Don't any of these people have actual work to do?
LOL - I've been asking that question for 14 years.
Throughout the show I kept wondering ... hoping ... when Bailey is going to end her sabbatical because I'm sick to death of Karev throwing his ego around. Let it be soon.

I liked Jackson's scene with Matthew; just two guys trying to make the best of an awkward situation because they both care for April. Kinda refreshing.
I'll sheepishly admit I teared up when I heard Sara Ramirez' voice. But if anyone mentions it tomorrow, I'll deny it. :)

Go, Kepner! I had been hoping she and Matthew would find each other again. And I surely was hoping Grey's wouldn't go ghoulish again.

The brain tumor copout/retcon always worked on soap operas. Since Grey's is pretty much a fancy, big-budget soap opera, why not?

I hope it was a callback but a part of me thinks it wasn’t meant to be one. I don’t think they want us to think it was, because this story is legit giving me Izzie all over again.
I'm OK with that, maybe, if it's Alex that gets hit by a bus. *evil grin*

Seems like producers and writers are too fickle, and actors jump around so much these days for a supercouple to take shape and connect with the audience.

"We dumped her down the scrub sink outside OR 2"/"By the water"---I had to rewind that a couple of times because it was so good. Hee!
That was my favorite part ...
The episode seemed to stall and then jerk forward and stall again, but still it was compelling.

This was essentially some sort of power play over Callie/Calzona. To be like, "Look everyone! Arizona's new girlfriend is of another nationality just like the love of her life/ex wife! #notjustwhite"
Never did Cristina Yang ever randomly break out into Korean. And the one time Callie spoke Spanish, she was ranting over her father's visit.
I'm not impressed.
I never cared for Cristina, nor is my heritage Korean or Hispanic. But it is Polish, and I love homemade pierogi.
See the difference?

And the more they try to make Minnick likable, the more I despise her.
I really really really wish that she hadn't outed herself as a Pierogi Queen and spoken to Arizona in Polish. Because now I want to like her. Dammit, show!

- nitpick, when Webber was all, "april you're no longer chief of surgery..." if it was Meredith in that moment he would never have spoken to her like that. I'm so beyond done with this show trying to make me believe april stole mers job and should be considered a snake for it.
This annoyed me more than anything else on the show. Karev being an asshat to April as always aside, why the hell is everyone so snide with April about doing Meredith's job? Especially Meredith! Meredith did something stupid, paid for it, and someone had to take her place while she was having her tantrum. GSM seems more like a day care than a hospital filled with educated professionals at times ... OK, most of the time.

Amen to that. And have DeLuca be his right hand surgeon.

Can't say this enough. We know Alex is a douche; do we have to be reminded of it multiple times every episode?

First off, I feel like we're missing a couple episodes between last week's and this week's in regards to Minnick and Arizona. There was just too much of a jump there on Arizona's part for me to take any of it seriously. I still really do not like the idea of Minnick and Arizona, but I know it is inevitable. Blech. But seriously....no chemistry there (and I'm the sort of person who sees chemistry where most others don't....). Minnick as a character just seems so...haphazard!
I thought so, too - one minute Arizona is cautioning Eliza about her approach, and the next they're giggling together like a pair of tweens on their way to their first dance. There was no development to their relationship - it just went from 0 to 60 off camera. There's been no development in Eliza's character, either - one minute she's reviled for butting in to an entrenched system, and the next she's the Best Teacher Evah.
QuoteI actually liked the kidney transplant story line...until it became all about Jo. I'm ambivalent about that character so it is not like I resent her presence or anything--it just all lacked any sort of subtlety and felt like I was watching some sort of PSA. If they did have a message to bring home, I wish they would have trusted Luddington's acting ability to do it, and not hammer it so hard in the script.
I'm really tired of Jo ... The pouting, whining, the big, teary eyes - I just wish she'd spill her whole damn story already and be done with it! Until then, I don't care about her or her past. And I'm still trying to figure out how someone as young as she is could have packed in so much experience in such a short life ...
20 hours ago, dmc said:I did hear this but I am still surprised she just take her issue straight to the board for a vote.
I'm not because at least Meredith understands the hierarchy of the hospital - the hierarchy that she herself helped set up. She knows she can't go throwing her weight around because she's on the board.
Meredith's suspension is not a board issue - board of directors do not meddle (or at least they shouldn't) in personnel issues. The board's job is to hire a CEO, set policy, and take on fiduciary responsibility for the organization. Nothing more.

I remember being amused by Sami's grief sex with EJ because what she did, and Will's subsequent reaction to it, parroted almost to the letter Sami's reaction to Marlena's affair with John that produced Belle. Some of the dialogue was word for word, especially when Will told Sami he hated her, and accused her of breaking up the family.
Here's a clip of Sami and Marlena:

Sorry, Gladrags. I don't know why my brain wants to confuse the name... but my bad. It's Catherine. (Even after she married Richard, I mostly think of her as "that Avery bitch".)
LOL, I like that! :)
29 minutes ago, alleycatt101 said:I want to strip April's face from her traitorous body. She says she "earned" her new position. She didn't. Meredith earned it. April had it dropped in her lap. She's not a General Surgeon, she's a Trauma Surgeon and the way she acts is just going to alienate her from her friends and family. She doesn't deserve to be the new Chief of General, but if Owen had been suspended making her Chief of Trauma would've made sense. But this? When they can finally get Minnick out of the way, April is screwed, because Meredith knows how to run her department and April's just playing dress up.
April is just as qualified as Meredith to head the department, if not moreso because of her specialized training.

I came away feeling kinda of sorry for April. I am now even more convinced that Catherine is setting her up. Catherine went from having no use for April to being her bestie in a second.
Since I'm always looking for character growth on this show -- I know, I know, why am I always setting myself up for disappointment -- I'm hoping to see April become more self confident and Catherine become less of a bitch on wheels. A girl can dream.
11 hours ago, flickers said:I was surprised that the reveal of Catherine's deception took place offscreen, this tells me that it won't be considered such a big deal and her marriage to Richard will probably survive, unfortunately.
That was so disappointing! I wanted to see him bite her head off in a way that only Richard can.

Catherine. Her name is Catherine.

But when Amelia was talking to Owen about wanting several kids, and when they started trying... I don't think she was lying. But when she did think she was pregnant it brought back all the trauma of her baby's death. And then that boy she was treating died suddenly. She is an addict, things have tended to not go well for her (in part due to her own self-destructiveness) and she has no faith that this time things can be different. Derek's gone. Her fears have got her spinning out of control, jumping to worst case scenarios. Truly, in a lot of ways, the Amelia story is the most character driven thing on the show right now. I totally get where she's at. The level of fear she's at - it's irrational. She's the woman in the razor wire.
Yes, I saw that, too. She thought she was pregnant and everything piled on top of her at once. Her MO when she's overwhelmed is to run away - which may not be the most mature thing, but at least it's an improvement from using again - as she did before her wedding, too.
QuoteA friend and I were talking about Owen, and Shonda's beliefs about characters in general. I said that I saw this story as potentially being a way to redeem Owen and she reminded me that Shonda doesn't think about characters that way - as needing 'redemption arcs.' She likes her characters messy and full of shades of grey (no pun intended) so Owen's (or Arizona's, or Amelia's) mistakes/flaws aren't things she sees them as needing to be redeemed for, so much as things that make them three dimensional.
I'm no fan of Owen, but what would he need redeeming for?
8 hours ago, cycworker said:My point is that she hasn't changed her mind; she's just scared. Amelia wants children. She does. And I think Owen is going to be able to help her get past the fear.... he'll stand by her until she gets to that place where she is mentally healthy enough. Owen's going to get to be the genuinely strong - in a good way, not in an arrogant, macho way - one. He will successfully be there for her.
I don't care for Owen or Amelia one way or the other, but I hope you're right because it sure would be nice to see some character growth on this show.

Nobody liked April when she was chief resident, either. But, yeah, the whole premise is messed up.

The best thing about the Minnick storyline is that eventually Richard will get to call out Catherine on her treachery and betrayal.
Oh, wait, I forgot what show I was watching ...

I don't know much about boards and share but 51% I think that would means they can always overrules the other owners and that they should have a lot more board members representing them.
Apparently neither do any of the writers. That's not what that means.
Catherine is NOT on the board. Jackson is the representative of the Avery Foundation on the board. Catherine can try to sway Jackson's vote, but she has no vote.
The Avery Foundation agreed to one representative on the board of its choosing, and it chose Jackson. His vote doesn't count any more than anyone else's.
Since Jackson and the other doctors didn't know why Minnick was joining the staff, it doesn't seem that her role was discussed at the board level. Not that it necessarily would have been, since board members don't get involved in day to day operations. But usually a change in operations that big would at least have been reported to the board.

I must have missed the bit where Deluca dropped the charges??? And why would he Alex almost killed him!
In the real world - which I realize is meaningless to television writers and apparently to a number of viewers as well - DeLuca could no more "drop the charges" against Alex than Catherine could tell Bailey how to run training for the surgical residents.

As a major stake holder - Catherine does have the right to telll the chief of Surgery to make changes.
Catherine is not a member of the hospital board. She has no say in how the hospital operates.
Even if she were on the board, Catherine would have no power individually. Individual board members cannot make unilateral operational or policy changes for the organization.
Just another basic real-world concept the writers can't seem to grasp.

I didn't dislike this episode as much as I thought I would. The acting and production both were very good, and, frankly, I really don't care what happens to Alex anyway.

Susan Lucci will host the "Home & Family" show on Hallmark next week, and some of her former AMC castmates will join her:

I believe that there is a separate Chief of Staff...He's that guy played by the X-files Mitch Pilleggi that appears on the show once or twice a year.
He was the chairman of the board of directors before the plane crash. Boards of directors hire the CEO, make policy, oversee finances, and set direction for the hospital as a whole. Boards of directors do not manage personnel, train doctors, or tell anyone other than the CEO what to do.
And certainly no one board member can do anything on his or her own.
Didn't we have this conversation before, when we were discussing how Catherine overstepped when concocting this coup against Richard in the first place?

S15.E18: Add It Up
in Grey's Anatomy
I don't know where his nice digs came from, but we did see the outside of the place as he introduced it to Meredith, and then his sister and dad drove up.
It was unprofessional, but as usual Karev's ego overreacted. Karev didn't even notice until after he'd verbally abused Andrew a few times the irony of how Andrew's interaction with the mom at that point in time was just like a thousand interactions Karev has had with patients and families.
I'd love to see her go all Admiral Cain on her son-in-law. Heh.
Using the improper pronoun is not OK, but I guess the writers think ageism is OK. Because of course it would be the old guy who can't keep up, and not anyone in the 20-40 age range. [/sarcasm]
Agreed. Grey's may be a soap opera, but it's not at All My Children levels. Not yet, anyway ...
