OK, so maybe not this very minute. However, those amazing people over at EW.com (Entertainment Weekly) have dug up some information (well...a quote) from Shonda saying that Meredith and Derek will be together. Finally. Forever. And the storylines will be about trying to make it work and exploring relationships, etc. Which is what we've always wanted. Her reason for the change? The strike, which she says put it all into perspective. The reason this won't happen this very minute, though, is because apparently Rose (aka, The Plant) is sticking around for the final five episodes. (On a side note, Ava/Rebecca/Jane Doe/Elizabeth Reaser will be back for three, and Kate Walsh for one.) Plus, the first episode back picks up a few months later...at the end of one of Derek and Rose's dates (or so the rumors say). Nevertheless, this is amazing news. Stick around for more as it comes it.
(And on a totally unrelated note, rumors are flying that the first two episodes back is a two-parter, entitled "New York, New York." Stay tuned for updates.)
