men, Drs. Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) and Burke (Isaiah Washington).

The Insider is happy to have gotten a first-hand account of the cast's visit from a devoted fan and Seattle resident, Kimberly Lind, who writes to us:

"Being the obsessive fan I am, when I heard that Grey's filming in my own precious Seattle this morning, I rushed downtown as quickly as possible.

They were just wrapping up their scene in front of the Westin Hotel. I got a few grainy pictures of Isaiah Washington, James Pickens, Jr., and Patrick Dempsey as they mingled with the crowd, signing autographs and posing for pictures.

The guys were all dressed like they were heading out for a camping or fishing trip. Dr. Burke's hand seemed to be operating fairly normally. And the scene I witnessed, as I said, was shot in front of a five-star hotel.

The cast and crew were also spotted in Pioneer Square, Seattle's historic district, where they filmed some scenes at a bakery."

Thanks, Kimberly -- and go, Seattle!

Tonight's episode, "I Am a Tree," (9 p.m. EST) takes its name from a song written by Doug Gillard, and performed by Guided by Voices. We'll see if the voices of the interns can successfully guide Izzie back into the internship program, which they will attempt to do.

Cristina, meanwhile, has the honor of meeting Dr. Burke's parents, Jane and Donald (played by Diahann Carroll and Richard Roundtree) under rather awkward circumstances. To say the least. You've seen the previews.

Also, a distraught Addison takes a break from her hospital duties, a surgical patient lives what may be her last day to the fullest, and somebody's panties are tacked up on the bulletin board, which can only lead to good things.

Some of you in Canada, of course, have already seen this. But the rest of us are looking forward to it. We'll have our exclusive Episode Guide, pics and quotes up after the show, so check back!

Catch up on last week's season premiere, "Time Has Come Today," by reading our comprehensive guide as well as our staff's Round Table discussion. Check out our list of memorable quotes and our image gallery from the episode, too.

Many of you are probably aware of this already, but for those of you who aren't, ABC will be airing Grey's Anatomy episodes on Fridays at 8 p.m. EST.

That's in addition to the all-new episodes which air Thursdays at 9 p.m., giving people a chance to catch it if they missed it the first time, or watch it again if they're so inclined.

Or, in the case of our Canadian friends, watch the correct episode this time. Sorry. We couldn't pass that up.

Last week, Grey's Anatomy returned with its Season 3 premiere, "Time Has Come Today," and immediately proved it will be a force on Thursdays. Derek, Meredith, Cristina (pictured) & friends beat out CSI as the night's top-rated show, though CBS edged ABC for total viewers on the night.

Suffice it to say, those of us who haven't seen "I Am A Tree" are eagerly awaiting the chance to. We'll have a preview of it (without giving away any real spoilers, don't worry) later this week!

It's finally here. At 9 p.m. Eastern, Grey's Anatomy returns with an all-new episode, "Time Has Come Today." Prior to the premiere, at 8 p.m., ABC will be airing a second season recap special called "Complications of the Heart."

As if another airing of last season's two-hour finale last night wasn't enough! On tonight's long-awaited episode, the doctors must help Izzie cope with the loss of Denny, while Meredith must decide what the future holds between herself, Derek and Finn.

Meanwhile, George seeks romantic advice from an unlikely source, Dr. Burke struggles to recover from surgery, Richard is confronted by Adele, and a lot more. It's a lot to digest, but we couldn't be happier that it's back.

We'll post our official Episode Guide immediately after tonight's broadcast, and compile a list of quotes and gallery of pictures for you as well. Visit the Insider after the show and read our recap, then talk about the episode in our forums as long as you want.

A little more than one day!

That's all that stands between now and the beginning of Season 3 of Grey's Anatomy. If you're like us, and you probably are if you're reading the Insider right now, you can't wait to find out what happens when the all-new episode, "Time Has Come Today" airs Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern.

According to the plot summary on ABC's official site, the doctors at SGH must help Izzie cope with the loss of Denny and her decision to quit the program.

Meredith, of course, must decide what the future holds after her liaison with Derek. Addison is going to find out about it sooner or later, meaning plenty of soul-searching is in her future.

The Chief, meanwhile, is confronted by his wife, Adele, after spending the night in his office, and George seeks relationship advice -- but from an unlikely source. We could have told you most of that, but it's great that the premiere is upon us at last.

Good news for all of you who missed the Season 2 finale (or have been dying to see it a second time): As ABC's rigorous off-season Grey's Anatomy hype builds to a crescendo, you'll have a chance to catch the final two segments of the three-part finale from last May one final time before new episodes begin.

On Wednesday, from 9-11 p.m., "Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response" and "Losing My Religion" will air back to back.

This is a great opportunity to relive the suspense, drama and heartbreak. You can read our guides to these thrilling episodes by following the links above.

Be sure to check out the image gallery and complete list of quotes we compiled for "Deterioration..." along with even more quality pics and memorable quotes from "Losing My Religion."

For a recap of the entire series, tune in an hour before the season opener at 8 p.m. Eastern for "Complications of the Heart." This hour-long special features a compilation of important moments from the second season, as well as longer version of The Fray's Grey's Anatomy music video, "How to Save a Life." We can't wait -- for any of it!

One week to go until the season premiere, and four repeats before we get there. Fittingly, ABC will be showing the final four episodes of Season 2 in preparation for next Thursday's Season 3 premiere.

Tonight, we have the chance to relive "Damage Case" and "17 Seconds" at 8 and 9 p.m. EDT, respectively.

"Damage" involves a family involved in a car accident, in which the person at fault is a surgical intern at SGH's rival hospital. Derek lets his emotions get the best of him, and Burke and Izzie make a new suggestion to Denny regarding his treatment.
   
In "17," the first installment of last season's three-part finale, sparks ignite between Finn and Meredith, the budding relationship between Callie and George progresses, and Izzie devises her radical plan to get Denny a heart transplant.

In addition to our episode guides (see links above), be sure to check out our list of quotes from "Damage Case," as well as our image gallery. We have quotes and pics from "17 Seconds" for your enjoyment as well.

If you haven't already, test your Grey's Anatomy I.Q. with a little trivia! HINT: The answer to one of the questions people are having trouble with can be found in one of tonight's episodes. We'll post the answers in the next few days after more people have had the chance to take part. Enjoy!

Tomorrow, in one of the last few Grey's Anatomy episodes to be seen in the old 10 p.m. Sunday time slot, you can find the "Name of the Game."

Where to even begin with this one? Meredith learns she has a sister, born to her father after he left Ellis Grey and re-married. Her sister, Molly, unaware of the connection, is hospitalized due to complications with her pregnancy.

Later in the show, Meredith (who has also learned to knit) takes Doc to the vet's office and meets a handsome Finn Dandridge (Chris O'Donnell).

Dr. Webber straight up owns Cristina during a surgical training session, telling her that above all else, you have to stick to the basics, keep it old school. Dr. Yang then employs this wisdom to rid Burke's apartment of George. Sparks fly between the short-haired Dr. O'Malley and new flame Callie, while Alex berates a patient whose decisions he disagrees with.

The summer is finally winding down and the premiere of Season Three is quickly approaching. September 21 can't come fast enough, but at the very least, ABC continues to push Grey's Anatomy re-runs on its new night... twice.

At 8 p.m. Thursday, you can watch the popular "Thanks For the Memories," a Season Two Thanksgiving episode that aired pretty recently. If you haven't seen George's dad get shot in the rear end, or Cristina wish she could shoot herself amid Izzie's festiveness, this is your opportunity.

It's sad and funny, depressing and heartwarming. Definitely worth watching for the first, second or third time. Check out our episode guide by following the link above, and be sure to peruse our image gallery and list of quotes.

At 9 p.m., Grey's Anatomy fast-forwards a bit to the latter half of Season Two with "Band-Aid Covers the Bullet Hole." Desperate to bounce back and remake himself after his defeating encounter with Meredith, George (above) gives himself a haircut. It doesn't look good.

Cristina struggles for her man's attention, as does Addison. Izzie falls even harder for Denny, while Miranda struggles to balance motherhood and being Nazi-like. Also a good episode. Be sure to take a look at our guide (see link above) and complete list of quotes.

Thanks for making us the top Grey's Anatomy site on the web. We'll be announcing our weekly Caption Contest winner tomorrow -- give it a shot!

That's not a rhetorical question, just the name of the episode airing tonight. While Grey's Anatomy will be vying for multiple Emmy Awards on NBC, ABC would prefer you simply watched this repeat instead. And it's certainly tempting, even if George's awkwardness makes us cringe.

Fans may recall that this episode takes place immediately after Meredith and George's infamous hook-up. Suddenly, the former pals find themselves dodging one another at work, and as the gossip starts filtering through the staff, Dr. O'Malley becomes more and more agitated.

Later we learn just how awkward their encounter was. This episode also marks the first appearance of Callie.

Dr. Bailey, meanwhile, has to treat Addison for an unusual problem (poison oak around the va-jay-jay, to be exact), much to the amusement of her husband, and to the sadistic delight of Mrs. McDreamy's detractors. In another news, Denny returns to SGH, Izzie cares for him, and Alex gets jealous. We all remember how that turned out.

Check out our comprehensive Episode Guide for the full rundown. We've also compiled a list of memorable quotes from the episode, of which there are many. Good luck to Chandra, Sandra, Shonda and all the other nominees at tonight's Emmys! We'll be pulling for you.
