Just as I thought all the drama and rumors surrounding actors leaving the show, this little rumor pops up out of nowhere saying Patrick Dempsey wants to leave Grey’s Anatomy.
ABC recently released a synopsis for the next episode (airing in March) “I Will Follow You Into the Dark”, where it is revealed that Dempsey’s character Derek comes to a decision that he wants to “quit”. People have taken this to mean that he wants to quit the show, but that’s not the case.
E! Online quotes an insider, “[Derek] may be ‘quitting’ but [he is] definitely not leaving the show. [Dempsey] doesn’t want to leave, and they wouldn’t let him go anyway.”
Ellen Pompeo appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman on February 16. Her Valentine’s Day plans with hubby Chris Ivery fell through because of this bit of promotion, but Ellen seemed fine with it as Chris had some pretty un-romantic things planned for the day. Watch the cute interview below:
As Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly put it - Callie’s new girlfriend is a keeper! Grey’s Anatomy has signed actress Jessica Capshaw, who plays pediatrician Arizona Robbins, to a contract, sources confirm to EW exclusively.
The deal calls for Capshaw to appear in all remaining episodes this season with an option to return as a series regular next fall. She was initially signed for only three episodes, but the possibility existed that it could turn into something more permanent.
EW writes:
News of Capshaw’s promotion should silence critics who sounded the anti-gay alarm after ABC kindly asked Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes to banish Callie’s first girlfriend, the brusque and ballsy Dr. Hahn (played by Brooke Smith), to the hospital’s parking lot. “The character was not working for us and the relationship was not working for us,” Alphabet prez Steve McPherson acknowledged last month at press tour.
Eric Dane stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres show earlier this month to promote Grey’s Anatomy. There is quite a bit of talk about the, erm, bodypart that Dane’s character Dr. Sloane broke in a recent episode.
Dane is asked about his wife Rebecca Gayheart and if they are planning on having children. He is also asked by Ellen about the rumors that T.R. and Katherine are leaving the show. Watch his answers to those questions and more in the video below:
Katherine Heigl has signed on to star opposite Ashton Kutcher in the Lionsgate thriller “Five Killers.”
Story kicks off when a woman meets the man of her dreams while on vacation. Married bliss is turned upside down when they discover that their neighbors may be assassins hired to kill them.
There are always rumors going around that certain actors are leaving Grey’s Anatomy.
Ever since Katherine Heigl got her movie career going, people have been saying that she wants to leave the show and concentrate on that instead, but Izzie Stevens is still around (for now), so those rumors were obviously untrue.
But the rumors recently started again when co-star James Pickens Jr. stated that both Heigl and T.R. Knight were to leave the show.
But now writer and creator Shonda Rhimes is setting the record straight by saying it’s only “a rumor” and that Pickens’s words were taken out of context.
Nicole Homewood from the New York Post has written an article about Grey’s Anatomy and how the show has become more depressing as of late, but is trying is get back to the good ol’ days, where the story lines were focused on the characters and their personal lives, rather than the patients and their illnesses.
I have to admit the recent episodes have been quite depressing and has focused a lot on the patients, there’s been very little comedy, but I am glad the show is finally going somewhere now.
With Denny out of the picture (finally!), we now know what the whole point of him was, to tell Izzie she is sick.
Hopefully soon something will happen with Derek and Meredith and the pending proposal *fingers crossed.* Read the article after the jump!
Grey’s Anatomy star T.R. Knight, who has played lovable intern George O’Malley since the show’s debut, has asked producers to write him off the hit medical drama.
While details of his exit have yet to be ironed out, a source close to the situation says that it seems likely Knight’s request will be granted and he will be released from his contract.
Recent reports that Knight has not been attending table-reads for upcoming episodes or that he had walked off the set and cleaned out his dressing room are inaccurate, a rep for Knight tells People Magazine: “He has been there every day. He was at a table read yesterday. He hasn’t said goodbye to anyone.” The rep had no further comment on his possible exit.
Why does a certain character on Grey’s Anatomy suddenly have so little to do?
It’s a question many readers have been emailing about, and now, inside sources are spilling what’s going on behind the scenes.
Before you read any further, however, be forewarned: Naming names is impossible–the truth is a little ugly–so read on only if you want to join the guessing game…
A source close to the show tells me, “The reason [the actor] has not been on is because [he or she] has been a pain in the ass lately, trying to change scenes and dialogue, being hard to work with and putting up an attitude. The higher-ups were getting tired of it, so they tweaked [him or her] out of some episodes. That’s why you haven’t really seen [him or her] lately.”
A second source seconds that emotion: “[He or she] is not really getting along too well with producers right now.”
Fans were shocked by Grey’s Anatomy’s sudden decision to fire Brooke Smith (who plays Dr. Erica Hahn). Turns out, costar Patrick Dempsey was just as caught off-guard.
“ABC actually sends me over what I should [say] …,” he tells Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show Wednesday.
So what’s the official spin?
“ABC’s response … is that [I] should say: ‘We’ve had a great time working with her and that the conclusion of her [character] has been orgasmic’ — I’m sorry, I’m dyslexic! — ‘organic’ ending to the story line.’ “
