Remember way back when, before the drowning arc, that there were rumors that Elizabeth Reaser's Jane Doe/Ava/Rebecca was going to be a psychiatrist? Which was then scrapped? Well, it looks as if that psychiatrist is making a comeback, albeit through a different actress. This should make for some veddy interesting storylines! I'm so excited for the show to return! Thanks to Michael Ausiello at TVGuide.com.

Amy Madigan has booked a multi-episode arc on Grey's Anatomy, sources confirm to me exclusively. The Oscar-nominated thesp — and former co-star of HBO's gone-but-not-forgotten Carnivale — is playing a psychiatrist who, and I'm just speculating here, may be the one to help Meredith get over her commitment issues, thus paving the way for the Mer/Der reunion Shonda Rhimes has been hyping. Meanwhile, Madigan's former Carnivale co-star, Clea DuVall, will fill the "everywoman housewife" role I teased in last week's Ask Ausiello. Her George Clooney-esque husband will be played by Jason O'Mara (Men in Trees, In Justice). I'm guessing one of them will be a patient. Both are on board for two episodes.
