Question: Any chance Shonda Rhimes will do an about-face and give Derek and Meredith a real wedding on Grey’s Anatomy? She backed down on her “no babies” stance, so I’m hoping maybe she changed her mind about the wedding thing, too. A girl can dream. —Rebecca
Ausiello: I did some snooping and it appears the province of Shondaland still legally recognizes Post-It Note weddings. “I deeply appreciate the fans and how much they care about Meredith and Derek, but as a woman and a human being and the mother of a girl, I just feel like this idea that somebody in a big, white dress is the be-all and end-all of human existent is a terrible message to send out,” maintains Rhimes. “I felt like Meredith and Derek’s choice to be together becomes a marriage of equals as opposed to some faux fairy tale. And while I love a good wedding, I felt like for Meredith, it was so counter to who she is as a human being. And I love the fact that Derek doesn’t need her to do it. I get why the fans want it; I’d probably want it too if I was just watching. But I literally feel sick every time think about Meredith in a big white poufy dress.”
Question: At the end of the Grey’s Anatomy finale, Alex was still using a breathing tube. Are we sure he’s okay? —Rachel
Ausiello: We’re better than sure; we’re positive. Grey’s boss lady Shonda Rhimes confirms that Alex is well on the road to recovery. “He lived,” she assures. “He [turned a corner].”
Question: Any House scoop?! —Dez
Ausiello: You bet, and straight from Doc Crankypants himself, no less. In the wake of this season’s (no pun intended) crushing finale, we may be about to meet a — gasp! — humbler House. As Hugh Laurie points out, when the M.D.’s patient died post-amputation, he was “suddenly rendered powerless. He suddenly [became], as we all are, that tiny little speck of dust floating in the cosmos, and he [realized] his smallness, insignificance, his inability to heal and save a life. He [was] undone at that moment, because he is someone who clings so fiercely to his own abilities that when those abilities just aren’t enough, he becomes nothing — or at least has to confront the possibility that he is nothing, as we all are in the grand scheme of things.”
Question: In your last Ask Ausiello, you mentioned that there would be an increased focus on Cary and his work with Glenn Childs next season on The Good Wife. Please tell me this means a lot more screen-time for silver fox Titus Welliver. I’m tired of only seeing his talent and pretty eyes for a few minutes at a time! —Annie
Ausiello: I thought for sure that Cary’s job switch would lead to a series-regular upgrade for Welliver in season 2. But, alas, a CBS insider tells me he’ll remain a recurring guest star.
Question: In light of the fact that Sweets and Daisy broke up in the finale, is it safe to say Carla Gallo is finished with Bones? —Amy
Ausiello: It is not safe to say that, and here’s why: “I will be back on Bones because the pilot I shot [Fox's The Station] did not get picked up,” Gallo reports. “[The producers] told me they would find a place for me.” Whether or not Daisy has a fiancĂ©e to come back to remains to be seen. “My hope is that Dr. Sweets, my Lancelot, doesn’t totally punish me for having left for a year and that he hasn’t moved on. I am so worried that we will not be a couple anymore, [but] I think it would be totally justified for him to be mad or consider it over. Basically his fiancĂ© said, ‘Peace out. See you in a year. My career is more important than our relationship.’ So I could understand the resentment. In real life, I would certainly be upset if someone did that to me. So I am so nervous. I don’t want him to move on. I love them together. They are great for each other. I think what will happen is that I will come back and be like, ‘We can be together now.’ And he’ll be like, ‘Uh, no. You crushed my heart and this is whom I met over the summer. Actually who I did over the summer.’” I actually think that’s a pretty good guess
