Dr. McDreamy Dishes on the 'Grey's Anatomy' Finale

May 12, 2006

This Sunday night "Grey's Anatomy" will air the first of a two-part finale, with the second part airing on Monday, rather than the following week, in which Cristina (SANDRA OH) takes over the ER, Izzie (KATHERINE HEIGL) and Burke (ISAIAH WASHINGTON) feel pressure to find Denny (JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN) a new heart and Derek (PATRICK DEMPSEY) holds the life of a friend in his hands.

"People will be happy with the end result," Patrick tells ET's MARK STEINES, who made a visit to the set to try to sleuth out some spoilers -- to no avail. "It is what they want to see. We had a memo sent to us that we can't talk about it."

Patrick isn't kidding that a memo came down from executive producer SHONDA RHIMES requesting that the cast and crew keep the storyline secrets. So all, Patrick would reveal is: "There are two hours left and something is going to happen between Derek and Meredith (ELLEN POMPEO)."

Whether or not that something is a reconciliation, or just a meeting to talk about Doc, their dog, he isn't saying.

But before the hit ABC medical drama winds down for the year, "20/20" will be taking a look at the "Anatomy of Grey's Anatomy" as part of a two-hour special edition of "20/20," Friday, May 12 from 9 to 11 p.m.

The news program will go behind the scenes to investigate whether or not the bizarre cases for which "Grey's Anatomy" has become famous are based on fact or fiction.

As the show is fiction, some dramatic license is taken, but Shonda claims, "Everything we do is possible and has happened at least once sometime in the world."

Among the cases "20/20" is looking at are the woman who was diagnosed with Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome; Rasmussen's Syndrome, a case in which a little girl suffered so terribly from seizures that she had to have half her brain removed; and Broken Heart Syndrome, where a woman shows up at the hospital each year on the anniversary of a loved one's death with the symptoms of a heart attack.

For a sneak peek at the finale of "Grey's Anatomy," tune in to tonight's ET! Then catch "17 Seconds," part one of the season finale, on Sunday, May 14 at 10 p.m. on ABC; then part two, "Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response" on Monday, May 15 at 9-11 p.m.

Did they kill Denny? I haven't watched yet!

I just wanna know who Meredith chose already! The torture!

When does Season Three start?

Krista and I watched it in Florida. this was our literal reaction. jaws dropped, turned and stared at each other for a good 4 seconds. after that everything was a blur but im pretty sure i threw my teddy bear at the TV.

Meredith had better have chosen Finn. Seriously, for her own sanity and self respect, it should be Finn. The show should open several months in the future and her and Finn are dating... then go from there. LOL

I'm still psyched that Denny died! LOL Is that sad or what?

A little? Picking Derek would ruin her a whole lot. How can ANYONE choose someone who respects you so little? Ick. It's Finn. Derek needs the whole next season(the WHOLE next season) to redeem himself and prove worthy of MEredith.

Oh, I felt bad for Izzie too; I think KH was terrific in the final scenes, but I just can't feel too bad because Denny nearly ruined her for me. I spent almot the whole episode screaming at her for her selfishness(I really think stealing that heart was awful), but seeing her so upset about Denny was really heartbreaking. No one deserves that. Ever. But I'm glad he's gone, so I'll be able to like her again. LOL

I didn't see anything hot about the sex at all; I found it disgusting and skeevy and gross. Especially because like 10 seconds before, she was all but begging to back off and leave her alone and he should have respected her, but it was all ABOUT him and what HE wanted. It wasn't about Meredith. Derek is such a selfish bastard.

I mean Derek, I guess, has always been selfish, but this season, he was beyond selfish since he was the one who chose the wife and now he's playing with both their emotions. That's why I want McSteamy to show and have Addison leave Derek for him and Meredith to be with Finn. He deserves to be alone.

Asshat.

I like Patrick Dempsey as an actor, but I don't think he played Derek as being redeemable or even as someone we as an audience should root for, despite his issues or whatever. He played him as a bastard first and foremost.

I still need to download it. It was such a good ep!
