Wow, I don’t even know where to begin dissecting the amount of wrongness that came out of ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson’s mouth at the TCA Winter Press Tour today. Here’s a transcript so we can share in the mind-boggling, wtf-ness of it:

McPherson: Melissa George was a guest for one episode.
Reporter #1: …so many guests just leaving — no, she was in more than one episode.
McPherson: I’m not going to answer the question, that’s an absurd question. The only person who has left the show is Isaiah Washington.
Reporter #2: Brooke Smith.
Reporter #3: Melissa had contracted for 8 to 11 episodes, …read more

The Chief wasn’t kidding when he said Seattle Grace was having trouble keeping their staff! Melissa George is next to depart, according to Ausiello.
George told Entertainment Weekly that it was her choice to leave the show. She wants to “do something else.” That seems rather abrupt, considering she was intended to appear in 8-11 episodes with perhaps an option to remain for good.
Ain’t happening, alas. And sources behind the scenes seem to imply that it wasn’t all her idea. Seems like Sadie’s storyline had hit a brick wall – or as they like to put it ‘come to an …read more

Wow, first they fire Brooke Smith, because they’re not happy with the “explicit” nature of her character’s lesbian relationship, and now they’re de-gaying Melissa George’s character. ABC is on an anti-gay rampage suddenly. Rather hypocritical for a network that fired an actor for his gay slurs.
Kristin from E! Online is reporting that Melissa George’s character “came on as a lesbian character, but they changed the script and now she isn’t. She starts off flirting with Callie but it never goes anywhere.” I thought it was bisexual? Well, all the same. No more.
Wonder if that means the entire Meredith/Sadie thing …read more

The spoilers for Grey’s Anatomy keep pouring in, and here’s a few more, courtesy of Michael Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly.
With regards to Ausiello’s very vague and cryptic clue regarding Denny’s return and Katherine Heigl’s possible departure at the end of the season (which Kristin from E! Online says won’t happen), we got this: “The exit primer I alluded to does not concern any kind of health crisis. Rather, it pertains to a very dark day in Izzie’s professional career that rears its ugly head again.”
A dark day in Izzie’s professional career? Is it something …read more

In a recent interview with Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly, Melissa George answered some questions about her upcoming role on Grey’s Anatomy. It sort of seems like she doesn’t really know any more than we do about what’s to come for her character. Shonda and Co. are keeping a tight lid on the details.
Warning: Spoilerish type things ahead. But mostly a lot of answers that leave you with more questions than anything else.
Onward!
When asked to say more about Sadie (that’s the character’s name), Melissa George stated that she’s “dying to find out more about her because her behavior is so …read more
