Dr. Addison Forbes may be getting cozy at the Oceanside Wellness Center but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t miss Seattle Grace every now and then. Last season, on Grey’s Anatomy, Addison made the trip back to see Derek, Meredith, and the gang and found out that things had changed. She just about slapped her ex-husband when she realized that he and Meredith weren’t together anymore and was one of the first to figure out that Callie and Erica had something going on between them. Today, show creator Shonda Rhimes hinted to Entertainment Weekly that Addison may be visiting again in the middle of the upcoming season, but only if there’s a good story to tell. Fingers crossed!

When Grey’s Anatomy returns this fall, fans are going to want immediate updates on the workplace romances going on at Seattle Grace. Meredith finally put herself out there to Derek and said that she was ready for a life with him. Cristina finally let go of Burke and seems ready to meet up with a new doctor in an on call room. Alex has his hands full taking care of Rebecca, who appears to be going insane. Webber went home to his wife (and it was about time)! Izzie and George are no more and Callie seems to be moving on from her marriage just fine, cozying up to Erica Hahn. Just when you thought you figured those doctors out, season 5 updates come rolling in and it seems everyone at Seattle Grace will soon be feeling the love.

Five months after Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl appeared in the hit comedy Knocked Up, she told Vanity Fair that she thought the movie was “a little sexist”. The film grossed over $200 million and Heigl went on to star in 2008’s 27 Dresses and the upcoming 2000 film, The Ugly Truth. In the Vanity Fair interview, Heigl went on to say of Knocked Up, “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys. … It was hard for me to love the movie.” No one involved in making Knocked Up has commented – until now. While promoting the latest Judd Apatow film, Pineapple Express, Seth Rogen finally responded to Heigl’s nasty words about the movie they starred in together.

The fifth season of Grey's Anatomy is premiering on ABC in just under two months, and to tell you the truth, I'm pretty excited. Oh, I talk a good game about how I'm too cool for Grey's Anatomy, about how I'm sick to death of the word “seriously,” about how self-involved all the characters are on the show, and on and on. But actually, I kind of miss it. Shh, don't tell anyone. Last season brought a much needed improvement to the melodramatic god-awfulness that was season 3 but, thanks to the WGA strike, the season had to be wrapped up quicker than usual. So, I'm hoping for a lot in season 5.

Word on the street is that Jeffrey Dean Morgan will soon be returning on Grey's Anatomy. And as reported previously, he is expected to reprise his role as Denny Duquette, despite being killed off during the drama's second season, when the show returns for a fifth season. While many news outlets have already reported this casting scoop, producers of the show have remained tight-lipped on how they plan to incorporate Denny back into the canvas. Nevertheless, Jeffrey Dean Morgan remains optimistic about his comeback on Grey's Anatomy.
“We'll see,” Morgan told People when asked about rumors that Denny would return to Grey's next fall in a possible brain tumor storyline for Katherine Heigl's character Izzie. “I read about that, too. Who knows what's going to happen?”

Yes, yes, yes. I know that ABC and Grey's Anatomy brass have declared unequivocally that they have no intention of killing off Izzie Stevens and that Katherine Heigl will remain firmly affixed in her role, but how I wish that were not so. Seattle Grace Hospital would be so much better off without that self-righteous, judgmental twit who hardly bothers to help her patients, despite that pesky Hippocratic Oath she took. Not that Shonda is going to let Izzie die a horrible and violent death, but one can indulge in a little daydreaming, no?
I would like to propose a bizarro world that exists solely in my head, wherein all my fantasies can come true. Some things that would make the list? Taylor Kitsch moves to Seattle and confesses his undying love for me, I suddenly inherit Rory Gilmore's entire wardrobe, Neil Peart gives me drum lessons, and I never have to read another article about the “Mommy Wars” or the obesity epidemic ever again.

The ABC prime time schedule is mighty impressive. Perhaps not in the sense of quality (depends on your tastes) but in terms of consistency. ABC has a whole host of holdovers from last season. So many, in fact, that they are only premiering a few brand new series this Fall. Remember the days when ABC was the laughing stock of network television? That was only five or so years ago. Then came Lost, Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives (among others) and ABC is now a network juggernaut. Below you will find the premiere dates and times of every ABC Fall show.
