ABC announced last week that a bunch (all?) the originals (Meredith, Derek, Karev, Christina, Webber, and I think one or two more - Bailey?) had signed two year contracts. (so in narrowing down who would be the death, most people took the originals off the list of possibilities - I had initially been worried it was Webber).
So hence the cliffhanger ending. No one really knew who among the cast was coming back or not.
But now looks like everyone stuck out in the wild is probably going to be fine. At least I hope so.
I don't think this is the greatest show on TV or anything, and I think the death sucked, but overall I'm still enjoying Grey's.
Holy shit Scandal is a crazy show, though. Perhaps too over the top, but it was a wild ride over 7 episodes. I'll definitely be back for that show when it comes back.
I really enjoyed Scandal, too. I'm not sure how much longevity it can have since it is so intense all the time, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
