Here's an interesting tidbit of news that I ran across when reading either People or InTouch this morning: according to the magazine, Shonda Rhimes is actually really good friends with Isaiah Washington, and fought for his job on the show. I can believe that to an extent. What I can't believe is this next part: Shonda is contemplating creating a show just for Isaiah. And...that was the extent of the article. Can I just say that Shonda's already got enough under her belt with one hit show, another show premiering in the fall, and yet another show placed on the backburner (where it's been for...years)? Plus, she'd have to travel to a different network for this show, because Lord knows ABC won't work with Isaiah again, and vice versa. I'm hoping that this magazine is, well, wrong.
Here's the more exciting news: the anticipated return date for Grey's is September 27. This isn't confirmed and could be changed (and I wouldn't be surprised...it seems really late - however, a late start means less re-runs). The show goes back into production sometime this month, so details surrounding the new season (including the title of the premiere, air date, promotional photos and videos) should begin surfacing within the next six weeks, so stay tuned!
