windsprints May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 E! has a brief interview with some of the ladies. It more from the upfront day (the clothes are the same). Patrick leaving was one of the questions. Sarah saying she's happy for Patrick because he's spending time with his kids like she said the other day (hopefully she won't be attacked for it again) and Kelly briefly addressing it. I can't help it, I find it kind of funny that a little change in the wording of statements causes it to go from "Shonda wrote them a script" to acceptance. I thought James Pickens, Jr. addressed it all the best of all of them. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/6/#findComment-1146782

I don't know if this statement is necessarily accurate. Male viewers are generally more coveted than females because almost every show on network TV is more female skewing than male. The exceptions are Fox Sunday & Action Shows. Women are easier to get, and ABC's more popular shows are soaps which happen to appeal even more to women, so they keep getting new ones for overall ratings success, but they would love to have more than just Agents of Shield as a male skewing show. They just can't figure out how to do it. More on topic: Grey's is one of just 10 network shows to avoid dropping below a 2.0 multiple times in 18-49 this season. Congrats, Shonda, esp as she has 3 of the 5 dramas to do that.

stopthestatic May 31, 2015 Author Share May 31, 2015 (edited) Does anyone else think the show is now going to try and get a slightly high profile actor to come on as a new doctor/future love interest for Meredith? Think Benjamin Bratt for Addison. I know the wounds are very fresh, and they'll play the grieving widow/single mother thing for a while, but I would not be surprised if we get a relatively well-known male actor for recurring/possible series regular role as casting news this summer. I don't put it past Shonda to do that. We know she has trouble writing characters not being in romantic relationships and that's what the writers build the show on. Predictable, as always.

maasa May 31, 2015 Share May 31, 2015 (edited) I'm not surprised they are adding another male character. The show needs some men and the interns felt like children at this point in the show. Who they get will go a long way in determining my excitement level for the news. this new gentleman is probably going to be Catherine's outside candidate for Chief of Surgery, or will we have yet another character being added to the canvas in some capacity? If he's being added as a regular then he could be the candidate but I can't see them not making Bailey the Chief and would he stay after interviewing and losing? Love interest for Meredith makes sense but I thought they would have waited until mid-end of season for that so he could be for someone else. Although, the time jumps put Meredith over a year of grieving for Derek. Maybe the show figured why wait since MerDer fans made it clear they weren't returning via the petition and comments?

windsprints May 31, 2015 Share May 31, 2015 (edited) I'm not surprised either. The S11 ending left it as a reboot of sorts so a name actor coming in to potentially bring some new interest to the show seems about right. If the character is going to be a love interest for Meredith I think they'll wait until the second half of the season for anything to happen. Meredith has been grieving for over a year but its still new for the audience. There's other female characters too so he may not necessarily be for her. I think if he is for Meredith they would be looking for an actor in their early to mid 40s.

I am holding out a sliver of hope that this new character will be the chief candidate and not brought on a love interest (for anyone).

BaseOps June 15, 2015 Share June 15, 2015 Well, we knew another regular was coming so I shouldn't be surprised, but it's still kind of mind-blowing to think of how big the cast is going to be. Meredith, Alex, Richard, Bailey, Callie, Arizona, Owen, Jackson, April, Ben, Jo, Stef, Maggie, Amelia, New Guy + recurring new interns and Catharine. Many of these characters share 0 screen time and are totally unconnected to each other. I'm wondering if this new guy will play Bailey's competition for chief of surgery? I'm assuming he's also a love interest for Meredith at some point, but I'd be happy to be wrong. I'd rather focus Meredith's story on rebuilding her life - balancing being a single mom (to THREE young kids!) and working as a surgeon, and perhaps building her connection to Maggie. A totally new love interest for Callie would be exciting, though as I said in another thread, I wouldn't hate a Callie + Jackson pairing. Maybe they get drunk and reminisce about Mark? It'd create an interesting dynamic considering April / Arizona have become friends. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/6/#findComment-1243277

I like the actor but obviously we can't have opinions on the character yet since we haven't seen him so we'll see. I'm hoping he gets to keep his accent instead of using an American one. I hope his inevitable love interest is anyone other than Meredith. I think it would be better for them to go with a love interest that has zero in common with Patrick Dempsey's looks, not even something like hair color, to minimize the comparisons/complaining.

Because of that I gave "Off the Map" a shot. It was horrible, and sadly, he was not good in it. Can't speak to any of his other work. Oh my, I watched a couple of episodes yesterday, awful show and he was very weak in it. It only shows why the show failed,none of the actors managed to carry it through with their skills. Jenna Bans who was a great writer for Greys,also was the headwriter for this other show,but the performances are all around weak,Henderson included. There goes my excitement. Though, he might be similar to Mckidd,who is a great actor, but suffers on Greys, and at times you can´t watch him,the same might be with Henderson, he might be talented but if you have weak acting partners or are chewing the script, it can all go wrong. I tend to think he will play the same character on Greys as on Off the map, or a similar type of character. But I have to be fair,in a couple of scenes where his character remembers his dead wife and kid, that was some fine subtle acting I liked. His character Ben also had great chemistry with Lily, but then they changed the direction of storytelling and he ended up with sb else in S1. Wrong choice. With all respect to Henderson, he is not a name actor,by the way what kind of name actor would come on Greys to supposedly be McDreamy2? Nobody. It´s like committing your career´s suicide.

choclatechip45 June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 (edited) Just imagine the sum of money they will offer Pompeo to stay after S12 onwards. I bet she won´t refuse,she will have enough money to provide for both her kids and carefree pension. Oh my, I watched a couple of episodes yesterday, awful show and he was very weak in it. It only shows why the show failed,none of the actors managed to carry it through with their skills. Jenna Bans who was a great writer for Greys,also was the headwriter for this other show,but the performances are all around weak,Henderson included. There goes my excitement. Though, he might be similar to Mckidd,who is a great actor, but suffers on Greys, and at times you can´t watch him,the same might be with Henderson, he might be talented but if you have weak acting partners or are chewing the script, it can all go wrong.

Has Greys ever cast a name actor as a regular? The only regulars I have ever heard of before they were cast as Greys was Sandra Oh, Sara Ramirez and Sarah Drew. I knew who Jessica Capshaw was because of her mother.

Deanie87 June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 Do we know for sure that this (very hot btw) guy is a love interest for Meredith? There are 4 single women on the show now and one with marriage troubles. Any new guy is going to be called McDreamy 2.0 but it doesn't necessarily mean that he will be Merefith's love interest. At least not anytime soon. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/6/#findComment-1248410
Kagomei June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 We don't know anything yet. Even Ellen said earlier today that she doesn't know how the story will unfold and that she hasn't read a script yet so everybody is just speculating. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/6/#findComment-1248509

Kagomei June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 Yes. She was at the Taormina Film Fest in Italy. She even received an award for something. Plus, she kind of talked about Derek's death and fans weren't happy. Just check this twitter account. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/6/#findComment-1248753
windsprints June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 (edited) windsprints, is he a good actor? I think he is good and more than capable enough for Grey's Anatomy but different people like different actors. I watched all of Off The Map when it aired and thought he was good in the role. Its been awhile but I watched the show when it aired and IIRC it did improve as it went along but it wasn't a fantastic show IMO. I disagree that the actors were weak. I watched the show primarily because of the actors - Caroline Dhavernas (Wonderfalls), Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) and Mamie Gummer (many roles, including a recurring on The Good Wife) were all part of the cast. I also saw a couple of episodes of the Australian version of Secrets & Lies recently. I enjoyed the American version and just wanted to check out the other when it came across my Netflix recommendations. And, oddly just this weekend I watched a couple of episodes of a Sundance show that a friend recommended and he was in it. I thought he was good in both of those shows but I did only see a couple of episodes of each. I have no idea if his role will be of any interest to me or if he'll be great it in or suck at it but I am certainly willing to give him a chance. We'll see how it goes. He's already been bashed all over social media by MerDer fans so hopefully that will be done with now and he'll be judged based on what he does on the show. Has Greys ever cast a name actor as a regular? The only regulars I have ever heard of before they were cast as Greys was Sandra Oh, Sara Ramirez and Sarah Drew. I knew who Jessica Capshaw was because of her mother. I believe Joshua Jackson was originally cast as Owen but (I think) the writer's strike pushed back the timing of the role and it conflicted for him.
