Leven Rambin Joins Grey’s Anatomy in a Recurring Role (Spoilers)

Ingrid Diaz — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:42:40 +0000

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 of details about the character yet, beyond the fact that she’ll be showing up on both Grey’s and Private Practice but we’ll undoubtedly hear a whole lot more soon.

In the meantime, what do you think about someone coming around to stir up trouble between McSteamy and Little Grey? Are you worried for the couple or anxious for them to break up?

Grey’s Anatomy Casting News: Joel Grey to Guest Star

Ingrid Diaz — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:09:23 +0000

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 character, Shonda Rhimes states, “He was the teacher who convinced Izzie she was more than a girl from the trailer park.”

In addition, we may be seeing more of Izzie’s mother (played by Sharon Lawrence). While there’s no confirmation that she’ll be back, Rhimes has stated that they’d love to have her return to the set.

So worry not, Izzie fans. Katherine Heigl’s coming back.

Jesse Williams to Guest Star in Grey’s Anatomy

Ingrid Diaz — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:54:29 +0000

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 recurring role that might lead to something more permanent, or if he’s just going to show up for an episode or two and then vanish into the Bermuda Triangle-like parking lot of infinite mysteries.

If you can’t get enough of the actor, you can also look for him in the upcoming film The Cabin in the Woods, which Joss Whedon fans undoubtedly know all about (he co-wrote it).

More info when it becomes available! In the meantime, drop your thoughts on in the comments.

Mitch Pileggi Returns to Grey’s Anatomy

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:38:57 +0000

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 and George.

Care to guess what he may be doing back? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Grey’s Anatomy returns to ABC on Thursday, September 24 at 9pm EST.

TV Guide on Grey’s Anatomy Season Finale

Ingrid Diaz — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:01:11 +0000

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.

Well, death will do that. Of course, it’s still unknown if anyone will die, or who will die if someone does die. But it helps to be emotionally prepared.

Meanwhile, you can look forward to two exciting guest stars: Liza Weil (Gilmore Girls) and Debra Mooney (Everwood). As well as what now seems to be Shannon Lucio in place of Kaley Cuoco.

Rhimes and Co. are keeping a tight lid on details about the finale, which is a sure sign that some major things are in store.

The good news is: There’s all new episodes of Grey’s Anatomy paving the way until the finale.

This week: 5.21 “No Good at Saying Sorry” – Thursday, April 30, 9/8c on ABC.

Shannon Lucio to Replace Kaley Cuoco

Ingrid Diaz — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:28:06 +0000

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 a possibility. Even with the recasting it doesn’t sound particularly farfetched.

What do you think?

Kaley Cuoco Pulls Out of Grey’s Anatomy

Ingrid Diaz — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:07:49 +0000

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. Kaley is a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy and hopes to work with them in the future.”

A rep then e-mailed EW to clarify that the conflict was publicity-related rather than production-related.

I’m really disappointed by this news, as I was really excited about Cuoco appearing in Grey’s. Maybe next season?

UPDATE: The publicity conflict now blamed on CBS. Kaley Cuoco’s replacement announced.

Ausiello Talks Grey’s Anatomy on CNN

Ingrid Diaz — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:21:48 +0000

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?

Grey’s Anatomy Guest Star News: Kaley Cuoco

Ingrid Diaz — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:54:59 +0000

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 doing. I swear on my life that I have no idea what I am playing because it is the finale and they are keeping it under wraps until the last possible moment.”

Her guess is that she’s going to be a patient, but that’s just her personal guess.

I don’t really care what she’s doing, actually. I’m just excited that she’ll be on it. If you’re not watching TBBT, you should be. And How I Met Your Mother. Oh and Chuck. But I digress…

Any theories as to what her character might be?

Liza Weil, Debra Mooney to Guest Star on Grey’s Anatomy

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:31:11 +0000

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: Weil will be playing a cancer patient that crosses paths with Izzie, and Mooney has been cast in the very intriguing role of Owen’s mom. Wonder if she and Cristina will get along?

Ausiello reminds us of some interesting trivia regarding Weil: She’s married to Private Practice’s very own Paul Adelstein (Cooper)!

Both actresses will be appearing in the two-hour season finale that airs on May 14.

So if you haven’t already drawn a big circle around May 14, go get your red pen!

Is it April 23rd yet?
