Two Grey's Anatomy characters get their own blogs

Minor characters, sadly. Nurse Debbie and Joe the Bartender will be blogging during this season of Grey's Anatomy. They're blogging as the characters, mind you, not as the actors. The idea, according to ABC, is to blog about what's happening in between episodes. In the case of Joe, he'll be blogging about what the doctors are talking about at the bar. Cool, but I think the best character blog for Grey's would either be Cristina or Dr. Bailey.

Other character blogs, which are actually pretty good, are The Office's Dwight Schrute and How I Met Your Mother's Barney Stinson, written by Rainn Wilson and Neil Patrick Harris. CBS is setting up a MySpace page for How I Met Your Mother and will have other character blogs there. According to this article, the character blog has been a relatively successful way of remaining connected with viewers between episodes. Only time will tell whether the Grey's Anatomy blogs will be of any success. I think the obvious difference between them is Dwight and Barney are major characters, while the nurse and the bartender are not.
