Season finales are essentially the Hollywood version of final exams. They have to shock and awe and entice viewers into returning after four arduous months of dead air. From births and deaths to break-ups and OMG-worthy shockers, I’m grading 10 season finales. The SPOILER ALERT is implied.

Reckoning, Revenge’s thrilling season ender saw Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) not only confront her father’s killer in a satisfying and strangely sweet final fight, but surrender to her feelings for ruggedly handsome bartender, Jack. It wouldn’t be “Revenge” without infuriating twists and double-c...

Law & Order: SVU fans: you landed the best detective working in television.

After seven seasons as a major part of what made Cold Case a cult hit (one that's still talked about two years after its cancellation), Danny Pino has revitalized SVU in its thirteenth season. If anyone could fill the major void left by the departure of series star Christopher Meloni, it was Pino, who created a memorable character of his own in Cold Case's smart and often smart-mouthed Scotty Valens (and stepped in to replace a character on that series as well; current Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers had his ...

When “Grey’s Anatomy” made its triumphant mid-season premiere in 2005, it was the much-needed cure for my nasty case of Bad-Television-itis, and a lusty, dramatic, hilarious parallel to my real life. Back then, this television-aholic was just a college student who worked part-time at a hospital and fantasized about some of the more attractive doctors who offered me, a lowly clerk in medical records, more than a perfunctory smile. Of course, the men on “Grey’s Anatomy” are hotter than all of the doctors in said hospital combined and the drama is juicier than a Georgia peach.

My love affair...

“Grey’s Anatomy” has finally returned from the winter break, with this week offering the first new chapter in the lives of the surgeons at Seattle Grace. But will Cristina (Sandra Oh) ever return to work? And will the delicious Scott Foley continue to guest star?

Episode 11 of Season 7 began as many have recently: In the bedroom of Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey), and at the beginning of an argument. In the last episode, Derek took Cristina on a fishing trip—much to the disapproval of Meredith and Cristina’s new husband, Owen (Kevin McKidd). Meredith was grilling Derek ...

With 2010 drawing to a close, it’s time for the top 5 New Year’s Resolutions for the “Grey’s Anatomy” cast and crew! This season of “Grey’s Anatomy” has been full of changes, challenges and plot twists, and no doubt the 2011 episodes will continue to have that same depth of drama. However, certain members of the team should endeavor to adopt some specific New Year’s Resolutions for 2011, in light of events which have taken place during the first half of Season 7. Naturally, this article contains spoilers—but you can catch up on everything “Grey’s Anatomy” each week with the episode recaps h...

“Grey’s Anatomy” Season 7 continues to chronicle the return to “normal” for the surgeons at Seattle Grace, none with more difficult than Cristina (Sandra Oh). With her departure from the program, and after a disastrous evening of bartending at Joe’s, Cristina continues to be adrift. The drama ensues, only in episode 10 it is highlighted by festive holiday décor at Seattle Grace and numerous Christmas melodies on the soundtrack.

This week’s episode began with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo)’s shock that Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Cristina had made plans to go fishing. “She doesn’t do the wildernes...

This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy focused on the interpersonal relationships among the staff of Seattle Grace and the biology which fuels every human and their relationships. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek’s (Patrick Dempsey) visit to the OBYGN took top billing, with the doctor telling Meredith that she had a “hostile” womb. On the wake of her miscarriage in the Season 6 finale, the news was a harsh wake-up call for the currently childless couple.

As usual, Meredith fretted over the diagnosis; her worry only increased when she met one of the mandatory patients for Episode 4. The wom...

The familiar faces at Seattle Grace are still recovering from the traumatic events of the Season 6 finale, but Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Derek (Patrick Demsey), Cristina (Sandra Oh) and the rest of the Grey’s Anatomy cast are finally getting on the road to recovery—slowly and painfully, but surely. The theme of tonight’s episode was lightning; how it rarely strikes in one place twice, and how quickly life can be over with a single bolt of chance.

The episode began with Meredith continuing to campaign for approval to return to surgery, resorting to crocodile tears and a lukewarm confession o...

Katherine Heigl now sports a short cropped hairdo, colored brunette. Since her Grey's Anatomy character, Izzy, went through brain surgery, she can just wear a bald cap on the show.

"[This is] for fun, because on the show I don't have hair," Heigl said. "Now I can do whatever I want."

Resolving the season finale surgery after a summer hiatus has been a reunion of sorts for Heigl, who has been rumored to contemplate leaving the show altogether.

"It's exciting to be back, because I've missed my friends and it was really fun to see everybody. It's such a strange thing. It's been two ...

Australian actress Melissa George will quit her role on hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy - just three months after signing onto the show.

The star agreed to a short-term deal to star as intern Sadie Harris in November, and was widely expected to become a regular fixture. But George has revealed she will not be extending her contract, although she has nothing but praise for her co-stars.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, "I love the show so much. I've made some beautiful friends. I love T.R. Knight. I love Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers... I adore Ellen Pompeo. I think she's a s...

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Patrick Dempsey have been named America's sexiest TV stars. The two actors have claimed alternative covers of TV Guide's Sexiest Stars issue and Love Hewitt's onscreen husband in hit thriller Ghost Whisperer, David Conrad, is far from surprised she is the tops.

He says, "In the three years that we've been filming, there's always a moment when I just go, `Wow, that's a really beautiful woman.'"

Also making the new magazine hot list is Dempsey's Grey's Anatomy co-star star Justin Chambers, along with Vanessa Williams, Taye Diggs, Eva Longoria Parker and Lo...

Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers has spoken out for the first time about his battle with exhaustion, describing his condition as "a biological sleep disorder." The 37-year-old actor checked himself into Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center in January for treatment after a period of getting only one hour of sleep each week.

Chambers tells People, "I suffer from a biological sleep disorder. Your body is tired but your mind keeps racing. You lie down and then you get up and pace, and then you lie down but you can't fall asleep. It's like a dog chasing its tail. You get to your wits' end. I...

Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers blames Britney Spears for shining the media spotlight on his private battle with exhaustion. The actor checked himself into UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles for a break just days before Spears was admitted into the same hospital in a media frenzy.

And Chambers insists only his family and close friends would have known about his health issues if the hospital hadn't become a hot spot for reporters and the paparazzi.

The 37-year-old tells the new issue of Life & Style magazine, "I only got attention because Britney came. Otherwise, it would've be...

Britney Spears almost had celebrity company in the psychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center - Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers was also a patient this week. In a weird coincidence, the actor, who plays Dr. Alex Karev in the medical drama, checked himself in at the beginning of the week.

Chambers' representative has confirmed the star checked in on Monday and checked out hours before Spears was brought in for a 72-hour psychiatric hold.

The insider tells TMZ.com, father-of-five Chambers was "exhausted and suffers from a sleeping disorder and went in voluntarily to get some help...

No more new Grey's Anatomy episodes are set to air, at least not until the strike is resolved. Let's take a look back at the shortened fourth season of everyone's favorite show about a hospital where you would never want to be a patient.

One cast member left, and new ones took his place. We all learned to how much blood can spray on an intern. Most importantly, we were able to enjoy a show that in the previous season was a melodramatic letdown nearly each and every week.

Major Plot Points

Burke vanished and nobody called any of the Without a Trace people to look for him. Yes...

The cast of hit TV medical drama Grey's Anatomy has been given a huge pay boost. The show's star, bride-to-be Ellen Pompeo, has closed a new deal that will earn her almost $200,000-per-episode, according to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter, while castmates Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. have secured pay hikes to $125,000.

Producers are close to securing similar deals with castmembers Justin Chambers and T.R. Knight. The pay increases come a week after details of a salary dispute between ABC bosses and "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl were leaked to the press. Heigl, Sandr...

Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers is disappointed the show's Golden Globe Award win has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding co-star Isaiah Washington. The medical series picked up the award for best TV drama last week, but Washington's subsequent comment in the show's press room where he denied calling co-star T.R. Knight "a faggot" marred the celebration.

Washington has since sparked a public backlash, with many people calling for him to be sacked from the show. Chambers says, "It's an unfortunate situation. They're trying to work it out. I think what makes it most unfortu...

Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers is thrilled his hit TV show is so successful because he has five young children to support. The 35-year-old actor, who plays hunky Dr. Alex Karev on the show, has been married to his wife Keisha for 12 years.

He explains, "I've got five kids. I've got twins in there - it went from one to three, then four and then the stork brought a little boy four years ago. The oldest is eleven and the youngest is four. It's a blessing - it's great. We have very a cool life. My kids are good kids, we have a pretty cool, artistic home, lots of music, lots of goofin...
