User blog:Gcheung28/Season 9 Starts in September

Prepare yourself, Grey's Anatomy fans, the season premiere is almost here!!! Get excited because on September 27th, 2012, we are finally going to see what happens to our doctors!

SPOILER ALERT
Read these Season 9 spoilers at your own risk!


 * 1. Debbie Allen is coming back to Grey's to reprise her role as Catherine Avery, the mother of Jackson Avery, for at least one episode in the upcoming ninth season. She is also going to be behind the camera to direct this season's third episode!




 * 2. New faces are coming to Seattle! Tessa Ferrer will be joining Gaius Charles, Camilla Luddington and Tina Majorino in a recurring role next season. There's no word yet on who each of them will be playing, but when the show put out casting calls, here is what they were looking for:
 * Dr. Parker: “a top-of-his-game physician in his 40s or 50s”
 * Dr. Mel Barnett: “slightly younger” doctor
 * Male medical professional: “smart,” “not Hollywood handsome”
 * Female medical professional: “smart,” not Hollywood pretty”
 * Female patient: “girl-next-door pretty”


 * 3. Boo, McSteamy will be in the first two episodes of Season 9, but he plans on leaving the show after! He is expected to have closure with other characters, he could be dying, and he may or may not make arrangements with Arizona and Callie regarding their baby girl. It's not really known how his departure will be, but how will it affect his BFF McDreamy?


 * 4. Derek's hand was critically injured in the crash, so what is going to happen when the doctors return? Shonda Rhimes says, “It’s safe to say that he’ll always be a doctor, but he’ll deal with the question of ‘what kind of doctor are you when you can’t do the thing you’re greatest at any more?’ We’re going to see him head back, but there is that question for him.”

Hopefully MerDer's relationship stays strong despite what they are going to have go through! With the new season coming up, is there anything that you are hoping to see/get resolved?
