That poster is so DARK. I truly wasn't expecting this.
And I'm scared of Shonda Rhimes, she said this season is gonna be a try out on how she can manage the show without the lead characters. I know she said this because Ellen Pompeo will be on maternity leave, but still, it scares me to hell!
Nobody knows what Shonda is gonna do. But Meredith will probably travel for a conference or something - not sure if Derek is going as well - because she's gonna be MIA from 3 to 5 episodes during the beginning of the season.
ALSO, IZZIE WILL LEAVE SEATTLE GRACE (FOR AT LEAST 5 EPISODES)

Katherine Heigl won’t have to worry about putting in long hours on the Grey’s Anatomy set for much longer. Sources confirm to me exclusively that the actress is taking a five-episode hiatus from the ABC drama to go shoot the Greg Berlanti-directed romantic comedy Life as We Know It.
ABC and Grey’s producers have accommodated Heigl’s busy film schedule before, but this is the first time they have given her permission to leave the show for an extended period of time. I’m told Heigl’s absence will be explained on screen, although it’s not clear what prompts Izzie to take off. (Marital trouble with Alex? A trip home to see mom? A Denny sighting in the Caribbean?)
The fact that Heigl was granted such a lengthy leave of absence is surprising in light of the public tongue-lashing ABC president Stephen McPherson gave her last month for complaining about a 17-hour work day. Also, Heigl’s departure — which starts this month and will kick in on screen around November — will almost certainly overlap with co-star Ellen Pompeo’s maternity leave. Translation: Grey’s will be without Izzie and Meredith at the same time!
Of course, Grey’s boss Shonda Rhimes warned me over the summer that change would be in the air this season. ”Eventually, everybody is going to leave the show,” admitted the exec, citing T.R. Knight’s exit and the temporary loss of Pompeo. ”So we’re looking at [ways] we can mess with the structure now…. Season 6 is about finding the longevity of the show and figuring out if there is a future for this show beyond these characters.”
Not so coincidentally, Grey’s recently announced it was adding three new doctors to its rotation: Nora Zehetner, Robert Baker, and Jesse Williams are joining the cast as recurring residents/ medical professionals.
Thoughts? Worried you won’t recognize Seattle Grace this season without George, Mer, and Izzie? Or are you psyched that this probably means more screen time for your other favorites? Sound off below!
OMG, the Grey's Anatomy marathon that i have been doing lately just makes me miss George so much. Who said that he would not be missed?
This is the best moment of the kids. We will never get any fun stuff from Grey's Anatomy no more The show is just getting darker and more tiring than ever.
I got confused when watching all the sneak peeks floating around the Internet. Did George really die? Coz Lexie said John Doe was not George and in the other scene, Mer/Der/Alex/Izzie were laughing/having fun. Seriously Shonda? :darh"

Yeah, what the **** at that?! :-/ George is dead, but Lexie does have photographic memory, and why is Izzie so happy, but WTF at the funeral. I'm just confused. Altho, George died, he did write double O seven on Mer's hand.
Its been running well WITH or WITHOUT her. She's And it was supposed to be her show right? GREY's Anatomy. Well, with the way theyve been producing it, it seems that people are more interested in the other supporting actors than the lead herself.
