This week, ABC came through with some big
Grey's Anatomy news, giving us things to look forward to on upcoming episodes as well as some casting news involving two former teen stars. One of the things I'm most excited about was something I caught on a promo after last week's episode. On this Thursday's episode, "Haunt You Every Day", Alex is caught off guard when Ava (played by Elizabeth Reaser) returns to Seattle Grace. This is great news for
Grey's fans who were left without a resolution to their storyline at the end of last season.
** SPOILERS AHEAD **
According to TV Guide today, former teen stars Joshua Jackson and Seth Green have signed multiple episode deals with Grey's Anatomy. Jackson, best known as Pacey on
Dawson's Creek, will be playing a doctor and will start on this season's eleventh episode. Seth Green will play a Seattle Grace patient and said in an interview, "If you are going to get sick, Seattle Grace is the place to do it. Maybe they'll call me McSicky?" Green is known to his fans for his work in the
Austin Powers movies, and more recently,
Family Guy and
Robot Chicken.
Last season, the male doctors took a trip into the mountains and did some fishing. This season, Dr. Webber calls on his fellow male coworkers to help take his mind off his failing marriage in the episode "Kung Fu Fighting", which airs November 1st. Cristina and Izzie also get competitive with one another while Meredith has her hands full with the victim of a skydiving accident.
On the November 8th episode, "Physical Attraction ... Chemical Reaction", the title of the show refers to George and Izzie's relationship or perhaps lack thereof. Callie finds herself in hot water after relying too much on Bailey, her number two, who really is running the show. Sloan falls for a fellow surgeon but who could it be? The episode will also feature a guest appearance from
Prison Break's Rockmond Dunbar, who plays C-Note on the FOX drama.
With Ava returning, two great guest stars, and a slew of plot developments, it will be impossible for fans to stay away or miss an episode. There are still no spoilers regarding anything between Meredith and Lexie although their father (played by Jeff Perry) will be showing up in a few weeks. We'll be watching!
