Sadly, Grey's Anatomy is in full repeat mode until the middle of next month. Tonight, the first half of the two-part Season Six premiere, "Good Mourning," airs at 9 EST on ABC.

The doctors struggle to cope in their own way with the loss of George O'Malley, and watching their stories and personal struggles unfold is very sad, but compelling to watch.

Next week, the second half of the two-hour premiere, "Goodbye," will air. Follow the links for recaps of "Good Mourning" and "Goodbye" here for full rundowns of both halves.

Within each episode guide you can find links to Grey's Anatomy quotes, Grey's Anatomy music, photos and videos. We have these features available for every single episode!

We can't believe it either ... no new episodes until mid-January!

If the latest Grey's Anatomy rumor proves true, Meredith's ever-growing family tree could sprout yet another branch. A theory that Mercy West’s Dr. Jackson Avery is the Chief’s super-secret love child via Ellis Grey is gaining some traction as of late.

This twist is based largely on speculation spurred by reports of a casting call for a Young Chief and Young Ellis, who will appear in a flashback, and by the fact that Jackson was cast as bi-racial (as opposed to the show's typical blind casting style).

Does this rumor have any merit? Why not ask the man in question what he knows. Here's what Jesse Williams (Jackson) had to say about it in an interview with Fancast ...

Q: The big rumor making rounds is that Jackson will be revealed as Meredith’s half-brother.

Jesse Williams: I have heard that; I did not know that it had catapulted itself to a rumor. Ellen Pompeo and I have actually talked about this, because it would be really interesting and cool and dramatic. But I’d be very surprised if that happened, only because Meredith would have noticed if her mom was pregnant at some point in her [childhood].

Q: True. But Meredith does have a habit of acquiring relatives she does not get along with.

Jesse Williams: Exactly, exactly, so we’ve got that going for us already. [Laughs] But I don’t know how they would reconcile her never noticing her mom being pregnant. I simply don’t know! It could happen. It absolutely could happen.

Q: You’re also conspicuously absent from the new "Seattle Grace On Call" webisodes. That says to me that Ms. Shonda Rhimes has grander plans to keep you busy.

Jesse Williams: Oh I’ve been busy, I can certainly tell you that. I mean, I’ll find out tomorrow what’s happening next week. I don’t have a ton of information ahead of time, so I’m excited as anybody else to find out what the hell is going to happen next for me.

We don't know who Alex's one-night stand is on Grey's Anatomy, but we have a pretty good idea who it's not. Here's what TV Guide has to say about one recent rumor ...

Q: Some are saying that Meredith Grey is going to sleep with Alex Karev this spring on Grey's Anatomy. Please tell me it isn't true. I'm totally freaking out about this!

A: First off, we're not going to identify Alex's hookup, but we will help narrow down the list of candidates. You can take a deep breath, because everything will be fine.

Meredith and Derek's marriage by Post-It will not be torn asunder by Alex, and Callie's eyes won't be wandering back toward the men's side of the locker room either.

"Callie and Arizona get a little sexy soon," says Jessica Capshaw, who plays Arizona. "We see a little girl-on-girl action. America was asking for it and America got it."

Man, she knows America well!

As we reported yesterday, Grey's Anatomy will soon feature a flashback episode, giving us a glimpse into the romance between Chief Webber and Meredith's late mother Ellis Grey.

The series is now casting for younger versions of James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton.

While the story for this episode is most likely about the roots of Chief's alcoholism, there are also rumored that it may relate to Ellis and Richard's secret love child ... Dr. Avery.

That's right, hot Mercy West doctor Jackson, played by Jesse Williams and introduced earlier in Season Six. Could he be the secret child of the Chief, and Meredith's half-brother?

Some have long wondered if Meredith's daddy issues with Chief were purely psychological or if there was a genetic component to the relationship, but this would be a new wrinkle.

You may also recall that there was a casting note earlier this year for a mixed-race doctor, a rarity for a show known for its "blind" casting system, around the time of the merger.

Why would the racial makeup of the character (who is unnamed, but Jackson would fit the bill) matter unless there were a tie-in that would require him to look a certain way?

Just speculation, of course. What's your take on it?

Is Dr. Jackson Avery about to get even more intriguing?

After taking a five-episode hiatus, Katherine Heigl will return to Grey's Anatomy for the show's January 21 episode. But will her on-screen husband be happy about it?

Izzie's absence has certainly affected Alex (Justin Chambers), who many believe may not be able to forgive his wife for walking out on him, according to TV Guide.

"Alex is just fed up," Chambers says.

"Alex is not built for all of this. He really meant what he said when he committed to her at their wedding and now he just feels it's all rushed too fast and he hasn't really necessarily thought everything through. He has so much emotional baggage anyway."

"Did he really do the right thing?" Justin Chambers wonders.

"Maybe he didn't. Does she really love him or does she love the idea of them? She's got so much to work out on her own, maybe they're not supposed to be together for a while, or ever."

Will they ultimately work through their differences? That remains to be seem, but things are going to get ugly when another woman is introduced.

According to insiders, a reeling Alex seeks solace at Joe's bar, where his inebriation, as it often does on the medical drama, sends him straight into a one-night stand.

"I was totally thrown off by it," Justin admits. "I think it's great though. It just adds a little spice to the show. The writers are really good at turning corners and taking your head for a little spin. It surprised me as much as it will the audience."

Any guesses as to who Alex's mystery woman is?

As for Heigl splitting time between the big and small screens in real life, Justin is more supportive. "Katherine is a movie star now," he says. "She's got such an exciting career going these days. I'm so happy for her. She's got to be a movie star."

Chambers says he personally has no plans to exit the show, and that given his personal situation, he'll stay at Seattle Grace as long as the producers will have him.

"This show is such a great springboard for all of us," he says. "I plan on having a career after this, but with my situation with my kids, this is the perfect job to have."

Justin and his wife Keisha have five (!) children - five big reasons why he's content working on one, L.A.-based show that doesn't involve too much travel.

"I love coming to work and I love the people I work with. On hiatus, I've taken advantage of a lot of free time with my family. I definitely like my job. I know what it's like to not know where you're going to work next and I don't want to go back to that."

We hope he doesn't have to!

Several other shows on ABC mess with time (Lost, FlashForward, Desperate Housewives) so it makes sense that it's finally Grey's Anatomy's turn in one form or another.

The 15th episode of the season will flashback to when Richard and Ellis Grey were doctors in their late 20s. The scenes will likely shed light on Richard's current demons.

As we know, the Chief has returned to hitting the bottle after many years of sobriety. We get the impression this will continue to be a problem when the show returns.

The series is currently casting actors who resemble James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton to play the young doctors. What do you think, or hope, these scenes will reveal?

Are you excited to see a young, pre-Chief Richard?

Below is the second installment of the Grey's Anatomy webisode series, "Seattle Grace: On Call." The first one premiered two weeks ago, and last night, the drama picked up where it left off, providing us a glimpse inside the personal lives of some of the hospitals new faces.

Check it out below and tell us what you think ...

As most of you probably of know, the first episode when Grey's Anatomy returns in 2010 will be part of a crossover with Private Practice. The first promo for the two-hour event aired after last night's (also two-hour) Private Practice, and we've posted it below:

Mark and his daughter, who was introduced to us last week in "Holidaze," look to be at the center of the action, as does his former lover Addison. It should be a dramatic episode.

What are your predictions? Thoughts? Hopes?

Filling in nicely for Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice brought the drama big-time last night on ABC with back-to-back episodes, titled "The Parent Trap" and "Blowups."

In the first hour, Sam and Naomi's parenting struggles actually brought them closer together, and in the second, poor Dell's world was rocked to the core by Heather.

Throughout the night, we learned more about Addison's family - as did she.

The Captain and Bizzy both played big roles last night, in terms of Addison, but also of Pete and Violet. Spoiler alert: Her parents' marriage isn't really what it seems.

In particular, one discovery nearly pushed our girl over the edge.
