Hot docs Jesse Williams and Kim Raver answered questions submitted by TV Squad readers for our Outside the Box interview show.

The 'Grey's Anatomy' co-stars sat down to talk about which real-life medical cases they'd like to bring to the show, other characters they'd like to play and how they dealt with last season's dramatic finale.

Raver and Williams gave us a little unexpected comedy when asked about their most awkward acting experiences. Williams had to stand naked in front of cast and crew while filming the movie 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,' while Kim had to do a love scene six months pregnant. Must have been really uncomfortable for the actor she was reading with... oh wait, that was Williams!

'Grey's Anatomy' is starting to inch closer to the classic seasons when Meredith, Cristina, Alex, and even Lexie, were given a challenge and reacted maturely to their patients' situations. This episode also made Jackson and April look like total fools. I loved the idea of the Chief giving the fourth-year residents a chance to step up, even if it was for a day. It also gave the others to create a pitch for the Chief. While $1 million should be chump change for a high-ranking hospital, it was interesting to see what each of the doctors would do with the money.

Sara Ramirez showed really good comic timing in this episode, with Callie attempting to psych-out all of the other doctors. Freaking out Teddy with the table of contents joke, handing Arizona the packet of tissues, and then her interactions with the chief were priceless. We saw a glimpse of the cafeteria B-table (Callie, Arizona, Teddy and Mark) and it made me miss the original cafeteria room banter.

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 love situation is growing ever more complicated on 'Grey's Anatomy' (Thu., 9PM ET on ABC). On the latest episode, we get a new complication in the Owen/Cristina/Teddy love triangle. Where will it all end?

[Spoiler alert.]

On the last episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' (Thu., 9PM ET on ABC), a daughter unexpectedly showed up on her father's doorstep. To further complicate things, the daughter was pregnant. Now, to complicate things even more, that same daughter is going into labor -- on the floor of her dad's apartment.

(S06E20) After several weeks of repeats, 'Grey's Anatomy' returns with an explosion of cast drama. The episode on a whole underwhelmed and could have been placed before the repeats. The Arizona/Callie baby issues continue, Teddy is still awkward in her situation, Owen still feels caught between two women, and Mark is still in a midlife crisis.

There were classic moments that reminded me of the heyday of 'Grey's,' where Cristina was the squealing fan to the rock star doctor, when Bailey told it like it is to Lexie, and the final moment between Derek and Meredith. It saddened me when we saw a few seconds of the lunch room, and the smallest table had Meredith, Christina and Alex as the only people remaining from the original interns. Alex really needs a plot line instead of having to sit alone and pout about life.

(S06E17) Chandra Wilson gets the opportunity to direct her own date this week on 'Grey's Anatomy.' Previously, she directed the episode 'Give Peace A Chance.' Sadly, the episode was not really substantial in any form or fashion. It followed the mold of the patients shaping the doctors (Teddy shouldn't be a bitch, Richard needs to calm down and see the big picture, and Arizona still doesn't want kids).

While everyone was working in a buddy system this week, in all truth, the only two pairs that worked were Meredith with Derek and Meredith with Christina. Maybe this show should return to the fact that it's 'Grey's Anatomy,' not 'Torres' Anatomy.' Meredith successfully called out Owen for being wishy-washy, and the five seconds of her with Derek was the best relationship in the whole episode.

James Van Der Beek has landed a recurring role on NBC's 'Mercy.' The 'Dawsons Creek' alum will play Dr. West on the freshman medical drama series, a "cocky" and "womanizing" doctor who is also harboring a major secret. If all goes well, Van Der Beek -- who has recently guested on shows like 'Ugly Betty,' 'The Forgotten' and 'One Tree Hill' -- could become a series regular. In the meantime, no word on when he'll officially scrub in. [Ausiello Files]

More casting news after the jump.

Doctor Altman, we officially have a love triangle in the cardiology department.

With old faces on 'Grey's Anatomy' moved on (T.R. Knight), or less visible (Katherine Heigl), a new one is staying – and sure to cause lots of fireworks, possibly between one of the show's hot hookups.

(S06E09) "According to Google, you don't exist" - Cristina Yang

We've reached a maximum capacity on Grey's Anatomy where all the billed characters showed up for a few seconds on the show then disappeared; even the bartender showed up. This left a lot of characters segregated to the side. Meredith returned and was out of the loop for most of the episode, stuck in a room practicing her craft on a plastic dummy.

We also found the return of Izzie and the introduction of a new cardio doctor, Dr. Teddy Altman. While I grew to like Teddy, I really wished that Izzie would just go home and never come back.

With the death of George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) greeting 'Grey's Anatomy' fans at the beginning of this season, Seattle Grace has experienced a void ... or should we say vacancy? According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kim Raver will be stepping into the job opening left by Knight's departure, starting with episode 9. And the plot thickens -- Michael Ausiello reports that Raver will be playing a surgeon and possible new love interest for Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd).

At least that's what it sounds like 24 EP Evan Katz told EW's Ausiello. According to Katz, some of the things they have planned for the FOX drama's eighth season don't involve a Jack/Audrey reunion.

Can you blame them? 24 has had some doosie plots in the past that are pretty hard to swallow, but the last we saw of Audrey was at the very end of season six, and she didn't look so good. If she somehow ended up in the fold again next year (which takes place in New York City), I can't see people being too happy about it.
