TV Guide published a brief preview for the returning Fall shows this week. This is what it had to say about season 11 of Grey’s Anatomy.

TV GUIDE: RETURNING FALL SHOWS

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)
Premieres: Thursday, Sept. 25 at 8/7c

Where We Left Off: Cristina said farewell just as Meredith’s life was hitting an impasse: Derek wants to move to Washington, D.C. and new half-sister Margaret — the love child of Ellis Grey and Richard Webber who was put up for adoption — has just started to work at Grey Sloan. Meanwhile, Bailey was poised to take Cristina’s seat on the board, but Alex was gifted her shares. Also, April revealed to Jackson that she was pregnant.
What’s Next: Meredith won’t take a backseat to Derek for very long, Owen may get a new love interest — possibly Amelia, who will be sticking around Seattle — Alex will fight for his position on the board, though Bailey won’t “go quietly,” Shonda Rhimes says. Also, we’ll get to see exactly how Ellis Grey was able to hide that her pregnancy with Margaret via flashback.

 
A few fan pics were posted on social media over the last few days and now I’ll just post them all at once. Click on the thumbnails for the bigger pics.

 
Finally, Kevin McKidd tweeted this photo of Justin and Jesse Williams on the set of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. Jesse celebrated his 33rd birthday yesterday and they’re currently shooting episode 11.01 which is being directed by Kevin.

I replaced two photos from the 2006 Columbus Mag shoot with bigger versions. Click on the thumbnails for the album.

 
Justin ended up walking into a prank (literally) when he was in New York in May. The video can be watched below and he appears at around the 1:15 mark. This is video intro:

“We made New Yorkers stop in their tracks, as if they had just walked into an invisible wall. All it took was some dollar store fishing line!”

I added two photos of Justin at a fundraiser for the feature film “Follow” at Raleigh Studios last Tuesday, July 22nd. Click on the thumbnails for the album.

The European ABC Press Tour this summer is the gift that keeps on giving. I still have to update with the written interviews and add more pics, but here are two more video interviews.

First interview is called “3 Question for Justin Chambers” and the questions are (roughly translated):
1. What’s your assessment of Alex after 10 seasons?
2. What nickname for Alex?
3. You have just re-signed for two years. How long are you willing to stay?

 
In this interview Justin talks a bit about where he’d like Alex’s story to go, the possible passing of the torch from Meredith Grey to another Grey half-sister, the longevity of the show, juggling family and work, and watching documentaries during the hiatus.

There were some technical issues with the site the last couple of days but things have been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This Tuesday was the first table read for season 11 of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ with filming starting this Friday. Grey’s creator and exec-producer, Shonda Rhimes, posted a photo of Justin and co-star Camilla Luddington.

ABC announced the Fall premiere dates for their shows yesterday, and now we know that the season 11 premiere of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will be on Thursday, September 25th.
Canadian viewers, however, will be able to watch the season premiere on Wednesday, September 24th on CTV.

 
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, was interviewed and teased the upcoming season. This is what she had to say about the story line related to Alex.

How will Bailey feel about Yang giving her position on the board to Alex?
Rhimes: Bailey is not going to go quietly. Bailey has taken a lot of crap and had a lot of hits, and Bailey is done having a lot of hits. I do feel like she has been very overlooked and underestimated. She may be done with that at this point.

Will Alex feel bad about this or is he ready to step up at the hospital?
Rhimes: I think Alex is looking out for himself and that is not wrong from his point of view.

EDIT: Adding the tidbit from Shonda’s interview with ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ below.

What can you say about Alex and Jo’s (Camilla Luddington) relationship going forward, especially since he may now be on the board?
Alex and Jo are in an interesting place. She is a really interesting influence on him. I don’t know that I would talk about them in terms of their relationship just yet because that’s not really the focus at the moment. His responsibilities in who he is becoming because Cristina has left him these shares and a seat on the board, what that means for him is complex. Does he want that? Is that what he’s looking for? Did he want the money grab that being Dr. Butthole provided him or does he want to be the guy who has a seat on the board? That is a big deal for him to figure out what he wants.
