'Grey's Anatomy' begins shooting season six today, and tidbits of news are spreading like wildfire throughout the web. Here's a compilation of what we've learned so far:
1. Per TVGuide.com veteran actress Martha Plimpton begins a 2-episode guest starring arc in the season premiere as the mother of a young patient. (Perhaps Bailey won't be able to stay away from peds after all?) TVGuide.com is also reporting that X-files alum Mitch Pileggi will be reprising his role as Seattle Grace board chairman Larry Jennings. This time Jennnings will be on hand to conduct official hospital business, but hopefully at least one character will manage to get a swipe in about the fish they removed from a sensitive part of his anatomy on his last visit.
2. TV.Guide.com's Matt Mitovich sure has been on the hunt for 'Grey's' scoop this week. In addition to the casting news listed above, he has also revealed in his weekly Mega Buzz column that sources have confirmed to him that (SPOILER ALERT) the season six premiere will pick up with both George and Izzie still coding. Mittovich goes on to say that the outcome of this traumatic situation will have a deep impact on many of the characters "including one doctor whose reaction you may have taken for granted". (Who do you think he means? Guesses are welcome in the comments section.)
3. Recurring 'Grey's' star Steven Bailey has announced via his Twitter feed that Joe the Bartender will make his comeback in the season premiere. Yesterday he tweeted, "Grey's goes back into production tomorrow...I've been told I'm in the first episode of the year, but we shall see..." (Speaking of Twitter, feel free to follow my feed @erinjnolan.
4. As we all know by now, Emmy nominations will be announced Thursday morning, but those aren't the only awards that should be of interest to 'Grey's' fans. 'Grey's Anatomy' won several of E! Online's 2009 Tater Top Awards,but they weren't all necessarily ones the show can be proud of (hint: the reviled "ghost sex" storyline "won" a few). Check out Grey's Gabble for a complete list of which awards 'Grey's' picked up.
5. Shonda Rhimes has promised via her own Twitter feed to try and take a picture from the set today and post it on Twitter. Stay tuned to see if she follows through.
