First Promo For "New History"

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:42:28 EST

Below is the first promo for next Thursday's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "New History." Kim Raver makes her first appearance as Seattle Grace's new "cardio god."

Somehow, we don't expect Cristina to be thrilled to see Owen's fellow Iraq vet.

Also, Izzie returns from her leave of absence ... or wherever it was she went.

We imagine that subject will be addressed pretty soon by Alex. Oh, and if what Meredith asks her here is actually true, Izzie's got some big news to share with him, too ...

New Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice Crossover to Feature Kate Walsh, Eric Dane and Leven Rambin

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:59:18 EST

Get ready for Addison's return ... again!

Private Practice star Kate Walsh is heading back to Grey’s Anatomy in early January to play a key role in a top-secret crossover involving Addison, Mark, and guest star Leven Rambin.

The situation as we know it is as follows:

In the Grey’s Anatomy half of the crossover, Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) summons Addison to Seattle Grace to perform surgery on Rambin's character, who was announced last week.

The storyline spills into Private Practice when, according to creator Shonda Rhimes, “complications arise and Mark ends up taking [her] back down to L.A. for more surgery.”

As for Mark’s connection to this new crossover character?

That remains to be seen. As does whether sparks fly between lovers-turned-friends Addison and Mark, and what impact this new crisis has, if any, on the future of Mark and Lexie.

Answers to all those questions will likely be revealed, or at least hinted at, in future spoilers.

For now, it's up to us to debate them right here. What do you think happens, and are you excited for the crossover? Sound off on this Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice news below!

Grey's Anatomy Episode Guide: "Invest in Love"

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:25:07 EST

Last night was all about children in distress. Very different kinds of distress.

Whether it was Alex giving a prematurely-born infant skin-on-skin contact to help it survive just another minute, or Cristina and Jackson going rogue in the O.R., limits where pushed.

Sadly, for Arizona, she was unable to save the life of a patient she cared for deeply. But if there was any silver lining to be found, perhaps someone finally got through to the Chief.

Jessica Capshaw in particular was brilliant last night, proving that hospitals are not just about dollars and cents, but a sense of compassion. Another terrific performance by the cast.

For the complete rundown, check out our episode recap of "Invest in Love."

It was Arizona's time to shine last night - in an unexpected way.

Within the episode main page you will see links to Grey's Anatomy quotes, music, photos and videos, which we're working on now. These are available for all episodes!

Private Practice Episode Guide: "Slip Slidin' Away"

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:52:34 EST

Last night's episode of Private Practice featured four different story lines:

Charlotte is upset because she has no patients. Cooper tries to help in his awkward Cooper way. She rebuffs him. They make up and are generally a very cute couple.

Pete and Violet treat Barbara, a depressed woman, with electroshock therapy. She responds in a way they never saw coming - and tells them a lot about themselves.

Addison is treating a woman who suffers from stage four ovarian cancer, meets a cute oncologist who asks her out, and ultimately morphs into a crazy cat lady. Sort of.

Naomi meets a wheelchair-bound specialist who she clashes with, despite his being in a wheelchair making her uncomfortable. But she earns his respect - and vice versa.

Jessica Capshaw Previews Tonight's Grey's Anatomy

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:42:20 EST

Last week, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) stepped into the spotlight, saving a co-worker's legs and life. This week, it's up to Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) to test both her ethics and her surgical skills in the night's central medical case.

Her patient, age 10, happens to have parents who happen to have millions to donate to the hospital. Could Arizona personally bring Seattle Grace out of economic turmoil?

Jessica Capshaw sat down with TV Guide to talk about the challenges her character will face, upcoming speed bumps for Arizona and Callie and all things Grey's Anatomy ...

Q: What can you tell us about the Arizona-centric episode?

Jessica: I have a patient who I fight very hard for. Everybody feels strongly about it and it's a very high-stakes episode. It's life or death. The episode speaks to the whole idea that money runs the hospital. The chief [James Pickens, Jr.] is having a hard time figuring out how to make the hospital ascend the ranks of the numbers game, [and] money helps make that happen.

This week, Arizona's case happens to involve a set of very wealthy parents who have the ability to give or not give in a very consequential way.

Q: Arizona seems to have a pretty straight moral compass. How will she feel in making these decisions based on money?

Jessica: Yeah, she's a little perfect that way [Laughs]. This episode has all of that in mind, but at the same time, we are all only human and we can all only ever do the best that we can.

Sometimes the best we can, in her case, leaves her a little more vulnerable to the elements and to the story and what's happening. She has to make choices that are hard as a surgeon, but also as a pre-eminent doctor in a hospital that is part of the reason people are giving money or not.

Q: This episode also features Arizona's birthday.

Jessica: She has a birthday and very in line with Arizona's character, who is not about herself and just very clear about who she is, she's not the one to be asking for balloons and candles. She thinks it's a day like any other day. There is a party, but it's not one that she knows about.

Given that in this particular episode we've centered on her professional and personal life, the two definitely crossover. She doesn't have the typical reaction to someone going out of their way to throw them a big party.

Q: What's in store for the future of Callie and Arizona's relationship?

Jessica: This season has been about cementing a very mature and grounded relationship and taking it forward. This is a drama, of course; there will be conflict, but for the time being, they're enjoying being in a relationship that seems stable.

Q: We have not seen Callie and Arizona get intimate this season. Sara Ramirez said they probably are. What's your take on that?

Jessica: Definitely, of course it's happening. They're in a committed relationship. It's like the beginnings of any relationship, but I think they're very much together and all of that is happening. I'm sure that we'll have our time.

Q: Callie has vacillated about her sexuality. Could that be an issue that comes up?

Jessica: There's definitely ample opportunity for that to happen. Obviously the halls of Seattle Grace have been well known for missteps. These are doctors, they're in intense situations and their personal lives follow suit. They make mistakes. They kiss the wrong people, they sleep with the wrong people, they sleep with the right people, they kiss the right people. We get to see how things unfold and if there's forgiveness. Callie could find another guy or girl. Her playing field is vast.

Q: Will Sloan (Eric Dane) and Arizona butt heads because they've slept with the same woman?

Jessica: In a way it's implied that they might. Whenever there's been a chance to play that I am intimidated by him or being standoffish, I've always chosen to make it very playful. It's much more Arizona's style to find it very amusing.

Q: Could there be wedding bells for Callie and Arizona?

Jessica: There's probably a lot more stuff that has to happen before that happens. Listen, being that I've been married for five years now and I've been with my husband for nearly eight, you have to make sure you're with the right person and you need the groundwork to be laid. I don't think they're going to get married just to get married. As Arizona goes, I think she has incredible discipline and she does, as you said, have a very strict moral compass and marriage would not be something she would jump into without giving it a great amount of thought.

Q: Arizona refers to her family a lot. Will we meet her dad?

Jessica: I hope that we do. They've certainly set it up that we could and it would be a great opportunity to take advantage of.

Q: Arizona has been much less fazed by the merger. Is she just super confident?

Jessica: It's sort of funny, she never thinks she's wrong and you don't hate her for it. There's no ego though, she just always thinks she's right and she is. Cristina wanted to get on my service because no one was going to let go of the person that saves babies, so maybe that's part of it. In Thursday's episode, it will be revealed whether or not she's worth her weight in gold and how important she is.

Grey's Anatomy Spoilers: The Future of Izzie and Alex

steve@iscribelimited.com (iheartizzie) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:08:06 EST

If you've watched Grey's Anatomy this season, specifically the past few weeks, you know that the future of Alex and Izzie is very much up in the air. What's next for the married couple?

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello has some info on that straight from the woman who created Grey's Anatomy. And while cryptic, she's not entirely negative about them ...

Q: Please give us some scoop on Alex and Izzie on Grey’s Anatomy. Is there any good news for them coming up at all? I’m absolutely dying here!

A: My new BFF Shonda Rhimes says there are “some shocking things” in store for the newlyweds during the second half of the current sixth season.

“The next part of [their] journey,” she teases, “is going to be pretty interesting.”

I don’t know about you, but I get a little scared when Shonda throws words around like “pretty” and “interesting.” What do you think this means?
