Grey's Anatomy Musical Episode Preview

We are almost a week away from the much talked about musical episode. "Song Beneath the Song." Tomorrow night's episode is the lead up to this much talked about event. Arizona throws Callie a baby shower and Mark, of course sticks his nose in. Everyone is invited and Mark and Arizona fight because it would seem that Mark knows Callie better than Arizona does.

The episode opens with Callie narrating: "The brain is the human's body most mysterious organ. It learns. It changes. It adapts. It tells us what we see. What we hear. It lets us feel love. I think it holds our soul. But no matter how much research we do, no one can really say how all that delicate gray matter inside our skull works. And when it's hurt, when the human brain is traumatized, well... that's when it gets even more mysterious."


"Song Beneath the Song." starts where tonight's episode leaves off. The episode features most of the cast singing some of the music that has been used on the show since it began in 2005. Sara Ramirez, the actress who plays Callie Torres is the lead vocalist and what a hell of a voice this lady has. The episode is worth watching simply to witness her talent.

There are some cringe moments during the episode where you just feel like laughing, however after you have watched the episode a few times (like I did), the drama that Shonda Rhimes was trying to capture came off very well. It would have been just as effective without the musical element, however being a lover of music, and many of the songs on the show, I enjoyed it immensely. There were several moments where I was reaching for the tissue box.

There is a scene between Derek and Meredith in the elevator that I just loved. It was possibly one of the most emotional scenes I have ever watched between those two. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) makes a cross-over appearance from Private Practice to help out; it is a brief appearance, Addison was only seen in a few scenes and I don't recall her singing either. There was no narration at the end, which might be a first in Grey's Anatomy history.


In summing up "Song Beneath the Song." It was probably one of the best episodes of the season, definitely a stand-out, traditional, emotionally charged Grey's episode. We are not far away from the end of Season 7, believe or not. Stay tuned people because all of the events in the upcoming episodes of Season 7 are leading up to the finale, which screens in about five weeks time.

Speculation has been rife today since the early hours of the morning about Partick Dempsey's comment to an Italian magazine regarding his contract with Grey's Anatomy.  See link below:

Rep Tells E! News a Different Story


Since this news broke yesterday afternoon, Patrick Dempsey's reprsentative has been quoted as telling E! News that: "He was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and we have no idea what the future holds," Ellen Pompeo was also quoted as saying that:
"No one has asked us to come back after season eight, so I couldn't presume that I'm coming back... if I haven't been invited," See link below:

As fans of the show many of us would all agree that Grey's Anatomy would not survive without these two talented actors and given that the show revolves around the characters of Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd, many fans believe Season 8 will be the last season of Grey's Anatomy.


Was Patrick Misquoted?


Given that this was an Italian magazine who quoted Patrick Dempsey's comment, it's possible a language barrier could be responsible for the above said misquote. Every news search has Patrick's representative denying the statement means he is leaving the show. Given the amount of press on this topic, I will be waiting with bated breath for a statement from the actors themselves on whether they plan to renew their contracts if a Season 9 is picked up by the ABC network in the US next year.

Ellen Also Rumoured to be Leaving Grey's


There have been rumours flying about for months that Ellen Pompeo was calling it quits after Season 8. However, nothing has been officially confirmed and her recent quote above tells us nothing. The future is unknown at the moment. It's hard not to speculate given Ellen and Patrick's contracts' are up at the end of Season 8, however every actor on the show is in the same boat and the shows creators and executives would not know whether Grey's has a future past Season 8 at this time.


If Patrick and Ellen do decide to leave, will the show survive without them?

What are your thoughts? Please comment below.
