Another Admirer For Izzie?

Index

From TV Guide:

Will Katherine's character Isobel "Izzie" Stevens in Grey's Anatomy have another admirer to contend with in the next few episodes of the hit medical drama? Quite possibly, according to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello in his weekly column:

Question: Oh. My. God. Grey's Anatomy's post-Super Bowl episode was fantastic! It was edge-of-my-seat material. Any clues as to what will happen next week? - Laura

Ausiello: Before we get to the big episode, I have some potentially huge Grey's gossip to share: Rumor has it that Chris O'Donnell has signed on for an eight-episode arc beginning in March. More details to come. Now, back to Sunday's Super installment, which, like Laura, I thought was pretty damn spectacular. Along with 38.1 million other viewers, I laughed (George fantasizing about showering with Meredith / Izzie / Cristina!), I cried (Bailey refusing to give birth without her husband!), I laughed some more (Izzie and Alex in the closet!), I cried some more (still with Bailey), I choked on a faux chicken finger (Meredith took Christina Ricci's place!) and then, before the credits rolled, I started counting the hours until next week's conclusion - spoilers for which are (shocker!) scarce. My guess - and this is just pure speculation - is that Meredith's brush with death will snap McDreamy out of his Addison - fueled trance and pave the way for their inevitable reconciliation. Oh, THIS JUST IN: ABC is rerunning the Super Bowl episode tomorrow (Thursday) at 9:30 pm/ET for the 16 people who missed it the first time.

Question: Is there going to be another guy involved in the whole Izzie and Alex relationship on Grey's Anatomy? I hope not - they just got back together. - Amy

Ausiello: Bad news. Remember that heart-transplant patient named Denny who made googly eyes at Izzie in the Jan. 15 episode? Well, as revealed exclusively in the current issue of TV Guide, he's coming back for a nine-episode arc to "shake things up a little bit," says Denny's portrayer, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. "Denny isn't going anywhere, and Alex isn't going anywhere.… Neither of them wants to let Izzie go." Now, this is where things get a little confusing. I'm also hearing that Chris O'Donnell's character is being brought on as a love interest for Izzie, so either Katherine Heigl is going to have three guys fighting over her or someone's spreading a little misinformation. Knowing those sneaky Grey's folks like I do, I'm guessing it's the latter.
