Soap opera fans will undoubtedly recognize Leven Rambin from All My Children. And if your first thought was, “Uh oh!” then you’re probably right. The actress has signed up for a recurring role on both Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. So we’ll be seeing a lot of this character. And from the sounds of it, she’s there to cause some trouble.
The evidence comes by way of Leven Rambin’s twitter page, where she wrote: “First day of filming Grey’s Anatomy tomorrow!!!!! Gayheart better watch. Her. Back. I’m coming for McSteamy!”
Sounds like Lexie better watch her back too! There’s not a lot …read more

If you’re worried that Izzie will disappear into the Parking Lot of Doom and never be seen or heard from again, relax: She’s coming back. While her hiatus from the show will stretch a few (supposedly five) episodes, she will still appear in one episode during November sweeps. And there’s some casting news to back it all up.
Joel Grey has been cast as Izzie’s old high school teacher who appears suddenly in need of her help. This teacher was apparently a very important part of Izzie’s life and was somone who motivated her to aspire to greater heights. Of the …read more

If you’re familiar with either Greek or The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 then you’ll probably recognize Jesse Williams. The actor has been cast for a multi-episode arc in Grey’s Anatomy’s season 6. So if you’d been looking for another hottie around Seattle Grace: wish granted!
Unfortunately, specific details as to what his character is and what he’s going to be doing around the hospital are under lock and key for the moment.
The only thing we know so far is that he’s going to be a “confident new medican professional.” It’s unclear whether his character has the potential for a …read more

X-Files fans rejoice! Mitch Pileggi will be returning to Grey’s Anatomy for the two-hour season 6 premiere.
You may recall he dropped by to play hospital board chairman, Larry Jennings, back in season 3. Although his visit to Seattle Grace was less official and more medical in nature. He played a patient whose trip to the Amazon jungle had left a flesh-eating fish in his um … well, anyway.
This next time around, the hospital bigshot will not be lying on a hospital bed. Though the details are non-too-specific, one can guess that his encore has something to do with Izzie …read more

This season’s Grey’s Anatomy finale is gearing up to be really freakin’ awesome. We’ve got two hours of non-stop medical drama, complete with two potential main character deaths, and it’s all coming up on May 14!
TV Guide launched its season finale guide, and while there’s not much to be said in the way of spoilers, there’s this intriguing tidbit: Series creator Shonda Rhimes reportedly told her cast that “life-changing things” are in store for every major Seattle Gracer.

According to an EW exclusive, it seems that the “publicity conflict” blamed for Kaley Cuoco pulling out of her scheduled Grey’s appearance is actually not a publicity conflict after all.
Instead, CBS is being blamed. The network apparently pulled the plug on the entire operation because (according to an insider): “They didn’t want one of their biggest stars appearing on one of ABC’s biggest shows. It’s that simple.”
CBS fail.
Cuoco’s replacement is now said to be Shannon Lucio, whom you might remember from The O.C. as Caleb’s illegitimate daughter.
The question still remains what the role is. An Izzie relative might still be …read more

Due to a publicity-related commitment on the part of Kaley Cuoco, the Big Bang Theory actress will no longer be appearing in the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. As I’d mentioned previously, Grey’s had come a-knockin’ on Cuoco’s door and she’d answered with an enthusiastic yes. Despite the mystery surrounding her character, everything seemed set for her arrival on the set this week.
Alas, a spokesperson for Cuoco has released the following statement: “Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts on behalf of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco regrettably will be unable to guest star on the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. …read more

Last night Michael Ausiello talked to CNN about Grey’s Anatomy. One of the main topics was Ellen Pompeo’s pregnancy and how the show will deal with what will likely be a 3 month maternity leave.
Another topic is Kaley Cuoco and how she doesn’t know what her character is going to be, though speculation seems to buzz around a potential relative of Izzie’s.
Watch the video and then drop your thoughts in the comments!

What do you think Grey’s is going to do without Ellen Pompeo for what might be an extended period of time?

The Grey’s Anatomy season finale is promising to be … wait for it … legendary! And as far as I’m concerned it just got even more awesome-sounding. The hilarious Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory (one of my favorite shows) is checking into Seattle Grace during the two-hour May 14 (season finale) episode!
The actress confirmed to EW that Grey’s knocked on her door. No audition necessary. But what is she going to be doing? Is there a clue? A hint? Some little spoiler to cling to?
Alas, no.

“It is a big ol’ secret. I have no clue what I am …read more

Do you ever get the feeling that Shonda Rhimes really misses Gilmore Girls? Grey’s Anatomy recently featured Emily Kuroda in the March 19 episode and now we learn that another Gilmore Girls alumn is checking into Seattle Grace: Liza Weil. Here’s a refresher for those who’ve forgotten: Liza Weil played Paris, Rory’s enemy turned frenemy turned self-proclaimed best friend. She was brilliant and hilarious and hands down one of my favorite characters on the show.
And if you’re not a Gilmore Girls fan and even if you are, there’s another fan favorite from Everwood scrubbing in: Debra Mooney.
So here’s the lowdown: …read more
