What will happen with George and Izzie?

Ingrid Diaz — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:16:21 +0000

We’ve got a few months of speculation to get through before the next season of Grey’s Anatomy rolls around. I imagine that official news regarding who is staying and who is going will be a long way off, and if Shonda & Co. manage to get their way, we might not know anything at all until the season six premiere.

So all we’ve got in the meantime is each other and all of our crazy theories as to what might happen. I’m leaning toward the theory that Izzie survives and George walks into the white light. I don’t have any insider info to go by, so this is mere fan speculation. But I think that Izzie surviving makes the most sense. I say this not because Katherine Heigl said she’d stay with the show, but because storyline wise, I think her surviving is important.

Derek quit medicine because he kept losing patients and couldn’t quite see the point of continuing. Part of the reason he slapped on the scrubs again is because Meredith asked him to save Izzie. And I think that’s a story thread that’s worth seeing through. Sure, Derek is happy and back to being Derek and now Post-It married to Meredith. But why bother tying those two storylines together if Izzie was just going to die anyway?

I don’t believe both will die. I think that the OMG-factor is great for a season finale, but there has to be a balance of joy and tragedy to keep the rest of the characters from unraveling. The story has to go on beyond the doom and gloom, and I think losing one but saving the other will make for far more compelling drama than watching the entirety of Seattle Grace attend two funerals.

But that’s just my two cents on the subject. While I lean toward Izzie’s survival, that’s hardly the only option. Both can live, both can die. George can live on through a different actor if T.R. Knight is out the door – though I personally hate that idea.

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: Should Meredith get pregnant?

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:30:37 +0000

So, in case you haven’t heard: Ellen Pompeo’s pregnant. We’re all very happy for her and for her hubby Chris Ivery. Of course, pregnancy in real life generally means a huge headache in the writers’ room. Shonda Rhimes is refusing to answer questions about it yet on twitter, and Michael Ausiello ponders on CNN how the show is going to deal with a potential 3-month maternity leave for their lead actress.

But what about you guys? Do you think the powers that be should write the pregnancy in for Meredith or do you think they should hide it (like they’re doing with Chyler Leigh’s). Is it too soon for a McBaby?

Personally, while I wouldn’t be opposed to Meredith getting pregnant, I’m not sure the timing is right for that storyline yet. I am, however, looking forward to seeing what they come up with and how they deal with it. I’m more worried about the notion of Ellen Pompeo being absent from the show for a long period of time.

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: Who do you think will get married?

Ingrid Diaz — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:06:51 +0000

There’s been a lot of the discussion the past couple of weeks regarding the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy wedding during the 100th episode of the show. Shonda Rhimes has confirmed that there will be a wedding, but all spoiler sources remain quiet about who exactly the lucky couple will be. The most obvious choice is Meredith and Derek, given that they’re the only couple currently engaged, but word on the virtual streets suggests that this may not be the case necessarily.

So who do you think it will be? Here’s a poll to see how fan opinions ultimately break down. As always, feel free to put your thoughts and speculations in the comments!

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: Whose departure would ruin the show?

Ingrid Diaz — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:32:31 +0000

With all of this talk of people leaving Grey’s I started to wonder if there were any characters I simply couldn’t live without? I think any departure will certainly change the dynamic of the show, but I’m not sure if any would necessarily ruin it for me. If I had to choose, I’d say I would most miss Bailey, Callie and Cristina. But I love all of the characters and would hate to see any of them go (even those whose storylines aren’t as strong this season).

I left Meredith out of the poll because I think her presence is sort of guaranteed, given that she’s the title character. But which of the other characters would you miss the most if they had to leave?

Feel free to discuss your thoughts in the comments! I figure some of you might have more than one character that you’d hate to see go (like I do). And who would you consider most expendable?

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: What couple are you most interested in?

Ingrid Diaz — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:26:50 +0000

Back in October, I asked you guys to tell me which of the secondary couples (i.e. not MerDer) you were most interested in. Hundreds of you piped up and the end result winner was (drumroll…) Alex/Izzie. A few months have passed so now I’m curious if interest has shifted to a different couple. Are most of you still interested in Alex and Izzie or is a different couple sounding more appealing to you now?

As always, please drop your thoughts in the comments. I’d love to know where you guys are with the current couples and their storylines.

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: Mark and Callie

Ingrid Diaz — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:57:49 +0000

So, I’ll admit that I’m of the camp that thinks Mark and Callie should remain friends. They have amazing chemistry together, no doubt, and they’re incredibly fun to watch, but I believe most of that comes from them being each other’s support group. While I wouldn’t ever oppose them as a couple – that might be fun too – I’m really enjoying the friendship they have at the moment.

I know there’s quite a few of you, though, that think the writers should just get the two of them together romantically, and I can understand why that is. They do have the chemistry! And Mark/Lexie and Callie/Arizona (though that one has yet to officially surface) don’t (yet?) have as many supporters.

So, now I’m curious: Where do you fall on the Mark/Callie spectrum at the moment?

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: What do you think of Arizona Robbins?

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:42:14 +0000

Jessica Capshaw is playing the new doctor at Seattle Grace. She’s also – according to rumors high and low – on her way to being Callie’s next love interest. We’ve only gotten a couple of episodes with her so far, but what do you think? Do you like her already? Hate her already? n {democracy:34} As a bonus question: how do you feel about her potentially becoming Callie’s next love interest? Do you think they have potential, or do you think it will be another failed romance in Callie’s unfortunate record? Post from: Grey\'s Anatomy News

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: No more George, how do you feel about it?

Ingrid Diaz — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:35:16 +0000

So we’ve had a few days to settle in with the news that T.R. Knight is more than likely leaving Grey’s Anatomy and taking George with him. I always like to respect actor’s wishes to follow their dreams and do what is best for them, but there’s also the effect that their character’s absence has on the show itself. I really do wish the best for T.R. but I’m wondering what the show will be like without George. He’s one of the original cast members and despite the lack of storyline this season, he’s still George. I’m definitely going to miss him. How about you? How do you feel about it?

Grey’s Anatomy Poll: Izzie/Denny

Ingrid Diaz — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:56:17 +0000

So now that we’ve had a couple of episodes with the new and otherworldly Izzie/Denny storyline, how do you feel about it?

I have to say, I don’t quite know what they’re thinking with this. I loved Izzie and Denny together, but part of the beauty of that relationship was the tragedy and desperation of it. Now they’re just making it weird. Is this just meant as another roadblock toward the ultimate relationship: Alex/Izzie? And if so, was this really the way to do it?

What do you all think? Love it? Hate it?
