Guest star that I wasn't quite so enamored of: Screaming Wife.[/quote]
She was on Judging Amy. I miss that show. So it was nice to see her again. But she did drive me nuts. I wanted someone to stick her with something to put her out for a few days!

I was hoping someone would resurrect this thread, thank you! I agree that CR did an excellent job as Hannah. The girl's got such enormous eyes and they spoke very clearly. Funny thing, too, is that I never really cared for Ms. Ricci as a person outside of her roles. I think she did an interview in Jane -- does anyone remember that? She said something to the effect of dropping her keys in the toilet and not knowing what to do. She ran off her thought process which included waking her boyfriend, blah blah blah. I know she was younger but she came off as kind of lame.
Answering the question of future GA appearances, according the IMDB, she's only in one episode.

Does anyone know who Grace's friends were in the previous episode? One was Timmy's mother on "Lassie" and I think they were all old sitcom moms, but I'm not positive who they were -- they just all looked really familiar.
Found this on the episode thread: June Lockhart and Betty Garrett from 1950s musicals (Take Me Out to the Ballgame, On the Town and My Sister Eileen) and "Laverne and Shirley."[I]

about the messenger bike racer: I watched this episode about a week and a half ago, right after I found out I'd be attending a bike race...which is this coming saturday.
(I hope it doesn't result in as many injuries as that Dead Baby race!)

I think the two-parter Superbowl episodes are the only ones KC is in.

What about Christina Ricci is she sticking around for any more epps? Also she was so great last week this is the best acting I personally have ever seen her do, but maybe tha's cause I watched the last cpuple of seasons of Allye McBeal.

Yeah - no joke they're the only ones he's in. Ouch.
Hannah/George? Interesting.
(And hopefully completely on topic: those were the best guest-stars I've ever noticed on GA. I had high hopes for KC's character breaking up that bedamned love triangle between the Drs McDreamy and Mere.)

Bomb squad guy was all over Meh, literally. Living up to the pink mist reputation. RIP!
I really like Hannah, I hope you cames back for more. George and her were cute together.

They really, really were. It's a pity that seeing as CR is this big Holywood star, and way too big to do TV long term, she won't be anything more than guest star, so her and George are dead in the water, long term. It's a shame. How cool was it that George was so sweet to Hannah, even though she is the person that put the woman he in wuv with, in mortal danger ?
Mad props to Dr Burke too, for praising Hannah, the way he did. I am not crazy about Dr Burke.He is a tad too cold and judgemental for me to warm to him in any real way, but occasionally he really impresses me and tonight, when he signaled out one of the "little" people for praise, I really, really warmed to him.

ARGH just once I was actually ROOTING for a hot guest star to hook up with Mere, and they go ahead and BLOW HIM UP. Kyle Chandler's character dying really hit me hard. I thought his last scene in the OR was excellent and I was extremely irritated when Mere superimposed McD in his place.
I really thought there was some interesting symbolism going with the Shepherd/Kyle Chandler stand-in. KC's casting couldn't have been mere happy coincidence -- physically, he has the same coloring and pretty, pretty eyes as PD. The only difference is that if I was scared I was going to die I would much rather look at KC's gentle coaxing expression than McD's smirk. AND KC plays the quirky humor so well -- he would have been SUCH A GOOD FIT on this show!! Argh.
Oh, and I didn't expect Ricci to be back for the second hour. Glad Hannah was comforted by George, Burke and Co. She was phenomenal. Emmy nom for sure.

Just want to get on the aww shucks train in the whole Kyle Chandlers characters literal blowing up thing. I too really enjoyed him and was really rooting for him and Mer becoming some sort of a couple. Too bad. But there still may be a very slim chance for George and Hannah if CHristina Ricci doesn't ahve any gigs lined up for a while. Anyone know if she's in any more eps this season?

I hope Christian Ricci is in more epps. George was so sweet with Hannah and I think they'd be a cute couple. George deserves someone.
As for KC, I'm actually glad that Dylan wasn't meant to be a recurring character. You just know he'd fall for Meh (just like every other man on earth apparently *insert eye rolling icon*.). I just couldn't watch KC have to play that. I lurves him too much to endure the horror of it. With Addi though, sure. :)

I guess it is here that I need to Profess My Love for Kyle Chandler... I've loved him since Homefront. And although he won't be coming back to GA (mark me down for the "wanted him to get together with Meredith" list, poo) I'm very glad for this high profile-yet-short stint, because everytime I told people he is on my "Freebie List of 5" (ala FRIENDS), everyone would reply "who"? I used to say, "Remember that crappy show Early Edition?" Now I can say "The hottie Bomb Squad guy who blew up on Grey's Anatomy!" Unfortunately, as soon as they showed him walking (in slow mo) outside the OR, I knew he was done. So sad. Love. Him. My husband just kept saying "Why did they have to blow up the bomb guy?" (he was sad, it was cute). I will watch anything KC is in, no matter how shitty, so I was thrilled to she him do such a fantastic job on one of my favorite shows! And whoever said someone give him a good series already, so we can see his cute face every week? Amen.

CR is a big Hollywood star? Really? Not being mean here but I haven't seen her in anything before Grey's Anatomy in quite a long time. I think the movie That Darn Cat, or whatever it was called, is the most recent thing I know she was in.
ETA wait, wait, I think I'm wrong. Wasn't she was on Joey last season?

She's been acting since she was very very young. She was in The Addams Family as the daughter, she was in Casper (the movie version), Now & Then, and a bunch of smaller independent films.

OMG, how much can I endorse this. He's my favorite actor. Ever. And I've been dying a slow death waiting to see him in a movie or tv show these last couple years. I finally watched this show tonight, crying of course, and told my husband I'd have to watch the stupid Friday Night Lights just to be able to see a few minutes a week of him. GA really screwed up giving him a 2-week stint. I'll stick around for George, of course, but it'll never be the same.

You know what would be awesome? If Kyle Chandler won an Emmy for this role. They give out Emmys to guest stars, right? He totally deserves it.

Ooooh, yes! Can we start a campaign for this somewhere?!
I will also be watching Friday Night Lights next fall, just for KC. Just like I sat through the crappy show Clubhouse for Dean Cain. Oh! Think we could get Dean Cain on GA? I would be soooo happy... No, no. That would be far too much hotness, with Patrick Dempsey and Dean Cain. Not that KC didn't come close to overloading the hot and talented quotient.
I think CR has been doing a lot of independent films, but she's also been in some other mainstream (crappy) stuff the last couple years, because I know I've seen her around... I just can't remember exactly what.

Oh my god, I need help. Who were the actors who played the gay dads in last night's episode? I know I've seen both of them in other roles; I can see them in scenes, but I have no idea where. Stupid IMDB is no help and I don't think either of them have been in enough stuff to qualify as H!ITGs. If anyone knows, please step up and say so. It's driving me crazy. Thanks.
Aha! Fisher from Roseanne, and spazzy guy on Andy Richter Controls the Universe, in case anyone else was wondering. Phew. I can sleep again.

So somewhere between Neptune and Mexico, Duncan managed to travel to Seattle to impersonate a hockey player who places too much faith in the Internet. Ah Teddy Dunn. Veronica Mars fans don't miss you, but I kind of did. A couple people in the ep thread mentioned that Dunn's acting was actually good on GA. I couldn't tell. I was too distracted with the possibilities of snark Logan or Veronica from VM would bring if Duncan ever cut off his own finger.

Okay, I'm late to the party but I just watched all of season 1 again. I can't stop watching the Viper scene. Holy hell that man is sexy. WOW

I definitely agree with the Viper love. I will forever know him as Mason from Dead Like Me, the coolest drugged up reaper ever. Callum Blue deserves so much more than Related.
I didn't see any improvement in Teddy Dunn's acting, but I liked his Donut-like trust in the interweb.
