'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7 Scoop: New Hookups, a New Start & More (VIDEO)

by Maggie Furlong, posted Sep 10th 2010 5:10PM



If you're a 'Grey's Anatomy' fan, you've probably been thinking about last season's big finale for the past four months. Luckily, the wait for the new season (premieres Thurs., Sept. 23, 9PM ET on ABC) is almost over.

I sat down with Seattle Grace's newest full-time staff members, Jackson (Jesse Williams) and Teddy (Kim Raver), to talk about where we pick back up and how the hospital shootings have affected everyone ... and effectively restarted the show.


Apparently it's also brought out a lot of honesty in the doctors, and introduced a few new romantic prospects for Williams, Raver and the other remaining single characters. Like guest star James Tupper, who'll be playing the hospital grief counselor for at least the first three episodes. No way is he stopping by and not getting some action. "Some of us have counseling with him, and some of us don't," Raver says coyly.

I cannot wait. Are you excited for the new season of 'Grey's'? Or do you think you've seen it all when it comes to this show?

The halls of Seattle Grace are about to get even more crowded. Following the news that Grey's Anatomy newcomers Sarah Drew and Jesse Williams
have been promoted to series regulars for season 7 comes word that James Tupper (of that other medical drama, Mercy, which was recently canceled) is joining the cast as well.

Tupper will play the recurring role of Dr. Andrew Perkins, a trauma counselor who is brought in to help the doctors deal with issues stemming from the mad gunman murder spree that took place in the Grey's Anatomy season finale. Now, before fan starts wondering how the already-bloated show will be able to accommodate yet another main character, take a deep sigh of relief: Tupper is only joining the cast as a recurring character. While the exact total number of episodes he will appear in remains unclear, Tupper is confirmed for at least two episodes in season 7, starting with the season premiere.

Interestingly enough, Grey's Anatomy already had a trauma counselor on staff, Dr. Wyatt, played by Amy Madigan. Dr. Wyatt helped Meredith with her post-drowning issues and Dr. Hunt (Kevin McKidd) with his PTSD and relationship with Cristina (Sandra Oh). With recent news that Amy Madigan was cast in a recurring role on the sci-fi drama Fringe, Grey's Anatomy obviously felt they needed a replacement.

Am tired of GA. Hopefully this will be the season they get rid of the whiners and deadbeats. Maybe this is what the show needs to come back from the dead.
