Grey's Gabble on Tumblr

Hey Gabblers - Here’s the first real word we’ve heard from Chyler Leigh on departing Grey’s Anatomy.  Thanks to Greyslover for sending this in to us.

Chyler Leigh Makes Statement Regarding Her Departure

TVLine has gained an exclusive statement from Chyler Leigh regarding her decision to exit Grey’s Anatomy at the end of the recently-ended eighth season which saw the death of her character Lexie Grey in a horrific plane crash. Take a look at the statement below.

“Earlier this year, I made the decision that Season eight would be my last on “Grey’s Anatomy.” I met with Shonda and we worked together to give Lexie’s story appropriate closure. I am very lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for five seasons. My experience on “Grey’s Anatomy” is something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I want to take this time to say thank you to the fans. Your unconditional love and support have made these last five years very special for me. I look forward to my next chapter and I hope you will continue to follow me on my journey.”

Chyler, we love you, we will miss you, and we look forward to seeing you in something else in the future. Thank you for five amazing years as Lexie Grey.

I think it’s very interesting that Chyler had made this decision & there were no leaks about this.  They must have kept it strictly between Chyler & Shonda.  Still missing Lexie?  What do you think about Chyler’s decision to leave Grey’s?  Talk below.

Hey Gabblers - According to a Diamond Jubilee poll in Britian, Kevin McKidd’s Trainspotting was crowned the top film of the past six decades.

Trainspotting crowned as top film

Gritty drug drama Trainspotting has been named the best British film of the past six decades.

The movie - starring Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle - triumphed in a Diamond Jubilee poll staged by HMV to find the top screen hits of the Queen’s reign.

Monty Python And The Holy Grail was runner-up in the poll, while another Python comedy Life Of Brian was ranked fourth.

A pair of Harry Potter films made the top 10, as did two movies by the late British-based US director Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Trainspotting was based on the novel by Irvine Welsh about a group of heroin addicts in late 1980s Edinburgh. The film - also famous for its soundtrack - was made by Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle, soon to take a major role at London 2012 as the artistic director of the opening ceremony.

Trainspotting took six per cent of the 24,000 votes in the month-long poll, which saw the noughties as the most popular decade across the entire top 60, accounting for 18 of the titles.

Appropriately in the Diamond Jubilee year, the multiple Oscar-winning film The King’s Speech, which starred Colin Firth as the Queen’s father King George VI, featured in the top 10.

The highest ranked James Bond film was Goldfinger at 13. HMV is selling many of the films at a discount to mark the Jubilee.

Hey Gabblers - Well Michael Ausiello has posted an article that is a big spoiler for Private Practice.  Read below the cut if you want to be in the know.

Kate Walsh Eyes Private Practice Exit – Could the Show Go On Without Her?

If Private Practice carries on beyond next season it will likely do so without leading lady Kate Walsh.

The actress plans to depart the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff at the conclusion of the just-ordered 13-episode sixth season, our sister site Deadline reports.

It’s not clear if ABC and series creator Shonda Rhimes would keep the show going sans Walsh, but network execs stopped short of declaring the forthcoming season the show’s last.

The news comes just days after Walsh’s co-star, Tim Daly, announced on Twitter that he would not be returning in the fall.

I don’t see how Private Practice could continue without Kate.  I mean I am invested in the other characters but mainly watch for Addison.  No news on why Kate is considering leaving the show but we’ll keep you up to date when we here more.  Would you watch PrP without Kate?  Talk below.

Hey Gabblers - Kevin McKidd is a busy, not only with upcoming movies, but also with his music.  Here’s an article about what’s up with Kevin & his music career.  Thanks again to Kevin McKidd online for posting this.

Kevin’s Scottish Serenade

The Grey’s Anatomy star is giving the scalpel a rest.

Kevin McKidd’s returning to his roots by creating an album of Scottish folk music.

We brought you the news earlier this year that the actor had been picking up his guitar and having a singsong with old friends.

Well, that five-day jam session over Christmas in his native Scotland produced an album, The Speyside Sessions, and it’s available to buy from Friday 15th June.

The collection of traditional Scottish songs was a project to honour Kevin’s grandfather, who introduced him to music - and all the proceeds will go to Save The Children, for which the star is an ambassador.

Kevin told Entertainment Weekly: “It seemed like a good fit to bring all these people from my past and from my upbringing and all these songs that were important to me (together).”

And he’s even hinted that he’d love his Grey’s co-stars to appear on a future album, adding: “They are some great singers but sadly they all had Christmas plans. It was hard to get any of them to come to the wild highlands of Scotland with me.

“I would have loved it if they did. But there’s always The Speyside Sessions 2.”

Well, if the cast of Grey’s are popping over for a dram, we wouldn’t mind a cheeky little Scottish escape.

Like I said, busy, busy man.  I’ve not heard any of Kevin’s Scottish singing.  Does he sing with his normal Scottish voice?  Anyone know?  Tell us below.

Hollywood stars Robbie Coltrane, Kelly Macdonald and Kevin McKidd brought some Tinseltown glamour to Edinburgh yesterday.

The trio were in the capital to promote new Disney Pixar animated film Brave. Macdonald, 36, voices a medieval Scots archer named Merida.

One onlooker said: “It’s not often you see such big stars together here.”

Hey Gabblers - Matt Mitovich has an article on who might or might not be returning for several shows including some speculation on some Grey’s Anatomy characters.  We’ve put it below the cut for the spoiler free to not see it so read on if you want to know what Matt has to share.  We’ve only posted the part about the Grey’s Anatomy characters so if you want to read Matt’s whole article click on the source link to view the entire thing.

16 Fall TV Cliffhangers:  Which Stars Should Be Saved?  And Which Characters Are Expendable?

(Excerpt about Grey’s Jessica Capshaw & Eric Dane)

Jessica Capshaw, Grey’s Anatomy

WHY SHE’S A KEEPER: Because she’s one of the few Seattle Gracers to walk around with a sunny disposition amid so much Sturm und Drang. And coming off a rather inconsequential season for her and wife Callie, is that really how you would abruptly end things between them? Uh, no.

BUT IF SHE IS A GONER….: We’d probably learn in the season opener that in addition to ill-fated Lexie, fellow plane crash victim Arizona did not survive the wait for rescue or trip home — and then we’d sit back and witness Emmy-caliber work from Sara Ramirez.

Eric Dane, Grey’s Anatomy

WHY HE’S A KEEPER: We’ve enjoyed seeing “McSteamy” evolve into Derek’s bro (of sorts), Jackson’s multi-purpose mentor and Callie’s baby daddy. Plus, why controversially kill off Lexie if the man who loved her isn’t around to mourn the loss?

BUT IF HE IS A GONER….: Mark looked pretty worse for the wear in the wake of the plane crash. In fact, for a moment there we feared that two major characters had been snuffed. Perhaps it turns out that he didn’t survive the long wait for rescue and/or trip home?

Well, this just sounds like Matt’s guess on why & why not Jessica & Eric might come back.  Doesn’t really sound like he knows anything solid but I guess we’ll see how it turns out.  Do you think both Jessica & Eric will make it?  Tell us your thoughts below.

Hey Gabblers!

A fan posed a question to Matt about Lexie’s death and his take on it!

Question: What do you think of Lexie’s death on Grey’s Anatomy? The majority of the comments I have read on the Internet have been negative, not because of the death but mostly because of the bitter end for Mark and Lexie. I know people are saying sometime you need to shake up the series but could they have not done like ER and replace its cast, while keeping major players like Meredith, Derek and Cristina; I don’t really care about the others. I am PO’ed mostly because they end up taking away Meredith’s family, her mother and now her sister. She was not the worst or most annoying character; I would rather have April kill herself. Mark and Lexie could have ended up together and move to New York and have their babies. I also think they should kill off Mark and then they can live happily ever after in afterlife. Do you think it was necessary to kill off Lexie or they could have gone with another plan or killing off another character? Do you think dark and twisty Meredith will be back next season? Even though Lexie isn’t a huge character on the level of Meredith or Cristina, do you think Grey’s will lose viewers? — Aadil

Matt Roush: When it became clear that Shonda Rhimes was going to throw another tragic monkey-wrench into the world of Grey’s in the finale, I figured if she wanted there to be maximum emotional impact (with minimum loss to the actual core ensemble), either Lexie or Mark would be the most likely victims. Without sounding bloodthirsty, I’m generally OK with a show writing off/killing off characters if the storytelling rises to the occasion, and the immediate reaction I got (both while live-blogging on GetGlue and afterward) seemed to indicate that the final Mark-Lexie scene jerked the requisite tears, with Meredith’s subsequent meltdown sealing the deal. (If memory serves, ER killed a number of characters along the way as well, though rarely with this kind of melodramatic buildup; Grey’s is a much more romantically heightened brand of medical soap.) If Shonda felt she’d taken Lexie as far as she could, I’m OK with that, and I’m more than OK with Teddy leaving, and like you, I wish she’d taken April with her. I’m just sorry a rescue party didn’t show up before episode’s end. That was aggravating. And while I imagine Meredith will have some dark and twisty moments of grieving to come, she has a fuller life than she used to, so that’s a relief. And do I think this latest event will cost Grey’s viewers? No doubt. Exhaustion has already set in, as it does for any long-running show of this sort, but I still enjoy it enough to stick it out for at least another season. As long as we’re not subjected to visits by (shudder) Lexie’s ghost. I think they’ve learned their lesson on that front.
