Former All My Children star Leven Rambin has landed a recurring role on both Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, according to Soap Opera Digest. She'll appear later this year.

No word on who the 19-year-old will be playing, but presumably it will be the same character on both series. Another crossover in the works, perhaps? Theories and thoughts?

Leven Rambin played Ava Benton on All My Children from 2004-2008.

Below is the first promo for next week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Give Peace a Chance." The new episode will in fact air next week, despite previous reports of it being a repeat.

The tension we've seen building between Derek and the Chief all season long heats up in a big way next week when Derek wants to do a risky surgery to save a SGH lab technician.

All we've got to say is that we're excited for a Derek-centric episode, and happy that at least someone has been standing up to the Chief, who seems like he's steering a sinking ship.

Check out the promo below and see what you think ...

Thanks to all for playing and good luck again this week ...

Alex: So, how's it going with April? Bad mood? Good mood? "Crap, I almost killed a patient" mood?
Lexie: Uh, I think it's more "I hate sitting in a hall waiting to be yelled at" mood.
Cristina: Well, for what it's worth, I take issue with their orange colored scrubs. I mean, what self-respecting surgeon wears orange colored scrubs?
Lexie: This is what I'm saying.

Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy saw 12 doctors saying they saw 12 different things in a scene reminiscent of ER. But it was one mistake early on that led to a fatal chain of events for a patient and landed a doctor out on the street in search of a new job.

April blew it. A routine check of a patient's throat would have revealed unhealthy carbon monoxide levels early and saved her, but the room was chaotic and she dropped the ball.

Still, it was just a mistake, and as Derek said, perhaps the blame should be placed on the man who can't get the hospital under control or on the same page. Harsh, but true.

For the complete rundown of the episode, which employed a very different story-telling method than any we've seen so far, check out our episode recap of "I Saw What I Saw."

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

What did you think of last night's Grey's Anatomy? Share with us!

In charge of revamping Seattle Grace and merging Mercy West with it, Chief Richard Webber wants answers. The problem is he's getting too many - and he's not looking in the mirror.

While last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy provided an entirely different tone, feel and narrative structure than we're used to, Private Practice was true to form.

The doctors of Oceanside Wellness (and Pacific Wellcare) struggled with patients who tugged at their heartstrings - and in some cases, hit a little close to home.

This was especially true in the case of Violet, who had to counsel a couple struggling with the rape of a woman - and an unplanned pregnancy that resulted from it.

Meanwhile, Addison treated a homeless teen and her two-year-old son, and she and Sam helped her reunite with her own mother, with whom she was estranged.

Elsewhere, Sheldon tried to lay down rules, Charlotte threw herself into home renovations and ended up with a new position, and Dell even made an appearance!

For a full rundown, follow the link for a recap of "Pushing the Limits."

When the Mercy West doctors descended on Seattle Grace in last week's "Invasion," there was no love lost between our old standbys and their job-hungry competitors.

What we saw then paled in comparison to this evening, though.

In a chaotic ER scene, disaster strikes and there is plenty of blame to go around, compounding the already-rising tension in a turbulent environment. At times, it got ugly.

The truth came out eventually, and someone dearly paid the price.

Did you see that turn of events coming, or were you surprised?

"I Saw What I Saw" was ...

Tonight's episode is called "I Saw What I Saw." But the previews have made it undeniably clear that what the doctors of Seattle Grace saw differs from one person to the next.

Moreover, what they saw so differently led to a patient's demise, and the Chief is looking to hand down serious discipline. Will the axe fall yet again at the hospital this week?

Now that Mercy West's doctors have invaded and turned Grey's Anatomy upside down, they're staking their territory, which may include some new, intriguing relationships.

Dr. Charles Denman (Robert Baker) is at the center of the drama.

The new guest star opened up to TV Guide this week about what it's like to become the new worst enemy of the fans of one of TV's most popular shows in just one week.

He also discusses which Seattle Gracers will cross over to the dark side, how Thursday's episode unfolds and what Izzie (Katherine Heigl) will pursue when she returns ...

Q: Everyone hates the Mercy Westers. How does that feel?

Robert Baker: I've never been so hated in my life, but I think that it's the way [fans] should feel. We came on to the show and started wreaking havoc. I'm not like Charles in my everyday life. If I step on an ant, I go into mourning over it.

I don't want to ruffle any feathers in real life, so to go up there and do it is actually a blast. The show needs a bad guy. You can't have good drama without [one].

Q: Do any of them have any redeemable qualities? Will fans grow to like them?

Robert Baker: Yeah, people are going to start seeing that when it comes to doing our jobs, we definitely come through for them. I think it's going to take a while for people to be won over by any one of the Mercy Westers in particular.

It's going to be difficult in future episodes for them.

Q: Charles pretty much got Izzie fired. Will everyone in the hospital be upset with him?

Robert Baker: Certain people, definitely. I'm sure you can guess which people will be angrier than others about Izzie departing - not everyone though. They're not happy because she's gone; they're just not mad at [Charles] for what happened to her.

Q: Are Alex (Justin Chambers) and Charles going to come to blows?

Robert Baker: It's funny, this Thursday, Alex and I do have some stuff together. You will see his dislike for me. We don't quite come to blows because that wouldn't be a very fair fight, first of all. Clearly I'm the biggest person to ever set foot on that set.

Basically, it's a little more passive-aggressive what goes on between he and I. He has me under his thumb a little bit and takes advantage of it.

Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly fields several Grey's Anatomy questions this morning in his weekly spoiler Q&A. Will we hear from Izzie? Is the Chief in trouble?

Let's find out what he has to say about this evening's episode and more ...

Q: You were right: I was crying during the final scene of last week’s Grey’s Anatomy. My heart broke for Alex. Please tell me you have some good news about him.

A: Alex does make contact with Izzie this week. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad: It doesn't look like she is coming out of hiding anytime soon.

Q: I’m a huge Kim Raver fan and I’m thrilled that she is joining the Grey’s Anatomy cast. Could you give us some scoop on her character?

A: She’s basically Cristina’s worst nightmare: a heart specialist who used to play doctor with Owen. That’s right, Owen’s ex is going to be Cristina’s (potential) mentor! Cue the dramaz!

Q: I have a feeling the Chief will get axed on Grey’s Anatomy.

A: A word of advice: You’d make a terrible psychic. The Chief is not the one who gets fired. BTW, unlike Izzie, the doc getting pink-slipped this week won’t be back.

Who do you think that might be?

The title of tomorrow night's Grey's Anatomy episode, "I Saw What I Saw," tells you a lot about what's going on, as the doctors all have their own account of an ER debacle.

This doesn't exactly help the brewing tension between the Mercy Westers and our Seattle Grace favorites. A little healthy competition is one thing, but this is out of control.

As the doctors fight to save their jobs and convince themselves they aren't to blame, one of the newcomers pushes Alex a little too far with a snide comment, and ...

Follow the jump for two more clips, in which Lexie and others are grilled by the chief, and Alex is dissed by two of his competitors. Watch, enjoy, and comment below ...
