Grey's Anatomy Spoilers (Page 26)

It's too early to tell for sure, but at least from the spoilers and news we've read, Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy is shaping up like a total love-fest.

First and foremost, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are finally moving in together — to the delight of millions of viewers.

But don’t count on them walking down the aisle soon.

“Wouldn’t a wedding be too predictable?” Pompeo asks, rhetorically, in the new issue of TV Guide. “Would Meredith even wear a wedding dress?”

A fair question. But even without a wedding, the on-again, off-again couple will take a break from the breaking up and finally get a chance to explore life after “happily ever after,” says creator / producer Shonda Rhimes.

“The first three episodes start the dynamic of where we are all going,” Rhimes tells TV Guide. “Meredith is trusting him and moving forward cautiously, and Derek is waiting there, saying, ‘I’m here to support you.’”

Just for kicks, how would a Mer-Der wedding look?

“Cristina would come to Vegas with Meredith and Derek,” Ellen Pompeo said. “Then I’d leave her at the slot machines and go get hitched.”

What's the latest on the embattled Katherine Heigl and her character Izzie Stevens, who's rumored to be on the chopping block in the upcoming fifth season of Grey's Anatomy? Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello says ...

Q: What's the latest on the whole "Izzie gets a brain tumor" rumor?

A: It's been replaced by the completely new "Izzie falls for the deer whose life she saved last season" rumor. Think I'm nuts? Check out what Shonda Rhimes just told TV Guide: “Izzie’s got a love story – and it’s a big one, one that I’ve been kicking around in my head for a bit, one that required me to take a huge leap of faith in myself, one that is so secret that I have not told anyone. Not the writers, not anyone." What else could it be, right? The only other thing I can think of is that she hooks up with her estranged daughter's adoptive father. Nah, it's gotta be the deer.

TV sleuth Michael Ausiello has a little tidbit about Grey's Anatomy in his weekly news and spoiler report from across the TV landscape. Nothing great, but any news - no matter how small - is appreciated during the summer!

Q: Please, any new scoop from Grey's Anatomy?

A: The green-eyed monster has once again reared its ugly head on the show's set, but this time it's not salary drama or spin-off envy fueling the rancor: It's those lucky bastards in dermatology! An upcoming episode will find some of our favorite residents wandering over to Seattle Grace's never-before-seen dermatology department - and they will not be happy with what they find. Namely, the kind of posh work environment more consistent with a five-star spa than a hospital.

Some Grey's Anatomy spoiler action from E! Online ...

Q: Any Grey's Anatomy love for the older kids at the hospital?

A: Gladly. Word has it that Chief Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) is going to be whipping the staff into shape when Seattle Grace starts to slip in the national rankings as one of the best teaching hospitals in the country. Seattle Grace not running smoothly? With all of those on-call room "naps," who would have guessed.

Q: Are Yang and Torres still going to be living together next season on Grey's Anatomy?

A: Grey's Anatomy spies have said that, pre-writer's strike, there was going to be a little Three's Company action going on with Hahn, Torres and Yang. Now that the romantic Callie-Erica relationship has been established, it's unknown if the lovebirds be moving in together, or where Cristina fits into that.

Spies close to Grey's Anatomy have spilled the beans to E! Online regarding a cool and noteworthy location change for the upcoming Season Five - one that may reveal some exciting details about what's ahead for Meredith and Derek.

The set for Seattle Grace Hospital has moved to another soundstage (one occupied by The Shield until recently) at Prospect Studios in L.A.

As for the original soundstage, they have built... this:

In the interest of full disclosure here, we can't say for sure whether this photo is exactly it or just a representation of what it will look like.

But we do know this for a fact - according to sources connected with the series, the original Grey's Anatomy soundstage has indeed been converted into a lovely home that will be occupied by none other than the great Dr. Derek Shepherd.

You may remember that as of last May's season finale, Derek had a beautiful plot of land that he offered up to Meredith for their dream house, and Meredith finally came around and offered up a beautiful floor plan. Made of candles!

So this would be a pretty strong indication that Meredith and Derek will be shacking up in their dream house this season, wouldn't it? Hopefully there is plenty of domestic bliss to follow. We just hope they skip over the trips to Home Depot.

TV Guide has some good and bad news related to Meredith and Derek on the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy. We'll start with the good.

The good news: They're together!

The bad news: Do either of them have any idea what "together" means? Not really. When the action picks back up, they'll be trying to figure out how being a mutually committed couple "works," driving everybody around them crazy in the process.

Can Mer and Der recapture the magic of seasons past?

The woman behind Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice recently gave E! tons of gossip, rumors and spoilers for the upcoming fifth season.

Let's dispense with the intro and get right to it. Check out what Shonda Rhimes had to say, then sound off with comments and reactions:

Q: Where is the story taking us next season?

Shonda Rhimes: I think a lot of the focus is going to be on the five core interns we've gotten to know — who aren't interns anymore — George (T.R. Knight), Izzie (Katherine Heigl), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Alex (Justin Chambers) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). I really want to focus on them as they deal with the next step in their training. We're also going to spend a lot of time with Mark (Eric Dane), Derek (Patrick Dempsey), Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Erica (Brooke Smith) and see their interactions.

Q: On to MerDer, are you tired of talking about them?

Shonda Rhimes: I was until I got them together. Now it's a whole new world. There's a whole host of problems that come with Meredith and Derek being together, and a whole host of other storylines, drama and excitement. So I'm really excited about them being together, because I feel like what I wanted you to leave with last season is Meredith standing in that field, having done this incredible thing, and the look on her face is a little bit like, "Oh my God, now I actually have to do this." That's important.

Q: Is it more fun for you to write them together?

Shonda Rhimes: Absolutely. It was a real challenge to figure out how to get them together...how to get Meredith to the place where she was healthy enough to make this step with Derek. Now that she's made the step with Derek, it's really exciting to see what's going to come next and how she's going to deal with living with a boy, and all the things a man like Derek, who has been married and is a grown-up, might expect.

Q: MerDer is living together? Are they living in Derek's trailer or in Meredith's house?Continue Reading...

Looks like a quiet week on the Grey's Anatomy spoiler front, but Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly does have a few pieces of info ...

Q: I'm dying for something, anything, on Grey's Anatomy.
A: Well, would you look at this — I found something! I'm hearing that young Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) - who turns into a big ball of confusion following her impromptu smooch with George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) - reaches out to the unlikeliest of colleagues for advice: That raging whorebag known as McSteamy (Eric Dane)!

Q: Can you give me some Grey's Anatomy scoop?
A: Would you settle for Private Practice instead? Shonda Rhimes is looking for a "star name" to play a charming new doctor in his 30s.

At the Television Critics Association press tour last week, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes was questioned about various aspects of the show and its upcoming Season Five, and the topic on so many people's minds is the potential romantic relationship between Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith).

Her answers, while vague on plot details, nonetheless confirm that there will be a romantic relationship between Callie and Erica.

"We have a really interesting, wonderful, funny way of laying out the story of Callie and Erica that I'm pretty excited about, that I feel like is not necessarily your typical — if there can be a typical — your typical way of dealing with the storyline," Rhimes said.

While developing this Grey's Anatomy story, Shonda consulted GLAAD, who brought in openly gay writer-producers Nikki Weiss and Trish Doolan.

Their job? Answer questions about how they identified themselves (as lebian or bi), when were they first aware of their attraction to a woman, and if they ever slept with a man to prove to themselves that they weren't gay.

"What I love about this is we sat down with GLAAD and talked about women who figure out that they're lesbians later in life and what it means for them," Shonda Rhimes said.

"And we really were able to find some really great, humorous and serious emotional stuff to play that's going to feel really interesting and also affect their lives in the hospital."Continue Reading...
