Eric Dane spent six seasons playing Dr. Mark Sloan onGreys Anatomy, but the actor says he barely watched any episodes of the hit ABC series. Ever. In a recent interview with HuffPost at Build Series, Dane revealed, I watched three episodes of the show while I was on it. After all, he said, I was there when it happened, so I didnt need to see it. So, its safe to say he doesnt keep up with the series now. But he does keep in touch with some of his former cast members, including Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers. Hes also still friendly with series creator Shonda Rhimes. Shondas great, he said.Im still friends with her to this day. One thing that you do with Shonda is that you dont deviate. Thats one of the biggest lessons you learn is that you stick to the script. Even though hes been off the series for five years now, Dane still gets called by his Greys nickname, McSteamy. But he doesnt seem to mind too much. Ive been called a lot worse, he joked. It never did anything bad for me that nickname. So, I dont mind it ... Its not what Im … Continue reading →

Oh, baby! "Grey's Anatomy" Season 14 isn't just bringing back an old friend, it's introducing a new (super-cute) young one. It was already announced that Kim Raver would be returning as Dr. Teddy Altman in a guest arc in Season 14, and new photos show Raver scrubbed in with the Grey Sloan crew, including Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey), Jesse Williams (Jackson Avery), Camilla Luddington (Jo Wilson), and Sarah Drew (April Kepner): Check out some new photos with Raver, who just joined Instagram and fittingly made "Grey's" her first pics: Welcome home! Teddy left "Grey's" when she was fired by Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) so she could go take her dream job. She was mentioned in the Season 13 finale when Owen's sister Megan was discovered to have been alive all this time. Owen, Amelia (Caterina Scorsone), and Riggs (Martin Henderson) were all on the way to reunite with Megan (now recast and played by Abigail Spencer) when Season 13 ended. Sarah Drew is always great about sharing on-set photos, and she also shared some new Japril pics, including two adorable family photos with baby Harriet Kepner-Avery. If Harriet looks a little different than you remember, that's not a coincidence. In … Continue reading →

Greys Anatomy star Giacomo Gianniotti is hopeful that Dr. Andrew DeLuca will see happier days in the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. The 28-year-old actor discussed the future of the love triangle his character is currently entangled in with Jo (Camilla Luddington) and her ex, Alex (Justin Chambers). Over the course of the last season, DeLuca began developing strong feelings for Jo, and it appears theres a very real possibility for a deeper connection between the two doctors. DeLucas attempts to confess his feelings to Jo havent gone so well for him, Gianniotti recently told ET. But personally speaking, I think he jumped the gun a little bit. Shes fresh out of this relationship [with Alex]. I think she just needs a little time to process everything. Its not necessarily that she doesnt have interest and feelings for DeLuca, but she needs some space. RELATED: 'Grey's Anatomy' Casts DeLuca's Sister for Season 14 They were great friends before and confidantes during a traumatic moment in her life, he added. Theres definitely bonding that happened there regardless. I see them having some kind of a relationship, whether its love or friends. Adding a wrinkle to Jo and DeLucas blossoming relationship … Continue reading →

If you are one of those people who like to type why is this news? beneath stories that arent about earthquakes or civil wars, then let yourself go. Reports of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar not being recognised in a restaurant will have already sent you into fits of fury. Be aware that proper news makes only incidental appearances in this column. I am here to praise Silly Season, not to bury it. (Though I fear we may have to do a bit of both.) That charming Leo story was a classic example of Silly Season in action. Young Emma Kelly, a Dublin student with an admirable lack of vanity, is working in a Chicago restaurant for the summer. Our new Taoiseach who apparently holidays in V-necked tops arrived for a bite of supper. Emma didnt recognise him and, after making the chief wait in a queue, directed him to a small table right beside a bucket of rotting fish heads. (I made up the very last bit. Somebody has to get the fake news rolling.) More power to her. After realising her mistake, she had a photo taken and gave various amusingly embarrassed interviews for the domestic media. Who expects to … Continue reading →
