has anyone heard about Dr. Burke leaving Grey's Anatomy?

I haven't heard that one.  Grey's is pretty good at keeping their plans a secret, so I would just wait and see what happens tonight.

Actually, they have explained his absence (not directly), and yes he IS coming back... just not full-time.  \n\nMAJOR General (two stars, now!) Jack O'Neill is now the Director of Homeworld Security, as Gen. Hammond has retired (Hammond made appearances in "The Fourth Horseman" parts 1 & 2 wearing civilian attire) and passed the job along to him.  Jack, in turn, appointed Gen. Landry to head the SGC.\n\nRDA will return as a guest in season ten, tenatively titled "200", and has been asked to make appearances in other episodes of both SG-1 and Atlantis.

"No More Nurse's Ball!\n\n\nIt has been announced that there is no Nurse's Ball this year on General Hospital (and presumably, Port Charles as well). There isn't any reason given as of yet.\nThe show will still act like the doctors, nurses, et al. are having the Nurse's Ball, we just won't get to see it on camera.\n\nThe only speculation I've seen about why this might be, is that due to Port Charles' new shooting schedule, it would be too difficult to co-ordinate shooting between the two shows and have the ball air concurrently on both shows. I don't think this is really the reason, however.\n\nFirst of all, I've got to assume that the shooting schedule is planned way in advance, and so it would be easy enough to co-ordinate if they really wanted to. Secondly, they could just show it on GH but not PC, which would be easiest enough (it's not like the cast members of PC contribute all that much to the Nurse's Ball, anyway).\n\nI don't know what kind of ratings the Nurse's Balls get, but I'm sure they are very popular with fans. Polls I've seen show that fans want their Nurse's Ball. I've never met anyone who didn't like them.\n\nMy guess is, someone in charge of GH doesn't like them. This could be the writers. The new writers are Charles Pratt and Bob Guza. Guza is reknowned for liking dark stories. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that having your characters dance in chorus lines and sing love songs doesn't equate with "dark". It could be the actors. Perhaps they are sick of doing it every year and they have complained so much, that this has contributed to the decision. But I don't think so; actors are hams and getting the chance to show off their singing and dancing would be something I'll bet they enjoy.\n\nIt could be the producers somewhere down the line. Maybe it IS the ratings. Or maybe organizing the music, etc. is an mess that they just didn't feel was worth it any more. Or perhaps they just thought that some of the numbers done at the Nurse's Ball are cheesy and don't show GH in a good light (they may be partly right about that). Or maybe the ratings were down last year and they figure if they take a year off, maybe next year we will appreciate the Nurse's Ball more.\n\nI don't know what the reason is. All I know is that it will be sorely missed by fans. And there is so much talent on the show right now. Both Jacob Young (Lucky) and Coltin Scott (Nikolas) have CD's out or coming out, and their singing was the highlight for me last year. It's always a treat to hear Stuart Damon (Alan) sing. With everyone else, it's just fun to see what they will come up with!\n\nWrite to the Powers that be and tell them you want to see the Nurse's Ball come back next year!\n\nTake our POLL to let us know how you feel about the Nurse's Ball!"

I love it. When it disappeared this fall I thought for a long time that it had been cancelled.\n\nCan't wait until June 12th. I've never been a big Kyra Sedgwick fan but she really nailed the character of Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson.

I don't know if he's coming back.  There's so much speculation.  I hope he is, because like many fans, he's the reason I watch the show.  I guess we'll just have to watch next season and find out!

I love it!! But i'm kinda sad they changed the actor that plays the doctor, I thought the last was cuter.  Of course that was how that shows been going on for forever and five years, just keep changing doctors.

Oh Garth,\n\nStop those rumors!!! (Do Tell...)\n\nIt sounded like moves to me...  I wonder; is Ryan is still making/going out with the Desperate Housewife actress, Terry Hatcher?\n\nI think Ryan is probably the most intelligent person on that show.  Don't underestimate his abilities, ever.  He'll be on camera for a long, long, time.  Unbelievable energy.

It's T.R. Knight, who plays the character George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy.\n\nNo Shade of 'Grey' for T.R. Knight - http://extratv.warnerbros.com/v2/news/1006/20/2/text.html\nOctober 20, 2006\n\nTwenty-three million viewers witnessed the fireworks Thursday night on "Grey's Anatomy" as McDreamy and Addison's divorce became final.\n\nBut it seems the medical show's on-screen drama is no comparison to the real-life fireworks that may have led co-star T.R. Knight to tell People magazine he's gay.\n\n"T.R. Knight said that there were questions about his sexuality," People magazine's Jess Cagle dished. "He was not specific at all about what those questions were."\n\nKnight, who plays the unassuming, lovable nice guy, George O'Malley, was reportedly the target of a sexual slur made by co-star Isaiah Washington.\n\nWashington denies making the slur, which allegedly happened during a behind-the-scenes scuffle with McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey.\n\nAs for Knight, he told People, "I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me," adding he decided to come out in order to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there.\n\nOn Friday, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's" Jay Rodriguez told "Extra" he's proud of T.R.\n\n"I was kind of super excited," Rodriguez admitted. "I think the big fear in Hollywood is if you're an actor you can't act because you're gay; you can't play a straight role. And he just proved that theory wrong."\n\nCatch an all-new drama filled "Grey's Anatomy" each and every Thursday night on ABC!

Don't think of me as gay 'cuz I'm not, but I've been watching the show, and I think he's gone because he did an interview on Soap Digest (I picked it up and skimmed through it in WalMart) and he was talking about spending more time with his family. I wouldn't believe it except that they said the guy who plays John McBain, his contract is up in August and HE'S NOT COMING BACK!\n\nCAN'T WAIT TIL 2:00!

About three weeks ago, "Cold Pizza" dog-food eater Woody Paige denied rumors that he was leaving New York and all its Atlantic Video goodness to go back to The Denver Post and write columns about, uh, wearing funny hats or something. He said the rumors were just rumors.\n\nWell, WRONG. Paige is officially leaving the network to head back to Denver on December 1. From The Denver Post editor:\n\nAfter taking his act to Broadway for a little over two years, Woody Paige is returning home and to our sports pages as a columnist. As many of you know, Woody went to ESPN where he became a bit of a phenomenon on Around The Horn and Cold Pizza. But Woody has repeatedly expressed a desire to return to his "first love" of writing. That yearning only grew and we began discussing his possible return about two months ago. I am happy to report Woody will rejoin The Post on Dec. 1. He also will retain a relationship with ESPN as a regular on Around The Horn, which will be filmed in the ESPN studio we built near the design department.\nWait: Paige was a "phenomenon?" Awesome! We totally missed that. Some have said that this could be the final nail in "Cold Pizza"'s coffin, but we've heard that a million times before and, no offense Woody, but we can't imagine he'd be that difficult to replace. (Besides, we imagine "Cold Pizza" being cremated.) We wish Paige good luck on his tour back to Denver, and we wish Denver Post readers even MORE luck\n\n\nquated:deadspin.com

Who knows - he's gone quite mad of late with the jumping on sofas thing and forcing Scientology onto everyone he meets.\n\nThere's lots of rumors he's going to east the placenta but in a recent television interview he seemed to be denying it but certainly didn't deny it outright.\n\nThere's more details on this news item from the BBC... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4918290.stm

I have to say I LOVE Doctor Bailey.  She brings a lot of color to the show.  And she actually shows real emotion.  I like Meridith and all the others but Mer is actually starting to get on my nerve.  LOL  And to say that I'm not impressed with Dr. Burke.  I have no emotions for him at all except that he kinda pizzes me off.  I know you didn't ask who we don't like but I like to ramble on and on lol.
