I actually credit April and Jackson with the reinvigoration of this show, at least to a point. There was definitely a while in Grey's Anatomy's history where the show was quite boring, and where it felt as if it had lost all of it's luster. It took awhile but April and Jackson's courtship really turned things around in the show at around season 8. Granted they aren't the sole reason, but they are part of it. Now unfortunately it feels and seems as if they are going the way of Callie/Arizona. But April/Jackson are one of those magic couples on Grey's that it needs. I would say the same once applied to Lexie/Mark and Alex/Izzie . They really help with show morale.

Ellen Pompeo signs a new deal to remain on GREY'S, which is no big surprise. After all, Rhimes has as much as said before that Pompeo wasn't ready to be done yet (following Derek's exit), so they kept going, although it's almost certain it's more of a continued employment thing than anything else.

 

I do wonder, however, if it's for many years or year-to-year.

Finally catching up with Season 6 of this sometimes great, sometimes very frustrating show.

 

Izzie is in the middle of her on-again, off-again phase (thanks to Heigl). She just returned after a lengthy absence and... well, I didn't really miss her.

 

I enjoy all the new people: Charles, Jackson, Reed.

 

The reveal that Chief Webber's been drinking for months was AMAZING! I love so much that it was right there all this time and they tricked us.

Season 6/7: I really liked how they did the shooting and its aftermath for the first half of Season 7. And the resolution (with the college shooting) was a smart one.

 

They really made April likeable as the season progressed. Once she had that freakout during her trauma training, I knew she was a keeper.

 

I did not expect to cry so much when Arizona came back. And the reveal that Callie is pregnant genuinely surprised me. Great twist!

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
